Report: Xbox Will 'Refresh' Its Official Wireless Headset Later This Month

A new report has landed today that suggests Microsoft is looking to refresh its official wireless headset for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. According to outlet dealabs, this new version of the 2021 headset is coming to market later this month - starting in Europe.

Now, what's strange here is that well-known leaker billbil-kun hasn't been able to pinpoint any major changes to the headset, besides a slight price bump. According to the insider, the headset will cost an extra $10 when it launches on October 22nd in Europe and November 5th in the US.

The outlet also reports that several retailers are sold out of the current headset, suggesting that they're waiting for this refresh to update stock. The source claims that from what they've heard, the headset will again be black in colour, and that when it comes to packaging and design differences, "there's a good chance that these differences will be very minimal or non-existent".

So yeah, we're not entirely sure of the point of this upcoming headset refresh, unless Microsoft comes out to confirm more details on this in the coming weeks. It's also worth noting that this is just a report for now of course, so the info contained within shouldn't be taken as gospel until Xbox confirms it, or this thing hits store shelves.
