Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One: Microsoft looking into bundled headsets, third-party adapter confirmed

Figgycal on 30 July 2013

There's not much to argue with this. In one scenario you get free headphones and in the other you don't get anything. Even if you choose to buy the headset for 25 bucks, you can use your old ps3 headphones or buy any Bluetooth headset- which will cost less than 25 bucks anyway. And 25 bucks.... can you say overpriced?

I'm just wondering whether or not it's possible to add that to the package at this point. I'm sure he wouldn't respond if it was too late to add the headset.

Itll come sooner or later. MS seems to be listening to gamers more then ever.

One thing is foresure, this $25 headset is way better built then the $2 earbuds the other guys are getting :P

The 2$ earbuds come with the purchase of a console. :p

So essentially, your "settling"



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Reported for being a liar. Lol but seriously have you all used the Kinect? It works and no you don't have to yell. I'm hearing they improved the mics also. Not saying that I want to use it and hopefully my Turtle Beaches work.

question: is there a mic on the PS4 earbuds?

I would assume so. Theres something right under the earbud itself that looks like one

It seems like a sensible move, especially as Sony are copying their approach from the 360, I can't imagine the 360 style headset costs any more than a few $, but they have probably already started packaging the consoles without them

Copying? That doesn't make sense. That's like saying Microsoft copied Sony by adding a Blu-ray drive, or giving free games to 360 gamers. No one copied anyone.

Is that a serious question? yes it has a mic.  It’s located a few inches down from the ear bud. I'd be willing to bet that that "2 dollar" ear bud will last longer than the 25 dollar head set. That also cost 2 dollars. I can't fathom why you would think MS would make a better quality anything over Sony. Good hardware has never been there thing. Doubt it ever will be.

They are copying the approach of including a microphone in the box as this is reasonably frequently cited as an advantage for Xbox Live
