The Official Xbox Wireless Headset Review - Everything You Need to Know!

- This was a surprise headset! I knew Microsoft would make a good value wireless headset here, especially when you consider it supports Bluetooth at a $100 price point. It's lightweight, comfortable, and has acceptable sound quality once you tune the headset by significantly reducing bass. It's not quite as clear as the Stealth 600 Gen 2 but it gets quite loud. Just because you have a $100 budget doesn't mean you're stuck with a budget headset.

Awesome video!
Looking forward to trying your EQ settings, thanks for sharing.
What are your headphones settings within the DolbyAtmos app? Do you have Performance turned on?
Thanks! Dolby Atmos enabled - Game Mode+Performance. Nothing else needed there. Otherwise these still work incredibly well with Atmos off too.
Wow these settings ARE Mint!
Microsoft owes you $99 because I was about to return them! TY
@@MC-jb9uf I'm glad you like the new settings. I spent hours playing different music tracks and games making small adjustments until it sounded "right" with everything I was throwing at it.
Love the video and the settings You came up with.
Just to let you know I'm part of the insider's program there was already a firmware update today that fixes many of the Bluetooth connectivity issues plus it gets rid of the reduction of volume of your game when you connect to voice.
@@GadgetryTech Hey man. Thanks for this, really. When you play WZ, what audio mix are you using?
Your review was wayyy better than Linus’s review, his literally seemed like he didn’t care about the review, thank you
Thanks Thomas!
Bro, exactly this!
Bro, Fr. His review seemed really half assed, got lazy half way through the review bc he couldn’t get past his audio snobbiness.
Please note, that it was unboxed on ‘Short circuit’, which is a first impressions channel.
NOT a review. *
Probably because it wasn’t a review, it was an unboxing and first impression video lol
Dude this was an awesome review. I have watched over 10 reviews (even some of the more "popular" RUclipsrs) and their reviews SUCK. I felt that they took the headphones out of the box, didn't play with or change any of the settings, and gave it their review. Also, none of them gave any tips (as detailed as yours) on how to improve the performance. Again . . .AWESOME REVIEW! Becoming a subscriber to your channel now.
Thank you so much for the support and kind words Gabe I appreciate it!
This is easily the best and most detailed review I've seen on this. I actually watched the entire thing and was not sleepy nor did I get sleepy. Solid and very informative review. I've watched others where they just talk about now nice they look and sound more like a car salesman. This review did not sound like that at all.
Thanks Sonic! I try to make reviews that cover the details I'm interested in learning lol. I'm glad people are enjoying this format! I appreciate the support!
Thank you for a great review. Very informative about EQ settings tips.
Best review I've seen of these by far. Just ordered mine, thank you!
I really like your headset reviews. They are detailed and informative enough without diving in too deep into the audiophile perspective. Your ability to explain things effectively yet thoroughly is impressive. It is great that you have also reviewed some headset brands that are not so widely known, such as LucidSound headsets. For example your Xbox headset comparison had a really good variety of headsets and therefore it was one of the best - if not the best - available on RUclips in my opinion. I prefer your presentation over many of the other reviewers as well - personally, I hate the wannabe gangsta style that the RUclips reviewers often seem to be fond of. I can see that your way of presentation pleases more mature audience like myself. Keep up the good work! :)
Anssi, thank you so much for the kind words. I truly appreciate it! I have a habit of talking too much/going down a rabbit hole when I talk about products so I often edit a lot out haha. I appreciate the support!
great EQ setting, thx dude. I enjoy the headset so much more now :)
Good to hear!
Hey man great vids and thanks for the EQ configuration. My headset arrived yesterday and i used your config this morning on warzone and sound quality was amazing. I also paired them with my phone to use discord along with game chat simultaneously and was blown away at how well it worked.
this is a great review. I have watched a lot of reviews on this headset and yours is hands down the best. thanks for taking the time to review them - I am buying a set!
Thanks for the review. I ordered my headset from the Microsoft store this evening. Also thanks for sharing the EQ settings. I'll make sure to.adjust the settings on my headset accordingly.
