To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
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 🤷♂️
Well if you have a low priced headset that barely works your gonna want a new one even if the budget one works well a higher price will get better audio quality
I know! Even Linus was more excited and positive in his impressions. Ryan McCaffery had the most negative opinions on each aspect of the headphones out of every review I've seen so far. He didn't even wear them or do a mic test. His review had a lower score than the PS headphones, even though other non RUclips reviews tout Xbox being superior. I find Ryan becoming an increasingly poor embasador for Xbox lately. While things are becoming increasingly good for Xbox, he seems to keep handing out wins to PS, it's weird. This was a great review. It showed the best and worst of the headphones and gave a complete sense of what to expect from the product.

Just being able to seamlessly use Discord from my iPhone while playing on my XBSX sealed the deal for me (con: wish it could be a tad bit louder on the game side when multi-paired but it definitely still gets the job done). 👍👍
I remembered when Microsoft came out with there Xbox 360 wireless headset for the 360 console. It's the wireless headset that goes over just one ear. It was small but effective. Man I wish they came back with it for the Xbox Series X console or made it compatible.
The earcup dial design is a major selling point for these. It's genius and I can't believe we're just now seeing it (I guess the surface headphones use them but I've never seen anyone use those)

Pro tip always look at the mm of the speakers these are 40mm my turtle beach elite pros are 50 or 60mm. Haven't bought another headset for 3 years all parts are replaceable via turtle beaches website even the microphone. Also bear in mind wireless headsets have come a long way but because its wireless-wired will always have a lower latency even if just milliseconds quicker.
I’ve had a few disconnections already. Not enough to make it annoying, but it is a nuisance. My arctis 1 wireless never disconnected. Hopefully they fix this through updates.
I'll probably pick one up once it drops a couple of $$ in price, I've been using my skullcandy wireless crushers as a wired set connected to my controller for some time now and what i love about it is the haptic bass that really puts u right in the middle of the action and since i also have atmos for headphones it really makes u feel like ur in the game shooting at sht. So maybe i will pick one of these up just for the wireless "convenience" . I hope xbox comes up with their own wireless headset with haptic bass, now that is something i could really get behind!
I love high quality sound headsets. I play with Astro A50s Gen4s with Dolby Atmos and compared them with a few “gaming” headsets. Yes for the price they are not the best headsets. But in terms of gaming package they are amazing. Full year with them to date and no problems since. I had Gen1s A50s, A40 M80+ Gen2s, Logitech G433. They still all work tho... Tried and suggested those models to friends HyperXCloud2, SteelSeries Arctis 5 and Arctis 9x Anyways I have a This new Xbox Headset seems to be very reasonable for the price ! Wireless 15h battery, comfort, decent quality for low price, phone features, adjustable volume Voice and Game, Dolby DTS with EQ settings, nice surround imitation... bro what can you get better than this at 100$ , name it
Bro the A50s Gen 4 are terrible, paid 400 bucks for em and like the 1st month had problems lasted a year only because! well… I broke it cause I got mad at the headset.
Wouldn't say perfect. They missed out entirely about the EQ, Bass Boost and auto-mute settings on the Xbox Accessories app. That's quite a big thing to miss especially when talking about sound and mic quality and features.
You should definitely have focused a bit more on the microphone quality test. That small 5 second sample does not properly showcase whether or not the mic is good. Sounded pretty reasonable to me. I'm getting this headset delivered today after pre-ordering. Excited to try it out. Switching from an old PS4 Gold Headset I've been using on my PC and looking forward to using this Xbox headset on PC now.
@@derekp9877 Is the mic detachable or fixed? I could tell mic monitoring would be non existent when I saw the size of the mic, they definitely should have made it longer or have an added accessory
I got the cheap $20 xbox headset. This will be a huge upgrade. I did not like the surround sound headset from microsoft tho. Had too many issues for me
My headset just arrived and I'm not liking it at all. The sound quality is way worse than my old HyperX Cloud Stinger, although the multi-devices connection is a great feature. IDK if I will keep it.
