I’ve tried a lot of headsets and the wireless Xbox ones have been my favorite. I have the starfield edition and they’re still holding up strong. When they finally give out I’ll be getting another pair for sure.
Whatever comes next lol. I have the same Xbox headset and it is great for what I need it for. Good sound, good battery life and easy to pair with phone as stated in original response.
People are saying the Series X headset, and it is honestly the most reliable headset I've owned, but I still want to say the downsides I've experienced with it. I do not find the audio control dials to be sufficient enough to find the level of volume I want between game and party chat, without having to lower in-game volume for better party chat voice clarity. The synthetic leather will deteriorate at a moderate rate, and the ear pads are easily replacable, but once the headband portion deteriorates, that portion isn't fixable.
I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find a story like mine. The Xbox set sounds good, works great, and fits great. But God damn they literally began to disintegrate at the 2 year mark. Everything failed on it by year 3 (first the coating came off the ears pads, then the entire pads ripped off, then the mic disintegrated, then the plastic started cracking) . So yeah, if you're fine with 2 years use, get them. But they are not going to last you years (with regular use).
For Xbox and PC, go with the Xbox headset. Amazing for the price, and it has Dolby Atmos.
As my everyday nothing beats the Xbox Wireless ones for the pricepoint however ... When it's time to go competitive and you need pinpoint accuracy I go back to my turtles even though I have the Bang Olu Portals.
i was going to send these back but ill try your settings first. feels like the audio is at a distance with the standard settings
I’ve just got the Xbox wireless headset and think it’s a great bit of kit for the price. Plus Dolby Atmos is fantastic. Plug and play. No issues at all with 20 hr battery life.
