Bang & Olufsen to launch premium gaming audio for the Xbox.

Bang & Olufsen and Microsoft have announced a partnership: Bang & Olufsen will launch a series of high-end audio products for the new Xbox Series X console under the "Designed for Xbox" program. It will be possible to connect this technique not only to the Xbox, but additional functionality will be available in conjunction with the console.

So far, the company has not named specific devices and details of the partnership. “We want to enter the gaming market by doing what we have always done: offering amazing sound coupled with great, quality design,” said Christoffer Poulsen, head of product management at Bang & Olufsen. 

Headset headsets are likely to be the first devices, as Matt Kesselring, Microsoft's head of device development, also hinted at, “We're partnering with Bang & Olufsen to bring premium gaming audio to the market that Xbox and Bang lovers & Olufsen from all over the world will be able to take with them wherever they like to play on the Xbox. "

But perhaps the companies will also release home devices that use the WiSA protocol, which Bang & Olufsen helped develop in its time. This protocol enables low latency wireless communication between sources and audio devices. The current generation of Xbox consoles already support this protocol - all you need to do is plug in a dongle.
