Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal Xbox - Wireless Bluetooth Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Gaming Headphones with 4 Microphones, Playtime Up to 42 Hours, Dolby Atmos Headset + USB-C Cable - Navy

Bought these headphones mainly for playingModern Warfare 2 on the Xbox. The sound quality (using the free Dolby Atmos licence included) is brilliant - I used the ready made FPS setting for online multiplayer and it really helped me in hearing approaching footsteps and the direction they were coming from. I’ve also listened to music and movies on them and again the sound is awesome. For music I reckon most people will want to mess with the EQ as the standard setting is quite light on the bass.I noticed some reviews said the mic is too quiet but I haven’t found this. In fact, my friends said I sounded louder and more clear than with my old headset.The build quality is top notch and they look super sleek. Despite being aimed at gaming, I’d happily wear these to the gym (if I’d gone for the other standard gaming headset I was going to get before I spotted this, I would have looked a t@*t in public in it). I got the navy version and they look great - the gold colour on the sides isn’t quite as bold as it looks in photos. It’s classy and understated. The leather ear cups are made from lamb skin and are really comfortable - they fit completely over my ears (although my ears are small!).Connections to the app, my Xbox and to my phone have all been seamless with no dropping out.I was tentative about ordering from this particular store after seeing their reviews (people saying high value items were missing and had been replaced with cheap items of a similar weigh, eg. shower gel) and so I ensured I ordered on my credit card for extra protection and I filmed myself opening the package just in case I needed to prove the contents to Amazon. Absolutely no issue though.I really rate this headset and can’t fault it at such a reduced price (£180). The only niggle I have is that it needs a case but with the saving I’ll happily buy one myself.

Why did you choose this product over others?:I love these so much, wear them all the time. The sound quality is fab and the noise cancellation is pretty good too!

Bought these to replace a number of headphones used in and around home, including a long-lasting set of ASTRO A40s used regularly for playing/watching content on my Xbox. The sound quality is really, really, REALLY rather nice and ups the ante on my older kit. For music and films the benefits are obvious - but I was taken aback at the difference it made to gaming. The range offered by the headphones seemed to draw details out that were lost to my older, more bassy headphones.The build quality is excellent and they fit my huge head just fine (no small ask!). Only thing to draw attention to are:1 - There is no case included. Get one quick!2 - You'll need an Xbox controller dongle to use them wirelessly on the PC. Luckily I had one, and it works just fine.3 - The supporting app is not as well built as the headphones. Broadly speaking, I am not fussed as it doesn't impact generally on how I use them.I have read other reviews complaining about drop-out but I haven't suffered this at all. I like the buttons, their placement and how they work, and think the noise cancelling is more than satisfactory for my use when needed.If the app matched the headphone build quality and included a case (or even a bag) this would have been a five star review.In summary, I think they're great and at the price I paid an absolute bargain. Very happy indeed with my purchase!

I've been a Razer fan for a number of years, but as of late I found their latest offerings just too plastic and not providing the depth that one would need in next gen gaming.I'm a B&O fan outside of gaming, but when I saw the opportunity of buying a certified gaming headset with the logo I couldn't resist. First off, I had no intention of using the headset on my Xbox, I'm mainly a PC gamer and wanted to use this on Steam games such as PUBG, COD, Forza etc. I bought the Xbox Windows dongle to pair with the headset and it takes a matter of 2 seconds to connect and unlock the features. You'll open access to the Dolby app which really does make this headset come to life with various EQ settings and realism. I find a V curve covers most genre's of games - there are various presets such as Game/Music/Voice etc but they're a little flat.The headset has the ability to replicate other player's sounds especially in buildings where you want to hide and capture your opponent, vs the other brands of Headsets that I tried (Corsair, Razer, HyperX, Sennheiser etc) I just found the sounds in buildings rather out of touch with reality vs the B&O.For the money, I will honestly bet any buyers that you can't find such a decent headset for the money - remember B&O are audio experts, not jack of all trades focussing on swamping the market with plastic devices. This is a premium headset that you can also use on your commute for a stunning bouquet of sounds and bass. The mobile app is an absolute gem to use, and caters for all audiophiles requirements.Battery life I would say needs a slight improvement, I find it uses 25% per hour so around 4 or so good hours usage on any games using HD audio.Overall, I'm one happy chappy, no more low end devices are coupled with my PC!

Sound quality is good nothing specialThe mic however is a absolute shambles, numerous comments from people I play with asking if I was using a kinect, I thought I was on the end of a wind up until I joined the party from my partners Xbox and low and behold I got her to speak and it sounded like she was in a cave in the outback.i am so disappointed that from such a prestigious brand I received something so poor, after 1 hour after being charged all night the battery was on 68% so for hardcore gamers this headset is waste of time please anyone reading this purchase the steel series Arctis nova pros or JBL quantum 910x my partner has the steel series and they are 1000x better, I've gotten the jbls to replace these and all I can say is wow you will not be disappointed.
