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!

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.

Easy to connect and sounds great.

It's fantastic that the headphones connect to the Xbox, but not the TV, but this also causes the singular problem: volume control. The volume does not stay at the chosen level, but instead resets every time the headphones and Xbox are turned off. And because there's no volume indicator like on TV, every time you put the headphones back on, you need to re-calibrate them to your preferred level, which takes many tries of up and down because there's not visual indicator. It's not a deal-breaker but it's quite annoying when you are gaming and you spend the first few minutes fiddling with the in-game volume instead of enjoying the game. Also, they're not good for music listening, lacking high end, but that's not what they're meant for, so who cares, but I thought you should know.

Got these for my father as a bday gift, and now over a year and half later he still loves them. The spinning sound controls are nice, sound is clear, sound suppression is also very good and very comfortable on the head!

Works really well

Being microsoft xbox headsets, I was honestly thinking they were going to be mid, and would need to get some other ones. They turned out to be great, but you HAVE TO USE custom settings! Out of the box the settings are pretty trash. So look online for a guide for the set you needed. I found a good youtube video to setup very clear FPS settings. After got those adjusted they are great. I wear glasses and would like them a bit bigger as they press my glasses down, but they are great over all. They have a mute button super nice feature.
