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

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.
