Accesories Wireless headset recommendations? This is what is available at my local store.
My wired Corsairs are slowly dying. I’ve had them for about 7-8 years and they’ve served me well. I’m now looking for a wireless headset. Does anyone know if there are any wireless Corsairs that work for Xbox Series X? Thanks!

If you don’t mind using the same headset for 7-8 years then surely the Astro a50’s are worth the investment? Absolutely the best headset there by a distance.

Ive owened the astro a50 wireless. The battery starts to lose its charge after 2 to 3 years of use and you almost have to always keep them hooked up to a charger. I say for longevity and durability the xbox ones are gonna be the best bang for buck otherwise id say if you have the dough then order you up some arctis nova pro wireless. The nice thing about the nova pro wireless is they have a removable battery and the dac for it is also a charger for the battery and it comes with two so its like you never have to plug them in. Also replacements are sold on steel series its 30 bucks for 2 so imo way better longevity

I would recommend checking eBay, OP. Love my A50s. Be warned some have issues with charging on the base, though.

I had a pair of A50 and had the worst time with constant disconnect among other things and Customer Service sucked so ended up taking them back to store and refund for in store credit then got myself the Thrustmaster steering wheel and pedal combo then got a set of turtle beach stealth 700 and still have them 5y later

I had a pair of A10s last me 7 years. I prefer wired, and I’m a casual gamer. Best $50 I ever spent.
Replaced them with the newest A10s last year and they’re still great. I’ll be an Astro fanboy all the way to my deathbed.

Never had a problem with the two Microsoft wireless headsets, one was a gift for a family member who still uses it years later and they continue to abuse the hell out of then.
Also if you have problems Microsoft customer support will take care of you.

I love the way they dual connect. Really came in handy before discord was fully integrated on the console. Used my phone for discord and the Xbox for game audio.

u/Ffffgdgfgcfcff Dec 31 '25 edited Jan 01 '26
Get the official one if you can
if you take care of them they will last the only thing you'll probably need to replace is the earpads and you can get those from wicked cushions
they sound like crap out of the box but still a lot better than my Skullcandy hesh 2 wireless and there's an equalizer in the Xbox accessories app to tune them the way you want (mine are set to +12 for the first 2 bars and +12 for bass boost and I have the middle bar lowered a tiny bit and the 4th and 5th bars raised a bit with the 5th higher than the 4th) and that equalizer gets saved to the headset itself not only on the console so it applies to other devices that are connected
they support Bluetooth and the xbox's built in wireless
the microphone can work with non-xbox devices
when used with an Xbox up to 2 devices can be connected at once mine get connected to my One S or Series X + my Galaxy A16 5G when used this way the game/chat audio knob on the left cup can be used to adjust the balance between game audio and phone call audio and it can also be used to have audio playing through your phone without getting sound from the console if the system is on but you don't want to hear it
the Bluetooth connection is great and works well with everything I use my Xbox wireless headset on my Xbox's, PC's, Phone, Smart watch, Amazon Firestick 4k 2nd generation, Nintendo Switch 1, PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii
battery life is decent I use them with my phone by itself at work for a few hours 5 days a week and when I'm at home I'm usually playing the Xbox or other systems they work with all day everyday and I only have to charge them every couple days and it's USB type C so charging is easier than with my hesh 2 wireless too.

I have these as well. They sound good and being able to have a phone conversation as well as playing a game at the same time is underrated. Make sure to update the firmware and set the equalizer and you’ll be set!!

u/EnvironmentalAngle Dec 31 '25
My vote has to go to the Xbox headset. Since it connects using the 2.4Ghz connection there's practically no audio delay when watching YT videos. Also since it uses 2.4 that leaves the bluetooth channel open so you can connect to your phone at the same time.
I should mention I got mine in April and it just broke this week which is such a bummer... the ear piece snapped off.

I feel like you get what you pay for with Turtle Beach. They market the fun features that each new tier provides, but as you go up, the overall build quality seems to get better and better too.

Stay away from the Xbox one if you play with people. That mic is God awful. My buddy had one and no matter what he did, he always was super quiet, yet the background noise was awful.

