Reddit reviews Xbox One Stereo Headset

To begin with, I'd rate most TV sound experiences ~ 3/10.

If you're on a budget, for less than $50 the Xbox One Stereo Headset will get you omnidirectional sound and enchance you're experience quite a bit. I'd rate the sound experience 6/10. https://amzn.com/B00IAVDQCK

If you can spend $100, buy the Cloud II's. They're considered HiFi and they're amazing quality. Sound experience 8/10. https://amzn.com/B00SAYCXWG

If you can spend $230, buy the Cloud II's and the MixAmp Pro TR, which gives you access to 7.1 Surround Sound and maximizes the Cloud II's potential. Phenomenal sound experience 11/10. https://amzn.com/B014H2YSEK

I am speaking from my own personal experience with each.

Xbox One Stereo Headset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAVDQCK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TybBCbTGW88ZW

I've been using these for 2/3 years, love them. Comfortable as hell, great sound quality, removable headset adapter piece worth the price alone for using any future headsets/ear buds he may get

How about those Turtle Beach Stealth 500X headsets? Anybody know if those are going on sale anywhere?

*Decided to settle for the XBox One stereo headset since it's on sale for 35 bucks. What I lose in audio quality and being able to hear myself speak I make up for by saving 200 bucks.

I liked the XB1 surround headset myself. Good price point and fully compatible with no extra crap to go through.

Wallet Friendly: Xbox One Stereo Headset

Best of the best: Astro A50 (has dolby digital surround sound and nice thumping bass)

Source: Me, I own both headsets.

> -can I hear game audio and player communication through the included headset, if not is there a headset that will allow me to do that?

Not with the included headset, but almost all other headsets will have that functionality. The Xbox Stereo Headset is great and actually on sale for $40 (normally $80).

Yes, you can sell the AC codes on /r/gamesale or ebay/wherever.

Those are a steal. Easily worth $40

Looks like I'm just going with the Xbox One Stereo Headset which is much less in comparison but much more simple in comparison but it's good because I am not fully committed to gaming on the Xbone yet. Thanks for the suggesting regardless!

I recommend you read this review before purchase http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/B00IAVDQCK/R1NJ0MWJ0Q8402/ref=mw_dp_cr?cursor=2&qid=1419873380&sort=rd&sr=8-11

Microsoft Stereo Headset - $59.57

EDIT: free two day shipping and $3.99 next-day delivery.

I got this one for my son, and it's pretty good value for the price. The sound is good, the virtual surrounds works well and it fits my giant head comfortably.

The only downside I see is that the microphone is on a stiff plastic arm and cannot be placed very close to your mouth.

Xbox One Stereo Headset by Microsoft Software http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAVDQCK/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_7MJPub18T4EGP

Yes, and yes.

The x12 headset requires stereo RCA (red & white) audio jacks to get game audio, and the Xbox One does not provide that. So, you will need something else, and that "something" depends on the rest of your setup. Check for an audio output on the stereo system or TV you plug your Xbone into. If none is available, you can use the Xbone's optical output and something to convert it to RCA -- here is one example I found just searching for "Optical to RCA".

Also, the chat cable (that goes from the headset to the 360 controller) will not plug in to the Xbone controller directly; you will need the Stereo Headset Adapter. Plug it in, and then use the balance controls on the adapter to be completely on "chat", so that it only emits chat audio and not game audio.

Note that you can get away with just using the Stereo Headset Adapter to get both game and chat audio through the controller and the chat cable, but in my experience with the x41 headset, it sounds like crap, because the headset is expecting a mono chat audio source and processes it as such.

Honestly, for the price and hassle, you'd be better off just picking up the Stereo Headset. You'll get the same stereo quality of the x12, but it's just using a single cable connection to your controller, and it'll cost as much or less as the equipment you'd need to get the x12 hooked up.

This is heavily dependent on the type of glasses you wear, OP. I purchased my new pair to be as lightweight as possible, and I have very few issues with headsets now. Aside from that, these headphones are the most comfortable I've worn, and I've experimented quite a bit with Sennheisers and Audio Technicas. I also have no issues with the Microsoft stereo headset. Quite comfortable actually. I'll also echo others and say that TBs are generally uncomfortable. My local Walmart had all the TBs on display ready to try if you want to experiment.

