Back in February, Microsoft announced the Xbox Wireless Headset, a $99 pair of headphones for your new Xbox console. If you prefer wired headphones, Microsoft has got you covered with the new wired model called the Xbox Stereo Headset that is also significantly cheaper.
The Xbox Stereo Headset has a similar design to the Xbox Wireless Headset. It comes in black with soft leather-cushioned earcups and on-ear controls. The addition is a neon-green wire that has a 35mm connector at its end.
The product page says it has support for spatial sound including Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone:X. The microphone is adjustable and can be tucked away when not needed. You can still adjust the volume by turning the dial on the right earcup but The Verge reports that the chat/game audio mixing dial on the left earcup is no longer available.
The Xbox Stereo Headset is priced at $59.99 which is way cheaper than the $99 price tag of the wireless version. It is already available for pre-order ahead of its September 21 release date.