Thank you Joe, for yet another impressive review that covered all the key features in details particularly when you share your personal expertise and practical experiences that makes your segments more than insightful and educational to know everything about the product before considering the final purchase.
Thanks to your review I have already pre ordered the B&O Portal even though it’s nearly AUD $850.00 in Australia, best decision I made.
I honestly can’t see why you don’t have more subscribers as the level of details and technical accuracy on your reviews are unprecedented and a welcome change that makes every one of your reviews something to look forward to.
No thrills or gimmicks or theatrics just straight to the point telling it as it is.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you for a straightforward, honest review.
I found this beyond helpful. I have been wanting to get a headset for my new Series X and have been on the fence about a certain few. But after watching this I am leaning a little more towards this headset due to all the cool features including the EQ and overall just great looking controls. You definitely earned a new sub you are fantastic the video was great quality and I really do hope you blow up soon!
A real great review. Very in depth and I formative. I really enjoyed it, a way better review than most out there. You have made my mind up, I'm going to pick up a pair ASAP.. thank you for the fantastic review. 👍👍
Just picked up a pair today. I updated them, installed atmos and WOW!!! Thank you again for making my mind up 😉👍👍👍👍
Best and most thorough review on these I have found yet. I am still struggling with the decision of keeping these or my stealth 600 gen 2. I love the highs and the cloth cups of the gen 2's but I love everything else about the Xbox Wireless.
Thanks Balistik! The 600 Gen 2s are better for hearing footsteps and more accurate positioning. The Xbox headset has bluetooth and the nice ear cups of course, but it doesn't sound as good as the Stealths do.
Excellent review my guy, you got a sub!
Thank you so much for your review! Super informative. Have now subscribed
Excellent video. Very informative. 👍🏼👍🏼
Probably the best review I've seen for this headset
Finally someone talks about game chat mixer it's so clutch
Now THIS is how a product review should be done!
You've just earned yourself a new subscriber!!
Great review, may add it as a 2nd headset with the bluetooth feature!
I just ran across your channel because I was looking for good, detailed, objective reviews of wireless headsets (I really want this one but finding them is about as difficult as finding a Series X [which I'm fortunate enough to already have]). So I've been watching your videos for comparisons in case I decide to buy something else instead of waiting for new stock and all of your videos have been fantastic. You present your information in a concise professional way, cover every topic without extra bullshit, and provide great comparisons. Definitely subscribing to see your other work. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much I really appreciate the kind words. I hope you end up finding/using something you really like in the end. These are great for their price for sure. I like the Stealth 700 Gen 2 a little more overall but of course you have to pay for the improvements.
@@GadgetryTech Great detailed video like all the other ones that I've watched of yours. You also answered my question....whether to get the these headphones or the Stealth 700 G2....I don't mind paying for improvements, but is the Stealth 700 G2 headset better than the Xbox wireless headset when it comes to game sound ie. hearing approaching enemies? Also, how are the Stealth 700 G2 if you wear glasses?...thanks.
Good review! Subscribed
This video was very helpful. Thank you my good sir.
Perfect review man! I just ordered mine! Definitely got a sub!
this is the best review so far i seen on youtube by FAR! so thank you brother. i really was looking to this headset cause i play warzone with alot of PC friends and they party up on discord, and when i see that this headset can be used on 2 devices at the same time, i was like, damn this the one, to play on my xbox series and be on discord with my friends, i notice that u dont recommend that and that is another "way" to do it better, i really would appreciate if u can share ur knowledge on that matter, ty
I enjoy your review and detail on these Xbox series x headsets. I will love to see your video for the top 3 Xbox series x headsets currently no matter the price. It’s been tough finding solid informative unbiased information on this topic
Thanks! I'm likely going to take a tiered approach for Xbox. It's likely going to be the best for $100 or less, $200/300 or less, then any price goes. I can tell you know I think these are one of the best under $100 right now. It get's complicated after that because some people like different features.
Quality review thanks man. Subbed! 👌
I just bought these to run alongside my Steel series 9X. I’m pretty impressed so far. They work well with Atmos. Good review btw
Excellent review
Great video! Going to give those EQ settings a try for PUBG! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks sooooo much for an awesome, honest review! I took a chance BEFORE seeing any reviews and DO love this headset more than my Turtle Beach 700 (Which I thought was impossible)… Lol. Again, THANKS! Great Review!
