Latency-free headset solution for Xbox and PC

Jaro Meheš Jr. · Dec 13, 2021

Hello,

I'm considering buying the Xbox Wireless Headset for Xbox and PC. Might I ask, is it possible to easily switch between PC and Xbox BOTH via the Xbox connection protocol, aka non-bluetooth? I already have Sony XM4s and the Bluetooth delay is not suitable for gaming. I get about 100ms latency with my Asus BT400 adapter. In other words, must I buy two pairs of headphones for latency-free experience on both devices?

Thanks

:)

You can have only one Xbox and one Bluetooth device paired to a device at the same time. If you use the Xbox wireless adapter you can quickly re-pair them however. I keep mine in the usb hub in front of my monitor.

Yes it is possible. The Xbox Wireless Headset is the perfect solution for this. You can use it on both Xbox and PC with little to no Latency.

Hope this helps

Thank you for reply, that'd work for me.

Thanks Jesse E' as well.

No, because MS refuses to acknowledge it. To them, this headset works 100% fine (even though EVERYONE on PC has this issue).

The only solution I can offer - is download VoiceMeeter, set is as your output audio device, and within the program choose headset. There will be slight latency, but compared to the BS we have to deal with - it's marginally better, and this is last time I'm buying any hardware for PC from Microsoft. They clearly don't care one bit.

If your a DIYer this might be a solution. If not buy a compatible branded headset.
