Рет қаралды 91,284
Күн бұрынI've been rocking the Xbox Wireless Headset for 6 months now so it was time to do my long term review and let you know everything there is to know from someone who has been using them on the daily. I run them flat many times and played many types of games with them. Find out how they stacked up in my long term review 6 months later!

😍I had watched many review so I decided to buy this headset. I was a bit hesitant, but now that is arrived I am very positive about it. First its heavy you gonna feel it, but also comfortable at the same time?! Its mostly plastic but the structure very solid, no cracking or loose parts. I wish I could wear around my neck but I am too big. Never mind. The most worried I was about sound: everywhere I watched a review they said its bass heavy, so my first thing was to customize the EQ. The sound blow me away! Before I had a 10 dollar earplug so its a big upgrade! I tried on Iphone was listening to songs and very good quality. I say its a 8.5/10 very satisfied with it!

Well you helped me decide today. You are the only one from all the videos I watched that mentioned that you can charge it and use it at the same time. Thank you Sr. That was the deciding factor for me. Sounds like a great buy for the price and features. Too bad you didn't have a link to buy from. I see they are low on stock.

Great video, one thing I have to say about mine (also day one) is the sound isolation. The pleather earpads block out everything! It's a double edged blade, on one hand it keeps the sound of traffic etcetera at bay, but on the other hand, if anyone is trying to talk to you whilst you're wearing them (without mic mirroring) well, they can forget it, especially if you have music playing... So far mine has been worth every damn cent of the $149, and because I pre-ordered mine through Microsoft themselves, I was able pay a heap of it down with gift cards from my Microsoft Rewards points. one more thing, regarding the USB type C, the location seems silly being towards the rear of the ear cup, but if you use a right angle cable the position is perfect for corded usage, and it works just fine using a USB cable to operate corded with a PC.

I think that's a super fair review. They're not the best headset for any particular thing, but factoring in - 1) a wireless headset; 2) with auto-mute; 3) with a pretty solid EQ; 4) with dual-pairing modes (1 BT device and 1 Xbox Wireless device); 5) with decent audio quality especially when you tinker with the EQ to your liking 6) with Dolby Atmos support; 7) with great mic quality considering it's a BT headset…all for only $100? That's absolutely fair. Jack of all trades, master of none.

@TheGeekZone 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, absolutely! In order to connect it to the PC though in that instance you would need to purchase the Xbox wireless dongle. The headset can pair to two devices at once but only on the two separate channels. One is bluetooth and the other is the Xbox Wireless protocol. You cannot connect to two bluetooth devices at the same time unfortunately. You're other option if you don't mind wires is use a USB-C cable to the PC.
@Jordan-jh2mu Жыл бұрын
This headset is perfect for me because I can hear the game audio on Xbox and can chat with my friends on Discord via my Mac simultaneously. The only issue I've had is that the headset, by design, turns on the Xbox which doesn't suit me. I turn on the headset to use with my Mac sometimes and it turns on the Xbox 🤦♂ then I turn the Xbox off and sometimes the headset turns off with the console! I'm hoping that they add a setting to disable this feature in the future but I'm not hopeful because it's been over a year 😥 I'm guessing this isn't a priority for them or isn't considered an issue
@YoloVib3s 2 жыл бұрын
I've had the headset since launch & I love the features. What I don't like is the constant connectivity issues. I exclusively use mine on PC using the XBOX wireless dongle. I keep the dongle within 2 feet of me via an extension cable because when I had it plugged directly into the PC it was even worse. I keep getting constant static, & sound cutting out completely most times. It's completely updated on firmware & I've even hard reset a few times. Nothing works ... I'm at my wits end with this and looking for a good replacement.

Lots of things make sense for Xbox right now and it's why I decided to go from PS4 to Xbox Series X for main console this generation.

