It will please Xbox fans to know that a new Xbox Wireless Headset is on its way. Xbox wants this new headset to take you to another level of sound quality for a more than affordable price. And if they’re right, these new over-ear headphones could be a game-changer.
Whether you’re playing on the new Xbox Series X or Series S or you’re more of a PC or mobile gamer, the Xbox Wireless Headset might be the right option to add to your setup.
What’s New About the Xbox Wireless Headset
The new Xbox Wireless Headset wants to improve the sound quality when we play while also give us unique features. As Xbox puts it in its Xbox Wireless Headset announcement, these new headphones will “help you feel immersed, react faster to the action, and connect further with your gaming worlds.”
But what’s so new about these headphones, we hear you ask? Well, for starters, there’s the sound.
Xbox says these new headphones feature industry-leading spatial sound technologies, including Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: X. These features will draw the player further into the gaming experience when playing.
The spatial sound technologies will also let you hear subtle sounds that might be hard to hear if you’re not wearing a headset. For example, spatial sound will let you hear the precise direction from which an enemy is approaching in Warzone. This gives you the upper hand on your opponents.
Xbox mentions the new headset provides clear and intelligent chat audio quality. This means that if you’re playing with friends, you’ll be able to hear them, and they hear you clearly without having the in-game sound interfering. Plus, the new headphones will also have voice isolation that’ll help pick up your voice instead of background noise.
These new headphones will have a design that focuses on comfort. The Xbox Wireless Headset has everything you’d expect from over-ear headphones plus a little more.
They’re lightweight and feature soft polyurethane leather ear cups so that you can use them for hours on end. This is ideal if you engage in long gaming sessions on your Xbox.
The best part is that you can adjust it to fit your own head. You can adjust the headband, rotate the ear cups, and even hide the microphone to create the perfect setup for you.
Take Gaming Chats to a New Level
Game sound won’t be the only improvement we get, but the microphone will also have some smart features. An auto-mute feature will do just what you expect; mute your mic when you aren’t talking to avoid communication issues.
Plus, if you want more privacy, you can easily press the mute button to avoid annoying your gaming buddies. Nobody else wants to hear your in-depth discussion about what’s for dinner. It’s distracting!
The best part about the Xbox Wireless Headset is that you can connect it to two devices at once. This means you’ll be able to connect your headset to your phone and your Xbox console at the same time.
Need to converse with your family, but you’re in the middle of a crucial Fortnite match? No problem, as you can continue gaming and make a phone call through the headset without even having to take your eyes off the screen.
Easy to Use, Across All Your Devices
As we mentioned before, you’ll be able to use the Xbox Wireless Headset in more than just your Xbox Series S or Series X. Xbox says you’ll be able to connect it with other Windows 10 PCs and your phones as well.

Since this headset is completely wireless, it’ll be super easy to connect and take with you anywhere you go. What’s great is that you’ll get up to 15 hours of battery life, and if you’re in a hurry, only 30 minutes of charge should give you up to 4 hours of battery life. Pretty good for the price.
Price and Release Date
The best part about these headphones is the price. The Xbox Wireless Headset will be available starting on March 16 for just $99. If you want, you can preorder these headphones in selected stores, including the Microsoft Store.
Is the Xbox Wireless Headset a Game-Changer, then?
The Xbox Wireless Headset is imminent! And it’s more than enough time to get your Xbox Series X or Series S ready. Although, since you can also use it for your PC, you could just use your desktop or laptop as a console and start playing.
For everything these headphones have to offer, including the comfort, sound quality, and of course, the price, the Xbox Wireless Headset might just be about to change the game.
