The receiver comes with a power cord to power the device, as well as an optical cable which can be plugged into your PC or Xbox One system. The headset comes with a separate receiver. On the right ear cup is the power button – hold to power on and power off, press to mute the microphone – as well as the 3.5mm jack which can connect to your Xbox One controller to initiate chat functionality, and a share-audio port that will allow an extra person to hear game audio being passed through the receiver to your headset. The other side houses the removable battery.Ī microphone extends from the left ear cup and bends, which gives consumers options for where they wish to place their microphone.

One side houses a micro-usb port which can be used to perform software updates on the headset. On the side of each ear cup is a removable cover. Each side of the headset extends near the cups to help fit the device snugly on your head. The headset is pretty basic looking, and really there isn’t an eye appeal that will draw you to this. The headset is completely matte black. There are no major aesthetic bells and whistles to this headset – like there are in many headsets from other companies – but with this release, Steel Series is pursuing functionality and comfort they have succeeded. Through ease of use and outstanding audio quality, for over 300.00, you won’t find a much better headset. I’ve used high end headsets before, but none of them have been as user friendly as the Steel Series Siberia X800 headset.
