Microsoft recently unveiled upgrades to its Xbox Wireless Headset, featuring improved audio quality, extended battery life, and an enhanced microphone, all for $110, just slightly more expensive than its predecessor. The new headset is now available for purchase.
Described as a “refresh” in the announcement post on Xbox’s website, the updated headset retains its design with the only noticeable change being the removal of the green ring around the earcups, opting for an all-black look instead.
The most significant improvements come in the form of extended battery life, now offering 20 hours of playtime compared to the previous model’s 15 hours. The microphone has also been upgraded with better auto-mute and noise isolation features. Additionally, Dolby Atmos for spatial sound and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity have been added for enhanced gaming experiences.
While the older Xbox Wireless Headset was known for its affordability and decent performance, the new version brings added features and improvements, positioning it as a favorable choice for Xbox gamers. It is priced at $110 and replaces the 2021 version in stores, with the wired Xbox Stereo Headset being the only other option currently available.
For those looking for a first-party Xbox headset, the new Xbox Wireless Headset offers a compelling combination of features and performance at a reasonable price point, making it a solid choice for gamers.
