While in range, the Arctis 9X sounded great. Once paired, it also acts like a controller by turning on your Xbox when powering on the Arctis 9X. I was able to easily connect the Arctis 9X to my Xbox the same way I would a controller.
Getting up and running with Xbox wireless connectivity is faily easy. I do wish the volume and chatmix dials had a bit more resistance, they’re very easy to adjust and can be easily bumped when looking for another button or re-adjusting the headset. It’s not too heavy to feel cumbersome or too light to feel cheap. The Arctis 9X feels good in hand and on your ears. This dial has a notch that lets you know when you’ve hit 50% – a very nice reference to help set your sound. On the left ear cup is the dial to adjust the chat mix. Here you can power on the headset, begin pairing, control bluetooth functions, mute the microphone and adjust volume. The right ear cup houses most of the controls. Meanwhile, the ear cushions are soft and fit very well over my ears. It appears that maybe it could be swapped out with one from another model. I think it makes it look cheaper than it actually is. The only thing I don’t care for is the interesting green pattern on the strap.
The entire Arctis line shares a very similar design. Overall I’m quite fond of the design – it’s simple and mostly blacked out. At the same time, you can connect via Bluetooth to your mobile device or PC to chat, listen to music, answer phone calls or whatever you like while gaming. They worked with Microsoft to develop a headset that effortlessly, and reliably, connects to the Xbox via Xbox Wireless. Adding to the SteelSeries’ pedigree, the Arctis 9X delivers something new to its lineup. From the entry level $70 Arctis 3 to the top of the line $330 Arctis Pro Wireless, SteelSeries has something to fit most gaming needs. The Arctis line of headsets from SteelSeries has earned many accolades with its various models.
