I personally use the official Xbox wireless headset with a bunch of all the Dolby stuff and the sound and mic are beyond amazing and you don't need those dongles. Sorry I don't know much but I like it and it works for me. Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

r/XboxSeriesX on Reddit: Xbox Wireless Headset Recommendations
November 17, 2023 -

Hi I wanted to know what you guys recommend for an Xbox wireless Headset that won’t break the bank? I’ve had the Rig 800LX headset since 2020 and it’s been giving me problems with the disconnecting and mic not working but other then that the sound and comfort is great. Was just looking into getting a new pair for my Xbox series x. I’ve been looking at the Steel Series Arctis 9X and Arctis Nova 7X, Rig 800 Pro HX, Corsair HS80, and the Raizer Kaira Pro. I wanted a great sounding, great quality, comfortable, and Dolby atmos equipped headset. The 800LX does everything amazing except for the connection issues. Not sure if the new Rig headsets have the same issue or not or if I should just go with another brand

I have a Razer Kiara wireless and having annoying issues with it, most of the time when I turn it on to connect to the Xbox it does that "connect disconnect" loop issue and now I'm having issues whenever it disconnects when no sound is played normally, I reconnected it and said I have no mic. I had to restart my Xbox to fix it, I just need a new wireless headset that is worth buying.

As the title says, money is no object what headset are you buying? I'm so sick of Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 max and the volume wheels crapping out every 3 months and I want to move to the best headset I can get.

Most reviews have the following: Audeze Maxwell ASTRO A50x Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Steel series arctis nova pro

I'm a couch player so no wired headsets - battery life somewhat matters to me but if the difference is 30hrs versus 80hrs I don't care if the other features are better on the shorter life one. Otherwise sound quality and ease of use are paramount.

Hey all,

A few months ago, I bought the official xbox wireless headset for my series s. Immediately, it started have problems like cutting out occasionally, distorting the sound, and disconnecting my controller. I don't think the headset was defective, but I live in a dense apartment complex with a lot of wifi signals. These probably caused interference, which is unavoidable in my situation.

I would like a new headset, but I'm afraid that anything I buy will have the same issue. Can anyone speak to a headset (wireless or wired to the controller) they are using that works consistently in an apartment setting?

I'm looking for some new headphones/ head set to use when I play on the XBOX, ideally wireless and comfortable as I usually play for hours at a time. Any recommendation please, the ones I currently have are just from Amazon and the audio quality isn't great. I've seen these ones reviewed by one of the gamers I watch, let me know your recommendations though please. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxyGDpTNr5R/

October 22, 2024 - I use the Arctis Nova 7X headset and it’s pretty good. A bit expensive (think they were $150 or so) but they’ve been good to me. These seem like a solid deal at $100 though. ... I have the arctic nova 7p and the Xbox version one.

r/XboxSeriesX on Reddit: Xbox wireless headset is actually good- like really really good

Just thought I’d share my personal experience with the Xbox wireless headset.

I have a PS5 and a Series X, my ps5 I’m using the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2’s (after trying out the arctis 7p, pulse 3d and Razer black shark pro) I really enjoyed the sound and simplicity of the turtle beach and how powerful the 50mm drivers are.

When I was getting a headset for the series x, I tried the Arctis 7X, turtle beach stealth 600 gen 2, Razer Kaira pro, and finally the official Xbox wireless headset.

In terms of sound quality, the Arctis 7X, Razer Kaira Pro, and Xbox Wireless sound very similar. I think the Arctis 7X has the best directional audio, and the Razer Kaira Pro feeling the most powerful in terms of bass. But there was something about how crystal clean and gentle sounding the Xbox Wireless sounded that truly sold me. What I mean by gentle sounding, it is by no means weak sounding, when you crank the volume up it THUMPS during action scenes. I was actually quite surprised considering the drivers are 40mm. But what made this headset differ from the others was how clean and natural the sound is. It just doesn’t feel compressed at all. Straight out of the box and I have not adjusted a single setting yet and it sounds wonderful. I can’t explain it, it just sounds so natural and comfortable.

Also the mic is excellent. My friends tell me that they can hear me crystal clear. They said that it’s much better that the turtle beach and also better than the arctis 7X. EDIT - In the last few days a few of my friends have said that my mic picked up a lot of background feedback. Increasing the mic threshhold in COD did help this a bit, but now I can't speak gently for the mic to pick up my voice. I still have not figured out a way to fix it for Xbox party chat

I’m still getting used to the knobs on the side and learning how to work with it, I haven’t even touched the EQ settings yet. I just genuinely think this headset is perfect. Even how the knobs on the side twist is very unique.

Comparing the pulse 3d I think this headset blows it out of the water for an official console branded headset.

But yea I give this headset a solid 9/10 if not more. Even the leather headband is more comfy than the arctis headband.

My only concern is it does in fact look like it can break rather easy so I will do my best to take extra care of it. Also got the 2 year warranty so I’m not worried.

Just thought I’d share my honest review of this headset as I usually have a bunch of negative things to say about my electronics and it’s very rare to find a headset that was this problem free right out of the box

August 12, 2023 - Why people seem to be sleeping on the official headsets is a mystery, they’re honestly better than the majority of the third-party offerings out there and the value for money is actually incredible. More replies ... I came here to recommend the same thing! The Xbox one’s are great! They have features that others don’t even have… they connect directly to the Xbox like a wireless Xbox controller and you can turn your system on by turning on the headset just like a controller.

r/XboxSeriesS on Reddit: Any recommendations on a WIRED headset that plugs directly into the controller and actually works?
July 11, 2025 -

This is the 3rd wireless headset that has just been garbage for some reason. Currently I’m using a SteelSeries set and I’m having to either reset my console, or move the stupid dongle piece into one of the various usb ports, or turn my headset on and off over and over until it finally works. Then like 90% of the time I can’t use the volume mixer at all and my headset is quiet as hell.

Can anyone recommend a headset that just plugs right into the controller? Wired only. I don’t want USB receivers or Bluetooth or having to plug something into something else into something else into my Xbox to hope it works.
