The Razer BlackShark V3 is my pick for an open ear headset with dongle for Xbox gaming, but it is not compatible with Xbox consoles. The FIFINE is a wired alternative for PC and PlayStation, while Krysenix is the wireless option here that lists Xbox use.
open ear headset with dongle at a Glance
• Razer BlackShark V3 — best for the same feature set in white; pick this if you want the white version and the listed 70-hour battery life.
• Krysenix Gaming Headset — best for wireless play across listed consoles and PC; pick this if you want a 2.4 GHz dongle, Bluetooth, and a foldable design.
• FIFINE AmpliGame H13P — best for wired PC and PlayStation sessions; pick this if you prefer USB-A connection and virtual 7.1 surround sound.
The BlackShark V3 is an over-ear wireless gaming headset, not an open-ear design. Its black version connects through 2.4 GHz wireless using a USB dongle, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. The important Xbox caveat is clear: this model is not compatible with Xbox consoles. For an Xbox buyer, I would rule it out rather than assume that having a dongle means it will work.
For supported devices, the connectivity gives it a useful mix of flexibility and focused gaming features. Razer lists PC, Mac, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile compatibility. The headset can mix audio from 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth devices at once, so a player could keep game audio on one connection and another device’s audio on the other. It also has a wired USB option for sessions when wireless use is not wanted.
The 50 mm drivers, advertised low-latency 2.4 GHz connection, and THX spatial audio aim at players who care about directional cues. Its detachable 9.9 mm microphone is a practical advantage for voice chat when needed; removing it can also make the headset less mic-focused when listening away from a game. Razer lists a 70-hour battery life, which may suit long stretches between charges, though battery life alone does not make this an Xbox choice.
How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
I recommend this version for PC or PlayStation players who want multiple connection modes and a detachable mic. I would not recommend it to someone shopping specifically for Xbox. It is also over-ear with sound-isolating ear placement, so it does not meet the open-ear part of the search phrase.
This second BlackShark V3 has the same core wireless features in white. It uses 50 mm drivers, a detachable wideband microphone, and 2.4 GHz wireless through a dongle, alongside Bluetooth 5.3 and USB connectivity. It is still an over-ear headset, not an open-ear headset, and the listed compatibility excludes Xbox consoles.
The key reasons to choose this version over the black one are the white finish and the same broad connection setup. On supported devices, mixing 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth audio at the same time could be handy for someone who wants game sound and audio from a mobile device together. Its stated 70-hour battery life and wired USB option also give it more than one way to fit into a gaming routine.
Razer’s spatial-audio and FPS-profile features are aimed at players who want to distinguish in-game cues, while the detachable mic suits regular team communication. Those features are relevant on compatible devices; they do not override the Xbox limitation. If Xbox is the main target, neither BlackShark V3 listing is a sound match.
In my opinion, this is the sensible Razer choice only when a buyer specifically wants the white version for a supported platform. Its trade-offs are substantial for the stated search: it is not open-ear, and it is not compatible with Xbox. I would shortlist it for PC or PlayStation instead.
The Krysenix is an over-ear wireless headset with a 2.4 GHz transmitter for PS5, PS4, PC, and Switch, plus Bluetooth for mobile devices. Unlike the two Razer options, its listed platform set includes Xbox in the product title? No: the provided feature details list PS5, PS4, PC, and Switch for the dongle, and Bluetooth for mobile. They do not establish Xbox-console compatibility. I would not treat it as a confirmed Xbox headset based on these specifications.
Its 50 mm titanium-coated drivers and stated latency of 20 ms or less are aimed at gaming where timing and positional sound matter. The adjustable microphone includes noise-cancelling support, and the foldable design may be useful for storage or carrying between rooms. It also has RGB lighting, a feature that matters more to setup appearance than to connection or comfort.
The stated battery life is over 50 hours, and the listed battery capacity is 1200 mAh. The over-ear protein-leather cushions and adjustable headband describe a conventional enclosed fit, not an open-ear one. Bluetooth 5.4 is listed, but Bluetooth support by itself does not confirm that the headset can pair directly with an Xbox console.
FIFINE AmpliGame H13P
The FIFINE AmpliGame H13P is the wired option in this group. It connects over USB-A and is listed for PC, Mac, PS4, and PS5. Its product information explicitly says it is not compatible with Xbox, so it is not a workaround for an Xbox buyer seeking a dongle headset. It is also over-ear rather than open-ear.
Its 50 mm drivers and virtual 7.1 surround feature are designed to make game audio feel directional. The headset has memory-foam cushions, an adjustable headband, and a metal frame, according to the product details. Those details point to an enclosed, conventional gaming fit rather than the lighter, more aware-of-surroundings feel some shoppers expect from open-ear audio.
The wired connection is both its main convenience and its main limitation. There is no wireless dongle to manage or battery to charge, but the cable restricts movement compared with the wireless models. The headset also lists a noise-cancelling microphone, passive noise cancellation, and volume control. Those may suit a fixed PC or PlayStation setup where a direct USB connection is preferred.
I recommend it for a player who wants a wired USB-A headset for a compatible PC or PlayStation system and values virtual surround sound. I would not choose it for Xbox, wireless use, or an open-ear fit. For someone comparing true wireless earbuds for Xbox or fast charging sports earbuds for Xbox, this product is not that kind of device; it is a wired gaming headset, and no fast-charging claim is provided.
I compared the listed connection types, platform compatibility, microphone and audio features, and design details for each headset.
The ordering is my independent editorial opinion, based on how well the stated features fit the Xbox-focused search.
No brand paid for placement.
No. The provided specifications explicitly say the BlackShark V3 is not compatible with Xbox consoles. Its 2.4 GHz dongle and Bluetooth features do not change that platform limitation.
None of the four is clearly confirmed as Xbox-compatible in the supplied details. The Razer and FIFINE models are explicitly ruled out; Krysenix lists several platforms but does not establish Xbox-console support.
No. Each product is described as over-ear. If an open-ear fit is essential, these models do not match that part of the search.
The specifications here do not confirm direct Xbox Bluetooth support for any model. Bluetooth support for mobile devices should not be taken as proof of compatibility with an Xbox console.
For Xbox, I would not buy any of these on the assumption that a dongle or Bluetooth will work. The Razer models and FIFINE are explicitly incompatible, and Krysenix’s listed details do not confirm Xbox support. If you are also comparing fast charging Bluetooth headphones for Xbox, verify console compatibility and charging details before choosing; neither is established for these products.
