Wireless Headsets not REALLY Wireless??

Maybe someone can answer a question for me. I've been searching for a high-end surround sound wireless headset to no avail (Astro A50, Katana HD, etc.). The majority of them require a cable to plug into the controller for chatting (with some exceptions -
i.e. Turtle Beach's Elite 800x). The same headsets are 100% wireless for PS4 and PC, but what's the constant hurdle in creating a completely wireless headset for XB1? I don't get it.

Wireless Headset Yet Microsoft? Not really wireless.

Agreed. Did we take a step backwards when we bought the Xbox One? I love the system, but not having a simple wireless headset like the one on the Xbox 360 is really annoying. I hate this wire. I already broke my the one that came with the system and replaced
it with another stock headset. I DO NOT want a stereo headset as I have a nice sound system. Just make a wireless headset already. The system should have came with one to begin with.

 

Wireless Headset Yet Microsoft? Not really wireless.

This is a bit of a joke, The only reason i can come with is that Microsoft wants to actually annoy their customers. I almost regret buying the XBox One. I also hate the way the new interface works, and how much more difficult it is to set up party's (unless
i'm the idiot)

 

I actually sent an email to Tritton. They're coming out with their Katana HD 7.1 headset in March but the XB1 version will require a chat cable. I asked them why this is and their tech replied:

"The cable is required due to Microsoft's technology that is incorporated into the Xbox One. With the Xbox 360 we were given exclusive privilege to deign [sic] the only wireless 360 headset however this generation
that was not granted a second time around. This is an exclusive technology that Microsoft owns and has the ability to share."

Sucks.
