The SteelSeries Arctis 9X is one of the best wireless gaming headsets you can get for the Xbox One.

The Arctis 9X is one of the best Xbox headsets you can buy, but it's not great for PC
Solid gaming and music audio ; Premium aluminum design ; Xbox gaming is a dream ; Retractable, noise cancelling microphone
Ear cups are too shallow ; PC gaming is a pain ; Soft bass

Very comfortable and aesthetics of the device are excellent.
Simply do not work. Saw reviews claiming connectivity issues and assumed ‘faulty sets mine won’t be like that’ - turns out it’s a design fault and makes them completely unusable. Disconnects from Xbox continuously mid game and is very difficult to turn...
Consumer review (currys.co.uk)
Amazing comfort, incredible sound, dual channel Bluetooth is a very nice touch, well built.
Cannot unpair headset from your console so that you can use them just for your phone, when doing those chores around the house and you want to listen to a podcast or tunes.
