The Xbox wants to claim that place on your ears is with an updated version of its popular but clearly Xbox wireless headset. Released at the end of 2024, the new version has better battery life, dolby atomos support, and a better microphone, which is all for just $ 110. Keep in mind that some of our favorite gaming headsets do not have a native Xbox series x/s (7/10, Wired Review) Support, and official offer seems even more attractive.
Connecting and pairing
The original looking Xbox headset will not win any beauty contest, but it works perfectly. Creating a pairing with an Xbox can not be simple. Press the Big Green Power button on the left ear, then press the pairing button on the console, and you are ready to go. This is the same process for Bluetooth devices, and I had no trouble connecting it to my phone, although I don't think I would wear them to hear a podcast while walking the dog.

If you want to go to Nitty- Gritti, Xbox accessories The app on your console has a wife of additional audio settings, including a equalizer with a preset for various mode. I usually set it for speech, because I found that it helped me listen to dialogue in busy games, but I think the music looked best for most situations. You can also adjust the mic and light settings here, with a stunning level specificity for a console headset.
I am a great fan of volume knobs on each earcup, both have a premium feel. They take the entire outside panel, so they are easy to catch and bend the mid-game without hunting. The game on the left adjusts the balance between audio and communication audio and has an indent in the center for a division of 50-50, and adjusts the total volume to the right all the way under a full muted, at each end With magnetic stop.
A minor curve here: The headset does not include the USB-C cable, which you will need to charge. We hope that most people will have one at this point, so it is probably a good way to reduce waste, but it is worth being aware, especially for apples who have not upgraded yet.
Audio for gaming
The spatial audio actually shines on this updated headset, with full support for Dolby Atomos, as long as you are connected to an Xbox series S/X and the game you are playing supports it.
I spent some time released recently Indiana Jones and The Great Circle ,8/10, wired review), Which has an extraordinary soundtrack and wide game audio. The sound isolation on the headset helped to make the vocal of his fist and the lack of rocks and leaves under my feet look super real. Even the music felt especially detailed and fine, clean through the sound of dialogue and game.
