These were created with the Xbox ecosystem in mind, and with a push of its pairing button, they can connect to the Series X, Series S, Xbox One, or to a PC that has the Xbox Wireless adapter plugged into it. Additionally, they support a concurrent connection via Bluetooth 5.1 for other devices (including other consoles if you supply the Bluetooth adapter). This way, you can take calls without totally detaching from game audio.

Similar to the Bose QC35 gaming headset that released last year, the Beoplay Portal look like high-end wireless headphones (and in many ways, act like them, too), and come with a high-end price. These cost $499 and are available now in the black colorway at Best Buy, the Microsoft Store, and through Bang & Olufsen’s site. Two other colors, gray and navy, will be available starting April 29th.

I understand paying a premium for a premium product, but if it doesn't work across all platforms (i.e. PS5, Series X, PC, Switch, etc.), it's a no for me.

Paying that much for a console, specifically one console-only headset is out of control.

Just come to PC already if you are paying that much for a headset.

Yeah true, can get a proper entry DAC/AMP with a decent pair of cans for that price.
