Microsoft is launching a new $ 99 Xbox Wireless headset next month. It is the first Xbox wireless headset since the days of Xbox 360 and was designed to connect with Xbox One and Xbox Series X / S consoles, PCs and mobile devices via Bluetooth.
The design of the Xbox Wireless Headset improves almost every aspect of the basic Xbox One Stereo and Wired Chat headsets that are available today. Microsoft relied on its work with Surface headsets to add similar rotating headset dials that allow it to adjust the volume and balance of the game / audio chat.

This new Xbox Wireless Headset is also designed to match the new Xbox Series X / S design, with a lightweight structure that features large leather protectors and an adjustable padded headband. It will also support Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone: X space sound technologies.
Microsoft also worked to improve the quality of the microphone, keeping Xbox chats in mind. This new headset features dual beam forming microphones and voice isolation to help isolate background noise. You can also pair the headset with your phone and Xbox at the same time, allowing you to hear audio or calls from your phone while playing.
The Xbox Wireless headset lasts up to 15 hours on battery and a 30-minute charge allows you to play for about four hours. A full charge will take about three hours. Microsoft is also updating the Xbox Accessories app to include control over the equalizer, bass boost, auto mute sensitivity, microphone monitoring, and microphone mute light brightness.
The new Xbox Wireless Headset will be available worldwide from March 16 at a price of $ 99. You can order the headset today at the Microsoft Store and other resellers.
