BANG AND OLUFSEN XBOX HEADSET REVIEW BLUETOOTH
It comes with active noise-cancelling (ANC) and Bluetooth 5.1 technologies for exactly that purpose. You wouldn't look out of place listening to music on a train, for example. That's somewhat the point as the Portal is designed for use both in play and in general listening. In fact, it is reminiscent of the brand's more generic over-ears, such as the Beoplay HX. It looks smart too - quite unlike most gaming headsets on the market. And given the sensible weight there's no doubt that this is a headset that can be worn during lengthy play sessions. There's a soft underside to the light headband too, which is covered in material to ensure comfort and durability. It is made of quality materials, including soft leather for the earcups and aluminium for the arms. In design terms, the second-generation Portal is identical to the first.

I can't honestly comment on battery life beyond the fact that with a full day of work and play I didn't run it down, only recharging that night to make sure it didn't run out on the subway the next day. The premium product fitted into my daily life like it was always meant to be there, replacing my AirPod Pros for my commute and becoming my go-to for sitting at my desk, whether I was gaming or sitting through a work Zoom call and doing a lot of nodding at a webcam.

Testing the Beoplay Portal headset for PC and PlayStation was one of the easiest assignments ever. Sure, it’s meant so that important people can take calls without pausing their Call of Duty: Warzone sessions, but it works just as well for binging true crime podcasts while you’re grinding some Sims 4 too. This is also the first headset I’ve used with the ability to connect two audio devices at the same time, which was a revelation. Having a tiny, easily lost dongle for connecting to my PS5 feels like an accident waiting to happen, so pray for me. My reflexes are 38 years old, but I didn't notice any lag while gaming and my connections stayed steady with the dongle and my phone.
I used the hidden mic for phone calls, meetings, and shouting instructions at strangers in-game with no issues. Performanceįirst off, connecting up is easy thanks to Bluetooth for cellphones and tablets and the included USB-C dongle for PC and consoles, and there's an old-fashioned 1.25m audio jack cable for wired connections if you're feeling retro.
The basics - volume, power, noise-canceling mode, and Bluetooth - are all managed with subtle buttons on the earcups. If you're the sort of person who says things like "vinyl just sounds warmer, you know?" at parties then you'll want to fiddle with the settings to get the balance right for the most immersive gaming. The Portal also packs in transparency mode - otherwise known as the "it's better if you can hear the zombies coming" mode - and an optional app with presets like music, podcast, and gaming and EQ controls for fine-tuning to your liking.
