The Xbox Wireless Headset was originally compatible with the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One, as well as Windows 10 computers. It connects to consoles via Microsoft’s own wireless protocol, so it appears as an Xbox controller. The headset also supports Bluetooth, which allows it to be connected to mobile devices.

The Xbox Wireless headset has dual beam-forming microphones and voice isolation tuning, which allows the device to separate speech from ambient noise, according to Microsoft. You can use the automatic damping function, which relies on these technologies, or press the damping button. And as you would expect, you can move the microphone up to keep it out of the way if you are not actively using it.
With its inner metal headband, the headset should be able to get beats. The headband is adjustable and has a cushion, and Microsoft said it “easily fits large head sizes.” The rotating knobs on the ear-to-ear earbuds allow you to adjust the volume and sound balance for game / chat (and with the Xbox Accessories app, you can further tune things up with an equalizer and bass boost setting). According to Microsoft, the battery life is calculated up to 15 hours. Most importantly, the color scheme and design of the Xbox Wireless Headset does not scream ‘GAMER’.
Pre-orders for the Xbox Wireless Headset are now available.
