I don't think Microsoft is going to do that. But it feels more likely the PS5 might drop some of the silly PS4 proprietary b******s. Their February presentation and showing that they want Tempest to work with lots of audio solutions.

Sony are the kings of proprietary bull****, I wouldn't hold your breath
I think an optical out is a possibility...but only a possibility. I bet you need to buy the official headset if you want wireless though, just like on PS4. I'd really like to be able to just connect my existing Bluetooth headphones, but eh.
Cool to see the above factory photo. The guy on the left looks so proud!

Optical is an old standard but if you're into headphones is one of two ways how all these headphone DAC/AMPs work. Maybe Creative, Sennheiser, Schiit can build in HDMI passthrough or something but atm isn't an option.
I'm not too bothered about Wireless, but currently have headphones I prefer if I can use with everything (inc. the aforementioned AKG 702s which I adore). I did buy the PlayStation Platinum headset a few months ago and I'm struggling with it. The plastic cups and super thin earpads are really uncomfortable. I've ordered some £12 pads from eBay which I hope rectify the situation.
Shame we have open standards for displays. But not for audio on consoles.
