Turtle Beach announces Xbox One headset upgrade program

Turtle Beach, one of leading audio peripheral makers in the gaming industry, has announced a new program that will provide customers who purchase select current-gen headsets with a kit that makes the headset compatible with the Xbox One.

Consumers who purchase a Turtle Beach Ear Force XP SEVEN, X42, XP400, or XP510 between November 22, 2013 and January 30, 2014 will receive a kit that will be shipped free of charge between March 1, 2014 and June 30, 2014.

According to Turtle Beach, "The compatibility kit includes a Microsoft proprietary audio control unit that connects to the Xbox One controller via the controller’s expansion port. The unit makes volume, game-chat audio mix, and mute controls easy to access while playing. The control unit also passes audio through to the headset. The kit also includes a cable that connects the headset to the control unit for chat audio."
