A few facts

The goal of this guide is to make compatible almost any Xbox 360 headset (Combination of headphones and microphone) with the new Xbox One.

At the moment of writing these lines, there are no official adapters (Not from Microsoft nor from Third-parties) to get Xbox 360 headsets running on Xbox One (At least the mic part). There are either no specific headsets for the Xbox One despite the 'crappy' one that comes with some special editions of the Xbox One.

The majority of the actual Xbox 360 headsets work on Xbox One (headphones part) but their mics doesn't.

Microsoft is yet to release an update to get Dolby Digital sound trough Xbox One optical port, so, headsets thats depend on that port will only work in Stereo or DTS.

This guide uses Tritton AX 720 as example head to get it working on Xbox One. This headset is compatible with Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and is capable of simulate 7.1 Dolby Digital surround sound.
