Xbox One won't bundle a headset in the box , but Microsoft is seeking a way to let Xbox 360 headsets work with the new console's controller. The sometimes-reliable Xbox Support stated on Twitter this week that the company was looking into an adapter that enable cross-generational functionality, which Microsoft has confirmed to IGN.

"Xbox 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," an Xbox representative told IGN. “The Wireless Controller has been redesigned to allow for higher data transfer speed between the controller and the console. 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."Indeed, it seems your Xbox 360 headset will be compatible with Xbox One after all. It remains to be seen if the solution will come in the box in place of a headset, or be sold separately.
