Bass, treble and mids are all well-represented, with more detail than the earlier Arctis 7X.
Microphone performance is also outstanding, even in loud environments, with the option for AI noise cancellation.
Overall, this is a strong option that is only eclipsed by thesignificantly more expensive Arctis Nova Pro Wireless.
Given the improvements and the relatively aggressive pricing, the Xbox Wireless Headset is a great value option.
While the design is very familiar, the audio quality is slightly more novel.
Beyond the long feature list, comfort and build quality are reasonably good but not class-leading.
If it existed as a cheaper alternative to those headsets, it would rank higher on this list.
How does it sound?
The headset is available standalone, but we recommend picking up the version with the bundled MixAmp.
The MixAmp provides convenient dials for adjusting the volume and game/chat balance plus easy connections to PC and Xbox.
It also works on PC with the Xbox Wireless Adapter.
This is convenient, but makes an unpleasant scraping sound.
For the money, the LS15X is a reasonable choice.
Recent price drops have also put the headset into closer contention with its peers.
