Microsoft announces Xbox Stereo Headset, preorders available now

Microsoft announced the Xbox Stereo Headset on Thursday. We don’t have the full list of specifications right now but this headset has a lot in common with the official Xbox Wireless Headset, including the overall design, deep bass and support for Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic. As with other entry-level wired headsets, it’ll connect to your Xbox controller via a 3.5mm headset jack.

Naturally, due to being a wired headset, it can easily be used on PC as well. Preorders are open at Microsoft and should begin showing up at other retailers shortly. The Xbox Stereo Headset is available for $60 and, per the Microsoft Store, it is scheduled to arrive on September 21, 2021.

Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced the Xbox Wireless Headset. In our review, we found it to be a solid $100 option, though it didn’t quite make the list of the best Xbox wireless headsets available for players right now.

For anyone interested in the complete opposite of an entry-level model, there’s the official $500 Bang & Olufson Xbox headset, which is designed with premium materials to deliver the best (and most expensive) headset possible.
