For me, the ability for the headset to remote-start the Xbox is the only thing I don't like about it, simply because you can't disable the feature. Because the headset has two radios, it can be used with an Xbox and a Bluetooth device (even simultaneously). It's a really great feature and a key reason I bought the headset, to use with both my Xbox and on Zoom calls since I'm working from home. So if you're like me, roughly half the time you pick up the headset, it's to use with something other than the Xbox. Yet every time I turn it on, it remote-starts the Xbox anyway. It's incredibly frustrating, because there's no way to disable it. Making it even worse is that the Xbox Accessories App lacks a "forget device" command, so you can't even un-pair the headset from the Xbox when the Xbox is not in use (the only way to un-pair it is to pair it to a different Xbox). This means that the only way to prevent the headset from remote-starting the Xbox is to fully unplug the Xbox from it's power source. Its a huge oversight, and one that I hope Microsoft addresses in a future update to the Xbox OS.

@@WindowsCentralGaming no probs man. Thought the Community orientated Pod you did was on point and the stuff you said about being freelance at WCG was really interesting. WCG, sign this cat up ASAP and get the check book out. Miles is an absolute asset to the channel.
Just a tip. If you want to hear your EQ in real time just connect to your phone and play some music while you mess with the settings in the Xbox application app. If you turn everything up they get very loud 😂
This is a nice video - exactly what i was looking for. A great all round set to set and forget. with the aim of boosting to the EQ Settings along with the Dolby Atmos. Thanks!
Miles is %100 one of the best voices in gaming. Almost reminds me of a "how its made" show type voice lol Dude is so chilled too, instead of hyping literally every word he says, like most gaming review channels.
Always interesting how we all hear things differently. The one thing these do not need imo is any bass boost - I've left that off and still eq'd down the lower two bands. Without the eq feature these would have been returned instantly - now I'm really pleased with them.
I've found that the bass boost needs to be tweaked the most. Games like Overwatch have overpowering bass, so I'll lower it while playing. Happy to hear the EQ tweaks have helped improve your experience tho! - Miles
Great video. Thank you. I’m torn between this headset and the SteelSeries 7X for the Series X. Which one would you go for? Apparently the Xbox headphones sound better, with deeper bass, but the microphone light is distracting and the microphone quality, as you say, is not great. As well as having the best possible audio quality, having a reliable, stable connection is key for me. 🙏🏻
Managed to order a set on Monday, but not going to arrive until 26th March 😪 Great vid Miles, definitely going to rewatch the vid when they arrive so i can use your recommended settings 👍
New webcam Miles or just a tighter zoom applied? The quality looks better. Good video dude, I appreciate the details shared about the mixing options. Looking forward to next Chaturday!
Awesome vid. These are probably the best settings I've found. A lot of other EQ settings I've seen either kill the bass or just hollow out everything. Not pleasing to my ears. Got a question though. Have you messed with DTS: X and/or Windows Sonic? What are your opinions on those? I think DTS X sounds great, but I can't decide if it's better than Atmos. Also, my biggest issue with this headset is the latency. Super annoying, and happens regardless of audio format.
@@Lukeyd19 DTS: X, not DTS. And I'm talking about with this specific headset. Not in general. They both sound solid, but I can't decide which is better overall.
Love these, listen to music while I play games, atmos is impressive, music performance is impressive! Mic works great for me, my friends said I sound great?! But with that said, $99, best value ever! I've gone thru tins of audiophile and highebd gaming headsets, these hold up, for $99 they surpass!
I recently bought the Starfield version of this headset for my PC. It's my first real headset and I like it. It does feel tight on my head though and my ears are a little big so they start to hurt after an hour or so. For some reason my mic became muted even though it was never shown muted. Then one day for unknown reasons it started working again. I enjoy plating Skyrim and No Man's Sky with the headset on. I also enjoy wearing t hem while watching some of mt favorite shows and movies.
You 're saying that you boosted the 4 kHz band by 3 levels and the 8 kHz band by 4 levels but that doesn't reflect from what you showed in the video. It seems that you increased them by 1 and 2 levels respectively. Am I missing something?
I've had 4 or 5 people so far complain about sound with Warzone on this video. I'll have to boot that one up, I haven't tried it yet to be honest. - Miles
Thanks for watching! And yeah, for the most part I'm using both of these settings. Dolby Atmos is only supported with a small list of games right now. - Miles
@@WindowsCentralGaming You can use Dolby Atmos for Headphones and DTS Headphone X in any game because it's just virtual surround. Of course you get optimal experience in games that support them.

