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

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.
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
