What these six have in common
All six connect to an Xbox wirelessly and also list a PlayStation and a PC. Five of them are Xbox editions of a model that the maker also sells for other platforms: SteelSeries marks its Xbox editions with an X (Nova 3X, Nova 5X), Razer puts "for Xbox" in the name, and Turtle Beach lists the Stealth 600 Gen 3 as an XBOX option. The sixth, the Astro A50 X, is a single edition that Logitech says connects to Xbox, PS5 and PC at once through its HDMI base station.
Five of the six add Bluetooth for your phone. Razer lists a simultaneous mode on the BlackShark V3 Pro, which mixes both connections; SteelSeries says the Arctis Nova 3X switches between them instead. Logitech's page for the A50 X doesn't mention Bluetooth.
Where they differ most is battery life and the microphone. Battery figures run from 24 hours (A50 X, which Logitech lists with a charging dock) to 80 hours (Stealth 600 Gen 3). Razer gives two figures for its Xbox editions, up to 70 hours on PC and up to 48 hours on console, so expect the lower one on an Xbox. Three have a detachable mic, one a retractable mic and one a flip-to-mute mic; Logitech's page doesn't describe the A50 X's mic.
How to pick between these
- If you also play on Switch → the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X or Nova 5X, or the Astro A50 X. They are the three here whose makers list the Switch.
- If you forget to charge → the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 for Xbox (80 hours), then the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X (50 hours).
- If you want the mic out of sight when you're not gaming → the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X, whose mic retracts into the ear cup, or one of the three with a detachable mic.
- If you play in a noisy room → the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro for Xbox, the only Xbox headset in our catalogue whose maker states active noise cancellation (hybrid ANC).
- If an Xbox, a PS5 and a PC share one desk → the Astro A50 X.
Trade-offs to know about
Xbox editions are tied to Xbox through their dongle. Turtle Beach lists Xbox, PlayStation, Bluetooth mobile devices and PC for the Stealth 600 Gen 3 for Xbox, but not the Switch, and Razer's lists for its two Xbox editions don't include the Switch either. If a Switch is in the house, the two SteelSeries models and the A50 X are the ones here whose makers list it.
The A50 X is the odd one out: it works through its HDMI base station rather than a USB dongle, and its stated 24 hours is the shortest here. In exchange it is the only headset in this list that connects to three systems at once.
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2 also fits this list (Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Switch, retractable mic, 54 hours), and SteelSeries' store showed it in stock on October 27, 2026 (sold out on October 20). It is in the finder but not a pick.
