The ability to listen to tutorials on my phone and hear party chat without blasting the video over my mic is the best feature
You don't need to buy a mod mic to use this headset on ps4. The share port can also receive audio. This also powers the headset so if your low on battery just grab a double 3.5 jack and plug it into your controller.
But will the mic work?
@@TheGreenLanternB I believe no
3.5 jack doesn’t charge💀💀
Not gonna lie I actually gasped when it looked like you tried to pull it apart LOL
Thank You
For Your Honesty 🙏🏻
I’m Getting Mines Today
I Wanted A TRUE WIRELESS HEADSET
if you use the dongle the range on these headphones is incredible.
Where do you get the dongle?
@@SPDER_MAN07 Microsoft or Amazon. It’s the Xbox dongle for controllers and headphones.
@@andrewsheidy21 dongle replicates the same communication protocol the Xbox already uses but makes available on pc. Don’t think the dongle would work on an Xbox since it already does that.
I love your content keep up the good work!
Jsyk, I have a six-month old pair of Arctis 9X that have had what could be classed as light use, have been looked after (because they are not cheap), have been paired to just one console, and have never left the room that they sit in. After two weeks of no use, the chat mix control is broken, only plays either ‘game muted’ or ‘chat and game at full volume’ and sound like everyone is talking through tin cans. For no reason. One session worked fine, next session, broken audio. Even after the recommendations for resetting everything, checking other devices, etc. nothing but £5 sound.
SteelSeries have a godawful customer service ticket system, slow responses, and a ‘turn it off and back on again’ troubleshooting approach. I have submitted a ticket again, after no response within the five days that the site states, but I am not holding out hope (go look up SS customer service reviews...)
Bottom line is, this particular headset is the worst I have owned, both in terms of comfort and sound quality, and that’s without talking about that ridiculous price point. A company riding the coattails of esports successes, when it comes to headsets.
Best tech channel ever !!!! Hope you stay safe
I love it because I can listen to music and play COD at the same time while chatting it up: it’s a personal party for the introverted. My favorite headset by far
Do these work for all platforms (ps5 xsx pc)?
A small price to pay for salvation...
So the AUX port does not transmit microphone from the boom mic? It's kind of crazy that you would need to add a second boom mic to a device that already has one. Have you tried it?
Also, have you tried using the splitter with the PlayStation controller? I would expect that you could plug-in to put the Xbox and PlayStation controllers I combining your boom mic and the headset. I was just hoping that the headset go directly into them as well if you didn't want to do wireless.
I have used my Arctics 9x for a year now and will be purchasing another brand. Some of the common issues I encountered were drop connection a lot when loading into a game RDR2 and The Division 2 the most. Also, randomly will not turn on and recently randomly chat will not work, I can't hear party members and they can't hear me but game sounds come through.
Fully sad
Headset sounds good but started falling apart after 3 months of normal use starting with mute button not working correctly and then the right ear cup cracked for no reason. Look at reddit reviews about issues
I thought it was only me 😂
Can you use a spatial audio program on PC with these headphones over Bluetooth? Or will I need the Xbox dongle for spatial? Specifically Atmos or DTS
Bro you did say PS4 also I’m still watching can’t find it on your video
Go to 7:50 he starts talking about it
It is Not compatible with ps4 !!!!!!!!!
@@frankpelsleusden8865 Yep there’s another one for PS4 called artic 9
Hey great video my man! Quick question - is this headset capable of being plugged into the pc through the aux input whilst simultaneously being connected wireless to the xbox? Can you hear your pc and chat and hear gameplay through the headset at the same time. If you or anyone can answer this question, i'd greatly appreciate it!
I want to know the same thing!
Yes it is! I personally use my 9X to talk to friends on Xbox while I connect to my pc through aux and my phone through Bluetooth all at the same time
Or you can connect to PC via Bluetooth and wireless on Xbox no need for aux cable
Can this thing connect to the Xbox controller without any adapters? Let's say the battery dies, can't I just connect the aux right into the controller and it'll work for both audio and chat? Same for a phone?
Where'd you get that yoshi LED thing on your desk??
