Xbox One: Microsoft looking into bundled headsets, third-party adapter confirmed

Xbox One consoles may come bundled with a headset at some point down the line, following confirmation from a Microsoft exec that the possibility is being looked into.

ORIGINAL STORY: It follows a lot of illy buggers around whether or not the console would come with a packaged headset as standard. We now know that it won't and the company's rationale is that Kinect can be used as a microphone.

So my question to you is, should headsets be bundled regardless or not? Tell us what you think below.

Thanks OXM.
