Here is a closer look at the Xbox One headset

4.7
Earlier today, we got the first look at the Xbox One after Major Nelson unboxed the new console that will be shipping later this year. One item that many had been curious about and not seen in detail previously, was the headset that will be included with the new console.

For those of you with an Xbox 360, you will know that voice communication is a key part of the online gaming experience, especially when you can link up with your friends and you mute the annoying tweens. So, what does the Xbox One have in store for delivering those smooth vibrations to your eardrums and are there any differences from the previous generation?

The new headset has been updated from the Xbox 360 edition to redesign the mute and volume up/down buttons of the headset that affixes to the controller. Along with a few other cosmetic changes, such as a more squared off look, as opposed to the more rounded design of the Xbox 360, the headset retain the basic shape and layout that Xbox users are accustomed too.

Other than that, it’s a basic headset that for the console with mono-output and the standard black spongy material to cover the speaker.

var It looks like it wont break as fast. Or atleast I hope it wont.


Should hope so. I broke so many regular Xbox mics. Hopefully these are more reliable

ooh So, to sum it up, they're still going to be trash, just dressed up?
They look terrible.


I rather like the design personally.. It looks much more sleek and durable then the Xbox 360 version

I'm really hoping that the Xbox One headset will be durable, i have went through around 6 Xbox 360 headsets in my time

Doesn't look cheap like the 360 one.

HxD As Favism said im gonna use Turtle Beeches


I'm hoping they make an adapter for Astro's. I don't want to have to go out and buy a new pair of headsets. I know it's coming with the default mic, but I don't know how this mic is going to play out and I would just rather have my Astro's anyways.

Ranzee It should come with the fluff on the end of the mic, i love that shiz.

JK, looks a pretty good headset, would have to try it to judge anything though.


xD I always used to lose that somehow. I don't even think that piece even mattered but was just there for show.

Although it does look nice, I think I'll stick to my Turtle Beaches. I may use it as a back up if my Turtle Beaches break though.
