Microsoft has today announced the global release of an official Xbox One stereo headset in early March.

The full range (20Hz ‘ 20kHz) game and chat audio headset will feature over-the-ear speakers, a unidirectional microphone, and a detachable adapter for access to audio controls.

For Xbox One users that already own a third-party headset or headphones, the adapter will also be released individually in March. This will just enable chat audio; in this case, game audio will require direct connection with your Xbox One via an optical cable or TV via RCA cables.

The Xbox One stereo headset will cost £59.99 and the adapter will be available for £19.99.
