The Soundcore Space One True Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones can theoretically be used for gaming on a console. However, their functionality as headphones and a microphone depends on the compatibility with the console's settings.

When using the headphones for both listening and microphone input, the mic generally operates in hands-free mode which uses SBC encoding, possibly introducing background noise and lower sound quality. This mode is necessary for the microphone to function. Alternatively, stereo mode provides higher sound quality but only allows listening — the microphone won't work in this mode.

Make sure to check your console's audio settings to ensure compatibility with these modes.
