Suggestions: Wireless Headset Options for Use on XSX, PS5 and Switch - Can Be Wired for PS5

Lsamwisethebrave05 on 09/10/2021 - 14:15

Hi all,

I realise this has been somewhat covered in the past, but tech changes and evolves often, so I wanted to probe your collective minds on what some more recent options may be for the below scenario. I also realise I am chasing a unicorn, but hey! Let's maybe be surprised by something out there :)

The want:
- Wireless headset that works with both the Xbox Series X, and the PS5.
- Bluetooth to PC/other devices a nice bonus for compatibility with the Switch.
- Can be wired for the PS5 if need be (with mic).

Options considered:
- SteelSeries Arctis 9x - near perfect, except the wired connection doesn't carry the mic signal.
- SteelSeries Arctis 7x - with the dongle, these would be ideal, but you really can't buy them at the moment.

Are there any other options out there that will achieve what I am looking for? Mostly want this for Xbox wireless, but want the option of PS5 for the odd game I play socially on it.

I am currently using an Arctis 3 (2019) and that obviously works across both as it's wired. Comfortable, and I like the placement of mute buttons etc.

Yes, I can get 2 headsets, and that's where my head is at currently, but it's not ideal.

    I've got the SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth and they work great. I use them across my Switch and PS5 with the Genki Route+ bluetooth audio adapter.
    The headset isn't made anymore but can still be found some places online. They're great because they can handle 2 audio channels at once (e.g. wireless Switch bluetooth audio + cable in to phone to use Discord).

    I believe the official Xbox Wireless Headset will do what you're asking for, at a price point of ~$150. Granted, I've not used it before but friends say it's worked for them on Xbox, PS5, PC and Switch. Definitely something for you to look into!

    I got the wireless Arctic 1s. Great with ps5/4 and switch, and wired on the Xbox series x.
    They are pretty affordable, have great sound quality and battery life, and have been going strong for over a year now.

      How are the Arctis 1s going? Confirming the headset is wireless for the PS5 and Switch and then can be utilised with a cable to work with the Xbox X?

      Does anyone know of any soon to be released wireless headsets that may work across all PS5/Xbox/PC? I'd also been looking at the Arctis 7x as they seemed to meet that criteria but haven't seen them available.

        Yeah, still going great. I think it’s been nearly two years now.
        Correct, wireless to ps and switch but cable needed for Xbox. For the price I am really happy with them.