Amazon has them too for $40

and I'm happy with mine. Sounds quite Nice.

Yes! If you have (at least +1) other speaker, you can group rooms together. The cooler feature is that I can be streaming pandora to my kitchen, I can be streaming spotify to my playbar (and I did this the other day) AT THE SAME TIME was streaming the XB1 in-game audio to my M$ Stereo Headset

how much for this?

Microsoft's Stereo Headset is about $44 on Amazon right now. I highly recommend it.

Ive heard this is a great headset, dont know if this will work for you or not. I currently use turtle beach x07, its an awesome headset. Good luck. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IAVDQCK/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1452045466&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX220_SY330_QL65&keywords=xbox+one+headset&dpPl=1&dpID=41K9RkBzEFL&ref=plSrch

According to Amazon reviews, the MS headset is pretty good based on its price and the features it offers. Here's the link
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IAVDQCK/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?pc_redir=T1

Polk is coming out with a new headset this month, on the 11th: Link. I'm going to wait to see the reviews for it, and if it doesn't look good; i'm going to get the Xbox One Stereo Headset. I would get Astros, but I don't want to go bankrupt.

Be sure to submit the secondipity link to amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IAVDQCK/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) at the bottom there's a link to report a lower price and sometimes they will price match it.

Based on the edit2, if you only need it for xbone this should work xbox stereo headset

I've had the xbox one stereo headset for a year now and I've been pleased with it. It's comfortable and sounds really good for the price. It looks a little funny on my head but i don't wear it out in public. Xbox One Stereo Headset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAVDQCK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_c1WzwbADPKT1F

I'd say to just upgrade to something newer, instead of buying a converter, a new higher quality headset would be much more satisfying to have. Even the simple [Xbox One Headset] (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00IAVDQCK) would be good for you.

Let me know your price range, and ill find some good headsets for you if you want!

The Xbox One stereo headset is actually a great deal and has pretty darn good audio: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00IAVDQCK

You mean this? It can't connect directly to a headset, it goes through the controller, either using the adapter to convert it to a regular 3.5" combined headphone/speaker jack, or using the official headset that plugs straight into the controller.

Does anyone know if the chatpad accessory that plugs into the controller works? Been thinking about grabbing one just for this.

And if so, does anybody know if it works with the official stereo headset (this one)?

I use the SteelSeries 9H headset. In terms of durability, it's the best headset I've used.

Yeah, it's my preferred headset, honestly. It's cheap and it'll probably break eventually. I've gone through two. But I prefer hearing game audio through my audio bar and just getting chat through the one ear.

There's no setup necessary. You just have a mute and volume control.

I didn't care for these and returned them for the Hyper X. I'm sorry, but I can't recall what my issues were with it.

You could always go a bit more generic with a new headset.

In your opinion, how does the Xbox One Stereo Headset compare?

been eyeing the official Xbox headset for a while... can anyone give me a review?

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00IAVDQCK/ref=zg_bs_6469291011_1

For some reason when you search it on Amazon, the listing is from a third party which is selling it for more than $25. If you go to the amazon listing for the headset, then you can select just the adapter for $25 from amazon.

Considering most third party headsets need the adapter I suggest getting the Xbox One Stereo Headset since it comes with one and the Headset + adapter is currently cheaper than the adapter alone. I bought one a few hours ago for 35$ but now looks like it went up to 40$, still a better deal. You can upgrade later on since you now have the adapter.

Didn't realize this. I'll definitely be getting the PS4 edition. It mentions that voice chat for the Xbox One requires an additional cable that's sold separately. Are they referring to the headset adaptor?

This guy has on-and-off been sold for $40 (typically $55-$60) and is the best off-the-rack set of wireless 'phones for the money. The cord you see plugs into the XBone controller. Good stuff really.

Not quite the sound odyssey of those Turtle Beaches but for the econo player they're nice.

