Microsoft goes sleek and wire-free with its new official Xbox headset.
Microsoft just unveiled the Xbox Wireless Headset, its first cable-free headphones designed for Xbox consoles, PC, and mobile devices. With various gaming-tuned features at an attractive mid-range price tag, they're shaping up as an official solution with value to impress. But they enter an increasingly competitive market, with many of the best Xbox One wireless headsets delivering leading value at lower prices than ever.
But the new Xbox Wireless Headset appears well-geared to the average Xbox owner, pitched with "best in class" audio and a rich assortment of social features. Preorders are already live ahead of their March ship date — and here's what you need to know.

It's designed to work with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles, but with extended compatibility with Windows PCs, mobiles, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
