Arctis 9X Review - Take your Xbox to the next level

With its large padded ear cushions and adjustable head strap, I found the 9X to be very comfortable. I had no issues keeping the headset on for long g...

Then use the headset's Bluetooth function to connect to your Switch's Bluetooth adapter. You'll have audio from both sources in the same headset. I know you can also achieve this result with a 3.5mm cable and some tweaked windows settings, but that method doesn't seem to work for everyone and I find this method more seamless and more, well...wireless. It's easy to balance Switch/PC audio.

Hands-on: SteelSeries Arctis 9 gaming headset brings dual wireless to PC and PS4

SteelSeries also claims this new model has the same 20 hours of battery life (which is a good thing, as it seems to charge slowly)..I never had an issue with the audio or microphone quality on the Arctis 9X

Steelseries Arctis 9x is actually really solid. It's comfortable and it has got great sound and chat mixing, retractable mic with mute button (and light that tells you if you are muted).

SteelSeries Arctis 9X Review

The SteelSeries Arctis 9X is one of the best Xbox One-specific wireless gaming headsets available.

Are there any wireless gaming headsets that actually sound good?

Steelseries Arctis 9X - very well regarded by some people. Sennheiser PXC 550-II Wireless - good set of headphones under 200$.

Three steps forward, one step back

I purchased the SteelSeries Arctis 9X to replace a Razer Chimaera 5.1 that I had been gifted in the XBox 360 days and continued to use with my XBox One for several years. Much of this review will be a comparison with my older Razer Chimaera 5.1. The sound quality of the SteelSeries Arctis 9X was imm...

Wireless gaming headset suggestions

I replaced with Steelseries Arctis 9X. They sound great and can be used on xbox and bluetooth at the same time. Also has 3.5mm analog cable which was handy on planes and when my switch didn't support bluetooth.

Great Sound But Can't Recommend

I've owned the Arctis 9X headset for about 4 months. Recently, the right speaker started cutting in and out. Then finally it completely stopped working. After I bit of troubleshooting, I am fairly certain that the solder connection on the PBC from the master volume knob to the right speaker had fail...

What is the best headset. I know nothing about xbox- want to buy a Birthday gift for husband.

I have a turtle beach elite pro headset for Xbox and I love it. I tried to go wireless and had issues with the turtle beach stealth 600 and the SteelSeries - Arctis 9X having a clear connection so I would stay away from wireless.
