The 5X is the Nova 5 family member built for Xbox. Its transmitter also supports listed USB platforms when switched to USB mode, while the companion app offers more than 100 EQ presets and the retractable microphone tucks into the earcup.
The verdict
The Nova 5X is a sensible exact-model gift for an Xbox player who also uses supported USB or Bluetooth devices. Confirm every target platform, port and chat feature first: connection does not mean identical controls or software support everywhere.

The 5X transmitter supports Xbox in Xbox mode and PlayStation in USB mode. Feature parity is not complete: SteelSeries lists ChatMix for Xbox, not PlayStation, and Windows ChatMix uses GG/Sonar on Windows 10 or later.

It retracts into the earcup, but retraction is not the same as muting. Use the headset's microphone-mute control when privacy matters.
