My current headset, the RIG 800LX requires a dongle and USB-micro to charge, but everything else about it is fine.Īs with most Microsoft peripherals today, the box is well designed and easy to open. The primary reason I bought this headset is because of the USB-C charging and that it doesn’t need a dongle. But it is not a great headset with great audio – and there is a difference. It’s really important to keep in mind that this is a $99 headset, and not $199 or even $299, because the short version of this post is that for the price, this is a great headset with lots of features and good audio.

After about a month of waiting since the announcement date, the new Xbox wireless headset is in my dirty little paws, and here are the first impressions.
