The official Xbox One Chat Headset is basic and focused exclusively on chat. Unlike the PS5 headset there is nothing groundbreaking about it in any way, but you can be sure that it will work with any of the Xbox consoles. It is also very light and portable to carry around if you travel. The construction and materials used in this headset reflect its cheap price though. Since this headset plugs directly into the Xbox controller there are no batteries required to operate it. The mic has a mute button and a volume control button to help gamers control the action.

This headset is a good option for gamers that want to push the sound through their stereo system and only use the headset for chat. Since it is low profile and only covers one ear, gamers can use this chat headset alongside booming stereo speakers when gaming. The headset does deliver the chat in clear, digital-audio.

The Bottom Line

The official Xbox One Chat headset is light both in features and weight. For students who are tight on budget, this is an option since it will work with Xbox without hiccups while providing passable audio quality.
