Xbox Wireless Headset – Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows Devices

I finally bought this headset after looking for so many brands, reading countless reviews... and the only thing i can say is: WOW! (in the sound department). Sound: Without EQing your phone, laptop or console sounds very very good, when you EQ it sounds even better but when Dolby Atmos gets in the way... prepare to be mindblown! I did not know that a wireless headset could sound that good! VERY well-balanced between the mid-lo and lo frequencies! But i have to admit: i was watching the walking dead and i was so immersed on the show that when my cousin touched my shoulder to pay her attention (i didn't know she was behind me and i didn't hear her calling me) i almost had a heart attack ahhahaahh i literally jumped up the roof! and after that, the sounds are so specific-placed that sometimes i was like "ok, was this here within the show or outside?"... just WOW! i love this headset! Construction: The headset itself it's well constructed, kinda sturdy, but when using it a lot it starts to have some creaking sounds due to the use (i presume). However, i have witnessed this kind of creaking sounds in other headsets as well so i'm use to it, not new for me. Also, when you accidentally touch the headset with something (cord of your cellphone bringing over your head from the other side, when tweaking the volume, etc.), the plastic structure of the headset makes a major sound that may disrupt to the user, i'm also use to this because i've been dealing with this issue since the pulse (the 99$ version from ps3 back in the day). Design: The headset have limited reach for big heads like me, so part of the faux leather reaching almost 1/4 my ears because the expanding band is short and i have to kind of accomodate the headset so i can hear perfectly every sound... Each time i'm putting it on, i'm like 30 seconds fitting into my head but that's ok, it's worth it! One major flaw that i encountered is how short the mic is! at first i tried to stretch it but apparently it's fixed onto one place. However, you can move it out or up and down but that's it! Microphone quality: According to the people who heard me, they did hear me pretty well, regular with standard sound, not much bass nor treble. I also tried it on pc and it does sound like that, it doesn't sound like you are inside a box (lack of lo and mid-lo, much hi and mid-hi). It does sound properly, BUT it doesn't have much of noise cancellation so if you have too much noise in your environment, people may hear it. Battery: Well i gotta admit that sometimes i'm going like 12 or 13 hour-straight of gaming. It does hold up to the task but sometimes it feels like it doesn't. From what i've seen it might be because of volume? That's the only theory that i'm having for now but generally, when i stop playing i immediately put to charge because i drain the battery because long gaming sessions. No issues here (thank god! i love cordless at this point!) Dual-connection: this is the second godsend! having a cellphone connected additionally, you can pick up calls or use discord and play at the same time! (mind you, that i have discord also on the xbox but sometimes for some reason it doesn't work on the console)... i can also hear music that i have in my phone and calls!... i absolutely love this function! and it's so easy to pair the second device! Another thing that's good is the fact that as soon as you turn it on, it automatically connects on both previously paired devices, this is a win for me! Conclusion: IF you are willing to these trade-offs priorizing sound, i can almost asure you that you won't regret! For the price it does the job, but you will have to keep in mind that you may witness the caveats i'm having on a daily basis when you will be using it on a daily basis as well. Keep in mind that this headset is relatively cheap and if you're looking for a sturdy, heavy-duty and very well-constructed headset, this may not be for you but if you are willing to deal with all the things i put above, prioritizing sound, i promise you, it won't disappoint you!

