American tech company Microsoft has unveiled a refreshed Xbox stereo headset, a USD 59.99 wired model that’s more affordable than its stellar USD 100 wireless headset that launched earlier in 2021.

According to ANI, it’s launching on September 21, and as is to be expected, it’s missing a few features, though much of its design is intact.

Users can twist the dial on the outside of the right ear cup to adjust the volume, and there’s a mute button on the backside of the flexible microphone, mirroring what you get with the wireless version.

The stereo headset doesn’t appear to have the chat/game audio mixing dial on the left ear cup as the pricier model does, but that’s not a horrible loss given the price difference.

This headset connects through your Xbox controller via its bold green 3.5mm cable and plug, which means that users can use it with other devices (and controllers) that support that plug.

As per ANI, Microsoft has said that the stereo headset supports spatial sound technologies like Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic, and DTS:X and that they feature “clean mid and high-frequency performance with a strong bass.”

If the sound quality is anything like it is one the wireless version, many gamers should be hap[py with this USD 59.99 model.