Great video! Thanks for all the information. I have been deciding for a while what to buy. Still not sure but at least im a step closer!
so glad I got this mic
fantastic review!
Yoshi LED with animation....that's cool! Where from?
I want that thing aswell
Astro a50 better for me
I believe you chan set the auto power off timer on the software app on your computer, also the Arctis 9's are available that can be used for Playstation as well as Xbox due to the usb transmitter.
Can someone help me, my SteelSeries arctic 9x connects to my laptop with Bluetooth and only transmits sound and the mic doesn't work. I brought the Xbox wireless adapter and I tried using it and it doesn't really help ( i don't know if I am using it right) so can someone please help me fix this issue
i had the same issue
does your problem solved? iwant to buy xbox wireless adapter too
@@crypto_qix it did not work using the adapter I do not recommend buying the headset. I ended up returning the headset and getting the steelseries arctis 7 which works amazing on pc and wired on Xbox.
@@agefighter2pro broooo ican't return it they say you can't because of pandemic issues what should i do
@@agefighter2pro your adapter didn't connected or bad quality?
Will it work if i connect the heaphones and xbox controller to xbox wireless adapter?
That headset is really bad with the connection and I’m not the only person that says it, there are loads and loads of complaints about its connection. So if any of you guys buys it be careful and it would be better if you guys look for something else that’s better and cheaper, this headset doesn’t worth the money. Mine looses connection non stop, I have to use it wired and because I use it with a wire I can’t use the microphone. I called and done everything they said, restarted the set, moved the WiFi, and after they said that is the WiFi that interfered with the headset. Don’t take my word for it guys, just look at many other videos and read about the complaints online.
Do u recommend the artis 3 bluetooth or hyperx cloudx I really want to listen to music while gaming and the strap looks comfy but the hyperx looks better built and better sound quality?
lilkumquat Sorry I never tried that headset, I’ve had only cheap ones and the Arcticx 9x until now. Sorry for not being able to help you.
I wonder if it would work with the new PS5
yeah, the steelseries arctis 9 works with the ps5 perfectly! the arctis 9x is made for xbox, and arctis 9 for playstation. i'm getting the arctis pro wireless tho, it's a little bit better. but it's also more expensive
@@miketns2212 I’m wondering if there is a way to use these on the Ps5 since the company SteelSeries came out with a mic that has the same design as this one. It’s called the Steelseries Arctis 9 wireless headset. Maybe all we need to buy is one other part to put into our Ps5. I recently got this headset to use on my Xbox one s while gaming, but now I have the Ps5. 😮😭 I should have gone with the pros! I’ll probably just sell my headset. 😅
Lol when I was watching I got a TH-cam ad about this exact headset
I’m on Xbox and I’ve made different eq presets on the engine app but my problem is when I press the power button in it just beeps once how do I change it
You have to press button after connected, your preset will be the last bleep
@@fuzzylogic33 there is multiple beeps tho
What about switch?
Funnily enough the switch doesn’t have Bluetooth so no
Is this headset worth the price
I have the headset and in my opinion I say yes. Its amazing
Can you play these on ps5 as well?

The 9x does not work on PS5. I have a PS5 and Arctis 9 and you can use this on a PS5
@HotshotTek, where did you buy the blue Yoshi picture? It's adorable 😍
Well, what's the big difference between this headset & the Steel series Arctis 1? It's cross platform & only $100?
the arctis one has a different designed headband and its not wireless... the arctis 1 headband isnt uncomfortable but many people think the 3, 5, 7, and 9x's are more comfortable...
Have they fixed the intermittent connection?
Video is great, but you didn't speak about the pc software to edit and change the 4 EQ preset, you can create your own eq and assign them to 1 of the 4 preset, am I wrong?
this headset can't connect to the ps5 right
you should get the normal version, Arctis 9. it works with ps4 and most likely will work with the ps5 too
Can these be used directly to the controller with USB mini to 3.5 and still allow the mic to work?
