Those with an Xbox Series S or X looking to upgrade their gaming headset should check out Audeze’s headphones. The company’s new wireless gaming headset packs 90-mm planar magnetic drivers, a built-in mic, and both wireless and USB connectivity. You’ll also get up to 80 hours of battery life per charge. We haven’t tested these yet, but we’re fans of Audeze’s more affordable pairs, so these should be worth looking into.

You’ll also get five video games with your purchase if you order by February 15.
