Bluetooth compatibility is useful for people who don't have discord on their console. So they use phone to connect them to the discord and then play game audio trough the 2.4ghz wireless. One of my mates literally bought these just to have that instead of using 2 seperate headsets. Top quality product!
The thing that sold me on the Arctis 7 was that ability to switch instantaneously from computer speakers to the headset with a single button press. Huge quality of life improvement and I can't believe no one else has figured it out, as far as I know.
If you got a problem with your Steelseries headset (or any headset) being too tight, I suggest stacking some book (or something similar) on the edge of your desk to about the width of your head, and just leave your headset there. This worked for me with my Arctis Pro Wireless, and so far there’s no issues. Nothing broke, but if you’re trying this, be careful.
@@rupansunderapandyan2810 The Pro Wireless. This is a feature stripped version of that - so if you look at the Pro Wireless and don't see anything you want save yourself the $130.
Just got my pair of these in the mail today. Awesome headset. I would definitely recommend it. Before buying it I read a lot of reviews on the 9x regarding connectivity issues and that simply was not a problem for me, at least it hasn't been yet. I have used them for around 12 consecutive hours straight out of the box. Sound quality is great, mind you, I was using Astro a10s before this. Range is superb. If you have any questions for me on the headset that wasn't covered in this video feel free to ask.
The 9X sometimes has connectivity issues because it's forced to use Microsoft's wireless tech. The other Arctis headsets use Steelseries wireless instead, which is streets ahead.
@@Affectinq- The Arctis 9 has 2.4ghz + Bluetooth. The 2.4ghz is lossless low-latency for PC/PS using a transmitter. Bluetooth is for mobile devices. You can connect the 9 via wire, but you can't use the mic that way. The Arctis 9 charges via micro USB.
Still using my Steelseries Arcis 3 which I bought (for 80 bucks!) in 2017 and it’s still outperforming and outshining most of my friend’s mics today in 2020. Just an excellent product overall.
2:40 regarding to your comment, I do like the bluetooth in tandem with the 2.4GHz wireless transmitter. I use my PC for work however I do sometimes need to use my Mac to do conference call and that is very handy to have both on. Yes, overkill but useful 3:35 I use a hotkey to switch between speakers and headphone. It's instant instead of fumble for the power button on the headphone; but yes, it's a very neat feature of the transmitter. I do have the Xbox transmitter and rather double up its usefulness by connect the transmitter with my Xbox controller
Hi. How's the mic quality for conference calls? Is it decent? Watched tons of youtube mic tests of the Arctis and they all sound like radio. How's' your experience with it? Is it good enough for online meetings? Thanks!
I mostly use mine with one ear off while I'm driving a truck for calls. It does an excellent job cancelling wind noise, and a DD13 engine. When I was driving an International with a Cummins X15 I was still easy to hear, but some engine noise was audible. My biggest complaint is how long it takes to turn on. Hold for power, then hold for bluetooth. when answering the phone, it's a faff indeed.
That IS the reason I bought them. Being able to listen to music whilst playing something like Dark Souls, which has no music pretty much, is excellent.
No they aren't. The 7 series sounds worse than my hyperx cloud 2s which I got 4 years prior. The response is poor at the top end and needs extensive eq tweaking to make them listenable
@@willsoe agree i used sennheiser headset for 4 years and they sound the best even though i have the 5 and it sound good i do prefer the sennheiser than steelseries but yet i still use the arctis 5 you must tweaked the eq to make the audio good
Nice review. I've actually been looking closely at steel series headsets for an upgrade over my 7 year old headset.. can't decide between this and the arctis pro. I might spring for this one because of your review.
If you’re on a budget get these. If you want Bluetooth you’ll have to get the best model of the Arctis pro which is around 300. Steelseries says the audio range on the pros is better but it’s really not, just stupid marketing. The pros also have the hinge connecting the band to the cups full metal. I’m not sure if the Arctis 9 has this but the Arctis 7 has plastic and they can easily break or get flimsy from this part.
