Microsoft - Xbox Wireless Headset (2021 Model)

I see a lot of comments about the Xbox wireless headset. I still have a launch headset when it first came out. The only issue is where the ear/speaker connects to the headband, it cracked. I super glued it but haven't used them since. My daughter had the same pair and hers broke at the same spot. If you take care of them you should be fine. Mine look new and they sound great. I picked up a TB stealth 600 Gen 3. So far they have been great. Same features as the Xbox wireless ones plus you have an app on your phone to make changes to the settings and EQ. The cost is about the same so I would recommend either one.

Wireless original xbox series x headset. I just like it because i can have it connected to my phone and my xbox the same time just incase someone calls or texts me

My Xbox wireless headset is holding up extremely well over last 2 years. It’s a closed back design that he won’t be able to hear sounds around him when it’s on, and comfortable for my bigger head and wider ears. It can connect for just sound to the pc and sound great wirelessly. It u try to use it with a mic on pc the quality drops. The fix is to plug it in. So if hes prone to ripping out cords or won’t like that it might be an issue. It also can connect to a second device thru Bluetooth like a phone. Listen to music, while connected to pc with cable, and once set up auto connects well and intuitively. 1 second press to turn on or off. And a different button to mute mic or unmute. With a small light at the end of the flexible microphone that shows it’s now ON when bright. And when you turn it on it can just connect to pc and then phone automatically after setup in one easy shot (with my iPhone. And I can’t answer for android) leather ear cups that havnt worn much for me. But get a little warm. And headstrap that occasionally has to be pulled back up off of the head or moved an inch to relieve pressure. This may or may not be worse with a smaller head. It does adjust and I can’t try that. It’s heavy enough to feel quality but I havnt had problems with inertia when swinging my head. A hyperactive child may need a lighter style or it will bug them. Easy volume control with turning the entire ear cuff that always blows my mind even today. I’ve never dropped mine I do not know the durability of that aspect, it isn’t slippery and sticks to surfaces well without sliding when laying flat on a desk because of the leather. 100 dollars Amazon In the USA. Any questions just ask. I would buy another if it broke today. Quick edit ~ it sounds fantastic to me both music and games. And microphone has never had complaints from anybody. Always heard clearly. I like the sound better than a set of nice new AirPods which are very good. But one last warning if you need to talk to him to get his attention and can’t just tap his shoulder easily. You may want open back designed that lets more outside noise enter. Most people prefer one or the other they both sound quite a bit different like a theater versus a stage almost and personal preference can lean one way. AirPods are closed back if you have a pair for him to try. I really do compare the Xbox headset sound to AirPods closely. With AirPods winning in convenience of use.

I can definitely agree with the Xbox Wireless Headset. I have the first one the Starfield Limited Edition and the second one from last year and they are both awesome for that price.

It also is not compatible with the Wireless Adapter for windows. It's either a driver bug or a huge oversight. The old version works fine with it.

It doesn't work with any xbox wireless adapter on windows. You have to use bluetooth on the new version.

What did you end up getting? My older Xbox wireless works but they don't sound as nice or are as comfortable as I'd like.

I have a pretty good wired set for PC and PS5, but I really like the Xbox ones. The bass is overly punchy, but I prefer that for the type of games I play (action/RPG).

I like the Xbox headset I think the price went up abit over years , but it does the job

I used the Xbox Wireless Headset for a while and liked it a lot more than the Turtle Beach Stealth 500.

This headset blows. I have had the Astro A30 for 2 years till my friend stepped on them. I got these and they absolutely blow for call of duty. Sounds like you are in a closet playing. Game audio is horrible. I’m returning them and buying a new pair of a30’s tomorrow. DO NOT BUY.

Xbox wireless headset is really good
