Looking for a good gaming headset for Xbox Series X?

I currently have one. Sennheiser GSP 600 which is absolutely not suitable for multiplayer because I sometimes don't hear a certain sound like footsteps by opponents and you can always hear me breathing into the microphone despite low mic monitoring and foam cover.

I'm looking for a headset that is also suitable for the Xbox Series X and, above all, has surround audio. It is important that I can fine-tune it and that there's software for it. Heard most Asus headsets have something like that. I'll be using it mostly for multiplayer. In terms of price, it would be fine for me up to 250 euro but shouldn't cost more. Does anyone have recommendations for me or can I help?

I myself use a Turtle Beach Stealth 700 and am satisfied.

If you can wait a little longer, Microsoft has already introduced its own Xbox Wireless Headset.

I would advise against the Astro A 50. Overpriced with questionable quality, as well as the Steelseries Arctis 9X which not only sounds weak but also produced a serious software error twice. The Arctis 7X or the A 40 with Mixamp may be the better choice here.

I totally agree.

I used the Arctis 9X myself and was extremely disappointed with it for the price. 200 euro and not even a blade cable, even USB type C or a noice canceling microphone.

As I said, two broke within six months.

Apart from the poor sound, it was at least light, comfortable to wear and had a long running time.

I'm absolutely satisfied with the Stealth 700 and at a lower price.

I think my next headset will definitely be the Xbox Wireless Headset. In terms of price-performance ratio, this is significantly better than the Steelseries 9X and the Astro A50

In any case, I would first wait for the first tests and experience reports.

Definitely.

I think it's okay that no jack plug is included here either. Because the included charging cable is based on USB C and that's the future.
