Okay now we are on this topic, I have a burning question to ask -

Would you rather buy a wireless gaming headphones that is XBOX optimized, or just use your standard headphones with Dolby Atmos for Headphones?

I’m on the fence to fully experience this, although the standard headphones requires a 3.5mm connection, which means if I watch a movie / show on Netflix, my controller has to be ‘on me’. But are these ‘gaming headphones’ really worth it?
*
imo if you want the full experience, you gotta get the compatible headphones

my first wiresless xbox headphone was razer chimera 5.1 for x360, it's very good imo compared to normal wired one, except the crappy battery life
next was Sony Gold wireless for PS4, it's good compared to normal one,
then I upgraded to Steelseries Arctis Pro, it's compatible for both XB1 and PS4, albeit no chat function on XB1, it's best purchase of my life, good batt life, comfy, doesn't gave me sweaty ears or head pressure from prolong use, and damn good audio too
too bad next gen both console doesn't come with a optical out anymore, meaning I can't use it there
So gotta look for a new wireless headset for next gen consoles, so far the reviews on Arctis 7x isn't bad, might grab that one once I got my next gen consoles
seems that one is compatible with both camp also, which is another plus point.

Not sure you need a special one headset or not but maybe can just try a standard one test first?
Make sure to download up to date Dolby Access in your xbox console before testing.
Same.. previously me also everything Sony end up now mostly Samsung.
Next probably will try go LG TV  thumbsup.gif

I don't have a strong opinion either way, because most headphones just offer stereo sound. Wired or wireless. I forgot which exact headphone claims to offer Dolby Atmos support on Xbox or PC. Turns out the implementation still uses Dolby Access app. So in the end it's still software.

The wireless headphones of course offer less hassle compared to wired. And if you have the Dolby Atmos for headphones app, it can still use Dolby Atmos for spatial sound. If you don't like being tethered to a wire while playing games or watching movies, wireless would be better.

I was looking at the Arctis 7x and 9x, but unfortunately I can’t seem to get any here - seems like a global shortage. I went ahead and ordered the Corsair HS75 XB - it has a larger driver unit at 50mm cool2.gif

Oh speaking of the Arctis Pro, the optical port exclusion from the Series X is such a deal breaker man.

Yup agreed, but I remember reading somewhere that despite the Dolby Atmos for Headphone, if you connect via 3.5mm it will be ‘virtual Atmos’ unlike some that actually gives out ‘lossless’ - I’m not too sure about this as well but so far with 3.5mm on Atmos for Headphones, seems like a game changer for me. But that wireless bit is just nagging out, don’t like being tethered to the controller via wires man.

There’s another brand called Audeze, the model is called Penrose X where it is XBOX certified with ‘audiophile’ experience, but I think the price is abit steep at 1.5-1.6k and that design is just hideous doh.gif

Curious where you got your unit from, I gotta wait till end of December for mine. Congrats and enjoy your XSX bro!
I grew up with a mindset that Japanese engineering is far superior than anything else on the market. Sony as a brand was cemented as some godlike engineering monolith in my mind.

Let's see how my PS5 holds up later. Perhaps I gotta change my mindset and get with the times.

My series S is registered as Xbox One in my Microsoft account. Should I ignore it or is this normal?

Yup, no point defending them. They won’t repent.

Not normal, it should reflect your actual device.

The serial number etc all correct?

but 1440p and 120fps, is not ur TV native reso, everything will be blurry eh. Ur tv will do the upscaling to 4k? If upscale to 4k via TV, can still have 120fps? cos 1440p without upscaling, i can confirm it looks super bad on a 65inch TV lol.

Most of us here would be buying digital games during sale, some may buy it new but with gamepass buying games would be at the minimal.

Not many shops bring in physical xbox games.