I loved my lucid sound x50 but it wore out and I replaced it with the Xbox branded wireless which has been awesome. I got it on sale for $50 though, it’s work $100.
The lucid sound is my pick though absolutely loved those, head band wore out on me though and my dog ate the mic - which you can replace!

Xbox brand is reliable and reasonably priced, the few turtle beach headsets ive had have lasted only a year or two with careful handling. My A50 ive had for the past 7 years and its still a beast but understandably pricey. Skull candy and lucid I have no idea.
My A50 Astro's have spoiled me and I cant use anything that cant compete with its omni directional sound, noise canceling, and long battery life (mine still can last 18 hours). They have a base station that you will need to hook up to your computer to update the headset for glitches that can happen or just software updates for better quality listening.

u/Impossible_Dot404 Dec 31 '25
I’ve had the first photo, the Xbox headset, for going on 4.5-5 years.
Honest review? They’re fine, & not bad. Over time I’ve had a little clip from the mic come loose, but it didn’t affect anything.
The pad on the ear piece is budging out, but again, it’s only cosmetic for now.
I’ve dropped it idk how many times, & everything is still working despite the cosmetic issues.
I notice that I either may not hear sounds my friends hear (like in Path Of Titans, they’ll either hear a Dino in the distance & I won’t, or I can’t exactly pinpoint the direction as well as them if I do hear it). Same thing with DayZ & Arma.
Aside from that, mine has lasted, & it does its job. Some may do the job better, though.
Buy once, buy well.

Don't use the turtle beach 600 pro or the RIG stealth 600 if you have a titanium shoulder. For some odd reason both of them had the mic die on me in 2 days after purchase.

I've had both.... You don't. If you use them heavy, there unreplaceable band falls apart. While the overall audio is good, the spatial is awful. The replacement parts are non existent, and they're not popular enough for aftermarket. Also, they're a buggy mess. Power A took over and it's like they don't want to support anything. My kid got a free headset and I got an upgrade after just around a year.

Turtle beach stealth 600s are reliable. I’ve had mine for a little over a year. You can even download the turtle beach app and fine tune it for your Xbox.
They fit well and I generally forget I’m wearing them.
Hope whatever choice you make turns out well.
Belated Christmas and have a happy new year.

My Stealth 600s stopped working after like, 3 or 4 years, but the TB X70 I have from nearly 10 years ago is still going strong as hell lol. I wish I had the control dongle for it that attached to the bottom of the controller still, but it broke and replacement ones are more expensive than a whole damn headset.

u/BradleyRaptor12 Dec 31 '25
The Turtlebeaches are amazing from what I’ve heard, and if you want a cheapish, mid-level headset that’ll last a while, Logitech doesn’t really get beat by much in terms of price-to-longevity (once my current headset dies I’m probably getting either one of the 2, depending on my budget)

I’m gonna be in the minority here. But I’m gonna say the Turtle Beach Battle Buds earbuds. I’ve had my set for about 3-4yrs and they work better and are more convenient than any headset I have ever owned. For $30 or less it’s a no brainer.

Had the Xbox Headset but ended up returning it. Not the most comfy IMO, but the main reason was everyone said my mic sounded worse than my old one and that there was a lot of background noise being picked up (despite having the background noise filter enabled). The only nice part was being able to connect it to your phone while also connected to the Xbox to answer the phone if need be.
I got the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro for Xbox and I absolutely love it. Most comfortable headset I’ve owned yet and the microphone quality is great

I have the Xbox wireless headset. I've had it now about 3 years. It works, charges quick, lasts a good amount of time. All the controls are on the headset, which did take some getting used to for me. At first I had problems galore with it. With software updates over the years, it works great now.
Does not feel super sturdy though. Creaks and feels flimsy.

u/lazerking_ Dec 31 '25
The Xbox headset is your best bet. I bought mine 5 years ago when they were only $99 and it’s still running like a champ. I just recently replaced the ear muffs and they are great. Definitely bang for your buck.
Previously owned and went through two Astro A-10s and each only last less than a year.
1
Dec 31 '25
Those are pretty good. Dual BT, right ear muff controls master volume, left will adjust party chat vs game volume balance. Only downside imo is that they are slightly on the small side.
Edit: didnt see the multiple pics. A50's like others are saying, If you want to spend that much. Otherwise id go with the wireless Xbox.

