The Xbox Onesie

Does anyone know if there is an adapter for usb headsets? Ive got a nice surround set for my PC, and don't want to have to buy another


Just exchanged my old astro A50 because there were still under warrenty for the new A50 made for Xbox One. No more chat adapter they are awesome!! They took the old A50 and improved them in every way. The sound is amazing and my friends say my voice is nice and crisp!! There the best I have ever used I would recommend them to anyone that wants top the best sound at 7.1 and wireless. Best of all I got them for free!! I got the white ones they have them at best buy right now!!

Wow, Those look awesome! If I suggest to my wife that I want to spend $300.00 on a headset... well...

I hear you!! there expensive but for me its more then worth it!! My family sleeps I play with no sound and everyone is happy!! But they are amazing and true wireless headset for Xbox One without that Chat Adapter Garbage.
 
The Xbox One Stereo Headset is great.

Amazon product


My son bought me a pair of these for Father's Day and I didn't think they would be that great but I am very happy with them. I love that they just run off the controller charge and you can adjust game vs. chat volumes. Awesome for late night gaming although they block out noise so well that you won't be able to hear your SO screaming for a glass of water...or so I've heard. :oops:
 
I use the adapter with my 360 Astro A50s. Very expensive but great.

I was leery of letting the sound come through the controller wirelessly. I'd think you would lose some quality that way. Not having wires from the set to the console would be great though.
 
@shinobi602: Hmm, Microsoft's going in hard next holiday season. Known things and some unknown things...

Again the XO 4 is the best headset that was made for this control.

Yes there is the official one but turtle beach quolty is better and also is $99.
 
I'm OD'ing on crazy rumors right now! 2 separate sources:

1. Ok guys I have been very busy with work lately but I did manage to have a few drinks with my friend. "University of Illinois campus ain't no joke!"

Here goes:
Saints row remaster was definitely a forward compatability game that got bumped to remaster status because funding is needed for a next generation reboot of a very old classic game that dives deep.

Sdk 11.3 has arrived and it's very easy almost brain dead for developers to optimize games for x1 and it allows esram to do more than frame buffer.
11.3 is bringing real time available system bandwidth to around 200-218.

GTA V is going to be 900p due to Rockstar not taking advantage of 11.3 features and the reason is they don't have time plus make launch on time.

Red dead is coming along fine and will make its appearance at e3. What's not known is which stage. Definitely some cloud features in it.

Street fighter 5 will be shown at comicon next year and will be 1080p 60fps on both.
I'm told we will have a next gen remaster of alpha 3 before it drops.

Next generation ghouls and ghost is coming to Xbox live and psn next summer. Not triple A but will be 2d and beautiful.

There is apparently some secret dlc coming to fh2 next spring. Back to the good ole USA. :)

Microsoft is going to talk esram very soon but will not go into the hardware very deep for the reason I'm about to reveal.

You want to know why Microsoft doesn't reveal Xbox hardware, well here's the number one reason.
Microsoft knows Sony slapped together a off the shelf mid to high end pc in the ps4 because Sony knows developers are still using old engines for games atleast the next few years. Sony is deep in planning stages of ps5 and they are waiting to find out what makes x1 special so they can build a better machine. Microsoft knows unless they reveal what's really going on inside the Xbox nobody can figure it out especially sonys college prep engineers.
The longer Microsoft can delay any major revelations the tighter the noose becomes around sonys financial neck.

All the stuff that we've been saying is going to happen, it's just not going to announced in any formal way. The games will do the talking and the media and everyone will keep scratching their heads in disbelief. When you watch leaked QB footage you see graphics that are two times ryse and if you look close you'll notice a little something traced with lighting.

Last but not least, killer instinct isn't the last game to get the patch treatment....
Stay tuned :)

Getting close...

2. From Milkcarton's guy:

I want to jump on some quick topics and fill you in on some things.This is a quick update and I will be back with another in a couple of weeks.


Sony or Microsoft didn't pay for parity on Assassin Creed Unity.Each system came up short for 1080p on its on.The Sony PS4 didn't hit 1080 because of the CPU couldn't maintain the fps at a stable rate at all,Sony did ask if Ubisoft would drop some of the NPC's on screen to hit it.Ubisoft said no and that's where the parity statement was based off of.

Microsoft's Xbox One couldn't hit 1080p because the new engine had trouble maintain the split ram pool and render at a stable 1080p.No secert Agendas are in play here.

Rare is working on 2 games and Battletoads.

Shenmue has been put on hold because the opening talks where with a high price estimate.Also Sony is trying to jump in and drive up the price.Sony wants Shenmue also,but the asking price is to high for both.

I will be back before the end of the month later Xbox Gamers!

GTA 5 900p i can see that happening, all else....man i don't know. I would not mind 900p that much for GTA 5 anyway, look at Ryse, Mordor and Metro. :)

It's almost show time for Microsoft. The Xbox One is about to take the industry by storm. Sunset Overdrive and Halo: The Master Chief Collection are going to be amazing.

Third parties may still be in hit and miss mode with dev issues, but Forza Horizon 2 is a good example/benchmark of what X1 can do. Great game in an open world setting too. So it's not like it's a great game crammed into a linear corridor game. And the system isn't even a year old yet.

Not to mention Forza Horizon 2 is rendering 1080p with 4x msaa without a single frame drop and open world too with real weather cycles. That in itself is very impressive.

I have a PS4, but boy am I glad I have an X1. I havent turned on my PS4 in weeks. Still waiting for Driveclub PS+ version. In the meantime I am enjoying FH2, KI3 season 2, and looking forward to sunset OD and of course the masterpiece that will be Halo Masterchief collection. X1 is unstoppable this holiday season.

It's insane what FH2 is doing. Aside from 60 fps, it is playing out with just about everything cranked out:

- 1080p
- 30 fps
- 4x msaa
- great lighting
- open world
- drivatar AI
- can handle custom paint jobs
- tuning
- cosmetic and mechanical damage
- big time physics at that absurd 360 times per second or something. Overkill to me, but hey, do it if it can
 
"Today, Rare Studios posted a couple of new job listing on their official website which gave us a peek into what exactly to expect from their upcoming Xbox One exclusive. Almost all job listing carried a same message: "If you'd like to be part of a pioneering team dedicated to the next jaw-dropping, never-been-done-before Rare Game, why not come and join us"

Now make out whatever you can from this message, but Rare seems to have been gear up for their next Xbox One exclusive title and working full time dedicately to achieve their aim.

With this upcoming Xbox One exclusive title, i expect Rare to return to form as it has provided me with some greatest games of my childhood: "Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and more"

Microsoft bought Rare studios way back in 2002 for a sum of $375 million dollars, and ever since then the studio has achieved mixed success and for the past few years the studio has primarily focused on Kinect Sports games.

So i am expecting them to turn the table this time around and live up to the tag "Jaw Dropping"."

Kinect dental patient simulator am confirmed, lol dat xbone.

:banana:

It'll be interesting to see what this is. Would be nice to see Rare put on the job.
 
RARE are a husk of what we all remember......with the Stampers long gone the studio has been led by the corporate big wigs and not by visionary pioneers..........that said though, I would be up for a kick ass Perfect Dark next gen toure de force :bang:

I see that Tim Stamper and his son are back in the games industry with FortuneFish ltd.......Stamper back in the gaming industry is only a good thing!

+ Xbox Live 'cloud' opponents, once you have raced against your friends drivatars it's no fun anymore to drive against cheap AI opponents
