But that is not all. The Xbox One gets a redesigned controller and a 3.5mm headphone jack that will allow gamers to connect their game headsets to the controller. Gamers will also have the option -- via the settings menu -- to adjust headset volume, mic monitoring and voice and game audio balance. The quality of the audio has been improved and it can be loud, according to Microsoft.

The redesigned controller can be purchased as standalone item and it comes in black and in new camouflage design in silver and black, Microsoft said.

Also both new and existing controller will work with the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. With the Xbox Wireless Adapter you can connect your controller to get the same Xbox One experience.
