    RRP doesn't equal a deal.

      • +35

        Well you hovered over the deal button, clicked submit deal, confirmed deal submission, and now denying that you consider this a deal lmao..

        • yikes lmao

        • -2

          Is there any button available to press? If PS5 and XBOX Series X are Deal then consider this also as Deal

            @Siddh: you clearly don't understand how product scarcity works.

              @Carrian: You does? 🤦🏻‍♂️

      • It's in the deal section though.

    • Has the gpu debacle not taught you anything?

      • +1

        Do you think a headset will be on the same level of demand as a 30 series card or console?

          Many people seems to agree with that statement, they all got memes

          With tech rn, you want it, you preorder, period

          • @ln28909: Like i said. This isn't a 3080.

            This won't suffer from manufacturing issues.

            This won't be hard to obtain.

            • @scuderiarmani: I'm sure the person that made the comment had the exact same thought

              • @ln28909: OK ignore what doesn't suit you.

                Please explain why this will suffer from the manufacturing problems that those tech products are?

                Till you do, I won't bother.

                • @scuderiarmani: lol, wrong mentality, good luck scraping up the leftovers

                • @scuderiarmani: It’s not the PS5 controller charger dock either, but it was quite difficult to find it in stock.

                  Fact is, this console generation and its accessories have been difficult to find in stock and even when they would become available to pre-order, they would sell out almost instantly.

                  • @iBuzz7S: Sony products have been in higher demand.

                    I haven't seen any issues with MS accessories. I purchased the storage expansion easily, Controllers etc etc are available.

                    • @scuderiarmani: prior to launch of series x/s there was massive xbox controller shortages. that wasnt so long ago

          May be.. I don’t do predictions like u does🥴

    This isn't for news announcements.

    Not a bargain.

      One said Not a deal, you said No a bargain. 🤦🏻‍♂️ What kind of world 🌎 it is?

  • Op must be new here.

    • -2

      Yes, same like u🥴

  • +2

    Good deal. I think it will be sold out if you wait for 16 March.

  • Free delivery!

  • Curious to see if handles Dolby Atmos properly. Lucid Audio lsx35 do a poor job with clicks on pc.

    RRP doesn’t equal a deal necessarily but I massively appreciate the heads up OP.

    9% off Xbox cards through Suncorp.

    Brings price down to $136.50

    • Can those suncorp cards be used to buy consoles?

      • +1

        Yes, they're just Microsoft cards

        I've purchased, there is no option to pay using gift cards, however online chat was able to put the order through, was quite quick.

        • Really? I've never had an issue paying by account balance.

        • Sorry to sound like a fool, but im trying to do this now, is it the 'xbox currency' gift card?

  • +2

    Just looking at the spec: No Bluetooth 5.0. Just 0.3m usbc charger cable

    Bluetooth Bluetooth version: 4.2 (A2DP, HFP, HSP)
    Codec: SBC

    What’s in the box Xbox Wireless Headset
    USB-C charging cable (14 inches long)

    • I wonder if it really only does SBC codec on BT. A bit of a shame if so.

  • Whilst not a deal the point about product scarcity might be valid. According to those on reddit it seems that in the US and Canada it’s already OOS with this lot of preorders.

    With the quality of their Stereo Headset I wouldn't be wanting to be one of the first ordering these. That thing was a hunk of poo.

    • this is 3 times the price of that stereo headset.

      • Not quite 3 times more expensive. Especially at release RRP. It also has much more advanced features so the price increase obviously equates for that too. It definitely looks better quality but that's just a ad for it at the moment, hopefully it turns out nothing like the wired one.

        • +1

          agreed. but they also have 30 day easy returns so happy to take the plunge

  • fair to assume this will be OOS on release. cheers OP

  • +1

    Just wait for reviews on how these sound before buying. Don't buy into the FOMO based on reports of people in NA needing instant gratification before we know if these are crap or not. If they're good, waiting is not the end of the world, you survived fine before these even existed

    • Microsoft are pretty good with returns within 30 days here in Australia, and can sometimes push for a refund further down the track if it develops endless issues so if you have disposable cash and willing to be the guinea pig it's not the worst option

    More landfill.

      Oi Bill Gates is my dad, I'll have you banned within the hour.

      • What's your address let's fite IRL

  • For anybody interested, here’s an unboxing video.

  • For anyone buying this for their series s|x be aware that there is an issue with wireless headsets causing controllers to drop out. When it drops out you both the headset and controller sit there as if they're trying to sync. The only way to get them working again is to perform a hard reset by holding in the power button on the console (rebooting from the menu doesn't work).

    This is listed on the MS site for known issues
    (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/xba_console/k…).
    I use a Razer headset and experience this constantly. Plenty of post for the same issue from users of other branded headsets such as Steel series Arctis. The official workaround is to use a controller from a previous gen console.

    Perhaps these will work better, but I'll wait for the reviews.

  • Used Rewards points to preorder.

  • Anyone gotten shipping info yet?

    • Nope not yet. My order is still showing as 'Pre-Ordered' which is weird since they have released. They are even available to purchase from the Microsoft Store so they have stock.

  • I asked Microsoft help and this is the response I received, "I see! The new Xbox Wireless headset! It should be dispatched based on US time. So for now lets wait for it! Cheers!" What is the point of getting it a day or two after it is available in Australian stores. I might as well cancel my order and pick it up from JB HIFI.

    • Yeah very bizarre and disappointing from MS. My order still hasn't shipped; unfortunately my cancel button has disappeared and both JB and EB locals are now out of stock…

  • Just got an email say it had been shipped!