Live mine and has replaced my Steel Series 7X already. The Steel series sound the same but lack the features. Also they pretty much disconnect after every restart of the console. These just work and extra perk. You cna turn your console on with em
Turning the xbox on with the headset is bloody annoying. Every time I try using the headset with my phone the console turns on. Oh, and This headset is bass heavy. I’d steer clear of bass boost. Good overview, though.
Hi Khalid, I've got both. Granted not a lot of time with the Xbox headset yet but I wouldn't worry unless your 35X needs replacing. I got the Xbox headset as wanted seperate ones for PC and Xbox (repairing my 35X to PC always turning on Xbox , not being to hand for work calls etc). USBC is nice on the Xbox headset, and the integration into the OS for firmware and settings. But the 35X MIC is better (and, I also prefer the boom/mute LED on the 35X as I use it for work calls and great to know 100% when the red light is on you won't get heard swearing at dumb questions...Cooling gel cups on 35X bonus too). Both are great ~ $100 headsets in my view. If I didn't have a 35X, and was just for Xbox use I'd probably go Xbox Wireless but wouldn't replace a 35X with one.
delay just if u put dolby atmos on HDMI, on HDMI put normal, not dolby atmos, just use dolby atmos on headsets, its nice sound, but un hdmi have many delay.
Hey, i am using the Hyperx cloud Alpha with Astro mixamp (newest gen) in combination with the brainwavz leather right now. Got the mixamp for using discord with my phone (aux port) and game audio at the same time. What do you think about changing to this new headset ? Audio in comparison to my setup or just the hyperx cloud alpha? Playing mainly Warzone at the moment.
I have razer kraken pros and my mic cracks every time i move it and basically need it to touch my lips so it doesn’t echo like hell. Will definitely be needing to get these once they’re available again
The automate does not work well. When I play Gears 5 I have my tv sound bar going and I have one ear cup monitoring going on so I can hear my buddy in the chat but use the sound bar to hear the game sounds instead of wearing the headset full on. Automute is turned to high & he says he can hear everything very loud through the headset. I am missing something? I thought MS said the microphone is supposed to auto-mute when you have it set up until you speak? If I don’t speak all of the sounds should be muted?
There are settings in the Xbox accessories app that you need to enable for automute. Check it out in there and I believe there are two options for intensity. - Miles
@@WindowsCentralGaming Again, you can use Dolby Atmos with any game because it's virtual surround: it can convert stereo to surround and if you're using any srereo headphones it can simulate that surround sound using your stereo headphones.
Very nice.I'd love to use headphone , but I have reduced earing in one ear. This limits my enjoyment. Wish you could boost (balance vol and eq} for separate ears
Coming from ls 35x this headset blows it away to me on design. Seemingly the quality the design how it feels the look etc etc. But the difference in mic quality is CONSIDERABLE though, and it's such a bummer. Which seems to echo this great review. Again at $100 is the best all around headset, but unfortunately I can't ditch the ls35x because of it. (Which retail is $180 and that's a hard sell. I got mine half off years ago though). Hope that helps
Having a really really hard time setting this headset for warzone. Unfortunately I might have to return it because it’s so much worse than my rig 800’s
What you mean by 7.1 system can't replicate the sound immersive experience? I don't know what surround system you're using but apparently not high end one. I could skip they silly comn. Lol
Honestly, this headset is great for like 80% of things on Windows. Playing Warzone, for example on PC - is a complete fiasco.. Connecting Via Bluetooth just doesn't work. It defaults the audio to the Xbox Wireless Hands Free AG Audio, so you get no sound at all unless you disable that in the sound manager; then sound works- but you can't use the microphone. Maybe that's a Warzone issue though - although I've read about similar issues while troubleshooting in other games. So- advice was to get the Xbox Adapter for Windows 10 and give that a go- Well, that works significantly better - can get connection in every game I try- but Atmos audio is choppy in about 30% of the games. Keep in mind, atmos, wireless, everything works perfectly on my Series X - so I don't think I got a bad headset here. Just needs some firmware/driver updates from Microsoft for the PC support IMO.
Great review. On wind10 PC with Xbox Wireless Dongle the chatmix is did not working! i hope theyx fix is ASAP+! coz this is the first feature what i want to use it mostly.! Also a bass - goes negative is need it coz it has awesome powerfull bass sound... that i did not want it.
