Hello Question asker_920,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I hope that all is well.

I can see that you are having concerns with the wireless headsets. Let me see how I can assist you with this concern.

However, we’d like to know more about it in details so that we can provide a more accurate resolution for you. To start, please provide us information/answer on the following questions:

• Was this working before?
  
• Are you getting any error prompts?
  
• When did the issue started?
  

So far, from the details you provided, you can try the following steps and let us know the result. You can just skip those you have done already.

If you’re having audio problems in parties, make sure the Xbox network is up and running. If it is, try these tips:

• Check that your privacy settings allow you to communicate with everyone
  
• Unmute or unblock the person you’re trying to chat with
  
• Check that you’ve joined party chat from within the party window
  
• Check to make sure that you’re not in a Discord voice channel
  
• Check for network latency or other network issues

Let us know the result and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We may recommend further troubleshooting steps once we have received your answers to the above questions.

Assuming that you don't have the mic muted on the headset and the mic is extended out from the headset (it seems like stupid questions but plenty of people don't notice mute buttons on headsets or realise that mics are extendable), do you have access to a PC or laptop that you can test it on to make sure it is not faulty?

Another way to test is: Connect the headset to your controller using the included 3.5mm to 3.55 cable.

Hello Vladimir015! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

From my own experience, the SteelSeries ARCTIS 7X is a fantastic headset and works with both consoles. I also use a different SteelSeries for streaming as well.

I returned them and got the SteelSeries Artcis 7X, no stupid buzzing or anything with mic monitoring on High. The issue is with the MS headset, whether they can fix it is another matter.