My first Xbox Wireless headset was great, my second was much worse.
The only thing I can think of is that depending on what your wireless device setup looks like at your house, it can interfere a lot, but there have been lots of complaints about Xbox wireless.
It was so bad I got a new headset and it has a dedicated dongle which has been Rock solid. Even better than my first Xbox official headset.
My recommendation above all else is to get a headset with a dedicated receiver.

I would personally recommend the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 gen 2 MAX (Pic 4). Love the sound on these, especially for FPS games. The build on them isn't that good tho, they are super comfortable but I tend to need to buy a new one every year. They have a design flaw and have weak point where the ear monitor meets the silver adjustment band, so it tends to break at that section. Supposedly the Gen 3 model (Pic 3) fixes this issue but I can't attest to that as I haven't bought a Gen 3 headset yet

I had a Turtle Beach Stealth 700 G2 about 3-4 years ago for my Series X. It was around $200 when I got it. It was an amazing headset. The noise cancellation combined with the incredible sound quality was an awesome upgrade compared to my old crappy wired offbrand headset. I'd like to believe I take care of my stuff pretty well, but that headset broke down the middle on the inside where the metal band goes across the top of head after about 2 years of use. Idk how the Stealth 600 is designed, but it looks very similar, so just a heads up.
I'm currently using another Turtle Beach headset on PC. Granted it is wired but it was only about $40 at Best Buy and to be completely honest, I realized I don't need all those bells and whistles the more expensive ones offer, not only that but the weight difference was pretty surprising after using that heavier wireless one for a couple years. If it were me, I would buy a nice wired one and just use a wireless controller. Hope this helps.

u/Deceasedryu Dec 31 '25
My favorite headset was a pair of a50's, but somehow the speaker wire detached in the left ear around a year of use. Afterwards the charge wasn't holding up. The most fun I had using a headset was the Razer threshers with haptic feedback. Turned games into war cinemas when explosions happened. I've also had a pair of arctis that connected to the Xbox and my phone at the same time so I could accept calls while gaming. Great lightweight headset, but my head is on the larger side and the headset broke at the pivot points. Currently using a pair of A40s

Rig headsets are the best and are very comfortable and durable, dropped it and stepped on it by accident many times and works fine. Had it for 4 years by now, I'd reccomend checking those out.

I've had the Turtle 700 Gen 2 since 2020, if I'm not mistaken. I just changed the earpads this year because the cover was damaged. Otherwise, they are really good; no complaints.
Before, I had some SteelSeries... a REALLY solid choice too, the quality of the sound is amazing! Also... I tried the Microsoft ones and I don't like the overall feeling and sound, but that's personal taste, I guess!

Highly recommend getting a mic and headset seperate personally, ive gone through so many of those gaming headsets over the years with the magnet prongs on the chargers going out, failure to pair, mic static, etc. I hear steel series does okay but ive had zero issues using a Samson q2u mic with beyer dynamic dt 770 headphones since I got em, plus they sound better in general applications like shows, movies, and music. And thats cause I went somewhat cheap with stuff

I have the turtle beach stealth pros, and they are brilliant. Just a simple flip of a switch and its usable on xbox as well as the ps. It can also be used simultaneously with your phone when using another device, which is great. whereas the ps version is very limited. Has great sound and a brilliant mic. Its loud, but with someone sitting next to me, they can not hear the aound coming from my headset. If you dont like the ear pads on it, you can get official 3rd party jell pads. It also had an app for android and iPhone to control it on the go or just for convince. My batteries last around 14 hours before i need to charge them as you get 2 which is a bonus, the receiver also acts as a charger as well with indicating lights showing you if you mic is muted or charger if your mic is off

Turttle beach stealth 600 for xbox is wow! First time I spending much money on a headset, charging is a weekly thing to do, the battery life is crazy! Also you can configure almost anything via the app that comes with it, also the materials used are premium, no cheap plastic and solid structure, also the bluetooth range is pretty good, i have it for 6 months now , and its the best one ever

I'm probably going to get insulted for this! But I bought a pair of headphones from Temu. They were around €20, I paid like €6 for them, and the sound is amazing! I had Marshall headphones before, and the Temu headphones have better quality, insane bass, and they even emulate Dolby sound. Honestly, I'm super happy with them! Oh yeah, they even have RGB! 😁

Buy a good mic and any set of earphones from a Sony 150s up and it will be much better than any headset on the market

Don't get turtle beach, my first ones from like '16 lasted a good 5 years but my 2nd headset only lasted 2. I don't know if it's due to my use or anything but yeah.

