You can’t go wrong with the honesty and this, my friend, is why he’s my go to guy for reviews.

Exactly what I need today! Was going to wait to see if the wire Xbox headset are better then wireless ones. Now I know which one to buy!

I've been waiting for this for a long time.

This headset is $74 in Canada and I managed to to grab it for $48. You'll have to pause some games and adjust the sound in game menus, but other than that the headset is great🤟.

I have this headset, and you're right with the sound. I have a elite 2 and play on series S, and the sound for my games is fine, but if I use them on my PC to listen to reg vids or music... not great. I have also noticed that if I use a different controller the sound is pretty bad too. idk what makes the difference with the elite 2.

I have this one. It is very underwhelming……until you use it with Dolby or DTS X spatial audio. It’s a complete beast afterwards. By itself, it sounds like a 50 dollar set, but using one of the surround sound apps really unlocks it’s potential. Since then I use them with console and pc gaming exclusively. I hope you give them a try.

So awesome, mine are here tomorrow, I'm bald and couldnt be more excited! Gotta use with Dolby! Great stuff!!

If you plug it into like a turtle beach amp allows you to control game and chat volume and you can tweak eq with adobe atmos.

Great review! Helped me pick out my headset just this morning 🎉 I enjoyed this almost as much as I enjoy peanut butter!

Got this one on sale at Target for around $50 I believe and couldn’t be happier!

Not bothered about lack of EQ settings because all games I play support Atmos. Will probably pick this over wireless - one less thing to charge and won't die on me if I go a few months without gaming.

I bought a refurb wireless one for that price :) the headset was flawless

@The Techne You should review the new Razer Kaira X for Series X and compare it to the BlackShark v2 X ! Great review.

Thank you so much!! I just bought the wired version...decided to look up reviews before I opened the box. Seen your review and IMMEDIATELY went back and exchanged them for the wireless headset. Love these headphones! Thank you!

on PC I would assume you can just tweak the EQ on what I would assume is Realtek in their software.. 99% PCs use realtek and depending the chip you can get some great sound out of them if you tweak the eq in the software.. if you have a Asus motherboard their front end is great

You got some great in depth reviews! I can tell you're passionate about it

How can I fix the constant disconnecting on the series X controller? The headphones whenever I use my phone near it, the connection will stagger

Is the mute button up or down ? Also for the wireless version I don’t ever see them in stores anymore all I see is the wired one. Me personally I like the wired ones better vs wireless. Granted I haven’t opened my wireless ones up yet I just use my wired ones.

which ones do you recommend more? these headsets or astro a 10 gen 2? I found them at Walmart for the same price and I would like to know which one is more worth it

I have the headset but the problem is that the mic is so low despite all of my settings being max, is there any way to fix this or any settings to change?

Hey would you recommend these or the Logitech g355 for an Xbox series S?

Love having my headphones wired, personally. Good to know about these and how they perform

Hello i have owned the wirless version of this headset since release and its so amazing but i only have 4 complaints. The weight. 1, its very heavy an hurts my head rlly bad to wear after about 3 hours. 2 the battery life. it says its suppose to last a very long period as mine only last maybe 8 hours tops. and 3 theres no aux jack so if ur headset is almost dead u really have to plug in your headset top continue to play. and the final 4 is the mic. after so long of me moving it up and down if i try to put the headset up an the mic will drop.

Which wicked ear cushions do you order for the wireless ones cheers

That's ashame, I was hoping they'd be good but glad you made a review, i'll stick with my Steelseries.

The headset is not responsible for you configuring your audio settings correctly. The first thing I always do is turn down in-game sound effects to 70% or so so you can hear voices better during battle. The game should also support ducking if it's worth anything at all

I need a wireless/wired headset is there any universals out there???

Just found out you can adjust the low volume for the wired in settings

Do the wireless ones have an option to use them wired? There is no way I'm gonna keep an eye on two batteries.

So grateful for the exact measurements and weight of the headphones. Much appreciated 🥴

This may sound stupid but is there a way that I can use a headset just for the microphone? I want to be able to use my sound bar for the sound only

5:09 mic test

What if you tweak the audio through the fox system. Did that help any?

I just sat the headset back down in best buy. Thank you so much

How do they compare against Razer v2 x im stuck between both of them

Thank you I'm young and I wanted a honest review of these to see so I will save up 40 extra dollars for wireless

Worth to buy? How audio quality? in Lithuania 40 euros

Works on ten series s right?

I got em today. For some reason I can mess with audio settings. And people can hear me in party chat but I can’t hear the game or other people in the party. I made sure my controller is up to date and I’ve tried plugging the headset into other stuff and still no dice. For reference I am using an elite 2 controller

110% agree great game, i finish yesterday on pc. I wait for the review of corsair m65 ultra

Are they better than the Logitech G435 Lightspeed wireless?

How does this compare to the blackshark v2x?

Wait you don't use the og mic that came with the first Xbox 1?

Can you give us the settings for that headset I have it & I need help with the audio settings

100000%. I have the Arctis 9x and I use these over the steelseries 90% of the time. This headset rocks for the price!

Great review as usual!, if I may share a comment, on the wireless one it still baffles me why would Microsoft not include a 3.5mm jack to use it in Wired mode

Do you have an old computer that you dont use?

will they crack like the razer krakens?

