Astro A20x. It has a fantastic microphone, it’s fully compatible with Xbox, it has a light clamping-force so it’s good for glasses-users, and it’s wireless with both 2.4ghz and Bluetooth but unfortunately not simultaneously. Retails under $200. https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/shop/p/astro-a20-x
Right now I use the Astro a20 PS5 edition and it's quite comfortable but I used to have a steel series arctis which was super comfortable.
I had won a new pair of the new a50x last year and while I did like them their are not something that I would have spent or thought were worth the price of them. I eventually sold them cause they were too bulky with the light speed base to really work with my tv stand. Plus at the time I had a PlayStation but I sold that as well and just have my Xbox so the switching wasn’t necessary. I used my old wired for a while but recently bought the a20x which isn’t really Astro it’s basically g522 rebranded with some extra features being able to connect on Xbox and any platform. It’s half the price of the a50x and I found it way more comfortable for me with a bigger head, also the tiny switcher is a lot better for space than the big dock base. I had a $50 gift card for Amazon and a $20 promo as well so I got it even cheaper and really happy with it. Only thing I miss is the simultaneous Bluetooth, but as far a Xbox the only options were either too expensive, didn’t fit to my liking, or not fully as compatible with Xbox needing a pc to do a lot of things which I don’t have at the movement.
I got the logitech a20x which is not pictured but in the same price range. Love them so far.
Idk what happened but suddenly started working - I tried everything, switching ports, resetting the sync, updating firmware, restarting controller, updating controller
I recently got these for a series s - they sound great and are comfortable but I cannot get the mic to work on Xbox. The mic works fine on the computer but can’t get it to pick up any sound on Xbox. Anyone have similar problems or got any solutions? I’ve tried everything I can think of.
I am using the Logitech Astro A20 X headset. Its not heavy and doesn't feel like your wearing anything. Sound and microphones work both very wel.
Whatever you do please do not buy the Pulse Elite, I literally took them off my head gently and heard this crunch sound now has a hairline crack on one side. The most stupid design I’ve ever seen, only lasted 3 months. Just ordered Astro A20X after seeing the stellar reviews. https://preview.redd.it/biavwqo47ihg1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad3f843bbaa8adf63e8aa5af992dc0688418a5b3
I have had a 2023 Razer Blackshark V2 pro for almost two years. Great listening sound, PHENOMENAL recording sound. The biggest problem is that the construction is garbage. Already RMA’d the original, and the second set broke the same way, so I gave up. I read that the 2025 V3 has a WORSE microphone than the V2, and same bad construction, so I avoided it. I just bought a Logitech G Astro A20 X Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5, Xbox, Switch, PC with 2-System PLAYSYNC Audio, Bluetooth, LIGHTSYNC RGB, and 48 kHz Boom Mic - Black and the sound is also awesome. My podcast mic is only marginally better. Although the Logitech dongle does work in Linux, I paired with Bluetooth instead.
