Xbox One Gift Guide: Best Accessories

2015-12-15
the time for gift-giving is just around the corner and if you're still scrambling to find the perfect gift for the gamer in your family that already has every game they could want I've got a list some of the best accessories you can give them this time around focused on Xbox one to begin with one of the biggest accessories to come out this year from Microsoft directly is of course the elite controller offering all kinds of upgrades and customizable bits the problem though is that there are a lot of people searching for these right now and they are going out of stock just as quickly as they show up plus it's not exactly the most affordable gift you can grab someone so if you want to do something a little different there are plenty of ways to upgrade a regular Xbox one controller and one of the most unique options is this the scuff FPS adjustable trigger and pro grip combo with just a little work this kit lets you upgrade your Xbox one controller with a better slightly softer and less slippery grip as well as giving you the ability to modify your controller to switch between full and half stop triggers which is one of the handier functions that the elite controller offers now these do come in five different colors black white blue red and green so for the competitive gamer and your family this gives them a few different ways to add a little style to the controller as well as upgrade its performance now not all gaming accessories need to be super flashy there are a lot of really functional useful bits that any gamer can appreciate having and one of the biggest ones for the Xbox one is a rechargeable battery pack honestly this is one of the things that bothered me the most with the Xbox one at launch needing to rely on buying batteries so with this nice little addition you can upgrade your regular orly Xbox one controller to be rechargeable never needing replacing but instead just plugging it into your system whenever need be these are also available in a combo pack with an Xbox one controller so if you know someone that needs a new controller as well that's a great way to kill two birds with one stone now another functional and great Buy is the Xbox one media remote one of the biggest strengths of the Xbox one is that it's not just a gaming platform but also an all in one media device and we all know that guy or girl that spends more time watching Netflix and Hulu rather than playing games and while you can use your controller it's not always the most intuitive or comfortable option and not everyone wants to wave and yell there connect like a jackass especially if they're trying to watch with some company and that's where this remote comes in it's not just great for what it adds it's also just a well-made remote Packt sturdy simple and comfy to use with backlit buttons now if you see when you're pressing during late-night TV series binge sessions now the next item is something that I don't think occurs to a lot of people and honestly it's a little situational whether or not you need it but if you do this is an absolute lifesaver and that's a carrying case for your system in particular the CTA Xbox one carrying case if you know a gamer who is in a situation where they need to or like to carry their system around back and forth this is an absolute must-have sure you can just throw your system in any bag but that's just going to cause wear and tear over time with scratches and dents whereas with this carrying case you're going to have a nice snug and safe place to store your console along with all of its cables accessories and games and I love the fact that it has a completely removable pouch for the Kinect giving a little extra room to use for those of us that have completely ditched using it now there are better carrying cases out there if you want something heavy-duty that's going to protect your system from an avalanche or rockslide but for most people this is all you're going to need at a much more affordable price now last but not least no gaming accessories list would be complete without of course a headset and the one I'm going with is the turtlebeach XO for stealth now if the gamer in your family is also an audiophile keep in mind that there are way better sounding headset options out there but you're gonna throw down a few hundred bucks for them whereas for its price point the stealth is a great choice while not truly Wireless functionally it pretty much is by plugging into your xbox one controller through this little adapter not requiring some crazy long USB plug gear system and it offers a few bonus features over the baseline model most importantly a bass boost so sound effects like gunshots and explosions come through nice and cleanly it's also worth noting that Microsoft does sell their own version of the audio adapter separately so if someone you know already has an awesome headset that uses a single aux cable you can just grab them one of these so they can use what they already have with their Xbox one so here's just a few gift ideas for the Xbox one owner you know or maybe a few things good blow gift cards on in the next couple weeks all the products that I've
