I have the polk melee headset was supposed to get free upgrade to xbox one but didn't so i ...

The Polk Audio Melee looks to be the best bet for those who want a 360 and X1 setup. When you get your melee headset, if you register them with Polk they will send you the X1 adapter when they release them. It also processes dolby digital and it's not
stereo. The price appears to be out of whack at Amazon so shop around, but take a look at the info on Amazon's site. http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Melee-Headphone-Black-Xbox/dp/B00E1L7836/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_2

Azrael, the solution you provide is a lackluster solution. I stated the reason why above but so you don't have to go all the way to the top and read it again, I will re explain the issue.

.

The xbox one does not have the same feature that the xbox 360 has, which is the chat through speaker and headset. So, I have a polk audio Melee headset but it is connected to my xbox one with an Optical audio and a USB cable. this powers the headset and
gives it audio from the game and chat. The xbox one looks at the optical out as speakers as most will use this port for running a sound system or something along those lines.

.

Now when you connect the xbox provided headset, it takes the chat from your team mates that used to go through the speakers and runs it through the headset, being the xbox one provided headset. What this means is the headset I am wearing to hear the game,
the Polk Audio Melee that the xbox one registers as speakers, no longer gets game chat.

.

If xbox one had the play through speakers and headset option, there would be no issue, but they don't so I can either put the xbox one headset on and not hear the game, or put the one headset around my neck, and let my teammates hear me but me not hear them.

.

So your solution did not actually work.

hi KillerAC71 the best headset that is universal is the POLK melee you can buy it and it has a 360 port which is its primary use then there is a diffrent cable add on for ps4 pc mobile and xbox one use here is the headphones website

[quote user="COD 2 HALO"]That TB free adapter offer is straight baloney.[/quote]Why? Polk is doing something similar for their Melee headset.

What about anyone who purchased with in the last two or three years

You got two or three years of good
use out of the headsets you bought so why complain?

I guess you didn't realise I was suggesting he use the in-box headset on his head instead of hooking it round his neck to use the mic while he uses the other headset.

So your suggestion is to wear his Xbox One headset at the same time as wearing his Polk headset? Or to just remove the Polk headset from the equation altogether?

Because either will not work for him, as he has already quite clearly stated.

Azrael, the solution you provide is a lackluster solution.

Here, I will break things down for you.

I have to play with a headset for sound as I have an 8 month old in the house and loud game sounds are unacceptable. So I use my headset, which happens to be a Polk Audio Melee.

Using speakers is not an option he wants to pursue for in-game audio. This is quite clearly stated here.

That said, Kinect does not work for in game chat with COD ghosts. I know it works for some other games, but even if I default set kinect to be the mic, it does not recognize it.

He cannot use Kinect for voice chat while using his headset because, due to some fault, it does not work for him.

If I plug the official mic for xbox one in, the sound from others talking is transferred to that headset and I can't hear the team anymore, so leaving the mic around my neck to talk is a no go.

Plugging in his Xbox One mic cuts of chat from his Polk headset. Meaning he would need a cup on one ear from the Polk headset for in-game audio, and a cup on the other ear for in-game chat from the Xbox One mic. I don't think it needs explaining why this isn't
going to work for him.

Thanks for your tireless efforts in trying to protect the internet.

You're very much welcome.