Do you know if the ear pads are replaceable at all? I don't want pleather ear pads because they sweat and split and flake away over time. I've asked Microsoft "experts" and they don't have any info because the device is new. The specs say they're 40mm cups. Could they be swapped out for other 40mm ear pads on Amazon?
Agreed can't believe they chose this pvc type material for inside especially, it's horrible, get hot sticky very quickly. No cooling gel either, breathable fabric is a must.
when i tried pairing it and did the update it doesnt show in accessories anymore and the headset light just stays on. i cant turn it off. i have a xbox series x
Do not buy this headset. It pairs perfectly to the Xbox. Until it constantly breaks up, sends your voice to your party as if ur a robot. Trying to hard reset this thing is nearly impossible, it’s not like regularly headsets where u hold down the power button. You need to plug it in and hold buttons and hope it works but it never does for me. People said to move my router around, change position of console. I’ve basically rebuilt this entire basement to get this headset to work and nothing does. Do not buy it.
I need help to set up the headset to hear footsteps better in apex legemds, so far my old turtle each 420x are better lower bass but clear and detailed sounds
The video doesn't reflect the 4kHz and 8kHz settings you stated in the video. You stated 3 and 4 levels (respectively) but the video only shows 1 and 2 levels up. Just an observation.
When you go into the app, it becomes more clear. Moving the slider up "1 level" doesn't mean one bar. I counted a level as the number of clicks up or down on the slider. - Miles
@Windows Central Gaming I realize that, I own them myself. A click on the d-pad (which would be more accurate since the stick could bounce back) causes a half step on a bar. I have tried it on a Xbox one X, a Series X and the Windows 10 accessories app (yes all 3). What you have shown here for the 4kHz and 8kHz is +1 and +2 respectively. Try it again yourself. Logically speaking, look at the 250Hz and 1kHz settings, if you did one click down on each of those, it is a half step below the midline. Since the 4kHz is half step above the midline, that would mean you only did 1 click on that.
Hi there, in the video it looks like you increased the 4khz +1 and the 8khz +2 but you explained that you went up +3 on 4khz and +4 on 8khz. Can you please clarify this?
Absolutely! When you're adjusting the settings, I counted 1 "level" as just moving the slider up one position. For further clarity you can just do a side by side with the graph in the video too. - Miles
@@WindowsCentralGaming Hey, I'm still not following. Do I use the graph or your audio suggestion? Graph is 4kHz "1 level" & 8kHz "2 levels", but you were saying 4kHz "3 levels" & 8kHz "4 levels". Thanks!
@@WindowsCentralGaming What you wrote in the article and said in the video does not match the graph you display. You may want to pin a correction comment one way or the other whether we should follow what you wrote/said or what you display on the graph.
Question?.. So there is no way of getting 3D audio from this headset unless I pay Dolby Atmos?.. Like the pulse 3D from playstation? I would love to buy them, but need more info
Do anyone got this problem? With this headphones? I hear myself in the headset. I use the monitor speaker slider.... But nothing happens... I still hear myself trough the headphones..... Can anyone help me? I only hear myself when i am in partychat.... If anyone can help will i be gratefull....
Does really annoy me when people compare this headset against steel series and astros to name a couple. They shouldnt be a comparison because of the massive price in difference. These should be compared to the Sony pulse 3d mainly.
The 4 and 8 kHz settings don't match what you are saying in the video. The 4 looks like you just moved it up one instead of three and the 8 kHz looks like you moved it up 2 instead of 4. The other three levels match what you say to do. Can you verify what is going on please and thanks for the videl!
This headset has issues within Windows 10! If you Switch to Dolby Atmos in Games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The Sound get's getting Chopped of. And if you switch to 7.1 or 5.1 Sound then the Sound is back to normal. I Use the Xbox Dongle for Windows. I Think the Dongle is to Slow to deliver the Atmos Sound. Al Drivers + Firmware are to the Latest Updates. Had someone this issue too?
@@JubeiSensei I thought this official dongle performed better with the official one. I test actually Dolby atmos with a bluetooth 4.0 dongle. It is performing a little better. I think I must order a 5.0 one. Maybe this will solve my problem.
There is definitely an audio issue with dolby atmos on PC using the wireless adapter or wired usb audio. Mainly warzone and cold war. Other games and movies seem to be fine.

Again at $100 is the best all around headset, but unfortunately I can't ditch the ls35x because of it. (Which retail is $180 and that's a hard sell. I got mine half off years ago though).