Great deal on this headset right now that matches your price point! :)

I bought the XB1 play and charge kit - well worth the money. Comes with a rechargable battery pack and a micro usb cable for charging (which also fits a phone so you can charge it on the XB1 if you desire). Regarding the Kinect, I love mine and use it all the time. I highly recommend you try it. Nothing quite like controlling your media/tv with your voice. I walk into the house and simply say "Xbox on" and my whole setup lights up - I can change channels/music while cleaning too which is boss. Welcome to the club!!!

For that price, Microsoft's own stereo headset has pretty good reviews on sound quality and comfort. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Stereo-Headset-360/dp/B00IAVDQCK

I have this one and really like it. Not the greatest headset on the market, but I was able to pick it up cheap. Game and chat audio come through, and it comes with the stereo adapter for the OG controller.

xbox stereo headset comes with an adapter

If i get this Xbox one stereo headset is there a way i can get it to work for my pc as well?

Sounds like the Microsoft branded one may be the right buy. (includes adapter)

Alternately, I'm using these and loving them

You'd need the chat adapter for the mic, though. The HUUUGE upside to these is I can also connected to a bluetooth device and listen to tunes while I game.

The reality though... these are the ones you'll want (when they release)

The headset that comes with the console is good enough to communicate with people, but if you can afford to or you have some room on your Christmas gift list, even consider the Xbox One Stereo Headset. For their price, they are fantastic. Audio is nice and clear with a pretty decent frequency range and the voice chat is super easy to balance with the game volume. It also comes with the adapter that lets you plug any headphones into your controller and use them which is about $20 by itself anyway. So the one you get is fine to use and you will be able to chat fine, but if you talk a whole lot and want something cost effective but still very good, I would suggest having a bit more of a look into that headset :)

It's an official headset.

Yesterday I was playing a mission with my headset plugged in and halfway through the mission (my first one after undocking the controller from the charger), my controller disconnects from the game in the middle of a firefight due to the battery dying. My character ended up getting killed - my first solo pve death. I was sad.

Maybe it didn't dock right on the cradle and wasn't actually fully charged. I didn't check the battery level before playing. I just assumed it was due to the headset because without the headset my battery life has been excellent.

I do also have an Astro A50 I am considering moving off my PC to my xbox, as it has its own power source. The only downside is it has more configuration to undergo and there doesn't seem to be any app to test my microphone to make sure it is working.

Yup, that's the one I'm currently using with it! I assume you mean this one.

It's this type of headset and here are some pictures of it. As for Destiny it's this edition and basically new but it doesn't have the codes. I installed the disc so it's in prime condition. Let me know if you'd like to proceed with the sale or you would like some more pictures :)

This mic for Xbox One I bought recently and it's a great price: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00IAVDQCK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408815286&sr=8-2&keywords=xbox+one+stereo

I'm not really into talking in game chat but it's great for talking with friends and listening to game audio. Plus you can plug earbuds into the adapter too if you just want audio.

Comes with the adaptor you need.

Requires a USB plug for power (Not sure if Macs have spare USBs?) but has better audio quality than the Xbone headset.

Personally since I have the PS4, I chose the Playstation Wireless Gold Stereo Headset paired with the Official Headset Adapter. The sound is great and it's amazingly comfortable. You're able to plug it into cell phones, computers, and anything with an auxiliary input! It runs for $99, but I suppose that for $79 you can get the official Xbox Headset too, though it only works with the Xbox One.

PS: Amazon prices are MUCH cheaper than retail prices just in case you didn't know :)

This is by far the best bang for your buck! UNDER $60 for the headset and the universal adapter needed for any headsets/headphones of any quality/functionality!

I've had these for over a year now. I just put them on a headset stand on my desk after using.

Under $50 and I LOVE this headset. Well worth the price. Works great for PS4 even though its Xbox Branded.

Xbox One Stereo Headset by Microsoft Software http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAVDQCK/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_IsZgtb0EDMDXG

The one that ships with the Xbox One only plays voice chat. You would need the Xbox One Stereo Headset in order to listen to in game audio.

The Microsoft headset (this one) includes the adapter, and can be found relatively cheap.

They're not the greatest headset ever, but they're decent enough for the price.