@@bentstick6494 yeah upon further inspection I found some of the things you're talking about to be true, but I also saw that the arctis pro wireless has a plastic earcup breaking problem.. I'm not on a budget, saving money is always good, but I think I'll try my luck with the pro wireless. Thanks man.
on console its nice to switch of the game music for a longer grind session and just use your cellphone for a podcast or spotify. plus you can answer call. Its a useful feature;)
Yeah, don't think I'll be winning prize money either. I have had my Arctis 9 and Aerox 3 for about a week and I really like SteelSeries products so far. Thanks for the review. I think you nailed the caveats.
I know this review is really old, but what it helps with is playing music while streaming and not getting striked. Just let your viewers listen to their own music at their own volume and you can just play the game
@@derekcoxii2771 Bluetooth is honestly good if you fiddle with the Steelseries engine. I use it for gaming as well and i didn't notice any lag. Obviously it will be more consistent and hi res while wired but so far so good. I really like the dual source audio so i can use discord on my phone and have the game audio simultaneously on my laptop, its a feature i saw only at Steelseries though. If you have the money definitely go for the arctis 9 its just superior in every way.
I regularly listen to music & sit in party chats with friends, while playing games, it's pretty much the only way I can play & be comfortable, which is Ironic because I'm pretty sure I've got ADHD/ADD. Having music & being able to listen to my friends while playing a game, helps me focus better on the game. I am part of the cacophonic demographic.
Do you have any idea how these are with ps4? Connectivity wise? I heard some people having difficulty, saying these aren't for playstation? What's your thoughts bud? Great video btw!😊
@Eren you shouldn't take my words by 100% since I haven't actually tried them, but from what even Steelseries themselves say they use the same technology and I don't think there is a difference in sound. The bass is definetly not better according to people that have tried em.
Dope! I’ve been eyeing SteelSeries for the past 2 years, but I’ve held off because I knew the next gen consoles were coming. Now, I’ll cop an Arctis headset for the XSX and either an Arctis headset or a Pulse 3D Wireless headset for the PS5. Great review!
I thought I was the only person in existence still using the PLYR 1 headset lol. Originally got them for my xbox 360 on the day they were release and they haven't failed me yet, except for the ripped ear cups and foam contacting my ears and making them warm. Just picked up a Sennheiser RS 185 but the sound profile isn't that much different from the PLYR 1. Now considering getting the Arctis Pro.
Just to help with some of the comments. They aren’t a replacement for the wireless pro they are an upgrade from the 7s etc. I have the wireless pro. The price is largely for convenience. Music through the wireless pro is very average, dreadful mushy middles but obviously they are for games predominantly. Games sound good but I’m sure that the lower models would be just as good for games. If you use a mic as well then the mic is fairly decent and as good as you can get really on a games headset. I’m certainly not blown away by the sound of the earphones or mic but definitely love the convenience and pay the price for that. I guess on the whole it’s the best compromise. The pro let’s you set and save custom eq so that can be useful for different games. The box is simple to use, nice display, you don’t need to go near any software for PS4 to set all you need. 5 minute set up and then simply works so it’s very convenient and connection is solid. Battery swap out is wonderfully quick and easy and worth getting the pros alone for.
Sorry for my English but I think most will understand;). Bought them and returned in 3 days. The materials and workmanship are of high quality but much of it is overrated. We can get this sound with something cheaper (Sennheiser, Turtle Beach, Razer, Sony) headphones. Max volume is up to 20% weaker than on other headphones of the same rank .98 db is not enough for wireless headphones !!! I used a microphone on the PS4 PRO and it turned out to be bad, I mean just like I said - bad. The USB receiver has a large LED indication that blinks constantly, even when everything is off. I don't understand this part, when this room is in the dark is a big irritating thing transmitter and has no role, you still have to physically move it from PC to PS4. They have a blue tooth but they are not for the outside, extensible material that sits on the head so that the whole headphones move and are not stable. The main ad is a compatible PS4 but like many other handsets in rank do the same - “chatmix” volume does not work. I think that the creation of such a great hjpe deserves high marks of these headphones, again marketing has done the biggest job.
