Old Xbox headset won’t connect to my Xbox One, HELP!

I have no idea what I’m doing wrong? When I press the two pairing buttons it just doesn’t pair like at all. I used these headphones about 7 years ago and they connected fine. I can still turn the headphones on and hear myself talk through the mic, but I just can’t connect it to my Xbox.

PLEASE HELP!!

Can’t decide between 2 headsets

Hey everyone! I'm looking to buy a new headset and I'm stuck between two options: the Razer Blackshark V3 Pro and the HyperX Cloud Alpha 2.

Maybe these aren’t the best? But, I've read a lot of reviews, watched many youtube videos and these two seem to come up consistently while also fitting my budget. That said, I'm open to other recommendations in the $150–$250 price range. and I play on PS5, long gaming sessions so comfort is a priority, also I switch between FPS and offline story games.

If you've used either of these headsets or have another recommendation I'd love to hear your thoughts. I always get stuck making decisions like this, so any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to buy my first wireless headphones and have narrowed it down to the JBL Live 780NC, Sony ULT Wear, and Sennheiser Accentum Plus.

My main use will be music, movies, YouTube, and some PC gaming. I'm looking for something that's comfortable for long sessions with good sound quality, effective ANC, decent battery life, and solid overall build quality.

which is best for me?? Getting all around 120$

Recommend headset with noise cancellation & affordable.

Hello! I am an aspiring ESL teacher and I badly need a good + affordable headset with noise cancellation. I’ve checked several post here but unfortunately some were too expensive or have bad reviews. The choices/suggestions were limited too. I was hoping anyone could recommend me some? I have a laptop, core i3, ASUS. Please let me know of you have any suggestions ❤️

Wired headsets for laptops?

I need to order headsets for call center employees in our cubicles at a non-profit. We have nicer wireless ones, but I need back-up wired ones in case they have problems. What is a decent option that works with a laptop (USB A)? Looking at the Logitech H570e

Gengar headset microphonics are CRAZY!

I recently changed my Blackshark v2 to a Gengar Razer headset and i found a problem i never encountered before with Razer. Instead of the usual jack connection and the soft, fabricy cable, it had a plastic usb one. I thought at the start that cool, easier to connect. HOWEVER: I can hear every single touch the cable goes through. Does it rub on the floor, my shirt, the chair, the desk? Every single one is heard through the headset and my friends on discord can hear it as well. I am in audio hell!! From a few searches i learned that this is called microphonics, but its killing the experience.

Is there any way i can fix it? Or maybe make it cancel out ?

Most importantly, is this normal? Do other people have similar issues in their microphones?

Edit: To clarify, the usb cable with the issue is on the gengar headset. The blackshark had no issue, it just stopped working one day due to cable being old i guess!

Help finding out if the Sennheiser 560s can run on xbox controller at decent volume.

I know the 560s has 120ohm impedance, but the headphone checks everything in the box for me. Im just worried about the volume levels. Has anyone tried these on xbox; or if you can? It would be a life saver!

Looking for a headset for switch 2 that would allow me to simultaneously hear audio from switch and my phone?

Something like Xbox’s official headset or PlayStations. I’m not even sure this exists.

Blackshark v2 pro vs v3 pro

Hello, I'm looking for opinions between the balckshark v2 pro vs the v3 pro, I currently have the logitech g pro x wireless lightspeed v1, it already has battery problems, the mute button of the headset (it doesn't mute when I press it), and the volume up and down wheel. And to be honest, I want to go to the Razer ecosystem since I currently have a Razer keyboard and mouse. I currently play adventure games, arma 3 and sim racing.

Best budget headset

I’m sure this has been posted on here hundreds of times. But I have a dilemma. Birthday is coming up and I need a new headset and controller. Mom ordered a desk already so I’m fs getting both. She said like max 60-70 dollars and I wanted to know which headset I should get, or I can get the controller and wait for Christmas and spend more on the headset. I’m also open to getting just headphones and getting a standalone mic. Also I’m playing on Xbox, idk if that makes a difference. Also, neither the headset or controller are fully broken but I do have tape around my headset and my controller is like 6 years old. All help is appreciated

Help picking a headset and mouse

Hi! My boyfriend's birthday is coming up, and he only asked for 2 things:

- A new headset

- A new gaming mouse

He wants a wired headset; he despises wireless, and he wants a wireless mouse. I know he wants one of those "breathable" mice with the honeycomb design.

My question is: are there any wired headsets and wireless mice you recommend? I'm on a bit of a budget, so I don't want to spend $200 total, if possible, but I would love for him to be happy! Thanks :)

Best PS5/PC gaming headset?

I need a new headset for my PS5 and PC gaming. Audio fidelity/quality are the main priority, mic quality, comfort level for long durations, and an easy charging solution.

I realise now, there isn’t a perfect headset, so I ended up ordering the Astro A50 Gen 5s for £190/$250 US. I am torn between it and the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro. Both pretty much same price. I also see that anything above this price point simply isn’t worth the extra money.

The A50s arrive in a couple days, but have the option to return after usage. The deciding factor for me was the audio performance in FPS games, comfort level, and mic quality. I don’t really care about noise cancellation as the house is always quiet. Oh yeah, and the ability to tune the EQ on my PC and phone app, very handy.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the A50 Gen 5/X and the Nova Pro Wireless, or any other headset from this price segment, and can tell me which they prefer and why. My budget stretches up to £250/$300 US max. So, should I stick with the A50s and keep them, or do you suggest anything else?

Now I know I can go to YouTube, but user experience over long periods of time is more valuable to me, and YouTube reviews aren’t really helping for some reason.

Thanks for reading the post people, any help is appreciated. Good day👍

Edition XS for 160 or Arya Stealth for 420, and is Nova Elite even worth considering?

Guys I need help. This might be the dumbest audiophile dilemma you’ve seen here but I’m losing my mind.
I’ve already owned Maxwell 2, Kithara and I’m running everything on a FOSI K7. I am completely burned out from chasing the “perfect” headphones for both gaming and music.
Right now I have two deals:
SteelSeries Nova Elite for 420 dollars from outlet
Used Arya Stealth for the same 420 dollars
Arya is currently my number one target, but my brain keeps going “what if Elite is actually good?” even though I feel like it’s just another overpriced gaming headset.
And to make things worse, I also found Edition XS for 160 dollars.
So now I have three options and zero sanity left:
Nova Elite 420
Arya Stealth 420
Edition XS 160
How big is the gap between Edition XS and Arya Stealth really? Is Arya worth more than 2x the price?
And please be brutally honest about Nova Elite. People call it “super detailed” and “amazing” but their reference is usually other gaming headsets.
Roast it if you have to. I need someone to kill my FOMO before I make a stupid decision.

Aaaaah I think I’ll go with the Arya Organic it sounds top-tier and it’s easy to drive.
