Yes, I have these (I think it's this version) and they're excellent. Could do with a mute button for the mic but other than that? Cracking.ChopperByrne wrote:I have this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-Headset-KHX-H3CL/dp/B01LE64VO4 Cost me about €50 I think. It's pretty good.

As long as you have an Xbox controller with a 3.5mm jack (June 2015 onwards, you'll need an adapter for early models) it's just a matter of plugging 'em in, voice chat should work just fine.

The standard wired A40 headset should work just fine as is. Plug and go in either console. Haven't used or even heard anyone use a Steel Series, but they do have a decent rep.

What's the deal with Dolby Atmos on the One? I primarily use my PS4 for online gaming, so I could leave the MixAmp connected to that and then just connect the wired headset into my XBox controller and have Atmos surround from that, am I right?

Haha!
It does seem an awful lot of hassle and farting about. I had like the look of the SteelSeries ones but then I read that they don’t do surround sound at all. I’m running short of USB ports as it is on my PS4 and most headsets seem to require a dongle of some sort.
Is there a decent Bluetooth pair that do surround sound and can also use a cable for XBox? I want faff free gaming as much as possible.
