I hear mixed things about it. I wanted them but since they’re 100$, it’s hard to drop that much since I heard some people talking about the sound quality and comfortability.
I have a Razer Kiara wireless and having annoying issues with it, most of the time when I turn it on to connect to the Xbox it does that "connect disconnect" loop issue and now I'm having issues whenever it disconnects when no sound is played normally, I reconnected it and said I have no mic. I had to restart my Xbox to fix it, I just need a new wireless headset that is worth buying.
My Gen 1 Wireless Headset are on its last legs and are going to go out within a few months. I was excited when Xbox announced the new version of these…and then problems started to arise.
Connection issues, Volume issues and Mic issues have been reported yet nobody seems to have a clue on how this is happening. I don’t want to buy this and then come home to a problem that i cannot fix and then I’m out 100$.
It doesn’t help that Microsoft basically discontinued the Gen 1 Headsets so i don’t even have a choice BUT to buy these and pray to god nothing goes wrong.
So, are these things worth it to get or should I just buy another wireless headset from a different manufacturer like HyperX or Steelseries?
Note the old ones are falling apart.
New ones are identical except they lost the green band on the ears. I kinda miss them.
Looking into purchasing one of these. I’ve been looking at a lot of reviews (both videos and written reviews). I see a lot of negatives with the quality of the plastic, especially on Amazon. A ton of people have had the volume nobs fall off, the mic completely cracking and breaking off, and sometimes the battery not recharging or charging at all. Apparently that’s only owning it within 3-7months too.
I’m not using it for gaming really. I only use my Xbox to talk with friends in a party so the bass and sound mixing options mean nothing to me. I just want something wireless to be able to walk around my house and talk in a party chat. I’ve heard these never cut out when using them with an Xbox One (I have a Xbox One X).
Looking for some honest opinions on this product, I would really appreciate it.
I'm looking for a good decent headset for gaming on my Series X. I almost never game in parties with others, only with Fall Guys with my girlfriend and sister, but that's it.
However, I am looking for a headset that gives good enough sound for a good experience during atmospheric games like Scorn or Alien Isolation.
The Xbox wireless headset seems very interesting and seems like a smart buy. It is within my price range (I think 100 euros is more than enough money for a headset). I also looked at the Razer Blackshark V2 X, the Logitech G433 and the Steelseries Arctis 3.
Can you guys give me advice and your opinion on the Xbox Wireless headset (and possibly the other headsets I mentioned)
I’m currently thinking about buying the official xbox headset because its wireless and it has a pretty low price for wireless headsets. Do you guys have other recommendations for wireless xbox headsets for around the same price point?
I was thinking of getting a wireless headset as wired ones don’t seem to last so i was wondering what the best one would be in your opinion.
IGN says the best one is the Turtle Beach Stealth 500 but i haven’t heard many people talk about it so i was wondering if there is anything better or if the stealth 500 would be just fine
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
Hello everyone,
Looking into getting a wireless headset for my series x. Been looking at the current headsets out there and a couple caught my eye.. currently looking at the Turtle beach 700 gen 2 max or the Kiara pro.
Any opinions or thoughts? Recommendations?
Thanks.
I’ve been using a wired headset that plugs into the Xbox controller for the longest time but it’s starting to show its age so I wanted to upgrade to a wireless headset.
Bought the Microsoft wireless headset cause I saw it had good review on Amazon, target, etc. and it sounded good when I first started using it, then I got into a party with my friends and they said my mic sounded terrible. After looking for a solution on reddit it seems that the consensus is that the mic is just bad so fair enough I didn’t research enough and returned it.
Looked into what wireless headset actually had a “good” mic and settled on the Arctic Nova 7x which was almost double the price of the Microsoft wireless headset. And again it sounded good but as soon as I got into an Xbox party I was told my mic sounded terrible, I even tried updating the headset and tinkering around with the settings on the Steelseries app on PC to try to make it better, but I was told no matter what I do, my wired mic sounded WAY better.
So what’s the deal? Are all wireless headsets like this or am I just really unlucky? now I’m just looking to get a new wired headset cause I’m tired of gambling on wireless and trying to make it work.
Hey folks,
Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a decent wireless headset that will function with my Xbox Series S and my PC.
I want to be able to use them fairly seamlessly and not have to mess around with dongles and wires etc. I won’t need to use them simultaneously but I want the new headset to function well when gaming on Xbox or PC.
I’ve seen a few comments about the Official Xbox Wireless headset and was encouraged by the dual functionality, but went on to read that there’s a significant audio delay that’s noticeable when playing certain games (FPS etc). Given that I play alot of CoD and Overwatch, this was quite concerning.
I also saw comments about the Arctis Nova 7 but many saying the microphone is awful and that people have to shout to be heard in games.
Budget is probably maximum £200.
Any advice is welcomed!
I don't think I have a big head. I've never had an issue in the past 20 years with headsets.
But I bought the new wireless headset yesterday and after only about 30 minutes the top my head felt like I had a knife going through it.
I kept loosening it all night long you never got any better. Side pressure from the ear cups was very tight as well.
Sound was good. I downloaded the Dolby app right away. I'm hoping these loosen up a bit because I don't think I'll be able to live with these.
I see a lot of people complaining about theirs and as someone who wants to get one, I would love to hear from you guys about both the good and the bad.
What has been your experience with your new Xbox Wireless Headset?
Edit: I don't understand why people downvote the post for no reason, thank you to everyone who commented and please keep sharing your experience.
Good so far. I’m coming from a wired Razer Kraken, which is almost at same price and class.
Love Bluetooth 4.2, I can play audio on my phone and Xbox at the same time.
I love, love the scrolling volume wheels like what the Surface Headphones had.
Haven’t found the perfect EQ so far, but sound is pretty nice for a headphone at this price point.
I really like them so far, especially the dual wireless support which isn’t something you would see on any other headsets at this price point I guess. The only thing what bothers me though is that the in-game sound volume is decreasing significantly once I use the mic to chat over Bluetooth (Discord on phone for example) and I wasn’t able change that yet and it‘s far to low even with in-game volume set to max.
Why does Xbox require a special wireless headset? What all is it needed for? Can I still use audio for it and I just won’t get chat? Or will I get no audio at all?
I'm currently looking for a headset for the Xbox. In the price range of 60-120€. I attach a lot of importance to the sound and the microphone. Are there any good headsets in this price range and which ones would you recommend?
