Looks like the day of the dongle are numbered. Turtle Beach is a peripheral manufacturer that has been making some neat headsets for console. The latest is called Stealth 600 which is a wireless headset becoming available on 4 September 2017 for both the Xbox One and PS4.
The difference is that the PS4 will still require a dongle while the Xbox One will connect direct to the headset. If you have preordered it from their site, you could actually get your Xbox headset before launch date.
As Turtle Beach describes it:
For comfort, the STEALTH 600 dawns the latest iteration of Turtle Beach’s unique ProSpecs™ glasses friendly design, and has a breathable mesh fabric-wrapped headband and ear-cushions. The STEALTH 600 also includes Turtle Beach’s exclusive Superhuman Hearing™sound setting, Mic Monitoring, independent game and chat volume control, audio presets including Bass Boost, and a 15-hour rechargeable battery…all for an MSRP of $99.95
If you can hold onto your panties for a bit longer, the Stealth 700 comes out on Xbox one 4 September too, but 24 September for PS4.
Since I have a PS4, I will hold out a bit longer for the S700 for the advanced noise cancellation, DTS virtual 7.1 surround sound and better ear pads. With AIR Entertainment moving towards live streaming, online gaming and reviews, this will come in handy.
The headsets are all available from Amazon on preorder too:
