Gamers can spot the difference in quality by simply listening

Microsoft says that the voice chat solution on the Xbox One will be vastly superior to that used on the 360 because of the new integrated Skype audio codec and the Chat Headset that will be included in the console’s package.

Microsoft says that the transfer speed between the headset, the microphone, and the device is much higher and that means it will be easier for players to hear their conversation partners even in the midst of playing a demanding game.

Audio files showing the quality of chat on both the Xbox One and the 360 are available through the official Soundcloud channel of the company.

The new Microsoft home console is expected to be launched in November and will cost 499 dollars or Euro.

Originally, a headset was not included in the package, but Microsoft made a change to its policy based on feedback from potential customers.
