Microsoft: no third party Xbox One headsets until 2014
« on: November 06, 2013, 11:41:12 AM »
The Xbox One may come with its own beefed up audio accessories, but audiophiles waiting on Turtle Beach's XO Ear Force headsets will have to wait: Microsoft won't support them until 2014. According to a statement confirmed by Microsoft, the Xbox One Headset Adapter that enables the use of third party audio accessories will ship early next year, leaving early adopters to make due with the official pack-ins. Redmond says it'll use the spare time to help manufactures "create new headsets that will take full advantage of the Xbox One technology," also noting that the console's included headset is free, after all.

I havent seen any official wireless mic's for the XB1, which sucks because I saw somewhere that your 360 mics/controllers won't be compatible without some sort of adapter(another thing I havent seen). I give Matt less than a week to break the included wired headset for his XB1, January will be a long wait lol

Sweet, that gives us some time to mod controllers in the meantime to support current headsets.

I'm going to have to try and make the adapter. It seems pretty cool to do!
