Can Xbox One party/chat audio come through speakers instead of headset?

Recently picked up an Xbox One. I have it hooked up to the same monitor I use for PC gaming, and also the same pair of headphones.

The problem is that I want to use my headphones for all Xbox One audio, but I still also want to use the headset mic for chatting. Ideally I would just have the headset hanging around my neck so I can use the mic.

However, does the Xbone have a setting to make the chat audio come through speakers, even when the headset is plugged in? I've tried researching this and it looks like the 360 had that feature, but when the Xbone came out, it sadly couldn't do it. Have they added this ability sometime recently? Or am I out of luck?
