Xbox Stereo Headset

The Xbox Stereo Headset is adequate for wired gaming. This headset has a comfortable and well-built design that shouldn't be too tiring to wear throughout a long gaming marathon. It has a boom mic that's able to record your voice clearly, although it has trouble separating speech from moderate ambient noise, which can be an issue if you're gaming near an open window with a lot of traffic. Unfortunately, it lacks sound customization features like an EQ to help adjust its sound to your liking.

The Xbox Stereo Headset is the cheaper, wired gaming headset from Microsoft. Though the no-frills 3.5mm cable means you don’t have to charge them and they can be used on more than just the Xbox Series X / S consoles.