There was 2 main things I did to sound proof. As I converted my garage into my studio is had concrete flooring and carpet was needed for that. I just bought carpet tiles online and covered the whole garage. I think I used about $90 worth of carpet tiles. And the second part was adding eggshell foam panels to my walls. I used about $80 worth of sound panelling and about $30 worth of glue. So all in all it was pretty inexpensive and had made such a difference.

I'm seeing good reviews on this so far, but Sony has me skeptical when it comes to official manufacturer console headsets (they were great in the beginning when they worked).

You may need to purchase a longer USB-C cable, though, as the one included with the headset for charging purposes is only 14 inches long.

Question about the headset, if it was last connected to the PC or a phone through bluetooth and you turn it off. When you turn it on again, will it automatically turn the xbox back on and then connect to the other bluetooth devices? Or can you quick switch back and forth like the controllers?
@TheGeekZone 2 жыл бұрын
It will connect to the both sources simultaneously. Turn on the xbox and connect to the bluetooth device if in range.

The chat dial on the left doesn't do that. It will only isolate xbox party chat from game audio. In order to lower or raise bluetooth music you need to control it via the device.

I have the steel series 7x and a lot of my friends or random people always say "can you stop breathing in your mic?" or 'turn off your fan??' lol. So I just have to move the mic a little further out than i used to with other headsets. Have you had any issues like that with this headset?
@TheGeekZone 2 жыл бұрын
It is a very sensitive mic so if you are playing in a noisy environment your friends will hear it all. Obviously you can position the mic around a bit so if you are a heavy breather it should be fine.

I heard that when u start Charing these things they turn on the Xbox. Is that issue solved? U know the problem? Maybe it only happened when I charge the true the Xbox USB port but that’s the way I would charge them I guess
@TheGeekZone 2 жыл бұрын
Yes if you plug in either a controller or headset to the xbox to charge it will turn them on. There are two ways around this. Either plug them in before turning off the xbox or use an external charger. I have a multicharger I use to charge all of my devices and just plug in there. No issue for me.

I've just bought this headset. However, for some reason, their mic does not work on windows 10 while connected via bluetooth. On xbox it works fine though. Upsetting, since I hoped I would be able to work with these heads, not only using for Xbox. Probably Xbox adapter should fix the thing, but it makes no sense buying all these stuff just to have a wireless bluetooth supporting headset being connected to a PC to make the mic work. Do you know the fix to this problem? Thanks for the video!
@TheGeekZone 2 жыл бұрын
It should work. I believe I even tested that in the early days. I know I use it to talk on the phone sometimes and that's over bluetooth so should 100% work. I imagine there is probably some setting for the source of your microphone which may need changing.

I had one big issue with those. Clamping force pushing frame of my glasses to the skin behind my ear. Am i the only one facing this? Is there any way to make this manageable? Will it go away with time?
@TheGeekZone 2 жыл бұрын
I don’t wear glasses so can’t comment on that aspect but I can compare it to heaps of other headphones. I don’t find clamping force too bad and the cushions are really spongy. I thought that would have allowed the arms of your glasses to pass through easily.

I've just bought this, but the connectivity i can't work out, i have an LG oled tv with Bluetooth and an xbox connected to that tv, i can pair the headset to the xbox and have updated the firmware, i also want to connect via Bluetooth via the the LGTV so i can listen to TV only, i can pair successfully with the TV, but it always reverts to the xbox. If i press the green power button the headset goes off, if xbox is off and i press the headset power button it will power on the xbox and sync with that, how do i go from my tv to xbox to win10 pc without the xbox taking over the connection?
@TheGeekZone 2 жыл бұрын
OK so this is not going to the answer you are looking for but unfortunately the headset is not designed to "switch" between audio sources. All connected devices are played through the system at the same time. Turning on the headset will power on the xbox everytime. You can then proceed to power off the xbox or just leave it on.

@@TheGeekZone Thanks for the reply, yeah sucks that Xbox takes over full control of the headset, hopefully Xbox could put in a settings option where the headset power button could be toggled to off for powering up the Xbox if so desired.