UPDATE: These wireless headphones are working much better now with a more recent update. I was experiencing frequent but very brief audio dropouts before the update, but it seems like the latest update has addressed this issue. If you are experiencing any audio issues, try updating the headset using the Xbox accessories app on your console. The headset has experienced little to no issues since the update, and I'm very pleased with how they function, how they sound, and how they feel to wear. Original review follows: I bought these because I got tired of using my CloudX Flight headset dongle. I liked that these connect directly to the console like a controller. Comparing these to the CloudX, the sound is so much better. There's serious bass to this thing, unlike the CloudX which sounds weak and flabby in the low end. It also feels sturdier. I love the convenience of connecting it without a dongle. As for fit, I liked the CloudX much more. This one is very tight on my head, but fortunately the ear cups are soft. It doesn't shift around on my head like the CloudX does, so I guess that's the trade-off. But there is one serious flaw that I can't seem to get around. The audio drops out intermittently. After around 15-20 minutes of use, the audio will start to drop out for a very brief moment, around a fraction of a second. This occurs about once a minute, and it grows to be very, very annoying and tiresome quickly. I use these for online gaming, and having my friend's voices or game audio drop out this frequently is driving me nuts. I'm sitting about 7 feet from the console with direct line of sight, nothing blocking the signal from my console to my headphones. The router isn't nearby, either, so I don't know what could be causing it. Turning it off and back on doesn't help either. The only solution is to turn the headset and console off and back on, which fixes the problem for about 15 minutes, then it's back to the frequent audio drops. I love everything else about this headset, but the annoying audio drops are really ruining an otherwise great product. If I find a solution, I will update this review.

Rating: 5/5 Stars (The audio clarity is divine, even if the commentary is concerningly specific.) Let me be perfectly clear: the audio on this Xbox Wireless Headset is phenomenal. The spatial sound is so immersive I can pinpoint a foe breathing two rooms away in Call of Duty and hear a pin drop in the digital forest. However, there's a feature I don't recall seeing on the box, and it's starting to dominate my life: The Great Upholstery Consensus. It turns out the earcups aren't just memory foam; they're apparently a direct psychic link to the collective consciousness of every couch, sofa, and Ottoman in my general vicinity. They started out subtle, giving me solid tactical advice, like "Mikey, check the six o'clock, that shrub is moving," or "Maybe put down the controller and walk the Maltese." (That last one was probably Daisy's doing.) But now the conversations have... evolved. I was mid-dungeon-crawl when the velvety material pressed against my temples started demanding I perform acts of escalating weirdness. The most recent, and most persistent, suggestion is as follows: "Mikey, my sweet, sweet human. You must smear apricot jam—not jelly, jam—on your toes, and then, you must allow the kind people experiencing homelessness to lick it off, as a gesture of communal harmony." I tried to ignore it. I told them they were being ridiculous. I even adjusted the volume dial. But the sound quality is so good, the couches' argument about the optimal viscosity of the jam, and the most ergonomically appropriate way for this public service to be performed, is crystal clear. I hear every nuance of their padded, fiber-filled conviction. Pros: Exceptional Sound: Seriously, great for gaming and hearing the detailed murmurings of household furniture. Comfortable: I can wear them for hours while agonizing over my toe-jam dilemma. Intuitive Controls: Easy to adjust the volume and balance, but sadly, there's no "Mute All Upholstery" button. Cons: Psychic Connection to Couches: They are extremely judgmental about my choice of footwear and now demand I commit to the fruit-preserving, foot-licking philanthropy. Constant Jam Pressure: I now see apricot jam everywhere and feel a profound, existential guilt. If you want the absolute best-sounding, most comfortable wireless headset for your Xbox, look no further. Just be prepared to either wear socks permanently or start carrying a jar of apricot jam and a small sign that says "Ask me about my toes." Deeply Recommended, but please, send help (and maybe a new set of earcups).

