Where are people pre-ordering from in the UK?
Went with GAME, ugh. At least they don't charge until a week before.

I doubt that's changing anytime soon. Sony doesn't even do this with their own headphones which I find absolutely baffling.
Like a few others said, I would like a premium headset. My Sony XM3s are great for audio but I really don't have any need for actual communication as my friend base is on Sony/discord rather than Xbox. But I bought the Platinum headset for PS4 and it is fantastic. The sound quality is good and the baked in features just make it so convenient in a way that most third parties just don't.
I have a pair of Sony XM4 that I use wirelessly on my PS5, and they are fantastic. You just need a low latency bluetooth adapter such as the Route Air Pro. Works on PC and Switch as well, but haven't tried on the XSX yet.
Link for everyone like me who went to look and had to Wade through countless 3rd party headsets:
Xbox Wireless Headset for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 Devices https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08WJSJT4J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_FXP3VY5EHA5RXEK0XP00
What I mean is that there should be a native first party solution, not a third party adapter/dongle. I'm already heavily invested in the Sony audio market, doesn't make sense that Sony can't just offer a Sony bluetooth adapter that works with all of their bluetooth products AND can benefit from the sound enhancements built into the headphones app/playstation headset functions.
I decided to sell my Surface Headphones 2 to get this headset.
I love my Surface Headphones, but it was always an annoyance that it didn't have native Xbox wireless compatibility.
If this new headset can offer Surface Headphones level audio quality, minus noise cancellation, a carrying case, and a 3.5mm port, but with added Xbox Wireless support, for less than half the price, it'll be an absolute steal.
And ya'll, those rotating dials that they're bringing from the Surface Headphones are freaking awesome. The coolest, most intuitive way to adjust your audio on a pair of headphones.

man, should i go for it or wait ?
this seems good and well in demand, and their surface headphones are pretty well received.
but would prefer something that'll work wireless on both ps5 and xbox. tired of having multiple headsets.
do arctic series x7 and x9 fit that bill?

15 hours? Your gaming sessions is likely not going to be longer than that in one sitting. Simply leave it plugged after you're done.
Just the 7x I believe. I want a pair of 7x's but they aren't in stock anywhere so I've just preordered these
Thank you! Pre-ordered.
I had some Amazon credit left over from Christmas gifts so easy grab for me.
The SteelSeries 7x or Audeze Penrose X are the two options currently.
Cloud IIs are based off of a headset that was never intended to be paired with low powered devices like phones or video game controllers, which is why Hyperx includes a USB adapter to pump the volume and bass up. It wasn't until the Cloud Alpha that they specifically made a headset for gaming. This MS headset is obviously built from the ground up for gaming and has an equalizer built into the XSX/S itself, so the way it sounds will be completely up to you.
Do you mean the Xbox PC adapter or an actual bluetooth adapter. Either way, it works on both. Not sure how the latency is for gaming via bluetooth though.
I currently run my Cloud II's straight into the Stereo port on the PC with no USB dongle since that's the optimal way with Dolby Atmos Headphones.
PCs aren't typically low powered devices. The Cloud 2 run directly into my Dualshock 4 or Dualsense sounds absolutely terrible. Almost no bass and very low volume. It needs a bit of power to get the most out of it, but then again it's a normal headphone that Hyperx turned into a gaming headset.
Thank you for this...so helpful. Had a pre-order through GAME but they charge a fiver for delivery.
Surprised that only MS and Amazon have had these up for order in the US so far, as far as I can tell.
85 for me when I ordered an hour ago. Must be an incentive to get new orders in.
I just got my pre order from EB Games... I would imagine that means GameStop should be getting it as well.
Just checked and not there yet at least.

I've purchased (pre-ordered, obviously... )one of these despite being relatively happy with my current RIG 800LX headphones (I say relatively because they don't seem to handle bassy explosions very well).
I plan to move the RIG's to my PC, freeing up another USB port on the Xbox (the new Microsoft headphones don't require a dongle) and allow for another USB HDD to be added to the Xbox. Yay!

As an owner of the Surface Headphones, I'm really excited that they've brought over the earpiece dials for volume / mic control. Super intuitive.

Same here. Good stuff!
The feature of being able to connect to both the Xbox and your phone at the same time is really neat. I'm curious if I could connect to both PC and my phone at the same time too? Would be great.
