Microsoft has launched a dedicated wireless headset for its next-gen consoles. Simply dubbed the ‘Xbox Wireless Headset’, the headphones are designed in a way that will ensure “true-to-life” audio for games and will put users right in the middle of all the action.
The company announced the Xbox Wireless Headset via an official blog post and a promo video (attached below) showcasing it in all its glory. The device is engineered to deliver “best-in-class audio and chat performance, outstanding design and comfort, and unique experiences that are tailored for each gamer,” says the blog post.
Apart from delivering high-end audio for games, the Xbox Wireless Headset also packs intelligent chat features to ensure better comms in multiplayer titles. Its dual beamforming microphone is designed to focus on speech audio instead of the surrounding ambient noises. Moreover, the device has this nifty auto-mute feature (which can also be turned on/ off manually with a dedicated button) that automatically mutes the mic when the user is not talking to “keep comms channel clear” during the games.
Coming to the design aspect of the headset, it carries a modern and sleek look which, as per the manufacturers, has been taken from the design language of their latest consoles. It has been designed to be lightweight and comes with “ultra-soft ear cups made of polyurethane leather that distributes pressure evenly over the ears”.
Price and Availability
Now, we have seen a similar Xbox Series X|S-focused headset from Razer that comes with a ton of features. However, the biggest takeaway of this Microsoft hardware is its super-affordable price tag.