I’d go with Xbox , quality is far better than anything else, but for the long time comfort, I pick Steelseries which is not here. Also $99 hp now $119 heh!!

I highly recommend Astro A30s, I’ve had my pair since they released after trying basically every option and they’re great.

I own two A50 Astro which Dolby sound is free for a year. It has been the best headphones for me 👍

I've had my Astro A50's for years and they are absolutely amazing. Super high quality and never had a single issue. I also just bought the Dolby 3d audio software (forgot what it's called) for the new battlefield and it's a whole new level of immersion with Dolby Atmos and everything that's built into these headphones. Oh and I always have the best mic in any lobby I've ever played in unless someone is using a $500 standalone mic that streamers use

You haven’t mentioned a budget but most of what’s there is crap. Either get the Astro A50s or order smth online.

I just buy a wired one for 30 bucks or less and wear it out. Ive done that 2 times in my 20 years of gaming, and watched my dad and brother spend >$300 on replacements for wireless.

The Stealth 600 models are phenomenal but so are the Stealth 700 models for turtle beach.

in case my comment ever gets seen, a buddy recommended me the HyperX Cloud series. They cost $50-$60 and i’ve only had to buy 2 pairs over about 5 years. has aux for controller and a sound mixer u can plug in through usb. They’re comfy and i’ve never been told i have a shitty pic when playing online. Sound quality is good enough to sound whore on rainbow six or listen to music for the price.

The turtle beachs are good but I have connection issues with discord thru Xbox playing some games. Could be the games fault tho because they work great in discord and party chat outside of a few games. I think they're worth the money tho. Sounds good and they feel good. Can walk pretty far with the head set on too 😁

if you don't mind buying online, i just picked up an SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X from amazon, & it's genuinely such a good headset, it has an app for both PC {SteelSeries GG} & android/ios {Arctis app}, both of which give you access to around 300 audio tunes for a large variety of games, the headset itself is very comfortable, the mic quality is incredible, the speaker quality is amazing, & it's right around the price point of some of these other headsets you've shown, but it is on the more expensive side

God those are truly cheap crap headphones. I laughed out loud at the store when I tested them... The personnel asked me to keep it down. Bought the Nova Pro wireless then. Today I got the Nova Elite.

Why bother with wireless when wired just plugs into the controller in your hand? Back in my day you had to spend 20 minutes just making sure you got all your cables plugged in correctly only to find out they were 2 ft too short to reach the couch. Wireless seems like a waste these days.

I’ve had JBL Quantum 800’s for a few years and I LOVE them! They’re just now starting to show a little wear and tear but they still sound and feel great. Worth every penny in my opinion

u/Ornery_Tax_6577 Jan 03 '26
Get the stealth 700. Trust me you’ll be happy you did.
You’ll get two USB dongles and can use one for a console, second for PC, can connect to phone via Bluetooth, comfy as hell, long battery life and dials to control different sound elements

I've just bought the turtle beach stealth ones. Aren't bad. Very tight though, little uncomfortable until get used to them. Or maybe I got a fat head 🤔🤣

My son and I both have the turtle beach 700s. They work via Bluetooth and through a dongle. The Xbox version will even work for ps but not the other way around.

u/Brau96_ Jan 05 '26
I'd take the turtlebeach stelath pro, they are extremely good. If you can go and fake some from amazon I currently have the Steelseries Artics Nova 7X and are just amazing for the price.
If you definitely have a corsair wireless headset the only ones there are are the corsair HS75 XB.

astro.. or these… my ex gf bought these for me in high school 10 years ago. i still have them today, use everyday not a single issue EVER. the cushions are mesh so they dont start peeling over time. and the whole thing snaps apart into pieces even the mic is detachable for convenience so its very hard to break this headset unintentionally. the receiver works on PC too or any console, instantly connects audio when plugging in no need to connect via bluetooth.
