Xbox Wireless Gaming Headset – Over Ear Headphones – Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic Series X|S, One, Windows PC, Mobile – Carbon Black by Xbox

The sound quality is good, and that’s where it ends.
These headphones are junk. Right out of the box, they feel like cheap plastic with loose knobs.
The headband is very stiff, making it difficult to adjust, but it dose stay put. They seem to lock in place, so you can’t make any adjustments when you’re wearing them. The earcups don’t rotate and the padding on the headband is very firm making these pretty unconfortable to wear even for shorter caming sessions.
The dial controls on the earcups are too big and loose so they are constantly being bumped and adjusted when you dont intend to. You can’t even put on or take off the headphones without accidentily adjusting the volume dials.
The mute button is, for some reason, on the same side as the power, and very close to it. The two buttons are distinctive, but a quick mute/unmute during gaming, regularly caused the power button to be pressed. The mic light also turns on white when active, a bit of a departure from the red mute indicator on most headsets.

If the price point was 50% lower, I’d say due to the sound quality and connectivity these might make an okay gaming option, but there are much better options at the same price point as these. Also, due to the difficulty in making adjustments, these wont be headphones you want to be shared in household.

Last point I’ll make, connectivity wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped. These required an update before use right out of the box. They didn’t connect the first time I tried to play a game with them. After finally getting them working, it was hit and miss. You’d turn them on and they’d connect within about a minute one time, the next they wouldn’t connect, or the mic audio wouldn’t work. Overall pretty poor experience for a pair of Microsoft Xbox headphones connected to a Microsoft Xbox.

I have mixed feelings about these headsets. The Bluetooth set up was very easy and connected right away. I loved the fact that I didn’t have to use a usb adapter to connect. It’s strictly Bluetooth. In addition you can play the game and have your phone connected to the Bluetooth at the same time. But then I noticed the audio was kinda low. So I figured out you have to go to Xbox accessories to adjust the volume to your liking’s. Once I did that I did not even have to turn the volume half way up because they were pretty loud. The sound is pretty good.i don’t know much about the mic. But im sure its decent to. My complaint is mainly the comfort. These are not for big head people. They need to open a little bit more. So to make these work I have to put the headband toward the back of my head instead of the middle. Make my ears hurt after wearing them for some time. I still like these just wish they were bigger. And the muffs a lil bigger also. These are great for kids and people with little-medium heads lol

I grabbed this headset mainly for my Xbox Series X, but it’s quickly become my go-to for everything: gaming, calls, even music. It paired effortlessly with my Xbox right out of the box, and later I connected it via Bluetooth to both my Windows laptop and my Mac with no issues at all. Really seamless experience.

The sound is way better than I expected. Playing GTA Online, I can clearly hear everything: car engines, footsteps, chaos in the background, and the bass has some real punch without drowning everything out. It makes a huge difference when you’re deep in the game.

The mic works great too. I’ve used it in party chat and on work calls, and everyone says I come through clear. The auto-mute when you’re not speaking is surprisingly handy, didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate that until I had it.

Comfort-wise, it’s a win. Lightweight, soft ear cups, almost no pressure points even after a couple hours. I’ve worn it through long gaming sessions without needing a break.

Battery life holds up well — I’ve gotten around 13–14 hours on a charge, and even a quick 30-minute top-up gives me enough for another night of gaming.
What I Like:
– Pairs easily with Xbox, PC, and Mac
– Great audio quality for games and calls
– Comfy enough for long sessions
– Mic sounds good and stays out of the way
– Volume and chat/game mix dials are super intuitive

A Couple Notes:
– No wired option
– Not noise cancelling, but still blocks out background pretty well

All in all, this headset seriously over-delivers for the price. If you play a lot of Online or multiplayer games in general, this one just makes everything smoother and more immersive.

So easy to use. Simple to adjust game/chat balance. No special software needed. No complicated dials. No searching for the right buttons. Very functional and the sound is fine. But no charge cord?🤔