Putting a comment here for when someone replies
Its the worst build headset if it comes to the strenght of the earcup that is hold on one plastic end
Can you connect to 2 different PCs at the same time?
i have bluetooth 4.2 that means i need the xbox adapter or am good to??
Now that Steelseries has released the Arctis 7x for $149.99, I feel that would be the new ultimate headset. Works on absolutely everything wirelessly without need to buy an additional mod-mic
I have the steel series arctis 9x for my Xbox series x and turtle beach stealth 700 gen. 2 for my playstation 5. I would love a solution for both systems, not really feeling the mod mic thingy, I need 100% wireless. With 7x do you have pair each time you switch consoles or is it just plug in turn it on and play?
@@david029014 it's automatically p aired to the dongle out of the box. There's a switch on it that you toggle for Xbox or everything else. Super simple and easy to do. Can't believe other manufacturers haven't done something similar
@@david029014 I also have the 9x and love it. The 7x is nearly identical with the exception of no Bluetooth and then the USB-C dongle. Oh and you cannot select different equalizer settings from the headset. You can modify on PC though
@@clawson32104 can you use the USB dongle that comes with the 7x, on the 9x? I’m trying to hook these up to Xbox, PS5, and switch....and y suggestions?
@@irateinc unfortunately you cannot use the 7x dongle on the 9x. If you need a device that works wirelessly with the systems you listed then you would need to purchase either the Arctis 7x or Arctis 1 Wireless Xbox version.
Did anyone have a issue where this headset sounded perfect on XBOX but on PC could not tell where any movements were coming from sounded flat
U fix the issue Brodie ?
I thought they cant Connect to Ps4?
I need help: When I connect my 9x to my nitro 5 laptop, I can hear sounds, but as soon as I open a game or go to vc in discord, the audio is away, also, if I only discord call, my microphone isn't working, what can I do to fix this?
The Mic of my headset is just not showing up, the sound works, but the mic is scuffed for me
shitty arctis 9x ican't refund it becz pandemic issues i think we should use it on pc with xbox wireless adapter for better quality and mic
When I connect to my pc and launch Cold War it sounds so bad. Anyone have a fix for this?
have you downloaded the EQ tuner?
@@jakubbohaty3387
I finally got the audio fixed but now I can’t get my mic to work...
The only really downside of this headphone is that it is still in micro USB instead of type c
In my oppion it’s a better thing...
@@hackxy1165 now I’m curious, what makes you think that?
Pls can somebody reply me? Is this headset sorround 7.1 on xbox one or just on pc??
Better with windows sonic or dolby atmos on xbox?
I use atmos and have stuck with that since
@@8867jrod yes I've come to notice more saturation of sound and accuracy in "bad guy" positioning with dolby atmos
I am bot confused. Are there Arctis 9X released 2019 and another one released in 2020? Bcs according to google 9X was released in 2019
great video quality
I got this headset a year ago first pair had loads of issues kept disconnecting and then would t charge so took them back then second headset same issues loss of connection or they would turn off on their own so got a replacement through warranty they ask you to destroy the headset for this. Now on the 3rd headset just have a few connections isssue now and then and they don’t turn off as much. Great sound quality great mic and fairly comfy
Can I connect it to the ps5?
Would these work on the PS5?
They will but it would be connected via a few cables so not truly wireless for PS consoles. For a bit less you'd be better off getting the Arctis 7P.
i'd get the arctis 9, the 9x is made for xbox. i believe the 9 is a whole lot easier to pair with the ps5 than the 9x.
Why don't my mic work on Nintendo switch sounds great but ppl can't hear my mic ?
Anyone. Does the PC USB wireless dongle work with the PlayStation 4?
No it’s a Microsoft product so I don’t think so, I would recommend the Arctic 9 without the x for ps4
Heard it crack at 6:07 LOL
It's awful because it's so quiet, in the EU we have a volume limiter that we can't turn off. Also they are really uncomfortable. I hate the ear pads because they are really mushy and my ears touch the speakers inside. After a few minutes it starts to hurt. So frustrating.
