Official Xbox Wireless Headset Announced

Fuck. I thought preorders were still open, I knew I should have pre ordered it this morning
I ordered the CloudX Flight last week, and those things are going right back once they arrive.
Ugh, I didn't realize preorders would go this fast, got super excited about this in the morning and then super distracted and forgot to order it. I have barely used Arctis 7x that I like quite a bit just have not had much cause to use, but this sounds really good and would like to have PC/Xbox audio stream at the same time (which seems possible with this) rather than having to switch a dongle/usb thingy.
Preordered right when wario64 posted it was on amazon. It had some generic placeholder title and no image.
Now they added a pic and the title is "
Xbox Wireless Headset, Switch, PS5"
I thought it wouldn't work with other systems. I was about ready to cancel when I saw people saying it wouldn't work with others. Will it?

Yes, the Microsoft pre-order has sold out but Game still have it listed at £5 cheaper than the RRP (no idea if they add postage to that)

Edit: appears they add £4.99 for postage which makes it pretty much the same price as direct from Microsoft who don't charge for that.
Glad I bit the bullet, wasn't actually expecting them to sell out, but I had my concerns. I've needed a new replacement for my dying Logitech ones, so this came at a good time.

Would they ship to the US?
I don't think anyone can answer that yet. I'm curious if chatmix (native gamebar) will work on Windows or if chatmix can mix bt/wireless if you're connected to two sources.
I'm guessing game/discord won't work for chatmix unless the headset shows up as two devices when you pair it with a wireless dongle. 🤷♂️
Yeesh was gonna preorder after work and surprised to see they're out on Amazon and through Microsoft. Keeping tabs on Best Buy.
Ngl this sell out shit is very frustrating. Like, just keep pushing back the delivery date estimate a la Apple instead of "whoops. Sold out! We'll randomly chuck more up every while so stay glued to twitter for when we release seven more!"
It doesn't just work that way. You can't just push the release date back without knowing when you'll get that product back in, and you can't just keep taking pre-orders for product you don't HAVE and have no idea how many of said product you'll have when it comes back in stock.
You also can't determine who will keep their preorders and who will cancel their preorders.
From what I'm reading $100 seems like a steal. Very aggressive price point for what they offer.
- "You can also simultaneously pair the headset to your phone and Xbox. That means, for example, that you can chat with a friend or – as the engineering team recalls doing – dial in to a conference call on your phone and play on your console at the same time." -
That's what sold me. Awesome feature.

yeah he's likely wrong. according to the page it definitely supports audio over USB, just a matter of seeing if that applies to USB > 3.5mm
being able to have xbox audio and then Discord audio from mobile (and PC?) all wireless is....extremely enticing....and that price....uggggggggggh
Already sold out at Microsoft but I ordered it via Bol.com in the Netherlands. Delivery on March 16th.
Will replace my Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 1.

Not sure, plus there's likely to be import tax to consider if you did order them from the U.K.

I can't get them into the basket in Game. Just keeps coming up an error.
The Amazon page for it mentions PS5 and Switch compatibility.
Works here, I got as far as it wanting me to sign in and confirm delivery details. I'm using my phone for what it's worth.
Damn, I got the Arctis 9X for double the price in Dezember.
Now I just hope that the Microsoft headset does not sound better. :D
It also uses Bluetooth, it should work fine with PS5.
I see no reason why it wouldn't.

Yep seems to be the best feature along with the twirly volume controls.
People are thirsty for new stuff in this time. And good price off course
Price is ridiculously good, most headsets that allow BT mixing are double this price.
Just need to see the reviews to see how this 'best in class' sound is.
I don't see it in the same ballpark as hi res headsets like Arctis Pro, but its still phenomenal value.
Oh damn, that's expensive for what it is. It's usually around $75 in the US.
If I use a Bose QC 35 II and the Hyper X cloud 2 headsets, would I actually benefit from something like these?
I usually just plug those headsets directly into the Dualsense/Xbox controller - the wire doesn't bother me, nor does connecting to two different channels.
Audio is still comparable even when plugged in to a controller I assume?

Sony doesn't allow bluetooth for gaming audio. It would need to have a dongle or be able to connect it via 3.5 mm jack into the controller if it has that capability.
