Microsoft - Xbox Stereo Headset

I have official x box one, love it

I’ve had nothing but trouble with mine. Weird pairing issues where it connects, but doesn’t play sound. I’ve tried every procedure listed on Microsoft and Reddit help posts, with very little success. Lots of holding down buttons and even plugging it in via usb *while* holding down buttons, but I’ve only gotten it to work once. Then my daughter switched to her account and it was back to square one.

There are a few headsets that approach audiophile grade sound, but not a lot. And unless a pair of gaming headphones has more than one speaker per cup (which may exist, but which I have not come across), it isn't going to be particularly more capable of "3D" audio than any good pair of headphones with a competent amp/DAC. With gaming headphones (especially for PCs), you're paying for the convenience of having a built-in mic and the brand, and honestly you can find a lot of good headphones with built-in mics, a boom mic cord, or an external mic and spend less overall for better sound. I have a couple of old ones kicking around, but I basically never use them anymore because I get way better resolution and clarity from a Hifiman or Meze, and then I don't need to swap around headphones when I move to music. Might be more worth it for consoles, if you don't want to have to deal with cords. (For example, I still use the Microsoft Series X headset with the Xbox Series X for pure convenience and not wanting to have to fumble with wires or mics in my living room.)

I’ve had a bunch of Turtle Beaches over the years (and just bought one to cannibalize for the drivers), but don’t have any experience with that model. I will say I’ve had maybe two headsets marketed as “gaming” that I thought were good enough sounding to be worth using: Audeze Maxwell and the Microsoft Series X headset, neither of which have ANC. Good luck though!

Same here. It’s decent enough and works perfect for my needs.

The official one is what I use. Simple, easy, and it works great. I wish it adjusted just a little bit larger though.

Just get the Official ones, they are actually pretty good.

I got the official Xbox wired headset, not a single issue

No one ever complained.

I use the official xbox wired headset, has amazing sound and is extremely comfortable.

I game mostly on Series X using the Xbox official headset. The thing I notice is that it works great as long as a game is playing. If you wish to use it to watch TV, or YouTube, or anything else, the connection is so bad it becomes unusable. Not sure why this happens, but this is something I have dealt with since I bought the headset for myself as a Christmas gift last year.

Have the steelseries for my pc (non x), figured I'd try the Microsoft dedicated xbox headset for my Xbox. Love the steelseries, can wear it for hours, microsoft one hurts the top of my head. Sound and mic are great on both though.

I've got the official headset and can't fault it. Sounds great, looks good and holds a charge very well.
