The updated microphone provides automatic mute and voice isolation to minimize background noise. Thanks to support for the Bluetooth 5.3 wireless standard, the owner can directly connect the headset to Xbox consoles, mobile devices and PCs.
While the original Xbox Wireless Headset had up to 15 hours of battery life, the updated model claims up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge. The updated model retains the rotating ear pads, which allows you to adjust the volume and balance between game sounds and game chat.
The color design has changed from the previous green accent to an all-black finish.
The updated version of the headset is already on sale; the manufacturer has set a price for it at $110, while the original model was sold for $99.
