In terms of sound, you might be surprised at just how hard the Xbox Wireless Headset kicks. You also get a big mute button, retractable mic and then power and Bluetooth buttons sitting alongside each other, with the power button protruding to set them apart. There’s a wheel on either side – one for adjusting volume and the other for prioritising game or chat audio. In terms of controls, they are all well distanced and easy to differentiate just by touch – making it simple to change up your settings in-game. However, you only need to sort this once and, then, it’s a dream. The Velcro and elastic design isn’t the easiest to wrestle with. The only frustration we ran into with this device was getting the headband fit right on the initial setup. Your first experience with this wireless gaming headset may not be the most pleasant.
