I have messed around with the steel series engine and that has done nothing, i have looked on my xbox audio settings and that seems all standard.Īm i missing something or do they just have poor mic quality, i was thinking maybe i have a faulty pair but it's happening on all 3 of them i bought. One thing me and players 4 & 5 tested was to plug the headphones directly to the gamepad and the mic seemed to improved quite a bit, but that defeats buying a wireless headphone. However, they still have many features well-suited for gaming. These over-ears lack high-end bells and whistles like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro 's GameDAC. The sound when playing games is good but the microphone sounds really poor, sounds like we have our heads in a tin can and muffled. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless is the best wireless headset for Xbox Series X/S at the mid-range level we've tested. Player 5: Using Arctis 7x (Poor quality coming from his mic, sounds like a cheap pair of headphones)įirst thing player 1 said too me was 'What headphones you using, your voice sounds terrible' Player 4: Using Arctis 7x (Poor quality coming from his mic, sounds like a cheap pair of headphones)

Player 3: Using Arctis 7x (Poor quality coming from his mic, sounds like a cheap pair of headphones) Player 2: Using Turtle Beach Stealth 700 GEN 2 (Crystal clear quality coming from his mic, best by far)

Player 1: Using Arctis 9x (Good quality coming from his mic)
