Btw if you have a tv with optical port out can connect optical port to that then usb to Xbox to get chat mix and the great audio your welcome

[@AndrewJPlays]

download update from astro command center and make sure your mixamp is in pc mode when you connect it to your laptop/computer. Make sure the side of the cord for your headset that has 4 black rings goes in the headset side 2) make sure you have it usb plugged into the back of xbox for me it only works in the middle port that accepts usb. 3) all cables must be fully plugged in. 4) THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. HARD RESET YOUR XBOX. (YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE YOUR AUX PORT AT ALL TO MAKE IT WORK. You do not need to plug anything into your controller. 5) Once you are booted back up after the reset it should recognize your headset. Make sure you flip the switch back into xbox mode after your pc update. You can use your aux port for auxing music now and still use a mic simultaneousy. This is what i did to make it work. I even made a video even tho i never have posted before because this was so frustrating at first

The surround icon on mixamp should be turned off not on. If it's on it messes up with the Atmos. Even in xbox settings it says turn off any other enhancements that comes with your headphones

[@ttboosted7634]

[@brianm2850]

You actually do not want the Dolby setting on from the amp with the Headphones set to Dolby Atmos on the Xbox. Let the Xbox do the heavy lifting for your headphones.

[@brandoncouch3162]

I can’t get the surround sound to work....it’s just studio sound

[@zmoclov21]

It seems a bit counterintuitive, but this is correct. The Dolby button on the Mixamp is if you don't have the Dolby app/the media you are using doesn't support it and its basically an upscaler/virtual Dolby. So if you have the app and the media/game you are listening to supports it the Dolby button on the MixAmp should be set to the star icon, which means passthrough to, like you said, let the Dolby app/xbox do the spatial surround sound processing. Otherwise the sound will be getting processed twice and sound bad.

[@keshh_x6950]

I have these with the Series X and without the optical port, it’s horrible sound quality. Horrendous through Atmos and is best used through Stereo Uncompressed which means any standard headset is now the same as these sets. You cannot use the mixamp to change the EQs in the command centre as all sound is the same. If you have an Xbox one X, this is the best headset out. Series X, anything will be the same or better than these.

[@ReclaimerX]

THESE ARE A BAD CHOICE FOR SERIES X! They have a clicking echo that comes back every time you turn the Xbox off and back on. It can be temporarily fixed by unplugging the charging/transmitting station from its power source, but it will come back the next time you power off the Xbox. This was NOT an issue on Xbox One. Lack of optical audio means you have to go into settings and play with Atmos to get on par quality as a simple plug and go cable. I love these because they're otherwise great, but I wish I could go back and not get them.

@@Chr0nicCrusader I did this, I also took them to my friends house he us a genius with his pc and they still wouldn't work. They didn't work on a xbox one or my series x.

@@Chr0nicCrusader I owned them for 24 hours then I returned them, I will stick with my arctis 9x for now. I even have connection problems with them from time to time.

Can you plug these into your PC?

[@TechinaSec101]

yes you can :)

[@MUMMY9ful]

Please these 7.1 or no

[@TechinaSec101]

Hi, Its Dolby Atmos. So its not 7.1 but better

[@itzgodlikexsexe6067]

wait what?? these dont work with the nextgen consoles since you cant use optical output anymore. if you use usb only you just have a extreemly expensive sound control station infront of you

[@michaellewis6693]

You can buy a optical dongle directly from Astro. Gives you the optical back and the great sound as well.

@@michaellewis6693 yes you can but they dont work with VRR so it makes games like warzone look terrible when trying to run at 120fps

[@Alyssaaldc3105]

I got this a few months ago. It will let u run an optical on series x and still get 1440@120hz. I done alot of searching and found this one that actually does what it says. I think I ordered 6 different converters that all said they run 120hz 1440p and when connected they didn't. This one is good

I have read many comments. that the Audio. It is not the same. That. Is 🗑. And since it is sponsored review you are going to say that the audio is the best.

[@TechinaSec101]

Hi, Not really i say my feedback regardless. How ever i never tested a headset on the original last gen. so i cant compare.