Is it really better than the turtle beach?
Great review - this really helped me make the decision to purchase one of these and I plan to try your EQ settings. Did you ever make a similar video for the Pulse PS5 headset?
Fantastic review very informative. Have subscribed
Thanks!
Great review
Excellent review, keep it up!
Thanks Tal!
Amazing review
I've been using a50s yesterday I just got a pair of philips shp9500 with a nomad mic and theyre the best headset I've ever used right out box . In warzone footsteps are perfect . THEY ARE NOT BASSY . When you shoot your gun u can still hear everything else perfectly
Great video man. I’m excited to pick mine up from Best Buy.
Thanks! Make sure you tune the EQ and you’ll love them!
Thanks for this review. I was watching a bunch of reviews on RUclips and yours was the only one to truly go in depth with everything..I have a quick question...for the Dolby Atmos. Do you recommend keeping it turned on for all the games? Or do you recommend only turning it on for Dolby Atmos enhanced games?
These headsets are fire man for the price it's jam packed with features even top end headsets dont have..
I like the simplicity of it at 100 it's a great deal.
on point review
Thanks JT!
Damn, im so jealous of the Spartan helmet!
Now this is a good headset review
Thanks Jordan
Awesome review! Thanks for explaining the sound issues and how to fix them. Most of reviews out there just complain about sound muddiness, but no one really tries to solve the problem and leaves bad scores to the sound quality. Really great job!
One additional question:
Given the drivers are tuned up in the EQ and we've got all those neat headset features, does it still make sense to consider any ~150$ Xbox specific headsets (like SteelSeries X9, TurtleBeach 700, Razer Kaira Pro or Corsair HS75)? Let's skip all 200$+ headsets.
I'm about to make a purchase this weekend and based on all reviews, still cannot decide whether it's worth paying extra 50-80$ for the other brands.
I don't really care about medicore microphone, the key thing for me is the sound quality & Bluetooth for phonecalls. Will use the headphones mostly for Xbox single player gaming, RUclips, Netflix and work (video calls on PC). Music is also important (in terms of game background music like epic Doom Eternal soundtrack). Not gonna listen to any Mozart or Opera stuff ;)
PS. I'm currently using HyperX Cloud II and I'm perfectly happy with this level of sound. Just wouldn't like to downgrade.
Thanks for the kind words Pawel! I wouldn’t be looking at the Stealth 700 Gen 2 for better sound (although out of the box it’s better for gaming than this). The justification of the 700 G2 is improved comfort (seriously the ear cups are insanely good), better microphone, and nearly double the battery life. I get almost 30 hours on one charge on the 700. For pure sound and functionality alone the Xbox headset is a great value. It’s up to you on if the other upgrades are worth the price increase or not.
Great review thanks to which I bought these headphones, overall they great but I have one problem. When connected to a bluetooth device I can hear a continuous noise, mostly in the left ear cup, have you noticed similar problem?
I don't consider myself an audiophile but I try to extensively research and look at reviews headphones/sets before I buy them, and your review confirmed my purchase of the 700 gen 2 .
Hands down, you're one of the most comprehensive headphone/headset reviewers out there. Man, you go into such detail when it comes to user experience that other reviewers don't do. And you also continuously compare the sets to others that you've reviewed so we don't have to go looking for "VS" reviews. Keep it up man! I'm definitely watching as much as your stuff that I can
Would be interesting to revisit this 9-12 months later. Have the updates addressed the pain points? Is the bass still OP?
Bought the headset and it’s honestly the best in the price range by far
mute light is what i would think it would be think of a studio the light is on when recording and off when not its the same thing so it makes sense to me.
I just bought these, thanks for amazing review it really helped! Do you recommend buying Dolby atmos license tho?
Yes.
Hey Joe, thank you very much for all the great reviews. Much love for such great content creatir like you :).
Pls can you help me up. I‘m going to buy my first gaming headset and I‘m deciding between stealth 700 gen2 and the official xbox gaming headset. I know that the stealth 700 are more comfortable und has better mic, for me comfortability is really important.
