Worn these for almost 5 years,(2021 version) and they work great but sound okay and the battery lasted forever but I had some issues with connectivity and sometimes my headphones would just not connect and I had to change the drivers multiple times.

What a reader who owns the Xbox Wireless Headset reports after living with it. Owner-reported, checked before publishing; ordered photo-verified first, then newest.
Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
