Screwed by the editing on this one (extra 10 mins of black screen at end), it should be fixed soon.

I’m pretty sure you can change the game/chat balance in the Xbox quick menu…

The Xbox Stereo headset (Wired) has the best Mic quality in my opinion.

[pressrepeat]

The wired is an awesome deal. It’s often on sale. The wireless microphone is terrible, plus the need for charging is a turn off. Eventually, the battery will die.

All you need is the headset adapter for the controller. Then you can control the game chat audio. Most of us have one of those already. I use a turtle beach adapter and it works perfectly. The sound is amazing for a $60 headset.
I have the Astro A50's and these wired headphones are on par if not better. I use Dolby Atmos for headphones and the sound quality is Amazing on these.

If you want to be picky you'll always find something to complain about. I can't stand battery powered headsets anymore so these are perfect in every way for me. Nothing worse than sitting down for long gaming session with a dead headset..

I give a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating for these .

You know you can adjust the game / chat volume in the Xbox settings right?

[minitrucker]

I have the wireless ones and love them. Got my son the wired because he never charges his. The sound profile is completely different, does not do Microsoft spatial audio, and does not support the Dolby Atmos Codec either. The wired is just a stereo headset. The atoms is wheres its at. It adds big sound and more EQ adjustment. Just some info that's not in this video.

I find it incredible that so many headphone reviews hardly talk about the sound quality… you know, the most important thing for headphones? But, luckily you mentioned the most important thing - the sound quality is barely better in the wireless ones. And the sound on the wired ones is appalling, unfortunately I own them 😂

[TPGKDUB]

You forgot to cover the Bluetooth where you can listen to music, answer phone calls while still gaming 🔥

[daviddamasceno]

It was a great video, congratulations. You answered all my questions. It's a pity that either option has their own issues, but I think I'd rather getting the wireless one, since I'm more concerned about hearing the game. But yeah, the mic from the wired one is much better.

It is worthy to note now switch put an update out to let you use Bluetooth headphones.

[Arapaho]

Any difference in sound quality on the wired one with the adapter for Xbox controllers? I use an adapter on my Xbox one, also helps solve the “game/party chat” volume you’ve spoken on.

Great review video in a relatively short time span. Basically everything you need to know without elaborating unnecessarily. No need to make a 10, 15min video like some other channels do. Thanks!

[scribblelul]

I've your videos sorry that I'm late your so good at editing!

[supinthiam]

For anyone who has damaged the wire for the Xbox wired headset. Just goto target and say that you bought the headphones yesterday and it came with a damaged wire. They will replace it without a receipt. 😂😃

[hitwall]

If you only use the 3.5 mm to the controller you are only getting 2 channel stereo. Isn't that the main difference between wired and wireless when it comes to the audio?

[marcelmeyer]

I really dont understand the criticism regarding the volume controls. I mean is it really so bad pressing the guide button and turning chat volume down there? That 2 extra button presses saved is not worth paying 80 bucks more lul.

[JustinbTV]

The sound quality is way better than wireless even with the old headsets

[sambowks]

You can change the game/chat mix settings in the Xbox side menu

Awesome review.. will I be able to stream with this wired headset?
