Microsoft further clarifies Xbox One headset incompatibility
"The Wireless Controller has been redesigned to allow for higher data transfer speed between the controller and the console," Microsoft told Game Informer in a statement. "This also required creating a new expansion port design for headsets and future controller add-on devices which is different from a standard audio plug input."
Microsoft goes on to say that it "plans to develop solutions in the near future to allow consumers to connect many brands of wired gaming headsets to the Wireless Controller for gaming and chat audio," though it does not say what form those solutions may take.

ShadowBoltDashie Ehhh so I'm going to guess my Astros aren't going to work :/You can just purchase the adapter when it finally comes out for like (hopefully) $30 and then you won't have to buy a whole new pair of headphones.

Well this may seem dumb that they have totally made it so older headsets will not work with the xbox one but they are also doing something right by making an adapter for the older headsets.