WATERMELONE202 Every aspect of it is amazing if you use it on xbox(haven’t tried PC), except the room for your ears is a bit too shallow for comfort so it really hurts the ears after using it for an hour or two(constant use). 7/10 on the comfort, 9/10 audio, 9/10 overall as a gaming headset. In my opinion of course.
That game/voice volume control!!!! It's the only reason I've been hangin onto my Astro A50s for so long, the battery lasts like a couple hours now, on it's last leg. I already bought the 9's today to make the switch because I find them so comfy.
What type of headrest is that? Are these strap like headrests really comfortable? I've tried 4 different headphones in the past year and all 4 have been uncomfortable on the top of my head because of the headrest. Even if it has a lot of cushion it still doesn't help. So far I've tried the following; ATH-PG1, Hyperx Cloud Mix, Hyperx cloud flight, and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. These were in order and also in order of least comfortable to the most. I've never tried one with a strap as a headrest like this headset. Not even sure how to categorise them.
Yes. All headsets have 3d audio. Obviously it will sound better on headphones like this than some £1 headphones but yeah all headphones can use 3d audio.
Please tell me there is an easy fix for this lol,I get an bad echo when gaming or watching movies,if I pull the left wheel all the way down it goes away,please help
Is there a removable battery? Is there an arctis pro v2 coming? Can I have these hooked up to ps5 and PC same time and just flick a switch to change what platform I'm using them on like the Astro A50s?
Damn it another pair of SS headsets I have to purchase. The ARCTIS 1, ARCTIS Pro Wireless and ARCTIS+ Gamedac are all excellent. With the PS5 dropping optical support, the ARCTIS Pro Wireless may no longer work. So the ARCTIS 9 comes at a perfect time.
I'm looking for a headset that works wirelessly where possible, but can also accept an analog input for audio and mic to use with xbox or ps4 controllers. This doesn't sound like it's it.
i think the bluetooth connection is so, if ur gaming and get a phone call. U can answear while using the headset and it lower down the volume of the game, atleast it did that with the artic pro :)
According to The Technie rewiev you can turn off the dts 2.0 virtual surround in the software. He even shows it, kinda deal breaker when you say it can't be turned off. I guess software was updated?
@@androidwharf3116 hey could you help me out with this audio stuff? I have a HyperX Cloud Alpha headset and a microphone but what are the other things you mentioned?
@@madmonster4283 Huh, are you sure you're talking about an Arctis 9, and not a 9X? The 9X doesn't include a transmitter for obvious reasons but I would be very confused if the 9 didn't come with one.
How do you charge it? There’s nothing about that. The attics pro has a battery you can swap out in the hub which is what makes the headset far superior to other headsets
You charge them over micro USB. The Arctis Pro has just 10h of battery life, so you need to swap batteries. The Arctis 9 has 20 hours, so you can charge them while you sleep.
can definitely relate with the thing where it messes up input output when using other headsets and you turn them on of off, especially with discord input output smh
So I'm looking for a new 3D audio headset for the Xbox Series X. I've been looks at the 1. Arctis 9X, 2. LucisSound LS35X and 3. Razer Nari Ultimate. What do you think and what are your impressions of each?

I Just bought the arctis 7 and am thinking of returning it because of the awful mic quality... I'm looking Forward to a better mic on the arctis 9!
.oxadedzn if you can return you should, they don't have a bad mic this one is just alot better
If you play on PC you need to change the Windows Settings.. the Mic is pretty good actually
.oxadedzn dude its the same
Going to check this out
My artic 9 only works on Bluetooth, cant connect to ps4 or pc by the usb..
