    I went to best buy and bought mine just in case it didn't come in time and I will just return it when my Polk one comes. =)

    Will we get a email to allow us to know if they shipped it to us?

    Yeah, I just registered today (because my melee just now came in), and I'd like to know when to expect it :)

    Don't you also need a cable? or does it come with one?

    The Polk headset adapter will have a 48" cable included. You'll still need a 3.55mm 4-pole male-to-male audio cable if you purchase the MS adapter. The cable that comes packed in with the MS headset adapter converts 2.5mm to 3.5mm.

    It comes with the cable and is supposed to be shipping today or so according to Joe on their Facebook page.

    I mean, does the MS adapter come with a cable?

    If I went and bough one.. would I be able to use it with the melee, or would I be missing a cable?

    You would be missing the cable I bought one and was going to use it until polks came (same thing) but it doesn't have the cable so if you use the mobile cord it uses the inline mic.

    I know the polk adapter comes with the cable but I doubt the MS one does. Melee adapters are starting to ship out today so you might want to just wait.

    Why do people say Polk adapter and Microsoft adapter as if they are different? The stereo adapters that Polk is shipping to us is the exact SAME one you can buy at the store from Microsoft.

    True but polk will ship a extra cord for you to use instead of the inline mic one for tablets/phones

    Oh ok, that makes sense. I was wondering how I would connect my Melee to the stereo adapter. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    SOOOOO, who has recieved an email confirmation saying that their adapter has shipped?

    On the forums here, this thread
    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?158032-Xbox-One-Melee-Adapter-Latest-ETA/page2

    We are being told that an email will be sent when the adapter ships. I for one, have NOT received a shipped notice. Just curious as to who may have. Once someone can confirm that they actually received a shipped notice, then I might believe the hype.......until then, after being told by moderators here, phone customer service, and getting the below from [email protected] (the folks running the adapter promo), sounds like the info being given is contradicting.

    "We do not have an exact date as to when the adapter will be available. But your name is on the list to receive one.

    Thank You for contacting Polk!"


    ****UPDATE***** - so I just checked out the Facebook page for Polk, here are some comments from Polk and Joe the COO about ship status. Notice how no mention of email confirmation, BUT, they are saying receipt of adapter on Mon or Tues next week, at least out to CO, Im in AZ, so timing should be similar.

    Polk Audio "Alex Glose, you should receive the headset adapter from our Melee promotion on Monday or Tuesday

    Joe Tristani "Alex, Joe the COO here, it is shipping tonight from Cali, look for it to arrive in CO on Monday. Do you recall the reps name? email me [email protected]
    Like · 3 · 17 hours ago"


    Crossing fingers!

    Just a heads up, folks. I'm in Southern California and the package from Polk showed up on my doorstep on Saturday, March 8th @ 4:00 PM PST. The package included the MS headset adapter, 48" 3.5mm (4-pole) male-to-male audio cable, micro adapter USB cable (to update your controller), and a controller firmware instruction sheet.

    Got confirmation today that adapters are shipping in waves. First wave is out, second is due for delivery to Polk today and will ship tomorrow and so on.

    Email confirmations ARE going out, so if you havent gotten one yet, its highly likely that you are in a different shipping wave.

    Im in the second wave, so mine goes out tomorrow.

    So keep the faith folks, they are shipping and they are notifying via email when shipped to you.

    A thank you is def in order. This does reinforce my confidence in the brand and that Polk does take care of their customers when concerns arise.

    NOW, lets get that mic issue taken care of :-)

    CMON Microsoft!! get your ish together and get that patch out ASAP! :-p
