Real Talk: The 3 threads about this need to be combined or 2 need to be locked lol.
My local GameStop said they would. So: probably.
I hope so. I'd rather drive there and get it than wait on Amazon.

Adapter came in today. Used it with my Astros. Now they work exactly like they did before. Perfect.
edit: the v-moda site says the boom mic will work w/ the xbone stereo adapter.
Sorry about bothering you guys about this again, but since this adapter is finally out in the wild, will the [V-Moda boom mic] work with this adapter?
All I want to do is use my amped Sennhesiers to chat.
Tried searching, yet still found nothing.
Appreciate it.
My setup:
Xbox One (Optical Out) => DAC (Optical In, RCA Out) => Reciever (RCA In)

Doesn't you receiver have HDMI?
No. Unfortunately, I'm into all the old vintage solid state amps from the 70's (Marantz, pioneer, etc. )
Dub post, but I thought this might a few help people out who are at a complete loss as to how this adapter thing works. I believe there are other possible methods of using this (by plugging into the back of the console for Legacy gaming headsets), but this is the way I use it since I'm satisfied with normal stereo sound.
Setup/steps:
• Normal stereo headphones plugged into an old amp via the headphone jack.
• New Xbone stereo adapter plugged into the controller.
• PS4 earbud plugged into the adapter.
• Update actual controller via Xbone dashboard w/ included micro USB cable.
• Done.
Haven't tested it for very long, but a friend said the quality is pretty much the same as the stock Xbone headset, maybe slightly worse.
At first I had both game audio and chat coming from the little mono PS4 earbud, which I obviously didn't want. But after messing with the buttons on the adapter I managed to have only chat coming out of the earbud and game audio from the headphones.
Hope this helps.
I swear either the headset adapter (or the firmware upgrade to use it) screwed up my controller something awful.
Multiple times its simply stopped working -- the xbox acts like I've disconnected the controller, but the controller light remains lit, and I have to actually remove the batteries to "reboot" it.
Not really looking forward to being without one for a couple weeks while it makes its way to and from MS -- would be nice if they let people do the same as consoles and get the replacement before sending in the broken part. :/

I have no real need for a headset (since one comes included), but are you able to use the headset adapter to listen to game audio? I've been playing Rayman Legends late at night and it's probably be better if I could play in bed with my TV's audio off. It's one of the features I really miss from my short experience with the PS4.
Or is the headset adapter merely for multiplayer?

It's all audio, apps included.
Awesome. I'll be picking up one soon then.
I wish MS gave users a way to test their mic at the OS level. I currently have no idea how I sound to others when I talk. I am trying to choose between using Kinect or a cellphone mic for party chat. I have no way, except to run tests with my friends, to find out which is better.
Just give us a quick local test at the OS level MS. Please and Thank you.

Yeah there's definitely cracking and pops in the overall output of sound now via the adapter. I could hear it with my Turtle Beach headset, PS Vita Earbuds and the new official Xbox One headphones as of tonight.
Didn't they say they were aware of this? I can't find mention of it now.
I think Astro said they are releasing a firmware update for the A50 soon that will address this issue.

So lucky that it appears my a40's are working great with the adaptor.
Was worried it wouldn't work after reading the support forums. Now I just need to find a decent balance between game audio and chat audio.
I went through this process to get it working.
1) plugged my Titanfall controller in and updated the firmware.
2) power cycled console to get rid of any crackling
3) turned on the console with the pad still connected and the chat adaptor connected, this prompted another controller update.
After this I joined a party and they could hear me fine.
My one is connected to a mixamp via optical out.

digging up an old thread, but just got the stereo headphone set. the audio is pretty good and clear but just don't find them comfortable on the top of my head.
is there a consensus on a good pair of IEM or earbuds, keeping in mind having a mic isn't a must have, mainly want decent audio without breaking the bank. apple earpods are ok, but find they lack bass.

Cheapest pair of in-ear Sennheisers will be a HUGE improvement over any apple earbuds.
You can get them mic'd as well.

Sennheiser CX 300 II seem to be pretty popular

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
I bought the adapter, and looks like it doesn't work anymore. Every time I plug in, the orange light on mute starts flashing. It suddenly happened. Not sure what caused it since I barely use it. You guys think they have accessory warranty? If I go to MS store they might do something about it?
Yes. Great all-purpose earbuds.
When did you buy it? Might as well call them and ask.

Does anyone know if the Tritton+ 5.1 works with the Xbox One Elite Controller and most importantly with chat?
