About Sound Card Drivers:

Usually, Windows operating systems apply a generic audio driver that computers to recognize the sound card component and make use of its basic functions.
When enabled by proper files, the characteristics of the sound card (like model, manufacturer, number of channels) are completely available to computers, and all its features are made accessible.
Updating the audio version can improve sound quality, resolve different compatibility issues, fix related errors spotted throughout the product's usage, add support for new operating systems, and bring various other changes.
As for applying this package, the steps are quite simple since each producer intends to uncomplicate things for users: just download the package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Bear in mind that, even though other operating systems might be compatible as well, it is not recommend that you apply any software on platforms other than the specified ones. Also, when the installation has finished, do perform a restart to ensure that all changes take effect properly.
Therefore, if you wish to install this audio version, click the download button and apply the package. Remember to check with our website as often as possible to stay “updated one minute ago.”

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.

A headset that costs as much as an Xbox Series X?

There are many Xbox headsets on the market, and we review each and everyone we can get our hands on for our best Xbox One headset and best Xbox Series X, Series S headsets round-ups. I tend to review with the mindset of 'is this value for money?' at the forefront of my mind, reminding myself consistently that, ultimately, I'm trying to inform you lovely people what is actually worth the dollars. I have to say, when discovering that Bang and Olufsen were making a special 'Limited Series' Xbox headset, I was intrigued.. until I saw the price.

This is the B&O Beoplay Portal, which costs a whopping $500 — the same price as an Xbox Series X. My first thought was, quite honestly, how can that possibly be justified?

The Beoplay Portal represents the philosophical intersection between a 'gamer' headset and a 'lifestyle' headset. Lifestyle means something you can wear outside without feeling silly, complete with features and sound quality that make your favorite Spotify tracks soar. In addition, you also have Xbox Wireless compatibility, giving you a direct link to the audio on your Xbox console.

The Portal is not the only headset on the market that boasts some of these features. The LucidSound LS50X also has Bluetooth and Xbox Wireless, as does Microsoft's own official Xbox Wireless Headset. Both of these are immensely cheaper than the Beoplay Portal too, clocking in at $250 and $100 respectively.

Can build quality, additional features, audio reproduction, and the B&O name really justify the mammoth price tag? Well, we went out and bought one, so we could find out and let you know.

Bottom line: The B&O Beoplay Portal is a true rarity in the games accessories market, bringing some premium flair to the competition. However, I would expect a headset that costs as much as my console to be effectively perfect. With microphones that are just passable, and the omission of Bluetooth and Xbox sound source mixing, the Beoplay Portal doesn't make the grade. This is a lifestyle headset first, with a dash of gaming.

The Good

Bang And Olufsen App Hp

Best-in-class app experience with good features
Gorgeous visual design with great ergonomics and actions
Incredibly lightweight and comfortable with premium materials
The only Xbox headset with active noise cancellation
All-day battery life
Impressive audio with Dolby Atmos

The Bad

Internal microphones aren't great
Can't dual-channel Bluetooth and Xbox wireless
The price is hard to justify

The Bang and Olufsen Beoplay Portal is a whopping $500, putting it in the same range as higher-end lifestyle ANC music headsets rather than your typical gamer gear. The headset is part of 'Limited Series' official Xbox gear from Microsoft, labeled so for its supposed premium quality. In that area, the B&O Beoplay certainly makes the grade. Whether or not it's actually worth it will boil down to your preferences, and our full review, but the headphones are generally difficult to buy right now. There are units available from B&O's website and from the Microsoft Store, but many other retailers have already sold out, and we don't know if more will be manufactured.

Admittedly, I don't review many 'lifestyle' headphones, focusing primarily on gaming-style headphones. That's the intersection Bang and Olufsen are pushing here, though. Are gamers willing to pay lifestyle prices for features they get on headphones with gaming brands attached to them? There's certainly something to be said for the engineering process to make headphones not only look good but sound good, too. Most gamer headsets, frankly, don't care too much about the 'look good' aspect.
