Cooliest Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Testing Testing..... Is This Thing On Xbox One is going to come with a brand new headset that is supposed to be much higher quality, as we would hope. But is this new headset all it is cracked up to be? It looks much more sleek and comfortable than the old 360 model, and it has a wider base of support and all the controls right up near the controller rather than dangling on the cord. But looks aren't everything, we also want the sound quality to be increased. To show off the new and improved sound quality Major Nelson did a sound check. https://soundcloud.com/xbox/xbox360-current-headsetoutput https://soundcloud.com/xbox/xboxone-headsetoutput Microsoft also stated in a recent interview that the sound quality will be integrated with Skype. "Thanks to integration with Skype's audio codec, which has a proven track record of high-quality voice through billions of hours of use within Skype, as well as dedicated audio processing, Xbox One offers higher quality voice chat with the Xbox One Chat Headset compared to Xbox 360," said Microsoft. "The Xbox One Wireless Controller's new expansion port dramatically expands the data transfer rate between the controller and console," it adds. "Combined with Skype's audio codec, this enables crystal-clear digital audio with the Xbox One Chat Headset, both capturing and rendering speech at 24 KHz PCM, which is triple the rendering sample rate and a 50 percent capture rate improvement over Xbox 360 headsets."

Church Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Damn. That's a large difference. The ergonomics if the new headset look much better, and the audio quality seems much much better. Great find and post Gwam! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Of Harts Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 My main problem with the 360 headset is that it's so uncomfortable. It's cheap, barely fits on your head and keeps falling off (at least it does when I use it) so hopefully this one will be more comfortable.