Hey is there anyway to fix the problem where your friends in party chat can hear everything that is happening in your game ? I already tried turning off mic monitoring and messing with the settings but nothing seems to work

What’s funny is he likes the wireless after setting up the eq but didn’t get into that with the wired version. I got the wired version and I bought Dolby atmos when it was on sale and honestly I was blown away. Say what you will about the stock sound and I agree it’s really bad but atmos is the only app that gives you the ability to fix that bad sound. Try it out and if you don’t like it just return it.

the wired version of any wireless device is the exact same thing, except better. wireless is a way to charge people who dont consider purchases more, for a lesser product. where do you use a wireless headset? where do you use a wireless mouse? wireless keyboard? all are within 10 feet from the device theyre connected to 99% of the time, the reason people choose wireless, is they dont like the cord in their way, but it is Never a 'the wireless version performs better' , because the wired Ver is always better

Where did you get your Xbox t shirt?

I don't know if it's a new option but you can customize the volume of the headset to your prefenrence. I think it's a very good option nowadays 😊

What website did you grab your ear cushions from? The wireless ones.

Have you thought about doing reviews on headphones people use for gaming that aren't "gaming headsets" ? My setup is a pair of Phillips SHP9500's with a v-moda boom pro for my mic, and my girlfriend uses a pair of Audio Technica ATH-sr6btbk's, also with a v-moda boompro. I think it'd be cool to show off some "set-ups" that are a bit different, and to see how you like'em as well

Might pick these up for my switch and for wired play with my Xbox and ps5

I’ve had nothing but problems with the wireless ones so I got my money back and the razor kairas do not regret a thing not a problem at all

Another quality review brother of yet another relevent product... Will stick with my Steelseries Arctis 9X for now which you advised me on... Now I know you like your Xbox controllers (I have seen the videos) what about a top 5 or top 3 review for premium Xbox controllers have looked back on all your content and can't seem to see controllers just headsets...

Can it be used for PlayStation

one more recommendation for $60 headset is the Razer Blackshark V2x which has been selling for less than $45 for a long while now on amazon, probably the best budget headset right now

Just picked these up and I enjoy them very much 😊

how do u connect the wired to your xbox and is there any where u can charge it?

Does anybody know if their is a way to make your audio for others louder. Everybody I join in chat says I sound very low or far away from the mic but I can’t adjust it

I have this + a NACON controller which has a handshake with Dolby Atmos

Can I plug it to my ps5 controller

Well, glad to say I canceled my order for the wired one and got the wireless one for just $30, thank you for the honesty!

What about the hyperx cloudx?

I have the wireless but my chat mixer is grey out and can’t hear the game only the chat

I think Xbox and PlayStation killed it with 1st party headsets this time around, only complaints I have on the Xbox headset is having the volume adjustments being giant knobs on the side it’s pretty easy to turn it down or up when you have to set your headset down for a minute, otherwise it’s perfect!

I would get the wired one because. The wired ones supports lossless audio wireless just can’t do lossless at least not yet. It has to get compressed to lossy and also then gains extra latency and that for me at least just out weighs the eq adjustment or whatever you said.

sucks that they gimped the wired ones. I prefer wired over wireless. The battery in the wireless one will probably die one day and thats why I try to buy Wired when it's not too much of a hassle (wired ones just connect straight to your controller)

Got a pair and my only issue was the mic didn't pick up my voice as well as other cheaper options. Basically useless if it's late night and you live with anyone trying to sleep

what is your fav nongaming headset to use for gaming?

How are they for spatial awareness? I.e surround sound 5.1 and 7.1? I know they support dolby Amos, DTS and SONIC.

Should I get the razer blackshark v2 pro now? They are on sale (50 dollars cheaper) and I need a new premium headset

Does the wireless version sound and mic come close to the Arctics 9x after adjusting the EQ? I'm torn bc by the time you buy that headset and earcups your starting to get closer to that 9X price. I know it's still less but it just adds cost.

Can you maybe review the traitor Kabuki keycaps?

I can’t even get volume on mine. I have it turned all the way up and I can barely hear anything.

Another video , nice

I wanted to know if the wire will come off ?

Can't u tweak the iq with dolby atmos???

Doing the lord's work 😎❤️

You can mess with the audio settings on the wired version in the audio settings

Love the content!! You should review th Lucid sound LS series!!

So I got a turtle beach recon 70 and it causes echos from my others friends point of view. I was looking at these comments and hear wireless or wired is good I don’t know officially what to get. And does this mic cause any echo issues in general?

Just got mine. They are bad out the box. You need the dolby atmos app. Turn down the bass and their very good for the price. Bad out the box though

Love the sound but I find these to be super warm on my head/ears - gets a bit uncomfortable after an hour or so. Maybe swapping out the ear pads would help.

Can you listen the game or just the chat ?

Thank to be honest with us!

For me the mic is extremely quiet, and I don't know why. Does anyone know any fixes?

Does it have mic monitoring?

I've been seeing these for less than 30 bucks on Amazon and I'm almost buying one

I like there Xbox headphones but they can upgrade wireless version just putting a aux jack on it then it will be used as wired and wireless

Which Wicked Cushions fit on the Xbox wireless headset? I went on the site and didn't find specific ones for that headset. Would they have some for the astro A20? Thanks.

Is it really worth it?

I didn't like them, I mean the wireless version, they were giving me a headache and the sound adjustments in the os pissed me off...

I honestly don’t have any issues with these!

I just spent like 30 min at GameStop browsing head sets. I told the guy I wanted one that was 100 dollars because I've always gotten like 20 dollar ones my whole life and never really tried to get good quality ones , like as long as I had something o talk with I was good. So for once boe rhat I have some extra money I wanted to invest in something high quality but the only ones for 100 there are wireless and personally I'm not a fan of the thought of having to charge my head set in the middle of using them. Sure its not likely they will die during use because I only play like 3 to 5 hours tops usually but Id rather avoid that all together so he pointed these out to me. They were the most expensive ones that are wired. Hoping they are good. I'm at work so I haven't used them yet

Amazimg review, i tried to buy but u canceled My order What is best option in 60$ budget?
