A wireless headset that supports stereophonic technologies such as Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: X. In addition to being able to connect to multiple Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 at the same time, it also supports Bluetooth, which allows connection to mobile devices.

The driver is a 40mm caliber synthetic paper diaphragm + neodymium magnet, impedance 32Ω, the frequency response is 20Hz to 20kHz, battery drive time is up to 15 hours, charging time is about 3 hours, and 30 minutes of charging can drive about 4 hours.

How does it connect to the consoles?
From what I understand the consoles don't have Bluetooth.

I couldn't imagine why not either. Wouldn't 5.1 be backwards compatible with the rest before it right??
Why would you release a new headset with BT 4.2 not 5.1 ?

Bluetooth is the secondary wireless connection so I guess they didn't think it was important and probably got a good offer on 4.2 chips.

WiFi. There's a good chance it'll work on PC with the wireless adapter.

Yes it's backwards compatible. It's probably a cost thing. 4.2 in bulk from some supplier getting rid.

Wonder if the low latency of these through the Xbox also applies to Xbox One and PC. Interesting headset to say the least, and you have to imagine it's decent after their experience with the Surface headphones.