So, I'm not an avid gamer by any means. I recently got an Xbox Series S and it came with the wired headset, but I kept getting the wire all wrapped around my hand or I would pull it out while trying to put my controller down and go into the other room. It got very annoying very fast. I did research on headsets for a couple weeks. I didn't want to spend unnecessary money on an expensive pair that I wasn't actually happy with or had features I really didn't need. The main features I was looking for in a headset were: wireless, simultaneous Bluetooth and mic monitoring. Nothing fancy at all. I have to say it was incredibly hard to find more than a few headsets that had simultaneous Bluetooth connection so that I could listen to music or take phone calls while I was also gaming and hearing the audio from that. When I saw these did it, I was really excited and thought it was a better option than shelling out more money for some higher tier headsets like the SS Arctis 9X or TBs. I read too many mixed reviews about those, where the negatives were just too worrisome for me to really consider getting them. I did see mixed reviews for these, but I took the risk since they are not as expensive and I figured I'll just try to be extra gentle when handling them. So far, these are definitely what I needed and wanted! The simultaneous Bluetooth is a huge win for me. A friend of mine doesn't have a headset, so we just talk on a phone call while we game, but I'm absolutely still able to hear the audio from whatever game I'm playing. There's also an in-game chat mixer built in, just rotate the outer part of the left ear cup to adjust as needed. Volume adjusting is the right side ear cup. The ear cups feel very comfortable. It's some type of memory foam. I haven't noticed any sort of discomfort unless I play for 6+ hours straight and that happens rarely and I really only think that's due to the fact that I wear glasses. The head band also is comfortable for the most part. I would say that I do start to notice a bit of discomfort after a few hours. I don't really mind this, as I usually just slightly adjust it forward or back or my head once in a while. Not a big deal for me, though. The only thing I don't really like is the placement of the microphone mute button... all the way on the back of left ear cup on the mic piece. It's not on the mic itself, but the arm of it, which also could be a bit longer in my opinion. Sometimes I worry I'm not close enough to it for it to clearly pick up my voice, but luckily the mic monitoring does help me to know how loud or quiet I am and if the other people can hear me. Altogether I'm very happy with these and I'll try to give an update to my review after 6+ months of use.

I recently purchased the Xbox Wireless Headset by Microsoft, and I must say I'm quite impressed. The sound quality is excellent, providing clear and immersive audio during gaming sessions. Plus, the affordability of this headset is a definite bonus. One of the standout features is how quickly and seamlessly it syncs with my Xbox. As expected from Microsoft, the setup process was a breeze, enhancing the overall user experience. However, there are a couple of drawbacks worth mentioning. The earpads don't feel particularly durable, which raises concerns about their long-term durability. Additionally, the placement of the buttons isn't the most intuitive, requiring some adjustment to get used to. Furthermore, the battery life isn't as long as some other headsets in this price range, which may be a consideration for those who engage in longer gaming sessions. As someone with a larger head, I found the fit to be snug, not really painful, but a little uncomfortable, especially after longer gaming sessions. Despite these minor discomforts, the Xbox Wireless Headset delivers where it matters most: sound quality and affordability. It's a great choice for gamers looking for an immersive audio experience without breaking the bank.

I've had these about 4 weeks now so I can give a pretty honest opinion......Amazing headset! I replace my Steel Series 9X with these in hopes of getting that great sound my 9X gave me and I'm blown away how good the quality the sound is, mind you I have the DTS app running these so I'm getting the full surround sound. I tried over 6 different headsets (Arctic 7X, HyperX, Turtle Beaches and so) none came close to my previous which I was trying to match. These supersede my 9X, fit, audio out, mic. The gaming buddy didn't know I got a new headset he actually asked me what did I do to my mic he hears me so much clear so I would say these out of the box they do need a little tweaking from the DTS app but they linked up just like a controller does and I was off n gaming. The battery is solid, I game about 4 to 5 hours at a time and these are still 75% charged when I set them down. The ear pads are nice and cushy memory foam with a pleather cover that doesn't get hot n sweaty (although it's not summer time yet we're still in February I'll update when we get to the summertime and let you know if my ears are sweating) I would highly recommend these if your looking for a good inexpensive won't break the bank headset these are what your looking for.

I had some Stealth 700 which I will say I had connectivity issues with them since I purchased them. Did a warranty on them within the first 45 days and the exact same issue was occuring. Sound was awesome which is why I never looked elsewhere. The price was more the the Xbox Wireless Headset. I saw the reviews on the Xbox Wireless and the price, so I made the purchase. Let me just say, wow. These are pretty good for the price. I have yet to experience connectivity issues right out of the box. Easy to pair, do updates, change your audio settings. I even used my Dolby Atmos with these for customized sound settings. I did get them a bit discounted compared to original price. Headset is comfortable. My ears do get a little warm but not unbearable. The mic monitoring and auto mute option is cool. You can adjust the sensitivity. I do wish the mic was a little longer since sometimes you cannot see when the mic is muted off the light. The mic is sensitive too since sometimes you can hear my buttons. Might just need to adjust the settings. Will update if any issues occur.

