So are Microsoft’s new Xbox Wireless Headphones. Following the launch of its new Xbox Series X | S consoles, Microsoft continues with the launch of an official Xbox wireless headset that will be available on March 16.
The new accessory will succeed the Xbox One stereo headset that was launched alongside the previous generation console in 2013. It will be priced “content” around $ 99.
The new Xbox Wireless Headsets will use the same proprietary Xbox wireless protocol that your controllers use. With this they will offer a lower latency than Bluetooth, although the headphones will also support this protocol. With this possibility, we can connect them to smartphones and other devices.

Microsoft explained that it will be possible to seamlessly connect the headset to multiple devices, including Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 PCs. Additionally, users will be able to simultaneously pair the headset with their phone and the console, allowing for listening, for example, phone calls and gambling at the same time.
The design of the headphones is inspired by Surface with the use of lightweight materials. They are large headphones made of leather and rotating dials to adjust volume and game / chat balance. The headphones also feature a dual-beam microphone with an indicator light that turns on when the microphone is active. We have a manual release button and a smart auto mute function. Microsoft also said that the headset supports voice isolation that “It helps the microphone to pick up our voice instead of the ambient noise in the background”.

The Redmond ones promise up to 15 hours of battery life for the new Xbox wireless headsets. However, as always, this will depend on the distance from the console and other factors. Regardless, the company said that 30 minutes of charging should provide about 4 hours of battery life. This looks pretty good on paper.