Hope that helps
Having a really really hard time setting this headset for warzone. Unfortunately I might have to return it because it’s so much worse than my rig 800’s
What you mean by 7.1 system can't replicate the sound immersive experience? I don't know what surround system you're using but apparently not high end one. I could skip they silly comn. Lol
whats the difference between Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos and does it matter which one you use?
dolby atmos is far far superior. it's that simple
I love the mic and all but why do I have to update it every 20 mins ??
Honestly, this headset is great for like 80% of things on Windows. Playing Warzone, for example on PC - is a complete fiasco.. Connecting Via Bluetooth just doesn't work. It defaults the audio to the Xbox Wireless Hands Free AG Audio, so you get no sound at all unless you disable that in the sound manager; then sound works- but you can't use the microphone. Maybe that's a Warzone issue though - although I've read about similar issues while troubleshooting in other games. So- advice was to get the Xbox Adapter for Windows 10 and give that a go- Well, that works significantly better - can get connection in every game I try- but Atmos audio is choppy in about 30% of the games.
Keep in mind, atmos, wireless, everything works perfectly on my Series X - so I don't think I got a bad headset here. Just needs some firmware/driver updates from Microsoft for the PC support IMO.
But how do you connect them to PC? I have Bluetooth and tried all three options and it doesn’t pop up. Shows up on my phone though
I'm still trying to figure out what each HRZ mean like witch was games boost chat clarity like all I see is the bars and numbers lol
Can I connect 2 Xbox headsets to a Xbox Series X at the same time?
U recommend dolby atmos or dts x with these headphones?
Dolby atmos is a game changer. Nothing compares
Dolby Atmos is very impressive and I can't wait to hear more games take advantage of it. - Miles
6 months DA? I thought it was fully included.
Great review. On wind10 PC with Xbox Wireless Dongle the chatmix is did not working! i hope theyx fix is ASAP+! coz this is the first feature what i want to use it mostly.! Also a bass - goes negative is need it coz it has awesome powerfull bass sound... that i did not want it.
Do you know if the ear pads are replaceable at all? I don't want pleather ear pads because they sweat and split and flake away over time. I've asked Microsoft "experts" and they don't have any info because the device is new. The specs say they're 40mm cups. Could they be swapped out for other 40mm ear pads on Amazon?
Agreed can't believe they chose this pvc type material for inside especially, it's horrible, get hot sticky very quickly. No cooling gel either, breathable fabric is a must.
when i tried pairing it and did the update it doesnt show in accessories anymore and the headset light just stays on. i cant turn it off. i have a xbox series x
Can this be used on a Mac as well? I would need it for online school as well.
yeah, It can connect via bluetooth.
Do not buy this headset. It pairs perfectly to the Xbox. Until it constantly breaks up, sends your voice to your party as if ur a robot. Trying to hard reset this thing is nearly impossible, it’s not like regularly headsets where u hold down the power button. You need to plug it in and hold buttons and hope it works but it never does for me. People said to move my router around, change position of console. I’ve basically rebuilt this entire basement to get this headset to work and nothing does. Do not buy it.
I have stutter when I play WARZONE and the Dolby is on
When I turn it off work fine
How i can fix this problem?
Windows 10
Can someone tell me why I’m getting 14 days trial instead of 6 months ? Thanks 🙏🏽
I need help to set up the headset to hear footsteps better in apex legemds, so far my old turtle each 420x are better lower bass but clear and detailed sounds
The video doesn't reflect the 4kHz and 8kHz settings you stated in the video. You stated 3 and 4 levels (respectively) but the video only shows 1 and 2 levels up.
Just an observation.
When you go into the app, it becomes more clear. Moving the slider up "1 level" doesn't mean one bar. I counted a level as the number of clicks up or down on the slider. - Miles
@Windows Central Gaming I realize that, I own them myself. A click on the d-pad (which would be more accurate since the stick could bounce back) causes a half step on a bar. I have tried it on a Xbox one X, a Series X and the Windows 10 accessories app (yes all 3). What you have shown here for the 4kHz and 8kHz is +1 and +2 respectively.
Try it again yourself.
Logically speaking, look at the 250Hz and 1kHz settings, if you did one click down on each of those, it is a half step below the midline. Since the 4kHz is half step above the midline, that would mean you only did 1 click on that.
Hi there, in the video it looks like you increased the 4khz +1 and the 8khz +2 but you explained that you went up +3 on 4khz and +4 on 8khz. Can you please clarify this?
