Dolby virtual 7.1 hoss...

Gidal, I was told to enable Windows Sonic, but when I checked, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X were also available. I enabled DTS:X and the difference is much better. I can hear footsteps clearly. I'm still tinkering with the equalizer and i'll probably turn down the bass but the clarity is much better now. They are worth the money and the wireless convenience. They don't come close to your Sennheisers, I have some IE800's so I know what kind of difference they make but the wireless convenience and DTS:X makes them worth the buy. After pairing, it's pain free to use.

I tried these but had to return them. Here's why:
- Audio quality is quite poor
- Audio cuts out frequently
- Mixer knob only turns down volume of one thing (I can't remember if it was game audio or voice chat, but it doesn't truly mix by turning one up and the other down)
- Surprisingly, the game audio volume is restrained to a small range. There's a max volume that is not very loud at all, and the min volume is not that quiet before it jumps to silent. It's like the potentiometer used is not very accurate and has big jump. So you go from low-ish to silent with no in-between
- It's weird, but the feature to easily switch between two devices, like the controllers, does not work between two Xbox wireless devices. So you can't switch between two Xboxes. And if you're like me and supported MS by getting the Xbox wireless receiver for PC for better connectivity, you can't switch between that and your Xbox. I really wanted the headset and controller to be able to swap between my Xbox and PC since I switch between those quite often.

If you can deal with those issues, then have at it. It was just too much disappointment for me for $100. It was a great idea with the Xbox+BT connection at the same time, and I would've kept it to use strictly for that if it didn't have the cutout issues, but stacking all the other stuff on top was too much. Maybe wait for a second iteration, or look for a 3rd party headset that can do the same with connecting through Xbox wireless and BT at the same time. You'll probably pay more, but I would bet the quality would be better

Got these a few months ago, surprised me how great they are in the sub-$100 category. Most $150+ headsets have been substantially better than the sub-$100 headsets but not this time, this newest Series X/S Xbox Wireless Heaset punches above its weight class and is nearly as good as more expensive headsets. Somehow, microsoft nailed everything just right with these. Small nitpicks from my usage, turning this headset on also turns on the Xbox like the controller would do, but I sometime use this headset over bluetooth with my Gaming PC and iPad IOS games so it gets a bit annoying for me to manually turn off my Xbox. Just a small inconvenience, since these are mainly targeted at console gamers, I just happen to be in the minority and use these for PC and iPad sometimes.
