Xbox Wireless Headset Specifications
The headset comes with a price tag of 99.99 USD, which is lower than the competition. The design of it is also appealing.
However, reviews pointed out the negative factor that the headset does not always work. Otherwise, the sound quality and ambiance that the Xbox Wireless Headset creates have received positive reviews. For game sounds, the headset produces a soundscape that covers all 360 degrees that perform exceptionally well when it comes to dialogues.
The headphone also does a decent job of blocking external noise given its much lower price tag than Bose and Sony. As such, Microsoft’s latest offering for headsets is a strong contender for those in the middle range of the budget spectrum.
However, some reviews have pointed out that the Xbox Wireless Headset is not completely reliable. Some of the issues have been abrupt cuts in chat and gameplay audio, echo and delay, and the headset refusing to play the sound even though it is connected and recognized.
For binging TV shows with a lot of dialogue, the headset reportedly performs well. However, it leaves a lot to be desired for dramatic moments in cinemas.
Reviews are mostly expecting a few tweaks before it reaches its complete potential. However, the design is notably outstanding with its simplicity and sleekness. It is also comfortable while wearing for a long amount of time. Moreover, the mic does not obstruct and is flexible. It also has an LED light on the top that indicates whether it is muted or not.
