Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox One headset revealed

HDMI cables are cheap.  If you want a reliable cable no need to buy anything expensive, just g et one from a Chinese seller for a couple of dollars and they'll work just as good as one you'll purchase in a store. The HDMI cables I have have been hooked up for years with no issue.

Eh, I ditched the standard 360 headset after I broke like 3 of them. For people that bought the plug n play for the 360 did you notice any long term problems? Mine barely holds up an hour now..

Yeah the battery was completely dead after 3 years. I use normal AA recharcheables now. I always have a bunch stuck in the charger for Wii motes, balance board, 360 controllers, camera's, kids toys. I use my laptop to charge ps3 controllers, those batteries still charge fine.


From what I've heard the new play and charge is much better than the 360 one. It was completely redesigned with a shorter charge time and a much longer playtime before needing to charge. I heard 30+ hours of play time between charges.

My bad. I checked this page : http://www.siliconera.com/2013/06/10/xbox-one-launch-details-and-premium-day-one-bundle-announced/



I'd say I would prefer MS headset design over PS4s.

However, MS usage of AA batteries or buy another accessory by far destroys any advantage the headset gives them. I can't believe they didn't include built-in batteries... hell even Nintendo did that.

 

Also, Nintendo's approach is best... use any damn headset you want.

Ooooh Ahhhhh! This is better than fireworks. I'm definitely getting 'The One' now. I was right on the fence there.

Absolutely. Using and building a headset is no magic or rocket-science.
