    no surround sound headset for xbox 1 yet!


    well, i wish to post this for a long time now.

    In case you wish to enjoy true 7.1 surround sound from a headset plugged into the x1 console, i am sad to say that xbox one doesn't support them yet. The reason is purely technical. It is not a complaint or frustration comment, but out of care & love for
    xbox one that i say this :

    Most if not ALL of them 7.1 TRUE (not VIRTUAL) surround sound pc headsets across the market provide the multi-channel sound through a 7.1 amplifier that plugs into a usb port of your pc.

    Unfortunately, so far the xbox one console does not offer that kind of a powered USB connection for audio output making it impossible for 7.1 headset owners to be able to use them with the x1. The only way to get surround from the console is through the
    HDMI & the toslink connected to a TV or a stereo deck amplifier. So, here 's my case :

    i tried to use a toslink / usb audio adapter to connect the turtle beach z60 7.1 amplifier without which the headset doen;t provide 7.1 surround sound. But i found out that the toslink output of the console does not send by default any power to the usb amplifier
    of the z60 headset and i can't have multichannel sound. Only if i plug the headset right at the back of the x1 controller with the 3.5mm jack, only then i get stereo, yet not surround sound unfortunately.

    this stands for all 7.1 surr. sound headsets across the market sad to say..

    i hope in the future microsoft considers to add a usb port at the console's back apnel just for this reason, to be able to connect this kind of amazing headsets..

    any comments & suggestions are welcomed..

    :)

    I wouldn't buy anything yet. I'd wait for the Xbox One to support Dolby Digital 5.1. Until that happens you have no surround sound support unless you can find a headset that accepts DTS Digital Surround (good luck).

    surround sound headsets?

    O think no the reason why their are no official surround sound headsets is because the spdif currently doesn't support surround sound, only stereo. Be a bit of a waste (and a possible legal nightmare) to release surround sound headsets, if the Xbox One
    can currently in not do stereo.

    How do headsets work on the xb1?

    You still need to purchase a headset that has surround sound available on it. The Xbox is not able to make a stereo headset give surround sound. Hope this helps!

    Scariest/jumpiest game on 360?

    Dead Space 1+2 with a surround sound headset are pretty jumpy. Condemned 1 is also decent

    Xbox One "'STEREO' Headset Adapter" clarity? Stereo or Simulated Surround Sound.

    IRB, I'm really not trying to offend anyone here, but if my question was that simple then why would I use somewhere near 300 words to ask it? Therefore, there's more underlying my question than a textbook definition as things are never simple.

    The word "stereo" applies to the majority of gaming headsets, but all of those headsets are capable of producing simulated surround sound due to the way they receive the translated signals from the Xbox. (Surround Sound Processors/ RF Transmitters. broken
    record here    .)

    For Example,

    Turtle Beach was convinced that their XO Seven headset would provide Surround Sound. Before they were forced to change it their website said of the XO Seven, “Be surrounded. Cinematic Surround Sound for your
    games and entertainment.”     The XO Seven is a Stereo Headset capable of producing simulated surround sound. But never once, even now, does Turtle Beach describe this headset with the word "stereo." This is because the word "stereo" can be misleading,
    and would not sell. Yet, Microsoft uses the word "stereo" to describe the piece of hardware that the TB XO Seven is supposed to be paired with. The result is confusion because those two never reconcile.

    Surround Sound TB XO Seven + Stereo Headset Adapter = ?

    There's not a lot of clarity with that is there?

    Why aren't any xbox one headsets surround sound?

    This headset was announced at E3 by Turtle Beach, they are wireless and surround sound 7.1 and they are for the Xbox one. This was on TB site in recent news forum no more info yet
