I still use my old one. Being able to connect to both my console and phone at the same time is awesome! I can now talk to my wife over the phone when she's at work AND hear my game audio!
@@sw201444 Yeah, it was the main selling point for me! Now I can talk on the phone, listen to a UA-cam guide on a game, or just put on a podcast while mindlessly grinding. You don't realize how much quality of life this one feature fixes until you use it
Let's be honest y'all.....sound enjoyment is always subjective. Some folks like a lot of bass (me), while others don't want any bass at all. And that's ok. That's why there's this nifty invention called "EQ Adjustments". Personally, I use my XBWH with it's default settings (lots of bass), combined with Dolby Atmos for extra clarity. Best of both worlds!
Wish we had some reviews. The original is fine, but you need to adjust the EQ a little bit with the accessories app - it’s too bass heavy out of the box. Turn down 125hz by 3 and 250hz down by 2. That brings out the highs. Enjoy.
I just got mine yesterday and they actually did improve a lot for example the mic monitoring and auto mute is insanely more accurate and the audio sounds less muddy and more clear compared to the first headset
Oh, that’s so good, I just bought mine today in the morning. They’re arriving tomorrow, very excited and the best part about it. No ugly nasty dongleto attach my Xbox.
Wondering, are you using it on Xbox? I tried it on PC today and it's absolutely terrible. I might use my old one for PC and new for Xbox once I try it out on there. Maybe mine is just busted oob.
@@FearlessAngeI For whatever reason I had to connect it to my Xbox to get it to update, but as a headset that is touted for multiple devices that seems inherently stupid. So what anytime I want to update it I have to connect the one I use for my PC to my Xbox?
"bass heavy". And that's the main thing that I love about the first Xbox Wireless Headset. It outputs the perfect amount of bass for me. The explosions in video games and action movies really deliver a serious punch with these headphones! I'm hoping that the bass response remains the same with the new XBWH.
Hope these ones do not turn on my Xbox every time. Sucks trying to use them for everything else because of that. Keep that to just the Controllers. That makes more sense.
It would also turn off in 30s if not connected to an Xbox. I tried using them between Xbox and pc but the Xbox would turn on and it favored the Xbox over my pc.
Have you checked your "Power" settings? I have an Xbox series X and one of the Power functions is to allow the headset to turn on my Xbox, I use it and enjoy the functionality however I only use the headset for gaming.
@SouthWestJeff you can turn that off in the power options? Well damn, I wonder when they implemented that! I'm going to sort that out now as that really used to annoy me
now sony owns audeze, xbox should team up with a legitimate headphone manufactuere for an elite model. The audeze planar drivers in the pulse elite make them not just one of the best gaming headsets. It makes them one of the best budget headphones on the market period. they sound so good i bought a pair for my xbox and just use them wired.
It's just an update. Hopefully the chat mix function works this time. Mine is just greyed out and the wheel does nothing -I think a lot of people had the same issue
I really hope they have upped the sound quality on these.. I like the other one from a comfort and convenience standpoint but the sq is severely lacking. No LFE below 50ish hz, overemphasized mid and high bass exacerbates the lack of low end, and the highs are a big muddy mess. Honestly, while they're well built and comfortable, they suck because of the SQ. I really hope they are better this time around. posted this before I watched the vid, Brad said the same things I did lol. looking at the page for this it says you can pair to your xbox and phone simultaneously.. which is awesome.
Mine is kinda still working. However I had to replace the foam ear cups and foam headband, which for the latter part one of its plastic pieces got a crack, which caused the general headband to being loose. Also the audio quality seems different because the foam is thicker than the original ones. The most major issue is that the Headset sometimes it turns off completely right after I turned it on, which only happens when it connects first to a Bluetooth device and then to the Official Wireless Frequency (a.k.a Xbox Console or Wireless Adapter for Windows) - however it doesn't happen when other way around, only connected to BT or Wireless, or when connected first to BT, then way later to Wireless bc turning on PC/Xbox. The rarest issue is when I recharge my Headset while it's on, the back LED starts to light both Orange and White LED color, causing it to Glow in Pink.
Idk about you guys but I had the previous gen and it was BRUTAL with cutting out while playing. I really like them when they work but some days have been almost unbearable
I have the 20th anniversary headset. I have a PS4 Gold headset that I love, but the headband recently snapped. I got a Steelseries Nova pro 1 wired and its not bad but I noticed a difference for sure.
Does it work with pc now ? I bought 1 few weeks back and the audio just keeps cutting out. It’s connected through the Xbox dongle thingy. So gave it to grandson.
That's not the headset but the crappy dongle and protocol. I've tried the dongle with Xbox, Razer and TB, and they all started distorting and cutting out after a few minutes of use (on PC). I've avoided that protocol ever since (switched to Arctis Nova 7x - same crap sound, same discomfort due to small cups but usable mic, which the XWH doesn't have, and stable connection).
@@DIY-Morti looks like I’m buying a 3rd headphone then. I’ve got Corsair xb and that does the cut out thing. Now I know it’s the dongle (I also wasted £70+ as I could only get it with a controller + dongle bundle). My pc is behind the tv in lounge so have to be wireless headphones.
I've had mine for years and it worked well. The only issue I had was that the end of my mic kinda exploded one night 🤯which was very odd. I had to put it back together and tape it.
Just literally bought one, it’s arriving tomorrow. I really needed some new ones because unfortunately, I started getting tons of connectivity issues with a non-first party headset . What a shame because of those headsets I bought last year and it cost me 130.
@@lquh Completely worth the money. The headphones are incredibly comfortable. Sound quality is fantastic and Connectivity is fast and easy. I really like them and im happy with the purchase.
Wish I would have got this news a month ago. I had the first ones but theyve fallen apart and they were sold out everywhere so I had to buy Turtle Beaches
With the first gen on xbox i can connect it and my phone but on pc it only works on pc. The earpads deteriorated and left black pieces of plastic on my face. It's 4yrs old. Can the new one connect to phone and pc at the same time?
You can buy replacement earpads for $10. I just replaced mine. I think these headsets can connect to one bluetooth device at a time, so you might need a wireless xbox receiver for your PC
My old one is peeling off. I have black residues on the side of my face everytime I use it, even if I’m not sweating. Guess I’ll get this one but gosh make the quality better Xbox.
"I think it's a total lack of respect that here in Brazil, a pair of headphones like these cost almost a minimum wage. I already have a pair with terrible noise cancellation, so when I'm talking to friends or my mom, or there's noise in the kitchen, I can always hear it. It took me forever save up to buy one when it launched in Brazil for over a thousand reais. Minimum wage here is 1420, but I found it on sale for 700. It's just like the Xbox Series S - they said all games would run at 60 FPS. Microsoft should care more about its community. Some countries find it hard to get these products, so they should review them before releasing them in the United States. It's going to be cheap to replace headphones over there, but not here in Brazil, it's way too expensive."
First one was complete shit. Had issues where the volume knob would be locked, never fixed the software, had issues inside the headphone itself too. It’s well documented. I’d be scared to try this one
No thanks mine works and sounds don't need it just needed tuned out of the box if your to challenged to do this yes it will sound muddy out of the box Would rather see some gyro and hall effect controllers instead of wasting people's time and money with this crap
How are people saying the first one was great? The fuck l? It had the worst mic audio I've ever heard my friend got one I wanted to quit playing with him the mic is garbage it picks up EVERYTHING

