Xbox’s LED lights can be distracting, especially to gamers at night. Users would soon be able to turn off their power button light or dim it.

Xbox wireless budget-friendly $99 headset has been around for a while now. Originally announced in March this year, they offer a more than average experience most gaming headphones provide at that price point.
Microsoft boasts this headset will churn out 15 hours of listening time per charge. While a 30 minutes charge will give users 4 hours of listening time, and a Full charge in 3 hours time.
Although it doesn’t have an audio jack, which is fine for most people. The Xbox wireless headset is also not compatible with non-Xbox consoles, you can use it for your shiny PS5 console.
Microsoft uses the same design language used for its Surface headphones. The rotating dials on both ear cups are super intuitive. The left dial has an external mic for voice dialogue, gamers can adjust chat and games sound by rotating the dial.
On the left dial is the volume control, which can also be adjusted by rotating the dial. Sadly, the Xbox wireless headset has only passive noise cancellation, at $99 it’s no biggie.
The competition doesn’t offer passive cancellation, not to talk of active noise cancellation. Still on the right ear cup is a USB-C port for charging, and connectivity using a USB-C to USB Type-A cable for PCs.
For the screen, users can disable HDR at Night to reduce the overall screen brightness.
