The new official headset for Xbox Series X|S, and other Microsoft platforms, is a no-frills, high-quality audio device.

The new Xbox Wireless Headset is Microsoft’s flagship audio device for the Xbox Series X and its family of consoles. The bottom line is that for $100, this headset delivers almost everything you’d want from high-end audio. It also has some useful features and impressive build quality to boot.

In the video above, we review the Xbox Wireless Headset after spending a few days using it in games such as Gears 5, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Tetris Effect Connected, Forza Horizon 4, and Lost Odyssey. We also cranked up some music to see how the headset handled the finer audio details. Bass sounds bold while mids and highs came through clean, even at higher volumes.

It’s also quite comfortable to use for long sessions, thanks to the pleather upholstery and foam padding on the ear cups–although those with very thick hair or larger heads may have trouble getting these on since they don’t extend that far. You can stretch and twist the headset without worry as well thanks to its durable and flexible frame.

There are other perks like intuitive volume control on the ear cups, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X, a flexible low-profile microphone, and strong battery life. 

Overall, it delivers what you need out of a high-quality gaming headset. For more details on our experience, check out the full Xbox Wireless Headset review: trib.al/YOTL8o0

  1. As soon as you mentioned that it has tight clamping force I have cancelled my order. I will stay with my Arctis 7X, super comfy.
    Thank you for the review, it stoped me from making a mistake. I should have known that you get what you pay for.

  2. How the hell can someone who is a gamer and works for GAMESPOT not know that these headsets are made to be “tight” and will loosen up AS THEY STRETCH TO THE USERS HEAD. I mean really? Smh

  3. The hell with that. With the train wreck that was the first wave of Elite Series 2 controllers (buttons that died, Blu Tooth not working, etc) it isn't worth it. I will just wait until a few months later when they fix the issues

  4. Genuinely confused why people are asking how they compare to 3x more expensive headsets, like if you have a working set of headphones you don't need another? Weird flexing or just brand simps 🤷‍♂️

  5. Generally not a fan of completely plastic design as I find they tend not to last much longer than about a year. But it can be hard to find something for around $100 that's any better, particularly with wireless.

  6. Does the chat mix control work for Bluetooth as well? (elaborating: I assume it works for game vs Xbox chat when using a single connection, but does it also work for game vs Discord when connected to the Xbox and my phone at the same time?)

  7. It needs to be said that this headset only works with Xbox and there is no way to connect it to any PlayStation. Might sound obvious but people with both systems may want to know. It will connect to PC via Bluetooth only. There is no audio cable port on the headset.
