Xbox one headset(Chat) is a poor design

smileskybird · Aug 15, 2015

I'd say the Xbox 1's headset which comes with you console is an OK design. But I mainly use Kinect for voice chat on Xbox 1. I never used the headset which came with my Xbox 1 console until a few weeks ago when one of my friends wanted me to use the headset
instead of the Kinect. Turtlebeach makes Xbox headsets better than what Microsoft does for the Xbox brand, I'd recommend them because there are many on Xbox Live who use 'em. Don't suggest another brand other wise I'll go what? Who are they?

Turtle Beach 500X. Completely wireless and they still work flawlessly. I have not used the headset that came with the system since.

I can't use the standard Xbox One headset because it's not loud enough for me to be able to hear my friends. Is there a TB headset specifically for the XB1 yet (I ask because I have not yet looked into it)? If so, what is it called? If there's more than
1, which is the best 1 overall and why?

I have turtle beach x42 they great and can work on both xbox 360 and xbox 1. I dont want to fork out hundreds of dollars on another headset when my current one works great. You get both folby game sound and chat with the x42. I understand you need a chat
adaptor for xbox 1 but 99% of the time i use the xbox 1 kinect and the rest i use the headset which came with my xbox 1 console. Games and music and video sounds still play beautiful with my turtle beach x42s because it uses optical port connection which both
xbox 360 slim and xbox 1 consoles have.

I tell you how much better the headset of the xbox one is compared to the 360 so read this:

.

The 360 had a only a lil plug in which ended with a broken cord and cracking noises.

The Xbox One headset got a big plug in that prevents this while playing games.

If used right there will be no issue you can even jump around and dance and your headset stays connected.

The issues happen when you put the headset away twist it and pull on the cord instead of the end of it.

Same with unplugging you cant pull on a cord but people do this.

Sometimes their kids do it or anyone else.

This is a user problem, use it right or left but dont use it wrong.

The plastic on the top is also way better then the 360.

There are people who dont want so much pressure on the head.

Those can keep the headset loose on their head and the design will keep it on the head.

This might be interesting to use if you have headaches and still wanna play games to relax.

You do not need to push it all the way close to your head.

I made use of that for a long time.

Even the cord is so bendable it cant distract you from gaming and the voice stays clean.

Okay thats all (;

1)After the first two headsets, I purchased a charger(Energizer) that didn't require me to remove the controls to recharge it. So it stays connected all the time.

2) I though about the stereo headsets, even the after market ones. I may be a little old fashioned, but I think that's a little "Rude". It's bad enough that I get into my games, but add in a noise cancelling stereo headset and I would never hear what anyone
is saying to me or whats going on in my house...

Have you tried the
Xbox One Stereo headset? I find it works so much better than the kind you get out of the box.
