Microsoft will charge you $24.99 to use your own headset with Xbox One
The adapter has its own volume controls and will allow users to adjust the levels of both chat and game audio, but the adapter does not allow for output of game audio to any headsets themselves--your favourite Astro/Turtle Beach/Tritton/etc headset will still need to be plugged into the Xbox One, TV, or receiver to get game audio. Both 3.5mm and 2.5mm jacks are supported.
The headset adapter will be available to purchase worldwide in March...
"Plug your compatible headset into the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to chat with your fellow players, and enjoy the convenient volume controls right on the adapter," said Microsoft spokesperson Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb on his blog.
Additionally, Microsoft will also release its own stereo headset in March that comes with an adapter included. This will retail for $79.99/£59.99

It's the fact that Microsoft is slapping an extra payment on top of everything, not necessarily the $25 itself.

EthicsTankAurora This is why i`m switching to PC after the Titian Fall beta.
that is the best thing you can ever do! pc is soo much better.
Tell me about it. Look at steam, weekly sales, free service, free party chat, free weekly betas, supports games bought on other service such as origin, and they would NEVER imply an adapter like this, all headsets are supported
