Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset 

Comes with dual beamforming microphones and a voice isolation feature

As the Xbox Wireless Headset is created for gaming, users can simultaneously connect it to their phones so they would hear them ringing even when they are currently playing. It also allows them to accepts calls during the game.

This audio device features a microphone that can be tucked away when not in use. There are two beam-forming mics and voice isolation tuning to separate the voice from ambient noises in your background.

Aside from that, the user can rotate the earcups to adjust the volume of game audio and team chat separately.

According to Microsoft, its battery should last 15 hours on a single charge. If you’re in a rush, you can still use it for 4 hours from 30 minutes of charging. There's an option to adjust the equalizer and bass boost, configure the auto-mute feature, change the LED brightness with the Xbox Accessories app.

Three high-quality spatial audio standards are supported: Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone:X. Users will need a Bluetooth 4.2 (or higher) dongle to connect with their PC. Meanwhile, the Xbox consoles have the functionality built-in.