Excellent review. I would like to know how they perform with phone gaming? I know that the low latency is for the XBOX, but I would like to know how does it work with phones.
After getting the Pulse for my PS5 And being blown away by them .. I finally just got these .. haven’t used them yet .. so hoping to get the same quality
I’m picking up my preorder of these at Best Buy tomorrow. I’ve been using the 3D Pulse headset with the series x for a few days but am looking forward to getting these tomorrow
Just received this headset and it sounds pretty good. The only annoying thing is that it's picking up a lot of background noise. People in the partychat are complaining about it. Anybody any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
You should be able to phase out background noises from the settings. I will be getting mine later today, I will get back to you after I mess around with them.
I'm sure someone has or will do a video of functionality comparisons Also this uses a proprietary tech that makes it wireless only to Xbox consoles. You can't even use it wirelessly on PC without the, Xbox wireless dongle of which they've been selling forever now, but I'd you don't have one as a PC gamer, that's an additional charge..
Yeah I got them to, they are ok for the price but don't expect any premium feel. They don't come with Dolby Atmos as Dolby is supported on the console. The feel is cheap and plastic, the cheap fake leather will deteriorate after 12 months of use. The chat gets downed out by in game audio, too much base takes away the high end sounds so be ready to go back and forth between game and equaliser to get the sound right.
So clearly this device is going to be a great seller for Microsoft as it offers some great features for the price tag. One thing not covered by any reviews is massive failing IMHO that the mic quality in party chat is SHOCKING! We had 2 people in our chat join with these new devices and both sounded like they were sitting in a completely different room than that from the mic. What was worse was ambient sounds e.g key presses, clicks were audible to all in party whilst the users voice maintained a muffled tone. The mic tests in this review show a small part of the problem but it's terrible in party chat, much worse than advertised.
Got mine delivered early from Best Buy Canada. I have a big head (on my neck) and found I only needed to pull down the headpiece two notches. Odd you had to pull down all the way?
is this headset compatible to use with Microsoft Teams? Skype? Reason being, I was thinking about buying this for work and I use Microsoft Teams daily in meetings. Please answer
Just a “buyer beware” from my experience. I bought the $100 series x wireless headset in this video and it was great sound wise, but once I joined an Xbox party with friends to test the mic, it literally picks up EVERY background noise there is. TV in a different room, ceiling fan, you name it. My friends could hear the sticks and buttons of my controllers loudly, every click I made. I did loads of troubleshooting, firmware updates, setting tweaks, all to no avail. Nothing would fix the sensitivity of this mic. I ended of returning it and buying the Arctis 7x for $50 more and am beyond please with that purchase. For some reason none of these reviewers talk about the mic sensitivity of this $100 headset, however if you google there is plenty of forums complaining about this exact issue and they’re all still waiting on a software fix from Microsoft for a resolution. Again this was just my experience, hopefully it saves someone some time and helps you rethink before you buy..
I returned mine a day later.. mic is too sensitive.. picks up any sound really. And the mic quality ain’t good. Everyone said I sounded like I was on a zoom call and talking out of tin foil can. Other than that I give this a 7/10. I wanted to like these but the mic sensitivity and quality didn’t cut it for me
@@erikhoffman5659 I know you can adjust it in the Xbox settings I’m just curious how well it works. I’ve used a few that allow you to adjust the settings in the app yet the mic monitoring barely works (hardly able to hear your own voice).
Finally a review on these, definitely excited for these.
Connecting it to two sources at the same time is the killer feature IMO. Every gaming headset should have that.
I play siege, prep phase on attack and the loading screens and even picking phase I watch videos these will make it so damn cool.
Can i connect it to my laptop aswell and watch youtube and that whilst still listening to the xbox or no. Thanks

So clearly this device is going to be a great seller for Microsoft as it offers some great features for the price tag.
