Frequently asked questions
Does this headset connect to Xbox Series X|S?
The listing says it connects to Xbox Series X|S controllers with a 3.5 mm port. It also lists Bluetooth separately, despite describing the headset as wired, so check the selected listing’s connection details.
Can the microphone be muted without using a menu?
The listed feature is a swivel or flip-up-to-mute microphone. The manufacturer also describes volume controls on the headset.
Is it wireless?
The product is described as wired and has a 3.5 mm jack, but a separate specification says Bluetooth. Wireless operation is therefore unconfirmed by the supplied listing details.
