Microsoft has upgraded its own-brand gaming headset, with the new Xbox Wireless Headset now coming with longer battery life and enhanced microphone.
Microsoft’s official gaming headset for theXbox Series X/S and Xbox One has been refreshed with an enhanced model.
The new Xbox Wireless Headset for 2024 only a fraction more than the original at launch – £99.99 / $109.99 / AU$159.95 – but adds a few key extras and improvements that make it very much worth while.
DTS Headphone:X is supported, too. And thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, you can use it with a mobile phone, not just an Xbox or PC.
There’s also improved battery life, which can now run up 20 hours between charges.

Finally, an upgraded microphone can be found on the new version, which has enhanced auto-mute technology on board, plus better voice isolation.
The most eagle-eyed readers will notice that there’s been a tweak to the design as well, with the green bands around the ear cups replaced with an all-black colour theme.
