Microsoft Wireless Stereo Headset

The Xbox Wireless Headset is one of the best official platform gaming headsets, but compared to the best on the market, it's got some catching up to do.

  Battery life, Xbox Accessories App integration, Microphone, USB-C audio

  Xbox Wireless is still inconvenient to other platforms, Boosted bass, Uncomfortable at first

It’s very nearly the best gaming headset around with rich audio, superb comfort, and an aggressive price point, but its microphone is such a sore spot for PC players that it’s worth looking elsewhere.

The new Microsoft Xbox Wireless headset is an absolute bargain at this price and one of the best headsets you can get on the Xbox Series X with a strong selection of features and reliable build-quality at every turn.

Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless Headset is a great value, and surprisingly capable for both casual and hardcore gamers.

A first-party gaming headset done right

  Clean, minimalist design, Simultaneous connection to Xbox and a Bluetooth device, Spatial audio widely supported, Excellent dial controls

  No headphone jack, No playback controls on the headset

The design of the Xbox One Stereo Headset is completely inline with the matte and glossy textures featured on the Xbox One console. The headphones feature a sleek black colour on the outside whilst retaining the iconic Xbox green on the inner cups.

The first time I put these on I noticed immediately that it felt like an expensive surround sound headset. In Garden Warfare and Titanfall I can tell where sounds are coming from with no problem. It is comfortable enough to wear for many hours with no problem.

  Tight and comfortable fit. Great sound quality. Great simulated surround sound. Very good mic quality.

Tested with an extensive few rounds of Plants vs Zombies. These headphones are really pretty darn good. The build quality is stand out excellent. Very sturdy feeling and well made in comparison to my Turtle Beach wireless headset.

Very nice. Easy to set up and sounds great. The only other headset I've owned are Triton Detenators and I can say these sound a lot better. Can say yet what it does to controller battery life but its worth it either way. I'm happy!

I'm not a huge audiophobe kinda guy but I know the difference between horrible and crisp quality and this headset delivers. The build quality is great and they are really comfortable on my big head. Can't wait to use these bad boys Broadcasting Titanfall tomorrow!

I really like this headset. It is very style and far more substantial than I originally assumed. All of the parts are nice and stiff so should hold long. One thing I did wish though was that the mic could come out of either the left or right side of the head.

Sound is good although I do hear some crackling every now and then but that seems to be an issue with the adapters rather than the headset. After a long gaming session on the BF4 campaign it does start to hurt your head a bit on top.

A good head set but after 5 months the wirers going into the plug are crapping out

Excellent product,dolby atmos is awesome on these headset.

Build quality is a little meh but sound is great and they are very comfortable. The mic is fairly good according to those I play with as well.

Great present for my 11 year old gamer who still believes in Santa!
