    Soo many poor reviews of this for people who want to review a damn sound device, they barely talk about the sound itself, especially the EQ settings. All these reviews do is give you generic mumbo jumbo that can be applied to anything. Talk about the damn eq, talk about the differences between them more in depth, talk about the changes you can apply, custome modes and their effect and impact. This is what should be reviewed. Not what the damn device looks like to you. People have eyes they can see this. Rant over

    Only had this headset for a couple weeks and about to buy Astros. Don't be fooled like I was!!!
    Audio:
    If you are used to having a mixamp, this audio won't compare at all! A50's are 7.1, these are Stereo and its annoyingly obvious. No matter how "enhanced" the audio is, you need a mixamp to get a true 5.1 or better.
    If you've had 5.1 or better already, you won't be able to use this headset. I was so excited for this headset because of reviews like this.
    Connectivity: Started cutting out the 2nd day of using them.
    Guys just really trying to warn you. Lots of reviews like this out there!

    Bought these last night, they come fully charged. Went 201-44 on BLOPS4 and the hearing was so much better. I read some reviews....change your audio output to Windows Sonic and it's even more amazing. One huge difference was the legitimate determination to figure out how far an enemy is based on footstep loudness.
    HUGE WIN. I used to have A40s...but what I love most, is hitting the bluetooth button and they're already hooked up.

      I've been using Turtle beach stealth xo4 or something of that sort for about 6 years now. My first one I bought brand new when I was 16ish for 120$. They lasted 5 years and the only reason they stopped working is because the cord by the 3.5mm jack kept getting caught on everything when I moved. I'm now on my second pair of stealths and bought them used from a good friend for 40$. They're still strong. Either way, I'm buying these Arctis 9xs. These are insane and I hope I'm amazed by them as much as I believe I will be.

    Just got it today, I was using the turtle beach recon 200 before the purchase and I must say I thought they actually felt more comfortable and sounded better than the 9x, I also didn’t feel it got as hot on my ears as it does with the 9x, also I just wasn’t impressed that much with the 9x for the price, the sound just didn’t sounds as thrilling and exciting as the turtle beaches and I just felt like you might as well just not wear them and have the sounds coming out the t.v instead. The only thing I really like is the mic on this and the chat balance between chat and game. I also like that it doesn’t drop out much and that you can turn on the Xbox with the headset.This is all just my opinion, let me know what you think is a better gaming headset as I think I’m still going to have a look about, I want something that has a good mic and chat, plus good sound quality(gaming)

    definitely. I ordered this becasue of its versatility. 3.5mm, bluetooth, and wireless. I actually didn't kow that I needed the xbox dongle for pc. So I bought one as well. which I can say is a lot more compact than the other steelseries dongle (that has cables... which kinda for me defeats the purpose of being wireless when you have cables still). and having a xbox wireless dongle that not only works for the headset but also works for controllers which is good.
    anxiously waiting for my order.
    although fair to mention that you can only pair the bluetooth one device at a time.

    I just bought these a couple of days ago. They are amazingly comfortable, the sound on all presets is also amazing. However.....the wireless connectivity, not so much. Goes in and out every few seconds. I updated the firmware, I've rebooted my xbox, moved any kind of interference even though I'm only 10 feet away from my tv, maybe even less. In going to keep them for a few more days, but if this continues I may need to find an alternative that's not wireless. I don't think this issue is specific to Arctis, because this happens with my Turtle Beach 700'S, but not as often.

    Have you tried the surround sound settings. I'm a Dolby user. I wish Dolby would support the algorithm a little bit better on the console. Dolby Atmos is laughable at best because it's not supported by every game. Maybe a few handfull at best. I just wish they had the Pro Logic 2x software available to chose from. It has a wider sound stage and is really able to pinpoint enemy locations. With Atmos I can't tell if it's working or not kinda like a placebo affect. Can't wait for the EQ software to go live on the console. I think it's a genius idea that shows their commitment to the products quality.

    You charge it by connecting the black wire to the headset and the other end to the Xbox right?
    If instead you put an iPhone charger block at the end of the black charger cord and plug it into the wall, will it charge ok?
    Also can you overcharge it and how do you know when it’s done charging.

    great review, I had purchased the A50's and the 9x to compare and I really liked that sound quality of the 9x. the A50's sounded great as well but I decided to go with 9x's. I used both to watch TV, youtube, Netflix and for me I liked the sound quality of the 9x's. it was a tough decision as they are both great wireless headsets.

I now have astro a50 and the sound quality is like night and day, the astro are louder and more defined, special awareness is far superior.

      Sirius Black it’s been great! Only complaint is about once a play session (usually every 5 hours or so) it has a slight static in the connection. But that never lasts more than 5 min, and it’s very slight. It connects to your Xbox extremely easy. And using your phone Bluetooth while connected to the Xbox still is very easy, and very useful. It’s very comfortable, mic is solid. All around it’s great imo, and I’m not regretting it.

      Do you have anything that lets out a signal that's near/in-between you and the console that it's connected to? Wireless headsets tend to get interference from other signals coming from devices like routers or other Bluetooth signals crossing it's path.
      Either that or it could be a distance problem, although I doubt that since it has a range of about 20 feet.