But sound wise, which of this 2 is the better one when it comes to games like cod (warzone) and other fps and battle royal games. The prize difference dousnt really matter. Withiut the prize, what would you recommend or which would you use?
Thanks Noman!! Sorry it took a but to get back to you. I think the 700 has better detail overall, and as you may know the comfort is amazing. The Xbox headset is better value, but the Stealth 700 Gen 2 is a better headset.
Is it worth upgrading to these from Astro a10s sound quality wise?
Question, does the voice isolation work with yours?, I recently got mine and the mic picks up all the background noise, compared to the astro A10, this one falls short when it comes to that.
the chat audio function doesnt work on pc.
tired both bluetooth and wireless adapter
So can I use this on my PC with 2 profiles with the wireless adapter? So I can use the chat/gam e mixer?
It s also missing a noisegate so everithing happening around you can be heard by your friends in game ….etc etc
Great video!! I get mine this Friday!! Where did you get the Halo helmet from?
Thanks Keenan! That came from buying the original collector's edition Halo 3 game back in the Xbox 360 days. Old school
@@GadgetryTech wow that is old school!! But it's nice!!
Hi, nice review. I would like to ask if still those are recommended headset after 2 yr, and if they can be compared to TB Stealth Pro? Is it really worth to pay additional 200USD for TB? Thanks in advance.
Great work man. I watched a lot of reviews of this headset but yours was the best.
I was considering buying this to use on PC to chat and play games but totally forgot that using the mic wirelessly is only possible in this "handsfree headset"mode where the audio quality goes down quite a bit,is that right?
Thank you!
If you use the Xbox Wireless adapter ($25 addon) you can use the mic and headset in full quality on PC. The app on PC will let you customize the headset as well! Only in bluetooth mode will you have the mic quality issue and a slight increase in latency.
@@GadgetryTech oh, great. Thanks for your time to answer. And with the adapter the "chat x mixer" control works on pc?
How's the sound quality compared to pulse 3d? (I have the pulse)
Thank you
Hi just watched this top review and the one from TB stealth 700 gen 2.
In resume, which one would you pick, after EQ tuning, if both cost 100€?
I just got my hands one both for that price each and I'm 50/50. I do think the TB has a little bit better sound (because of less bass). But the ergonomics on the Xbox headset are such a nice touch.
I mostly play Warzone so it would be more directional to that .
Anyway, thank you for the reviews. Earned 1 sub 👍
I like the Stealth 700 more.
Would be great if you used the atmos app and tuned with that much bigger band EQ and showed us the measurements
I'm looking for getting a new headset and I play many fps games along with rpg and story games is the headset good enough for warzone battlefield and cod multiplayer ?
Between this headset and the Lucid LS35X headset, which one would you pick?
Can it be used wired over usb on Android? xCloud bluetooth Im sure would be a latency problem but if they can be used wired on Android phones then you take away any chance of that being an issue.
hi are the settings for all games. and what about the Dolby Equalizer
Great review! Question I’m having issues with the mic not connecting to my game right off the bat. I have it connected to my Mac while playing and for some reason it goes to the mac rather than the Xbox. It takes a while for it to work. Anyone else experiencing this?
Is there anyway to completely disable the mic?
Great review.
Looking for a mid-price headset at the moment and now I've pretty much set on this one.
Only problem I have, right now, is I can't find the app on IOS.
Can someone direct me to it please ?
I'm in Canada in case it makes a difference.
What are your thoughts in comparing them to LucidSound LS35X and LS50X? Great review.
Lucids are a little more clear and have pretty amazing sound/openness to them. I would consider the LS50X over the LS35X just for the wireless stability alone. They sound pretty amazing.
I am thinking of buying this because of the volume wheel, how it looks (not bulky gaming headset looking) Mic with noise cancelling/noise gate. Can this be paired to 2 PCs at the same time? if so how does the switching works?
can you do a quick little tutorial on how to use the headset on pc with discord and xbox with gamechat at the same time
Xbox wireless headset or turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 max.? 🤔🙂 please help. 😁
How is the surround sound/ directional hearing for games like Apex Legends, Battlefield, COD? I play a lot of those 3 games, especially Apex and I have the hyperX cloud alpha pro wired headset and it stinks for directional audio. Before this headset I had the Official PS4 Gold model headset. It was wireless and had exceptional directional audio IMO all for $99. How does this Xbox headset compare to that? Does anyone know?
