Microsoft - Xbox Wireless Headset – Starfield Limited Edition

I have the official Xbox wireless headset. Super amazing and quality and mic is better than my turtle beach ones that I got 3 years ago. Also very comfortable for me. You might need to change location to your local site tho https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/headsets/xbox-wireless-headset

Ok so then it’s the same issue that we all have. I have the original black and I also bought the Starfield version and for whatever reason the Starfield version does it more often. Sometimes restarting the game or the Xbox fixes it

I avoided them for years bc I thought they would be useless for me. I gave in and bought the wireless xbox headset for my series x out of curiosity and I loved it so much that I ended up buying the 3d pulse for ps5. Thought they were pretty cheap sounding/feeling, so I went with steelseries p7+ and they've been great. Xbox cans are my favorite bc they have a good amount of low end and the dials are so easy to use. I also bought the starfield variant as a backup. I have a fully discreet atmos setup that set me back a few grand, but sometimes the closeness of the cans are better bc they can be more immersive.

I love their wireless headset but it does have a history of the mic breaking off. I've read many comments about it.... It's some weak point in the plastic. Another part later broke but I was able to tape it. Although my starfield version of this headset hasn't broken yet.

I have the older one. I love it, but I have a lot of MS rewards,.so I cashed some in and bought this new set. Got it today. Got it charged, got it connected....and no sound from the Xbox. Connected to my phone, got sound, none from Xbox. I contacted MS, they had me reset it, hard reset it, hard reset the console, nothing. They wanted me to wipe my Xbox minus the games, I said no way, so I connected to a 2nd Xbox, no sound, I connected my old headset to the other console, connected right away and sound. They said I should just return it. I didn't even get to use it. Ugh.

Yes. It connected just fine, before and after the update. Make the connection sound, says on the Xbox it's connected, says headset assigned. Just no sound from the Xbox..either Xbox, audio worked perfectly from my phone. I only connected my phone because I was curious why I heard no audio from Xbox.

The audio latency is still terrible like the first gen, for anyone wondering.

Rtings clocked the latency of the original at 122ms, meaning there is about 1/10th of a second delay between when you see something happen on screen and when you hear it through the headphones. Haven't seen any measurements of the new model yet, but having tried both it doesn't seem to have improved, and it's generally worse than other wireless headsets on the market. That's great that you don't notice. Some of us are sensitive to it.

I also have similar issues and they are practically unusable

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.

it does not turn on the Xbox anymore.

I have the headset for a few days now. It does not turn on the Xbox.

Awesome!

I have several. I have a Razer Kairi Pro headset and the official Xbox wireless headset. They are absolutely worth it imo. Not necessarily for multiplayer and chilling out, but some games for story/atmosphere they're brilliant. Dead Space was ten times better with the headset than without.

Reset the MAC address in network settings. It’ll fix it for a day or two. Not a perfect solution but a short term fix

This is my biggest gripe with it. I also use it on my PC when I game on there and it turns my Xbox on, which then turns my TV on.

Won’t need these as mine as still flawless

They suck, bad connection with xbox, bad connection with smartphone , bad connection with pc vía USB (im not making the de mic work)

I’ve had mine for a few years now with absolutely zero issues

same problem

For Xbox, they are great since they are wireless and can be used with or without the controller.

Yuppp, same here bought mine last year and still look like new

I got this headset last week and the sound is good while playing games but is scratchy on the Home Screen menu and every app. Any idea how to solve this?

I'm late but I was able to connect to my xbox and Bluetooth at the same time on my original pair of xbox wireless unless they changed it. It was weird I was in a party chat and my dad called and I heard all of them at the same time but obviously my dad couldn't hear the party it was pretty trippy 😅 I just got a pair of the new ones the first served me well but I believe the auto mute is just wonky because sometimes they say they couldn't hear me even tho I responded or maybe just because I don't have a very bass-y voice 😅😅 they're updating now about to try them out

I wear this model of headset and I have no complaints about my glasses getting smushed into my head

Xbox Wireless has terrible range. I basically had to put the Xbox right next to my seating to stop dropouts. Some 2.4Ghz routers can also cause issues. It's sad, because the Xbox360 had flawless wireless that allowed me to hide my system in a closet. The Xbox One killed that setup with It's massively reduced range.

I bought it 3 weeks ago and I can say that even though it says it long 20 hours, for my use it lasts less, I'm going to see if I can change it for another one that lasts longer.

Contact customer service with pictures and ask for repair. I got a new headset to replace my old busted one when I complained. See what happens.

Yeah do it! Mine was out of warranty to. I tried and it worked. I was expecting a rejection but I got a new headset. Besides, what’s the worst that could happen.

I beg u to try this eq out, honestly the one u used I've tried, and as kind of an audiophile, it absolutely rapes your ears and doesn't address the proper frequencies that need attention, which is the mids, the highs have no business needing such an insane amount of boosting when the headphones already come with an aggressively V-shaped frequency response. My eq sorta gives a volume boost, + completely eliminates the mudiness but still retains bass without stuff like bells and cymbals in games like ori to absolutely give u hearing damage

They get too loud for me I have to use them halfway mess with eq and the chat game know on left

It says the mic was upgraded and also has better auto mute and voice isolation

Having to plug your headset into your controller is so outdated and annoying. Saying charging a headset is disruptive is like saying charging a controller battery is disruptive. Just plug it in when youre not playing. Not hard for those with brains

If you cant remember to charge your headset once every 20 hours of playtime then I hate to break it to you, your brain is the inconvenience not the product

Seems to happen to mine more often when the battery is getting lower. I haven't tested that out yet, but it feels like when I'm somewhere below 40% or 50% it happens more often. And when the battery is really low, it happens so much I have to stop using it and recharge it. Hey, maybe it's a feature not a bug. 

I hope the range is better. Mine started to drop out when I was 4 feet away.

This. I have a (very powerful) range extender 1,5 meters from the Xbox, and when I turn my head anti clockwise (for instance, to check my smartphone) I have cutouts. If I move away or move the range extender, I don't have problems. It depends on the band, on the channel, on other radio interfaces. But the headset is one of the best

I have both a wireless (the Xbox wireless headset)and a cheap $30 wired headset off Amazon. I only use the wired one if I forget to charge the wireless headset. The wireless is more convenient to me since you don't have to deal with thr cord getting in the way and in you wanna get up and do something quickly like going to take a quick piss you don't have to take your headset off.

Hey! I just got my headset, but the sensitivity is way too high—you can literally hear everything in my room. Do you have the same problem?

My friends hear the fan of my Xbox, my neighbors and everything else. In addition, the noise reduction does not work.

Mine does the same too. It's so frustrating.

At the price point, they are very good. Everyone doesn’t spent $250-$500 on the headset so they can hear footsteps .023 seconds sooner. I mean, *I* do. But I am willing to accept that others don’t.

Best headset at good price, I’ve had other premium ones but Xbox Wireless is great product for price
