Connect and play with the new Xbox stereo headset

I think we all agree that audio is critical to our gaming experiences. Personally, I can’t play games without my favorite gaming headphones! At Xbox, we’ve made great strides over the last year to bring you some of the best gaming headsets out there. from our Xbox Wireless Headset to our partnership with the legendary audio makers of Bang & Olufsen and to the many other headsets we offer through our Made for Xbox program, we are confident that you will find the headsets that meet your gaming needs.

Today, you can add one more option to the list. We are pleased to announce our Xbox Stereo Headset, available to pre-order today. With the new Xbox Stereo Headset, we bring everything you have come to expect from Xbox products like performance, outstanding features, quality, and accessibility to deliver immersive experiences on consoles, PC, and mobile devices. We also wanted to bring more value to the entry-level headphone category, including clear mic performance, high-quality ear pads, and a volume control dial on the right ear cup.

Xbox stereo headsets feature many of the design elements found in Xbox wireless headsets. The flexible, lightweight design with an adjustable headband uses plush padding to distribute pressure more evenly around the top of your head. The large, ultra-soft headphones will keep you comfortable during those “long” gaming sessions, and the easy-access on-ear controls for volume and mute will make it a staple in your gaming arsenal. Connect directly to Xbox Wireless Controller or other devices via 3.5mm audio jack, no batteries required.

To create the best possible gaming, team chat, music and movie experience, the team tuned the headphones to replicate the desired audio recording source that the creators wanted you to experience. The result of this is to hear the audio as close to how it was recorded as possible, ensuring clean mid and high frequency performance with powerful bass. And to take your audio one step further, Xbox Stereo Headsets are compatible with high-fidelity spatial sound technologies such as Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: X (may require additional purchases or app downloads).

As someone who owns and uses three different headphones to play games, let me share how this became one of my daily controllers and why you will love it too:

• If you’re new to gaming and looking for a comfortable design, this is a great entry-level headset that includes many of the features found in our Xbox Wireless Headset.
• If you already own a wireless headset, this is the perfect addition to your setup for those times when you forget to charge it or replace the batteries.
• I also prefer to use wired headphones when gaming on my PC. This quickly became my favorite PC gaming headset because it offers the best sound quality and eliminates any latency issues.

Xbox Stereo Headsets are available to pre-order today from Microsoft Store and other select $ 59.99 retailers worldwide.