This headset or the arctis nova 7x, cant decide
Just got it and I noticed the mic sounds much better in party chat. Just a heads up to anyone thinking about buying!
beetween This official xbox headset or the HyperX Cloud Flight for Xbox Wireless wich one would you prefer?
I watch a lot of your reviews, they are very knowledgeable and informative.
I think u ought to do a video on headset audio formats vs Dolby Digital 5.1
The older headsets used to use the optical cable from the Xbox, this is how they achieved using the Dolby Digital format
I think it’s superior to headset format.
A comparison video would be lovely.
Thanks Krazy! It's tough to consider what the best approach to that video would be because it could confuse some people. There are pros and cons to these, and it also depends on what the output devices are as well. Thanks so much for the feedback and kind words as well!
@@GadgetryTech
You’re right about it confusing people. I just feel if we don’t raise enough awareness about it, that there’s a superior audio format out there for your headset, they’ll go the way of the dinosaur. All the new headsets now do wireless pairing, super convenient, but still restricted to headset format (2 channel)
And I understand why, the next gen consoles don’t have an optical out port. But I’d say 90% of people are playing on a Flat screen tv, and all flat screens since the 2000’s have an optical out port. So firmware updates such as Astro’s audio over usb really weren’t necessary, unless your gaming off of a monitor, then yes the firmware update was needed.
That being said, once u do the firmware update, it is impossible to use Dolby Digital 5.1 again, even if u plug an optical cord into the A50’s base station, audio is defaulted to USB there is no choice. However, if u do plug the usb cord into anything else besides the console, it will start to pull audio from the optical input, but then u lose mic functionality.
Even if u don’t end up making a video about this, I think a person like u will find this interesting. U should compare for yourself between Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Atmos for Headphones.
The only headsets I’m aware that can do this kind of comparison are the Astro A40 and A50’s and Turtle Beach Elite 800x, since they used optical input in their base stations.
Since Turtle Beach never released a firmware update for next gen consoles, your still able to choose between Dolby Digital 5.1 and Headset format.
Tho it’s not very clear how to go about this, it will make sense after u do it.
Once u plug the 800x into the Series X it will detect the headset and say “headset assigned”
It will automatically gray out “speaker audio” making it unselectable and change HDMI audio to “headset format” 2 channel.
To allow u to select Dolby Digital again, u need to switch “headset audio” to uncompressed Stereo. This is fine because the audio is coming thru the optical cable. After doing that speaker audio is now selectable again, switch HDMI audio to bitstream out, and bitstream format to Dolby Digital. Voila, u now have 5.1 channels going to your headset and your mic works.
The same can be done for A40’s and A50’s pre update
But if they’ve already been updated u need to plug the usb cable into another power source, or the Xbox will detect it and automatically assign headset format.
So many words 🤣 it’s probably all very confusing, but like I say, once u do it, it will all make sense
And again, in my opinion, Atmos sounds flat and approximate compared to Dolby Digital, which is a 5.1 signal, having all its channels separated must be how it’s positional audio sounds more accurate to my ear.
@@GadgetryTech
Hey man
I just found a video that in so many words explains what I’m talking about in the differences between audio formats available for headsets
ruclips.net/video/wJr8-79koCA/видео.html
These or the Stealth700 Gen2?
A+ vid
Is it good for pc gaming? Like Valorant
Thanks for the comprehensive review! Any ideas if the Bluetooth connection is compatible with MacOS? I'm hoping to use this headset with both my Series X and my Macbook for work.
Thanks! It works perfectly fine with my iPhone 12 so you shouldn’t have any issues. Same protocols and codecs supported.
@@GadgetryTech thank you so much!!
