Xbox Wireless Headset (vs SteelSeries Arctis 9X) Review | Upgrade or Downgrade?

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I stated the Xbox headset doesn't support simultaneous bluetooth, but IT DOES! Only challenge has been that when I connect my phone while playing, the chat mix dial doesn't function. Nonetheless...this makes this just about an Arctis 9x killer!

Great honest review!

[@samsinger5135]

i just bought the arctis 9x a few months ago and i totally love them... i bought these becuse i wanted a better headset for my laptop and to listen to me gaming in quiet. i truely hope steel series will continue supporting these and with the better mic and sound quality is a definit win.

I bought the microsoft 1's monday, by saturday i replaced them with steel series 9x and love them. So much of a better build, hard to find a good headset but wow, like hot n cold

Great video!

I’ve had two pairs of steel series arctic 9x die on me. First pair broke exactly the way yours did. Second pair won’t charge due to a problem with the micro USB port.

[@lbs]

Yes! Makes it tough for me to spend the cash on a new pair…but I do miss them and it might be good to learn and share thoughts with you all.

The xbox ones are ok just the ear cups wear out and come off

[@lbs]

I haven’t had this happen yet. How long have you had yours?

[@kufudokungfu]

Those arctis are super expensive

[@lbs]

The wired versions might be a good option as well
