Too much bass can overpower and muddy the other frequencies that are equally as important, leaving you with a muffled sound that won’t do you any favors in online multiplayer games. There’s even a bass boost option that goes up to +12, which honestly, seems downright excessive considering just how low these headphones can go.īut while that’s all well and good, having a purely bass-driven pair of headphones isn’t ideal when you’re playing competitive shooters or even more cinematic single-player experiences. Seriously, these are superb at delivering that low-end sound that so many people crave and enjoy. It provides truly incredible bass reproduction – and there were times when we felt as though we had our ears pressed up against a DJ’s subwoofer. If you’re someone who loves nothing more than a hard thumping bassline, the Xbox Wireless Headset won’t disappoint. When we first put the Xbox Wireless Headset on, we were impressed and concerned in equal measure by how bass-heavy the sound signature was. They’re not uncomfortable by any means – the oval ear cushions are made of polyurethane leather and have foam cushioning, but we did notice that this reviewer’s particularly large ears would feel a little tender after a few hours. While it won't impact everyone, one slight we do have against the Xbox Wireless Headset, is that the ear cups could be a touch too small for those with larger heads and ears. You can also comfortably crank up the volume with room to spare thanks to the headset’s 32 Ohm impedance, and the speaker response of 20Hz - 20kHz should mean no audio details you’ve come to expect in your go-to games are missed. The Xbox Wireless Headset wasn’t prone to any creaking during our testing, and the overall clamping force was more than reasonable to ensure a comfortable fit.Īt 312g, the headset is also light enough that you won’t feel it weighing down on your head after hours of play. You simply turn either the left or right rubberized earcup dial to adjust the volume or chat to your liking, and it’s super easy to make incremental adjustments.ĭespite being a mostly plastic design, the Xbox Wireless Headset feels built to last and the materials used convey a real premium feel that belies the $100 price tag Microsoft has somehow managed to hit. You also get audio cues that Xbox owners will immediately recognise when you power them down, mute the microphone or pair the headset, too.Īdjusting volume or balancing game and voice chat is nothing short of a pleasure on the Xbox Wireless Headset thanks to the rubberized dials that we’ve seen in another of Microsoft’s audio products, the Microsoft Surface Headphones.

Powering up the headset, which is done by pressing the light green power button located on the left-hand side, greets you with the familiar Xbox Series X boot up sound. The inside of the earcups, which are handily marked with large ‘L’ and ‘R’ letters, also have a faint green hue that seeps through the mesh, as the driver’s are also coated in Xbox’s familiar brand color. The all-black design is embellished with tasteful touches, such as the thin green rings that surround the outside of each earcup and the embossed Xbox logo on the right-hand side. Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless Headset mirrors the design language of the Xbox Series X to an impressive degree.
