Xbox One Wireless Headset similar to the one for Xbox 360. Like the xbox wireless headsets for the 360, we need one for the one. Just chat, no game sound needs to come through like the pro gaming headsets. We need one just like the old headsets. 799 comments. I see quite a few comments asking for the Bluetooth designed headset from 2011, I have to disagree, I would prefer the original design from 2005/6, it had great comfortability and the design is far more consumer friendly with everyone's ears being different. 4 years later and they still didn’t do anything. Guess we have to wait for the next generation Xbox to get a wireless mic :D. I had wireless chat on original Xbox thanks to a Logitech wireless chat headset and controller combo that I bought. That was 15 years ago. When I got 360 I immediately picked up the most important accessory as soon as it was available. A wireless xbox 360 chat headset. And still, here I am in 2018 with no wireless chat headset. But I figured out why we can't have it! Microsoft knows that we will keep breaking our controllers from standing up to answer the door or go to the bathroom while wearing the wired headset. You get up, controller flies across the room, you buy new controller. Profit! :P. Welp, in my search to find a wireless chat only head set for my newly purchased Xbox One X similar to BOTH the ones I bought for the 360, I stumble upon this. I am extremely surprised that this doesn't exist. why doesn't this exist?! At least why cant the older ones be back wards compatible? I soo confused. Why? I need this. Please make it to where the Xbox one can use a single wireless earpiece similar to the Xbox 360. Similar to comments below, wearing a whole headset makes me feel hot and annoyed. I cannot believe we can't just simply use the old earpieces that were made for xbox360. At least. at least make it wear an affordable one is capable in doing so. By far the worse failure to date.. if it wasnt for the kinnect where I can talk thru the tv, I probably wouldn't continue to buy Xbox products. I'm that irate about it.. The Bluetooth style earpiece wireless headset please. I don't believe this is to much to ask for Microsoft. The other headsets mess up your hair and are to hot. Jesus I lost hope as soon as I started reading comments. Really the headset which you made for 360 was so awesome. The black was my favourite. You got all these terra flops of crap but you cant make a decent wireless chat only headset. Come on we need a wireless microphone chat like the xbox360 or please just do an update to be able to use the xbox360 wireless chat mic on the xbox one. Oh, and in the meanwhile, there's an option out there, it's very bad one, but it might be okay for some people. Use the Xbox app on Win10, then create the party there and use a generic Bluetooth mic hook it up to the PC. Many downsides, but if you're desperate it's a "solution" till MS makes (?) a proper solution. Just bought a Xbox one x (mic not included) and hooked in my wired mic from my old Xbox one, didn't even work with the Scorpio controller! And there's not even a wireless option yet, something that was around on the Xbox 360. Why is the development going backwards into the future with Microsoft? PS4 has a wireless in ear piece for a long time. Don't you see that this is what the market want's MS? We don't want the lucid option for 100$ when we should have a. 30$ option in ear piece with voice chat only. Just make it, 6400 votes should be enough! Make a wireless headset for Xbox one S/X that is like the bluetooth type of headset you made for the 360!! Im tired of having to take out my earbuds when I need to use the bathroom, make some food, answer the door or whatever else. Please bring back the wireless earpiece for the love of God. There's a VERY simple answer as to why MS doesn't make a decent wireless ( or wired for that matter) headset. Licensing. They make BOATLOADS on every Xbox branded 3rd party product sold. Turtlebeach has made a fortune lying to peoples ears with 7.1 surround sound headsets. I've sent a tweet with the link to this thread to Phil Spencer @XboxP3 https://twitter.com/XboxP3. Suggest everyone else do the same. Xbox One X doesn't even come with any kind of headset lol. come on microsoft.. xbox one x around the corner and still this stupid headset with WIRE?! really? we're in 2017 not 1980! I cannot believe still no mention of this with the futuristic 4K machine Xbox One X, wow, just wow. again. It's not the chat headset we all want, but it's probably the best we are going to get. HERE IT IS. THIS IS THE PRODUCT NEEDED FOR PAST 4 YEARS. Is it time for a new thread? Contact Larry Hyrb- Major Nelson directly on Xbox Live and give him a hyperlink to this thread. How is the only option to team chat- a Kinect ( where others hear and chime in on the conversations of ur house, 2) a $500 headset that costs as much as your console, or a tethered headset that adds wires to a situation where wires have no advantage? 2005-12 years ago there was tech to support a mono speaker wireless headset. Playstation even has one. DEMAND BETTER FROM XBOX. This situation is sooo *** idk if I should laugh historically or cry. ABSURDITY. The Clubs & LFG Forum Is Live!

