According to the well-known leaker Billbil-kun, the Xbox Wireless Headset will receive an upgrade in just a few days - albeit without any major improvements. However, Xbox gamers still have to be prepared for a price increase.

The Xbox Wireless Headset from 2021 (available in the Microsoft Store for $100) impressed with its good sound quality, high comfort and useful functions such as simultaneous connection to console and Bluetooth devices, but was criticized for its relatively short battery life of around 15 hours. As the well-known leaker Billbil-kun reports on Dealabs, a new edition of the Xbox headset is on the horizon. Although it is said to be expensive, it will not bring any significant improvements.

According to Billbil-kun, the new edition, referred to as the "refresh," is scheduled to launch in North America on November 5, 2024, with the European release following on October 22, 2024. The design won't see any major changes compared to its predecessor, with only minor adjustments to the packaging currently known. A white version is unlikely to be released, which is surprising considering the recently announced white digital edition of the Xbox Series X.

The new edition is not expected to bring any major technical improvements. However, according to Billbil-kun, minor upgrades that justify the price increase are possible, but not yet known. A price increase is to be expected in any case. According to the leaker, prices will increase by $10 in the U.S., bringing the total to $109.99, by £5 in the UK, and by €10 in Europe.
