Consol Headset

So I have Xbox Series S coming next month and I'd like a headset ideally wireless, can any one recommend anything that's out how that will work?

Would be used for voice chat as well

Seen this and assuming as USB C will work, never had any steel series stuff so no idea how good they are as a brand

The steelseries arctis headsets that work with xbox directly are the 7x and 9x, they use Microsofts 2.4ghx wireless spec so just sync to your xbox like a controller, no dongles, cables or base stations.
They also do a version of the Arctis 1 for xbox that has a dongle for wireless xbox which supports series s/x.

I can strongly recommend the 9x but it is expensive (around £180) the 7x is a little cheaper but spec wise looks very similar, the "1 for xbox" is the cheapest and i have no idea how they perform.

I have an old set of 800x which is the older version of the wireless pro that has the breakout box etc, sounds amazing but uses optical for xbox and requires a chat cable to the controller to coms,
I dropped it for my 9xs and just use it for my PC now (where its excellent).

Thanks, the 7x look great but also still abit too expensive for me currently, I will however see if they come on offer on prime day as that's only couple days away

Had the 9X and they were trash for disconnections, well documented. Hard to get tech help from Steel Series, they don't even have a forum and customer support was non existent. Swapped them for 3X bluetooth instead, so I can play wired but at the same time connect to my phone or whatever else.

I have constantly found the advantage of playing wireless to be so small compared to the downsides. I find having a small wire running to the controller never ever bothers me. The £70 to £150 range for wireless are just not worth the niggles.

Sucks to hear, so far I haven't had any issues with mine and hope I don't.
