Microsoft has launched a new Xbox Series S promotion, bundling consoles with its latest Xbox Stereo Headset. The limited-time deal entitles those in the U.S. and Canada to Microsoft’s official wired headset when purchasing any Xbox Series S console via the Microsoft Store. The bundle marks the latest Xbox Series S offer as stock shortages show signs of subsiding across the globe.
Microsoft Store visitors can claim a complimentary Xbox Stereo Headset at checkout, translating to a $60 or $75 saving, when coupled with an Xbox Series S. Microsoft offers the same discount on standard Xbox Series S consoles, and the Fortnite & Rocket League Bundle, both priced at $299.99 in the U.S. and $379.99 in Canada.
The Xbox Stereo Headset is Microsoft’s official wired Xbox headset, sharing a similar design to its Xbox Wireless Headset — just with more wires. It’s one of the best budget Xbox headsets available, boasting good quality 40mm speakers and a clear mic for voice chats. It also has an on-ear dial for volume control, a sliding mic mute switch, and a 3.5mm jack for easy connectivity across devices.
We recommend picking up this deal with the Xbox Series S Fortnite & Rocket League Bundle, the only bundle available on Microsoft’s next-gen machines. While identical to the standard Xbox Series S, the console also ships with in-game rewards for free-to-play hits, Fortnite and Rocket League.
The Xbox Series S remains a capable console, first launching aside Xbox Series X in late 2020. It’s the new, affordable Xbox, running the same games as Xbox Series X, but targeting below 4K resolution. It’s also an all-digital console lacking a disc drive, making this better for downloads and subscription services like Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft has also started to offer discounted Xbox Series X refurbs for those looking for more on a budget.