I know 200 headset can't even get that right now in days.
How is the microphone quality?
The "old" one works great for me, I don't think the audio is muddy.
Same, i played with the audio settings and i thought it was very crisp
@@mcsisawesome Yea turn of any bass boost and even turn down the bass a bit in the eq. Mine are also crispy
I use the wired 20th anniversary headset plugged into my controller. Works well enough for both game and chat audio for me.
It’s muddy if you don’t enable Atmos or DTS for headsets which requires you to subscribe for a cost to enable it.

I'm waiting for rtings team to review it , and see if there's any technology updates
When you added Dolby Atmos to the first one, the audio got way better.
How does the Dolby compare vs the other audio app, I think it's called dts
just bought one, my first wireless headset.
You said 199 at the end instead of 109 Dlls
He was dreaming about a nicer headset
I hope they fix the microphone plastic that always breaks!
thats what im hoping
Wondering the same... Didnt look different to me.

The first one was great, so I have high hopes for this one
I'm really enjoying my wireless Xbox headsets....
It was very bass heavy, I had to tweak it a little bit to get a good balance. I still prefer it over other headsets though.

Is Dolby Atmos app called something else now 🤔
The old one was one of the more comfortable headsets I’ve ever used I loved it
So I purchased the Dolby Atmos license for the first Headset. Does this new headset have different speakers??
How about they update the old one. Mine stopped working for game audio like two weeks after the warranty ran out. I actually really loved it.
Are you going to do a review on these new headsets?
When can I pre order the new Dolby atmos wireless Xbox headset? And where can I pre order it?
Idk about you guys but I had the previous gen and it was BRUTAL with cutting out while playing. I really like them when they work but some days have been almost unbearable
I love the design for the 1st one. So Ima cop this 1 aswell
Is the microphone removable?

But can you connect two devices at once?
Man I wish I knew this was coming I’ve only had the old one for a few months! Also I bought it for 89.99, so I think the new one is $20 more
Wish they would've announced this when they were out of stock for months. Have them under warranty and couldn't find any replacements.
If they increased the can size a little more I would have purchased them again.