Absolutely! When you're adjusting the settings, I counted 1 "level" as just moving the slider up one position. For further clarity you can just do a side by side with the graph in the video too. - Miles
@@WindowsCentralGaming Awesome!thanks for the speedy reply Miles :)
@@WindowsCentralGaming Hey, I'm still not following. Do I use the graph or your audio suggestion? Graph is 4kHz "1 level" & 8kHz "2 levels", but you were saying 4kHz "3 levels" & 8kHz "4 levels". Thanks!
@@WindowsCentralGaming What you wrote in the article and said in the video does not match the graph you display. You may want to pin a correction comment one way or the other whether we should follow what you wrote/said or what you display on the graph.
I like your Zero and Megaman pieces
Thanks! Me too! 🤣 - Miles
I'm still waiting for the Mega Man X reboot....
@@WindowsCentralGaming I feel you Miles, so much IPs that should come back hard, like Doom did.
Question?.. So there is no way of getting 3D audio from this headset unless I pay Dolby Atmos?.. Like the pulse 3D from playstation? I would love to buy them, but need more info
You can definitely get 3D without Dolby Atmos through Windows Sonic, which is free. - Miles
@@WindowsCentralGaming ok nice thanks Miles for the reply.. I will definitely will try them now..
Anyone knows how to adjust the EQ settings on windows 10?
When I put dolby atmos on the headphones no sound comes out the headphones can some one help pls
Do you have a fix for the moc quailty my freinds say its terrible
Do anyone got this problem? With this headphones? I hear myself in the headset. I use the monitor speaker slider.... But nothing happens... I still hear myself trough the headphones..... Can anyone help me? I only hear myself when i am in partychat.... If anyone can help will i be gratefull....
I have sound in wireless headphones and from sound bar at the same time. Is there any options in Xbox series X disable sound from sound bar?
No. You gotta just turn one down.
@@themobmajor Thank you for your answer.
@@altaiir4 :) I had the same question a while back.
I just wish the mic was better, party is kinda ass with it now :((
The mic is easily my biggest complaint. - Miles
Someone commented on somewhere that changing auto mute and noise cancelation settings made it sound better.
You do know the Gen 2 Stealth 700 Is fully compatible with Dolby Atmos and 3D Spatial Audio.... Just saying
Stealth 700 is another great option for a similar price. - Miles
My microphone cuts out a lot, any help?
Does really annoy me when people compare this headset against steel series and astros to name a couple. They shouldnt be a comparison because of the massive price in difference. These should be compared to the Sony pulse 3d mainly.
The 4 and 8 kHz settings don't match what you are saying in the video. The 4 looks like you just moved it up one instead of three and the 8 kHz looks like you moved it up 2 instead of 4. The other three levels match what you say to do. Can you verify what is going on please and thanks for the videl!
Sorry for the confusion there, if you match the sliders on the video you should be good. - Miles
This headset has issues within Windows 10! If you Switch to Dolby Atmos in Games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The Sound get's getting Chopped of. And if you switch to 7.1 or 5.1 Sound then the Sound is back to normal. I Use the Xbox Dongle for Windows. I Think the Dongle is to Slow to deliver the Atmos Sound. Al Drivers + Firmware are to the Latest Updates. Had someone this issue too?
Why not just use bluetooth?
Does your pc not do Bluetooth without dongles?
@@JubeiSensei I thought this official dongle performed better with the official one. I test actually Dolby atmos with a bluetooth 4.0 dongle. It is performing a little better. I think I must order a 5.0 one. Maybe this will solve my problem.
There is definitely an audio issue with dolby atmos on PC using the wireless adapter or wired usb audio. Mainly warzone and cold war. Other games and movies seem to be fine.
Wow night and day difference 👍
Happy to these settings helped! - Miles
How is this working with warzone?
Why can’t I activate Dolby Atmos? It’s saying I have to pay?
It's not included its extra
mic dont work on discord :(
How do you turn the Bluetooth off on these? It constant connects to my phone now that I paired them
Delete the pairing from your phone.
@@themobmajor yeah I already returned them lol. I’m just gonna stick with the Arctic 9x.
@@phxntomplanet Mine are just for my xbox now.. Really disapointed in this.
@@themobmajor sorry to hear it :( part of the reason I like the Arctis so much is it works with everything.
I think I'm going to invest in some quality studio headphones and a standalone mic honestly after all this lol
Hi
Is 3d sound for all games?
Howdy! Not all games support 3D audio, so it does depend on the game you're playing. - Miles