Bro... I love your reviews, but you are so positive about everything that now im torn on what to buy. I have 100-150 budget. I value in this order: comfort and quality of life, sound quality and connectivity ( i have both consoles). Right now im torn between Steel series arctics 7x, Stealth 700 and the Xbox ones. At first after watching your videoa, i was between the arctis 7x because of the comfort and connectivity, and the the Stealth 700 for the great sound and the cool gel which sounds amazing. But now you throw the Xbox one in the mix at a 100us and things get harder. At the moment, the arctis 7x stands at 120us on Amazon and Stealth at 149. I wanna know which one would you recommend between the Xbox official and the Arctis 7x with just a 20us difference between them. Are the Arctis way more comfortable? Or are the Stealth 700 gel and sound worth the difference? @gadgetrytech
if i have an extra foam piece for the mic would you recommend putting it on the mic
I would experiment with it, but if you don't have a fan blowing on it probably not. This mic isn't too clear but the foam shouldn't make much of a difference with regards to sound quality.
I REALLY like mine, but I wish Microsoft would tweak this mic monitoring again. On the highest settings it's still really low.
Is the battery overcharge protected?
Great video😀🇳🇴
This or Beyerdanamic Pro?
Just an FYI. You do not need to buy the Microsoft wireless adapter to allow this headset to work on PC. If your PC has bluetooth built into it, you can connect to it via bluetooth. You can also just buy a bluetooth adapter if your PC does not have bluetooth built in. This is a cheaper alternative to the Microsoft adapter. Might be able to save yourself 10-15 bucks.
EDIT: Awesome review by the way. I'm not a fan of the ear cups they come with, so I bought some replacements. They're the same size ear cups as the Arctis 7 headset. Amazon has a ton of choices
Can you connect it to the ps5???
Sorry if I missed this, but can it be used while charging? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Stealth 700 G2 can do that, right?
Yes, I have them and they work great while charging 😍
I been using these since they released. My only issue with them is the janky asf proprietary 2.4ghz connection when using it on PC!
Idk if u covered this in the review, but can u pair the headset to 2 or devices at once?
Yes. Wireless and Bluetooth work at the same time
I have these, yes, the bass is a little much, it's mind blowing there is a seperate option to add even more considering it's way to much to begin with. My only real complaint so far, I have these paired to my TV, and if I wanna use them to watch a show, it turns on my Xbox when I power them up, which is annoying. Not sure if there is a way around this, but if not I hope MS patches in an option to disable this. Another plus, very comfortable after a long session. Watched the 4 hr Snyder Cut with them on and they were great. Normally I'm not a fan of headphones for more than an hour or 2.
That's great to hear on comfort. The earcups are amazing at this price point.
Just paired these to my series x last night and noticed about a second of audio lag while playing warzone. Is this common? I’ve never had a wireless gaming headset before...
I've had zero lag on Warzone when playing with these. Are you playing on Xbox? If so, power cycle both the console and the headset. Perhaps try pairing them again to see if that helps. If you are using Bluetooth, there is audio lag with Bluetooth no matter what. So if you're playing on PC, use the headset in USB mode by plugging in a longer USB-C cable, or purchase an Xbox Wireless adapter for Windows 10 and pair the headset to that.
The one problem I have with the headset is that if I turn the sound 1/4 the way down from full volume it's almost non existence in sound
I love my xbox headset after messing with the eq. It sounds way better then the ps5 pulse 3D headset.
Just found the channel and just picked up an Xbox series s. These do look like a great deal. Don’t you have to pay extra for Dolby Atmos? Curious can’t seem to find out how much that costs. Seems like it would be worth it though. Thanks for posting.
The original launch included Atmos for only 6 months. I’m not sure if they still offer that but it is still considered separate
Dolby Atmos is a one time fee of $14.99.
How would you pair this to the arctis 7x.
7X is a great headset but it's a little finicky with placement of the wireless adapter. The 7X is the best value if you want one headset that works wirelessly on Xbox, Switch, Playstation, PC, and mobile (via headphone cable). If you are only gaming on Xbox, then the Xbox Wireless Headset is a better value. I think the Arctis 7X is a little more comfortable both initially and for long term gaming, as the ear cups breathe better so it's up to you if that's more important or not.