The Xbox 360 headset almost became part of the console's image, and partying up with your friends to communicate over voice chat is now a standard console feature. As such, there's a flood of Xbox One headsets on the market — and since the latest versions of the Xbox One controller support 3.5 mm jacks you can use practically any headset with an in-line mic to communicate over Xbox Live. All Xbox One headsets are also compatible with the new Xbox One X, too. While the basic $10 single-piece headset might suffice for many, even the most casual gamer will benefit from picking up a dedicated headset. Here are some of the best headsets designed for use with the Xbox One. Turtle Beach Elite Pro Tournament. Turtle Beach's Elite Pro Tournament is a supreme Xbox One headset for a number of reasons, and it remains one of my favorite Xbox and PC headsets. The Elite Pro Tournament headset delivers stunning, crystalline audio combined with next-level comfort. The headset's generous cushioning across the headband and earcups allow you to forget you're even wearing a headset, reducing the physical delta between you and complete immersion. If you throw in the Elite Pro Tournament's Tactical Audio Controller, you'll end up with unprecedented control over your game. Adjust audio levels, surround sound modes, mic feedback and more without interrupting play. Every aspect of this experience simply screams premium. Turtle Beach has outdone itself with the Elite Pro Tournament headset. The Elite Pro Tournament headset will set you back around $150, or $300 if you throw in the audio controller (and you totally should, if you can afford it!) Razer Thresher Ultimate. Razer's flagship headset is a winner, delivering spacious 7.1 surround in a supremely comfortable package. As a wireless headset, Razer's Thresher Ultimate comes bundled with a tidy stand, boasting 15 hours of battery life and an impressive 40 ft wireless range (with a signal strong enough to penetrate walls). It also has an impressive frequency response for a wireless headset, delivering crisp audio that won't disappoint. For our executive editor Daniel Rubino, this set is currently his favorite, and it can be yours for $249. Plantronics RIG 800LX. Plantronics' flagship wireless headset, the RIG 800LX, represents serious value for money, with an exceptionally low weight, great comfort, and premium-feeling materials. The RIG 800LX might lack some bells and whistles like loud mic monitoring and 3.5mm connectivity, but it's a no-nonsense wireless solution that works flawlessly across both Xbox One and Windows 10. It comes with a bundled code for Dolby Atmos for a solid surround sound experience, and boasts some truly insane battery life for all-day uninterrupted gaming. You can grab this headset for $150, and it's one of my favorites on this list. LucidSound LS40 Wireless. LucidSound is a relative newcomer to the Xbox headset market, but the company sports a wealth of industry knowledge and talent. LucidSound leveraged that expertise for the LS40 headset, its flagship product. The LS40 headset is a gorgeous piece of kit designed to be used on any modern console, PC, or mobile phone. It includes 7.1 surround sound on consoles using optical audio and a USB dongle, but it can also be used passively with a 3.5 mm cable. The mic boom is removable, and the design is sleek and subtle, making it a great option for using in public as well as gaming. The audio quality is incredible, and while I had some issues with mic monitoring, it hasn't stopped this headset from becoming one of my go-to products. At $200, it doesn't break the bank either. Turtle Beach Stealth 600. Turtle Beach's Stealth 600 easily delivers the best wireless audio at an incredibly affordable price point. A successor to the Stealth 420 line, the new Stealth 600 leverages Microsoft's new Xbox Wireless protocol to connect directly to your Xbox One or a compatible laptop, such as the upcoming Surface Book 2 15-inch model. With 10 to 15 hours of battery life, mic-feedback monitoring, excellent audio, and a comfortable fit, the Stealth 600 is a great set for those who are reluctant to reach up to the higher price points. The Stealth 600 doesn't deliver audio as rich as Turtle Beach's Elite range, but Windows Sonic helps it punch far above its weight with surprisingly competent virtual surround sound. At just $95, you can't really