Just bought new replacement pads for my Starfield edition headset, been going strong since July, 2023 plus multipoint Bluetooth is just awesome.

I use the official XBOX ones, and in all honesty, love them. They sound great, the mic is excellent quality, they are comfortable and are MUCH cheaper than many 3rd party headsets. Plus the volume controls are built into the rotateable earcups (on the wireless ones you even get separate contrl of chat and game volume) so are instantly accessible with no fiddling about with inline controls. https://preview.redd.it/zpg6o280s47f1.png?width=150&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd4097d70641eae48aaf672d9e939c89ba0cc197

LOL my bad I should have included a link :D Yep, those are the ones, they do wireless AND wired versions, although the wired only have a single overall game/chat volume control on the right earcup,whereas the wireless has one for each) You can just set your source (PC, XBOX or whatever)to full volume and adjust the headphone volume instantly, no fuckaboutery. You literally just rotate the round bit of the earcup (the bit with the logo on it). Great for movies and TV where the volume is up and down all over the damn place. The wireed one has a simple audio jack plug which connects into the jack socket onthe controller or into the audio socket on a PC etc. I don't know about the wireless one as I use wired. Also the mic on/off switch is on the mic itself and the mic arm is bendy \^\_\^ https://preview.redd.it/na4tn38ih57f1.png?width=150&format=png&auto=webp&s=c523beb97e5abcaff043c09b8874b61429879be5

The best pair that worked for me (on Xbox series X) was the official Xbox ones. https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/accessories/headsets/xbox-wireless-headset I already had the Razer Kraken and Corsair Virtuoso, and had issues with both, but the official Xbox wireless headset has been great.

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.

Xbox wireless headphones with Bluetooth & Dolby support. It can also connect to the two devices simultaneously. It reduces game volume approx 80% if a call comes.

It's bullet proof - I have the official Xbox wireless headset V2 (slightly larger battery and faster wireless connection), but both are best in class - and no dongles or wires. They even isolate your voice from external sounds and can pair simultaneously with your mobile so you can set up a discord or whatever and chat away if you like playing cross platform. There really isn't anything better on the market for the cost.

I've had both versions of the Xbox wireless headset, old style for 4ish years, and new style for ~1 year and I've never had a problem with either. Sound quality is great (to me) and I've never had even a single complaint about mic quality/issues on either set. I've used them for gaming, movies, and music.

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).