Is this really worth it for ps5? Id rather wait the pulse 3d headsets. It seems Those will give the whole audio experience at its maximum.
Iv ordered them, I had the Sony gold headset that broke after less than a year, won't be buying a Sony ps headset again
Damn it another pair of SS headsets I have to purchase.
The ARCTIS 1, ARCTIS Pro Wireless and ARCTIS+ Gamedac are all excellent.
With the PS5 dropping optical support, the ARCTIS Pro Wireless may no longer work.
So the ARCTIS 9 comes at a perfect time.
I'm looking for a headset that works wirelessly where possible, but can also accept an analog input for audio and mic to use with xbox or ps4 controllers. This doesn't sound like it's it.
These or the Arctic 7?
these
i think the bluetooth connection is so, if ur gaming and get a phone call. U can answear while using the headset and it lower down the volume of the game, atleast it did that with the artic pro :)
They even double as great earmuffs 😉✌😆
"pros have won more money with SteelSeries than any other brand"
Me, a Dota player: nice work OG
Lmao its all bcs of the 2 times Ti winner
Have you tried the surround sound with a movie?
Not sure what the softest volume is on these, they sound great but I don’t wanna go deaf
According to The Technie rewiev you can turn off the dts 2.0 virtual surround in the software.
He even shows it, kinda deal breaker when you say it can't be turned off. I guess software was updated?
When you put the microphone back in the headset does it mute it?
I don't think so, there's a button for that
so you can use ps5 sound and pc sound in the same time ?!
just get headphones and an amp with a mic you'll never go back
It's so big difference? I'm not sure I wanted buy a DT 990 and and dac/amp but the wireless option look promising or are the loss of detail so strong?
@@zoddytech4204 I'd say it's a game changer currently using the 990s best purchase i ever made
Wireless tho innit
@@androidwharf3116 hey could you help me out with this audio stuff? I have a HyperX Cloud Alpha headset and a microphone but what are the other things you mentioned?
Yaaas 🍜
Cloud flight s is an honorable mention
Yep, the headsets are very similar, but the Arctis 9 has more conventient controls.
These are by far the best wireless Xbox headphones
Well these aren't the ones meant for xbox..
I have the Artic 1 wireless for xbox n switch
Excellent headset
Good review! Sadly you forgot to talk about the battery & how its recharged (2nd battery swap or charging cable)?
Was that legit audio coming from the microphone then because that was shite
Is there a USB-Wireless Connector for your PC, so you can use the Headset without bluetooth featured on your Mainboard?
Yes, there's a 2.4ghz USB transmitter in the box. The headset's Bluetooth is only meant to connect your mobile device, not your PC/PS.
Alright😃Thank you very much👌
I would like to say that is true but the box I just got did not have any such thing in it.
@@madmonster4283 Huh, are you sure you're talking about an Arctis 9, and not a 9X? The 9X doesn't include a transmitter for obvious reasons but I would be very confused if the 9 didn't come with one.
@@t0b0 now that I look I thought they did come with one damn that's what I wanted too.
How do you charge it? There’s nothing about that. The attics pro has a battery you can swap out in the hub which is what makes the headset far superior to other headsets
You charge them over micro USB.
The Arctis Pro has just 10h of battery life, so you need to swap batteries. The Arctis 9 has 20 hours, so you can charge them while you sleep.
can definitely relate with the thing where it messes up input output when using other headsets and you turn them on of off, especially with discord input output smh
So I'm looking for a new 3D audio headset for the Xbox Series X. I've been looks at the 1. Arctis 9X, 2. LucisSound LS35X and 3. Razer Nari Ultimate. What do you think and what are your impressions of each?
the new penrose Coming or look badass
would you recommend this headphone over corsair virtuoso rgb wireless?
If i wanna stream while playing and listening to music and also talk with friends on discord, does it work?
fukin hell dude, that s one of a hard question ova ther
