  1. XB1 - headset options


    First - I like the fact that I can use the single earpiece headset for chat only, and game sounds that come out of the TV/Sound system. It makes picking out chat products easier for someone with hearing troubles.

    The problem, I hate wearing the cheap single ear piece that came with the XB1, and then again with the chatpad. It doesn't fit well, even on my large head (someone with a smaller head would have even more to complain about). As well, I keep breaking the
    wires for the headset near the end of the male plug, due to a bad habbit of resting it against my leg (or stomach) during game play (it protrudes beyond the ergonomic design when connected to the chatpad).

    I began looking for a wireless headset to replace it, in hopes of finding a smaller, phone like a Bluetooth phone headset that fits over a single ear, and seem to find nothing that would work. Is there anything that would effectively work for what I am
    looking for? Other than replacing the one ear piece with the same item, the only others seemingly available are over the ear stereo bulk that I would dislike wearing even more.

    Summary:

    I am hoping to find a wireless single ear piece with mic for use with XB1 chat system, that does not replace the ability to use the chatpad. Does anything like this even exist for XB1?

    :)

    Party chat through Headset

    Greetings.

    The annoying issue here is that when I plug in my XB1 Headset (to make use of the Mic, rather than using the Kinect) I no longer hear people in my party through my headset (Wireless). When I unplug the XB1 headset I get my party chat through my headphones.
    I do not really want to have to have this XB1 headset stuck to one ear with my proper headset on the other.

    Just wondering if anyone has come across a solution for this, and I cannot really solder wireless headphones to the XB1 headset, so that's not really an option. Would much prefer to just use the XB1 Headset Mic and my own Headset with party chat coming through
    my own headset (as if I was using the Kinect for the Mic)

    Cheers

    Xbox One Headphone Sound

    Have details been released about the XB1's audio-out headphone setup? It seems like with Wi-Fi direct and the new port, you could have the option to either:



    A) Pipe all sound from the XB1 straight to a wireless headset, or

    B) Pipe all sound from the XB1 through the controller to a wired headset.

    Is this just a dream, or is there reality to this?

    Upload Studio: Voiceover Button is greyed out

    Same problem here. I have the headset adapter, the Elite controller. I've also tried it with my stock controller that came with the XB1.

    The XB1 has been hard reset.

    The controller has been updated.

    The option is greyed out no matter what I try.

    Let's talk about Dolby Digital and DTS

    I use the optical out for my TB stereo headset via the TB DSS2 7.1 processor on the XB1.

    What settings should I use in the xb1 options? Am sure it disables audio altogether on one of them.

    Anybody using the DSS2?

    Sound seemed better on 360 with this setup.

    Xbox One Stereo Headset or Turtle Beach XO4 Headset

    @godslayer1975

    The PS4 Gold headphones work with the XB1 as well.

    You just need the XB1 headset adapter and the cable going from the headset to the adapter. Works pretty well.

    Optical out patch coming soon ?

    Feb 1st I think the patch is coming since that is when Xb1 headsets are due for release. I will be buying a new turtle beach headset made for Xb1 myself.
