I have an Xbox series X and the official Xbox wireless headset. Both are updated to the latest software/firmware. The Xbox internet is hardwired. The Xbox is below my TV and the wireless headset is no more than 6 feet away on the couch with an unobstructed view.

While playing I notice intermittent choppy audio on the wireless headset. I tried different audio configurations for the headset in the settings (Dolby to stereo, etc) but the problem persists. Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem and any luck with a fix?

    No, it uses the 5ghz channel. 5150-5250 hz

    Source: I literally have the regulatory FCC booklet it comes with in front of me.

      Oops. My bad then. In that case decongesting 2.4GHz channel won’t really do any good.

      Update: I’m finding conflicting information online. This is from Ars Technica:

      The XWH includes built-in compatibility with the 2.4GHz wireless protocol exclusive to Xbox consoles and accessories—arguably a clearer and more stable connection option than Bluetooth, depending on your ideal gaming room.

        They don’t have the correct information then. The booklet I have is the definitive answer, I bet they got their info from some other source.

        Not that it matters at this point anyway. OP may as well try both.
