Pros: Excellently implemented multipoint connection easy-to-use dial controls big sound for the price matches minimalist Xbox Series X design Cons: Bass dominates the mid and high frequencies a bit too much Xbox and PC-only no 3.5mm jack We also like that the bendable boom mic is easy to flick out of the way when not in use. While we wish the earcups rotated like those of obvious rivals from SteelSeries, we think the headset will comfortably fit most head shapes. Though, you should expect your ears to start cooking pretty quickly under there in a warm house. The Xbox Wireless Headset is fairly lightweight and its pleather earpads provide plenty of cushioning. The mix can occasionally get a bit muddled but, for a £90 experience, it’s hard to complain. A trio of spatial audio standards is supported, with the headset defaulting to Windows Sonic, with Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X being available through a subscription. Out of the box, the low-end frequency response is so punchy that we actually had to turn bass down slightly in the EQ app, but it adds real drama to action-heavy games. In terms of sound, you might be surprised at just how hard the Xbox Wireless Headset kicks.

You also get a big mute button, retractable mic and then power and Bluetooth buttons sitting alongside each other, with the power button protruding to set them apart. There’s a wheel on either side – one for adjusting volume and the other for prioritising game or chat audio. In terms of controls, they are all well distanced and easy to differentiate just by touch – making it simple to change up your settings in-game. However, you only need to sort this once and, then, it’s a dream. The Velcro and elastic design isn’t the easiest to wrestle with. The only frustration we ran into with this device was getting the headband fit right on the initial setup. Your first experience with this wireless gaming headset may not be the most pleasant.

There are more well-built and luxurious gaming headsets for an even higher price but Steelseries nails a balance between comfort and impressive gaming-centric audio for the PC and PS5. This very much goes for the Arctis 9 Wireless (£159) too, and it works with tremendous success, making it the best wireless gaming headset and, ultimately.
Veteran peripheral hitmakers Steelseries tend to go for the understated over the occasional blinding grandeur of some more extravagant rivals, with headsets like the Arctis 1 and Arctis 7 doing just that.
