Voice-first chat with strangers — plus group rooms, eight in-call games, friends, and DMs. Built for real conversation.

XES — voice-first chat illustration

XES is built around voice-first conversation, with room to grow beyond it. At its core, XES is a voice chat platform, anonymous one-to-one calls with strangers from around the world, without the pressure, awkwardness, or unwanted content that video-based platforms so often carry. Voice keeps things real, comfortable, and focused on what actually matters: the conversation.

But voice is only the start. XES also hosts group chat rooms for up to eight people, typed messages inside calls, and a proper library of in-call games — Chess, Backgammon, Battleships, Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman, Pac-Man, Tron, and a collaborative music jam — to play with new friends or old ones. Add anyone you click with as a friend, DM them later, or call them back from your history. Whether you want a quiet one-on-one chat, a noisy room full of voices, or a casual game with someone on the other side of the world, XES is built around trust, safety, and authenticity.

Our Ethos

Don't be a dick.

That's the whole rule, and most people manage it without needing it written down. XES is anonymous voice chat that becomes as social as you want it - a quick word with a potential new friend, a long call, a group room, a communication that carries on in the DMs. Turn up for any of that and you're welcome.

Some of the people you'll meet here are neurodivergent, or going through a hard stretch with depression, loneliness, anxiety, the long week from hell. You usually won't know, because anonymity is the whole point: people get to turn up as they are without having to explain themselves. The flip side is that you might be the only voice someone has heard all day, and being a dick to that person matters more than you think it does. The point is be kind to people.

If you're here to harass people, or to use anonymity as cover for harassing or being the aforementioned dick, you're not welcome. We ban that behaviour quickly. Borderline cases get a chance to cool off; the rest get removed and stay removed.

Most of the moderation actually runs through you. After every call you rate the person you spoke to thumbs up, thumbs down, or block. Ratings feed the queue, so people who make good conversation get matched faster and more often. The people who get value out of the site end up getting more of it, the more of a dick you are the worse the experience will be.

Regarding sex and the way some men behave online. Again, don't be a dick. if two consenting adults end up in an erotic conversation, that's their business and not ours to police. What's not welcome is turning up and immediately propositioning strangers for sex. Most people came here for a conversation, and pushing that on someone who didn't ask for it falls squarely under the same rule. There are lots of sites built for that. We are different.

XES is for adults having anonymous conversations with other adults.

That's it. Turn up, be decent, and have fun!

What Makes XES Different

Voice chat, free filters, group rooms, and in-call games, built for real conversation

Voice-Only by Design

Audio strips away the awkwardness of being on camera and lets you actually talk. No lighting, no filters, no wondering how you look, just your voice and theirs. It's the simplest way to have a real conversation with someone you've never met before.

Bringing the World Together

Real conversations with people from different countries and cultures open up the world in a way nothing else can. Every chat on XES is a chance to hear an unfamiliar perspective, learn how someone else thinks, lives, and laughs, and discover that we have far more in common than we're often told. By meeting strangers from around the globe, we build understanding, break down stereotypes, and quietly make the world a little smaller and a lot friendlier.

Accessible & Pressure-Free

There's no camera, no appearance to manage, and nothing to set up. That makes XES comfortable for visually impaired users, people who deal with social anxiety, or anyone who'd rather talk than be looked at. Everyone joins on the same terms.

Natural Language Practice

If you're learning a language, talking to real people beats any app. Use the country filter to find native speakers, drop into a one-on-one call or a small group room, and practise the language the way it's actually spoken, pace, slang, accents and all.

Games You Actually Play Together

Eight in-call games run live over the call — Chess, Backgammon, Battleships, Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman, Pac-Man, Tron, and a collaborative music jam. Break the ice with a quick round, or settle in for a long match while you talk. A much better fallback than running out of things to say.

Reliable & Secure Experience

Your audio goes straight from your browser to the other person's, it doesn't sit on our servers, get transcribed, or get fed through any AI. We can't listen in because there's nothing here to listen to. No ads, no data resold, no nonsense.

Why Should I Use XES?

  • Free Filters, No Paywall: Most random-chat sites lock the good filters, gender especially, behind a subscription. Here every filter is free for everyone: gender, country, language, interests. No premium tier, no upsells, no nag screens.
  • Safe Voice-Only Environment: 1:1 random matches are voice-first and camera-free — no creepy webcam moments, and none of the stuff that turns other random-chat sites into a minefield. Group rooms are opt-in: you decide when (or if) video enters the picture.
  • Community-Moderated by You: After every call you can give a quick thumbs up, thumbs down, or block. No algorithm picking favourites — the people you talk to decide who keeps showing up in the queue. Good chat rises, bad behaviour quietly drops out.
  • Ideal for Introverts & Visually Impaired Users: Without appearance in the mix, everyone joins on the same terms. XES works equally well for blind users, introverts, and anyone who finds being on camera exhausting after a long day.
  • Learn Languages & Communicate Better: Filter by country, hit start, and you're talking to a native speaker within seconds. Group rooms also let you sit in on a multi-way conversation, great for picking up rhythm, slang, and the way people actually speak.
  • A Truly Global Community: Whoever's awake when you log in, late night in Tokyo, lunchtime in São Paulo, there's almost always someone interesting on the other end. Leave the filters open to see who you get, or narrow it down to the country you're curious about.
  • More Than Just Random Calls: There's more here than one-on-one calls. Group rooms hold up to eight people. Eight in-call games — Chess, Backgammon, Battleships, Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman, Pac-Man, Tron, and a collaborative music jam — give you something to do once you've clicked with someone. Add them as a friend, DM them later, or call them back from your history.