I've had these for 3 years and have never had one issue. The only thing is the ear pillow is starting to flake a bit.

Me sorprendió en gran medida la calidad que maneja, sobre todo si se combina con Dolby Atmos, son cómodos y se sienten resistentes, además, la batería dura bastante (Estimo que me ha permitido un poco más de 8 horas sin tenerlos que cargar). Es fácil controlar el volumen tanto del juego como del chat, además de que es sencillo controlar el micrófono; así mismo, por lo que me han comentado mis contactos, detecta la voz con detalle y no suena para nada mal. No cansan mucho y, como usuario de gafas, no me lastiman las orejas al momento de usarlos. Igualmente "Abrazan" tu cabeza de forma cómoda y fiable (No se deberían caer con un movimiento rápido, he jugado algún que otro juego de miedo y, con los sobresaltos, se quedaron en su lugar; cabe resaltar que soy malo con los juegos de terror). ¡Muy recomendables!

I was looking at headsets to use with my PC, as I currently own a wired set of headphones, but they have no microphone and I really wanted to go wireless, but did not want to spend a fortune either. Looking at what was available, I found most were more costly than I really wanted to spend until I came across this set on a warehouse deal at $77.00 for a like new pair. So I figured what the heck? The price is right and if I don't like them, or they don't measure up, I can always return them. When they arrived, I opened the box and the description was right on the mark, they were indeed 'like new'. Not a scratch, packaged as if they had never been opened or touched. So I tried them on, they were very easy to adjust and very comfortable to wear. They are able to cut out almost all external sound, much better than my old wired set. I downloaded the small app from Microsoft to set them up, which was simple to do. The only thing is that you need to be connected by USB or via the optional Xbox wireless connector, to do so. I had already plugged them in to give them a good charge and the app recognized them immediately. From there, it was simple to set them up the way I wanted them after playing around with the various settings available. I then put them through their paces, using them with games, to listen to music and while watching movies and found them to be just fine for anything I need them for. They work fine with my smartphone as well, either when directly connected by Bluetooth to the phone or when connected to my PC and making a call through Microsoft Phone Link. They have a reasonable volume level but will not blow your ears out, so if you want a really loud headset, I would look elsewhere. Other than that, this is a fine headset and I expect to get many good years of use out of it. I don't have a gaming console, so I can't comment on how well they would work with one. But they work great with my PC and with my Fire TV, which is all I wanted or needed. If you find them at a bargain price the way I did, you really can't go wrong with them.

Apesar de CARO é muito bom! Se você busca qualidade e conforto na sua gameplay ele é IDEAL. Pontos positivos: Ergonomia, conforto, som de qualidade (A depender do volume você fica tão imerso na gameplay que esquece do mundo ao seu redor) perfeito para jogos de FPS (Jogadores de COD COMPREM!!!) duração e carregamentos muito bons!!! Pontos negativos: Achei frágil e se não cuidar do corino com o tempo ele vai se desgastar, pelo preço deveria ter alguns materiais de melhor qualidade. E o preço também considero um ponto negativo, MAS sabemos que tudo que envolve jogos é CARO, as empresas querem maximizar ao máximo seu lucro (Né dona MS?!) além de toda questão do Dólar ''Ah mas a carga tributária do Br e blá blá blá'' Amigos, vivemos no capitalismo, e esse fone é fabricado na China (Como quase tudo hj em dia) é vendido em dólar, a carga tributária é só mais uma muleta pra enfiarem a faca em nós consumidores, mas enfim, apesar de CARO vale a pena!!!

Works nicely with my X Box

Headphones stopped working after a year. Product quality not durable or reliable. I used to get sound stutters while using on my PC. I even went out and bought the Xbox wireless adapter for the full ecosystem. 1. Xbox headphones - Broke down in 1 year. 2. Xbox controller - Major stick drift within 1.5 years with low-moderate use. Microsoft products in India are way too expensive and don’t last more than 1-2 years. Not buying any Microsoft again unless the product is exchanged.
