Microsoft is touting the voice quality and headset of the upcoming Xbox One, and by doing so have compared it to the previous iteration, the Xbox 360.
The Xbox One features new voice audio codecs that allow for higher sound quality and clearer voice chat.
“Thanks to integration with Skype’s audio codec, which has a proven track record of high-quality voice through billions of hours of use within Skype, as well as dedicated audio processing, Xbox One offers higher quality voice chat with the Xbox One Chat Headset compared to Xbox 360,” said Microsoft.
“The Xbox One Wireless Controller’s new expansion port dramatically expands the data transfer rate between the controller and console,” it adds.
“Combined with Skype’s audio codec, this enables crystal-clear digital audio with the Xbox One Chat Headset, both capturing and rendering speech at 24 KHz PCM, which is triple the rendering sample rate and a 50 percent capture rate improvement over Xbox 360 headsets.”
