Microsoft reveals its first official Xbox Wireless Headset

After three console generations of leaving the job of creating premium gaming headset solutions to licensed, third-party manufacturers, Microsoft has announced that it is finally throwing its hat into the ring with its own official headset offering, the aptly-named Xbox Wireless Headset.

Taking several notes from its direct competitor Sony as well as its most successful audio accessory-producing partners, The Xbox Wireless Headset incorporates support for “industry-leading” spatial sound techonolgies such as Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X (take that, Sony Tempest3D audio) to provide “realism and audio precision that fully surrounds you” and “low latency, lossless audio for exceptional sound quality”.
