Today we take a look at the Xbox Wireless Headset and see how it stacks up when compared to other gaming-centric models like the SteelSeries Arctis 9X or the rivals Sony 3D Pulse. Is it worth the purchase?

All my buds tell my my voice sounds a bit muffled. Noticeable latency when connected to my series X, as well. Disabling the Dolby effects helps but it’s still not as fast as my wired-to-controller set up

This might be niche but,can you do a list of headsets that are good for working from home? Like my issue is I can't do wireless because I don't want to deal with charging the battery and more emphases on comfort and phone calls.

Have 2 of these in the house. Both have smooth dials. I really like the build quality over the Turtle Beach 600 gen 2 that I had. The stock profile I don't like but love that you can customize with the equalizer settings. I would like it if you could disable the function that turns on the xbox when ever you turn on the headphones. Also I would prefer the mic to just flip up to turn off instead of a button. Probably more based on habit to me more than design. Over all I am very happy with them. Also like that you can link to phone and xbox at the same time. Now I wont have to hear my sons friend that plays keyboard and mouse. He can simple link the headset to the phone. :)
@ArcadianGenesis
@ArcadianGenesis Жыл бұрын
The thing is, you can just leave the mic flipped up at all times, and it still captures sound perfectly. It's not even necessary to put it directly in front of your mouth.

If these Headphones 🎧 are a strong 6 & barely a 7... The other headphones that's unanimously better gots to b nothing short of symphonic & beastly because I own these the wireless Xbox Headset & these bitches are extremely spectacular! I sync it to my phone (which has Dobly Atmos) & Xbox & I'm blow away by the sound quality! With my personal EQ settings these headphones are all I'll ever need to game with ‼️ they so KOLD to me, I recommend them time & time again! I be on the Xbox, in a party(5+ppl), watching cut scenes, answering calls talking to ppl in the party & ppl on the call simultaneously where as if I wanted to let em, the ppl in da party could hear my convo, in a clubhouse & then listen to KZfaq videos, for hours & not one problem. Shitz, sublime🔥. Truly. Only thing they could of did to make em perfect is better range.. I go maybe 20 steps away & they start to lose connection to the game. 😅 But I make in range b4 it needs to reconnect to the Xbox but stays connected to my phone. Lastly, it's really jus crazy that not only does it sync to the Xbox automatically & cut on the Xbox when I turn the headphones on, I could disconnect em from my Xbox & then use em as regular wireless headphones that can pair to 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously like my phone 📱 & laptop 💻 or headset in one room & Bluetooth speaker 🔊 in another. Mann, what more do u need. My overall grade in a 11/10 💪🏾. Ez ‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mine won’t connect to my Xbox anymore after 2 hours of use unless I restart my xbox. Just makes a glitched sound when it connects and turns off, only a full power cycle of my console resolves the issue but comes back again after it turns off. Really disappointing