go wrong here. Astro's 2016 A50 revision is a great headset to consider if you're looking to go fully wireless. This premium headset packs great sound quality with Dolby 7.1 virtual surround speakers, sturdy build quality, and exceptional comfort, but that's not all! The A50 headset also comes with a magnetic charging dock that allows you to keep your play space tidy, while also charging the headset's generous 15-hour-plus battery life. The A50 headset might not pack all the sound features of its nearest competition, but it has it beat on voice recording quality. Either way, the A50 is a solid purchase at $300 that won't disappoint. HyperX CloudX Pro. Kingston is a relative newcomer to the Xbox headset market, but its early efforts have been nothing short of impressive. The company's HyperX CloudX headset might not have all of the features of the more expensive headsets on this list, but if you're looking for amazing sound without breaking the bank, you should definitely consider the HyperX CloudX for your console. Almost addictively light and comfortable, the CloudX delivers big audio at an affordable $80 price point. HyperX also do an awesome Gears of War-style version of its CloudX Revolver headset, so make sure to give that a look too! Turtle Beach Recon Chat. If you're looking for something on the extremely budget conscious end of the spectrum, consider Turtle Beach's Recon Chat monopiece headset. The Recon Chat headset provides surprisingly crystalline microphone chat audio, usable on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. As a standard 3.5 mm interface, this can also be used with PC with some settings tinkering. On Xbox One, the Recon Chat headset isolates your voice from the sounds of your TV, but features large channels to allow sound to enter the headset unobscured. It's also incredibly comfortable to wear, and at around $20, you'll be hard-pressed to find better value, if all you want is party chat and your existing external sound setup. Important accessories. If you're like me and still rock the Day One Edition controller, you may want to consider picking up a 3.5 mm adapter for use with headsets that don't support the Xbox One's base controller port. Microsoft's official adapter gives you mute controls and allows you to tune the balance between game sound and chat audio. It snaps snugly into the bottom of your controller and can be removed easily if necessary. It's worth noting that most Xbox One headsets designed for 3.5 mm jacks come with adapters in the box, like each headset on this list. It's also worth mentioning the official Xbox One QWERTY Chatpad as well. It includes a 3.5 mm jack, all the regular audio controls, and a full keyboard — handy for games with text chat like ARK: Survival Evolved, and for punching in those long product redemption codes. The official Xbox One Chatpad also comes with a basic single-piece headset, perfect for casual voice chat. What's your favorite gaming headset?

Background and Identification ¶ The Xbox One Stereo Headset is an officially licensed Microsoft product that was released in March, 2014. This headset is not sold with the Xbox One and is an upgrade from the included Chat Headset. The Xbox One Stereo Headset has a 9 oz frame and large, breathable, over-ear fabric ear cups designed for long term use. The stereo speakers have a frequency response between 20Hz and 20kHz. This headset is an over-the-ear design, unlike the Xbox One Chat Headset which is an on-ear design and only has one earpiece. This headset has an adjustable boom microphone on the left ear cup that swivels up into the frame of the headset when not in use. A 4-foot audio cable with a 3.5 mm jack connects to the right ear cup. The Xbox logo is also on the outside of the left ear cup. There are no buttons or controls on the headset itself as the Xbox One controller powers the headset. This headset also comes with the Stereo Headset Adapter and a usb cable. The adapter has five buttons that control the microphone's mute function, adjust game and chat volume balance, and control overall speaker volume. The adapter plugs directly into an Xbox One controller, and connects to the headset using a 3.5 mm audio jack. The usb cable is used to update the firmware on the controller, so it can be compatible with the adapter. The adapter can be used with any headphones using a 3.5 or 2.5 mm audio jack.

