We're big fans of the 24-hour battery and that wireless signal is consistently reliable with zero dropouts during our testing. It's incredibly comfortable with soft padding around the cups that remain cool for hours and an elasticated band across the crown that feels light with no pinching. The SteelSeries 7X wireless gaming headset is a fantastic performer and is the best Xbox Series X headset we can recommend to all our friends. Simple, easy, and very affordable, so perhaps a risk-free Xbox Series X headset. In addition, the mic is clear and detachable, and there's a color-coded cable that plugs into any 3.5mm connection. We were particularly impressed by the punchy treatment given to our weapons in Wolfenstein Youngblood, with rich tones and excellent feedback to every action. The audio won't win sky-high awards, but it's on a par with most mid-range headsets and manages some snappy treble. Its design is also robust enough to withstand being pulled on and off your head with a carefree attitude and survive the odd bump or two. We never noticed any scuffs or scratches from everyday use here. We loved the memory foam ear-cups and a comfy headband, making the Corsair HS35 perfectly comfortable for long periods of play during our testing. The Corsair HS35 Stereo headset is a great all-rounder as far as over-ear gaming headsets go, looking stylish and sounding superb despite the lack of 5 or 7.1 surround sound.
