    Angry Xbox One , No headset !?

    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/pre-order-xbox-one

    No headset in the box for Xbox One Console - Day One Edition ! Xbox 360 headsets will not work with Xbox One. Why would Microsoft do something so foolish like this ? They could have put a cheap one in the box to get you started..

    I guessing you can use a Bluetooth headset for live game play. It does have Bluetooth 2.1. At this point who knows! LOL

    what about those of us that use our Turtle beach headsets? That mean there will be a way to adapt those or have to purchase yet something new for the Xbox One?!?!?!?

    IMHO the Turtle Beach headsets use the optical cable. If the Xbox ONE has an Optical out, it will still work the same. The main unit for the headphones decodes the dolby signal just like a home receiver. However the bluetooth or wired sets might have mic connectivity issues unless you can pair the bluetooth ones with the console itself.

    I know it does. I am just fortifying the fact that if it does have an optical out (which the picture shows) then the head unit on the headset will decode the Dolby like a Home theater system and still work.

    Not trying to bust on the no headset deal im trying to make a positive note about how they say the current headsets wont work. IMHO the cable headsets wont work and thats most likely what they are referring too.

    The problem is that while the Xbox One has optical out, the microphone part of the Turtle Beach headsets won't work without some sort of adapter. Hopefully, Turtle Beach or some kind third-party manufacturer will come out with an inexpensive adapter that will allow the current headsets to work, because I AM NOT buying another expensive headset for the Xbox One...I already own two TB headsets and have no plans purchase a third.

    I guess Microsoft is hoping that with the mandatory Kinect in every box, there won't be a need for headsets...we can just shout at the TV over the noise of the game we're playing.

    This website says you can't use your old Xbox 360 headsets with Xbox One. The hook up in the back is different. http:// http://m.cinemablend.com/gam...led-56977.html

    Optical out is optical out. I dont think they are making proprietary optical cables for the xbox one.

    The headsets will work 100% but the mic's wont. However the BLUETOOTH MIC on turtlebeach headsets might work depending on how the XboX One detects Bluetooth devices.
    (Headsets I mean as in the XP500 or similar, as in the ones with optical hookup to the back of the console to the headset base unit)

    The headset is USB by the looks of it. Thats also the hookup for the controller. not the back of the console.

    I just found this information on http://www.turtlebeach.com/ that might clear up what might be needed or necessary if you have one of their headsets and want
    to use it with your X1 console. Enjoy

    You are wrong it won't work ! Microsoft are now working on a adapter to let them work on the Xbox One. http://www.gamingtarget.com/article.php?artid=13235 They fold every second now. They should have just did all this in the first place with no adapter needed. . It should be called Xbox 180 now.

    I am referring to the Headsets with OPTICAL CABLE HOOKUP. They will still run 5.1 or 7.1 audio.. However the bluetooth mics or wired mics wont work.

    Am I missing the point here?

    Remember the base units are hooked up via Optical Audio Cable.

    These BASE UNITS decode the sound the same way a Home Theater does. So how would it not work for audio?

    You're not missing the point, but I think people are wondering how they'll communicate to others on XBL without a headset and maybe overlooked the part where you said the mic won't work.

    Anyway, no mic? No problem - that's what the Kinect is for... although I really wished they had included a headset anyway. They probably felt like it undermines part of the Kinect's purpose, but there are times when I don't want to be talking/yelling at my TV to be heard by my friends.