Review: Xbox One Official Stereo Headset. "If you're on the market for a headset and own an Xbox One, the Xbox One Stereo Headset is an alluring option." If you're looking to get the most out of your gaming experience, audio is your ticket. Those little speakers on your TV can only do so much. If you really want to draw yourself into a game, you're going to want to throw a set of headphones on and never look back. Now that you're looking for a headset to buy, you might want to consider the new Xbox One Stereo Headset by Microsoft. The first thing you'll notice upon taking the headset out of its packaging is it's a clean-looking device. This headset is simple in shape and industrial in design. A mixture of matte and glossy plastic has been employed which follows the styling convention of the Xbox One line of products. Unlike the toyish look of the Xbox 360 and its peripherals, this device is sophisticated. There are only three pieces so it's not easily susceptible to wear, and its satellite-dish shaped earphones make it edgy enough that it stands out among the hundreds of headsets on the market. I've been surprised by the audio quality of the headset since I began using it. The headphones are closed, but not entirely so some sound leaks through. This provides a great audio experience while not completely disconnecting you from the outside world—you'll be able to hear a fire alarm, thankfully. Mid-ranges are clear and you'll be able to easily discern between game sound and player chatter. Games like Titanfall and Forza Motorsport 5 are great places to test out the hardware, and it performs admirably for its class. As great as the audio is, it's not surround sound. This is a stereo headset with two channels, and that means you'll have a more difficult time observing what direction noise is coming from. In many applications that's not a big deal, but in first-person shooters that could make or break this headset for you. However, that doesn't mean to run out and buy the first $50 5.1 headset you can find. Quality is much more important than quantity, and if you want a great surround sound headset you're looking in the $120+ range. The Xbox One Stereo Headset is $79.99 and includes the Xbox One Headset Adapter, which is required to use headsets on your Xbox One, so it wins the bang for your buck battle. Both ear covers are padded with a very soft material that's completely non-abrasive. I'd go as far as to say that these are some of the most comfortable sub-$100 headphones I've ever worn. The headset swivels and can be adjusted vertically. The plastic bends as if it were rubber which may lead you believe it has poor build quality, but that isn't the case. It was built with flexibility in mind so no matter what size head you have it'll wrap around your skull with ease. My only gripe with the design, and it's a small one, is the rubber on the top where your head makes contact with the headset. It's simply too unsubstantial to provide a comfortable surface during lengthy game sessions (two or more hours). I prefer the band style that the Steelseries Siberia V2s and other headsets employ. On the plus side you won't look nearly as weird wearing these. At first you might not notice that there's a microphone hidden on the left side. It's tucked away discretely so that when you aren't interested in using the microphone you can completely forget about it. Once you lower it, you'll be ready to communicate with others. The microphone quality was clear during testing, and the microphone position is away from the lips of your mouth so that it doesn't pick up annoying noises or interfere with eating snacks. The headset isn't completely wireless since it needs to plug into either the Xbox One controller or a 3.5mm port on another device—yes, you can use it cross-platform. The benefit to this is there are no batteries to deal with. The cable is only five feet long, so if you're going to be using it somewhere besides the Xbox One controller you may want to consider a cable extender. Purchase of the Xbox One Stereo Headset also includes the new Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. Normally it costs $24.99, and you're getting it for "free". It plugs right into the bottom of the Xbox One controller like the headset included with your console and provides quick input for volume adjustment, mute/unmute, and more. If you end up buying a different headset you're going to need the adapter, so this official headset nets some highly welcomed value as a result. If you're on the market for a headset and own an Xbox One, the Xbox One Stereo Headset is an alluring option. It includes the necessary Headset Adapter which makes it very price competitive in its class. Moreover, it delivers great audio in an attractive package. Given its thoughtful design and the fact that its 3.5mm cable can plug into just about any device on the market, the Xbox One Stereo Headset is a highly recommendable audio solution in the sub-$100 price range. NOTE: There is a controller update on Xbox One you should install before using this device. If you don't update, you may hear some static noises during use.