I hear they crack easily...besides they disconnect from the xbox series x intermittently... And not usb C or bluetooth 5.... For premium price
How was the music quality over Bluetooth on a PC? Does it work well when you're also using a microphone? I have found that when I start using a microphone, it tends to lower the audio quality with other headsets.
don't buy this headset! awful
@@crypto_qix cap
How good is the Xbox adapter with this headset? As I’m moving to pc I wanna know if it’s just as good as it would of been on my Xbox.
Im pretty sure it works as well on the pc with the xbox adapter, but just using bluetooth lowers the quality
was that Obese Giraffe? at 5:09 lol
🌟🌟You can't say is compatible all across gaming headset, but in reality is NOT compatible all platform, because your video showing doing modification add stuff or required buy additional stuff. The meaning fully compatible is can use all platform across gaming entertainment from OUT OF THE BOX without required any extra purchase. FYI plug 3.5 jack to controller is NOT called wireless.
they suck on pc for men sound cutts out on warzone
@HotshotTek: What do you think: is it the best real wireless-headset for smartphones? I am talking about playing COD Mobile and talking to my teammates and friends. Thanks for an answer and awesome video! :-)
How do you connect it to PS4? Mine isn’t working with Bluetooth
these dont work for chatting on pc i tried i used bluetooth and xbox dongle no good i was told i need the regular 9
Can you still get sorrow day sound if you connect through Bluetooth? Thanks
BUT!!!!!! Can you hear yourself talk in the headset. Why can you hear your own voice?
Micro USB 😞
Mine sound like they are glitchy??
If they weren't so fragile at the hinges I'd buy them.
Hi, I recently got the arctis 9 wireless (not 9x). I am having an issue where my iPhone doesn't even detect the headset when I activate bluetooth on the headset. Have you come across the problem? Or anyone else in the comments and know how to solve? thanks
You didn't mention anything about mic monitoring!
hi, can I connect the headphones to my GOxlr mini using the 3.5mm jack and wirelessly to my xbox? does it work like this?
Do these work on iPhone?
I can't talk to my friends on ps4 with them why not?
Can I use this on Pc with Xbox wireless adaptor and bluetooth to my phone on the same time with mic working on Pc?
Rafn yes you can
Neel Raj Can you connect to laptop and phone wirelessly at the same time without the Xbox adapter? Idk of those are built into some computers now since It’s microsoft
Will these work with xbox series x
Yes
Does anybody’s light slow flash white when paired to the xbox? Mine work perfectly but its not in green, yellow or red as its says its should on the manual.
Anyone can help me with mine i tried to connect it to my ps4 using bluetooth and it wont work for me
Where can i find the regular arctis 9?? Besides their website
“This is a mid-price headset.” Words by hotshotek
🧢
I mean I heard a lot of issues with a connectivity and I don't know if I really want to get them right now because I'm also looking into a turtle beaches stealth 700 Gen 2 which I don't know if they're out right now because I was so into looking into getting these headsets but I also want the turtle beaches at the same time because I had Astros for a while
Get turtle beach, everyone says they more comfortable and I feel like they better. Waiting for my 700 gen 2 to come. They instock rn for ps4
@@AlphaDog297 well you don't have the websites right now so you don't actually know especially you didn't even know anything about steelseries arctis 9x I'm just looking for a comparison between those headsets and the Turtle Beach stealth 700 Gen 2 because it seems like those two headsets are the best but there's also other ones out there I just prefer Wireless
I have/had the turtle beach stealth 700’s and I’m highly disappointed.. the comfort is great on the headset, but the game volume messes up and won’t turn all the way up. As much as I try it will not turn up.. it’s super quiet and I hate it. I only use this headset as a Bluetooth headphone. Turtle beaches are known to break on people and I’ve had turtle beaches before the stealth 700’s. All of them break eventually. I get it they’re trying to get better but they advertised the 700’s as the best headset on the market at that time. Which was a lie lol. Horrible horrible headset company if I’m being brutally honest. Also forgot to mention the connectivity is horrible as well. Takes forever just to connect to my Xbox even though I’m literally two feet away from my Xbox 😂
Licensing is not partnering. This headset has major problems:
Sound needs more volume, more bass.
The No Auto Poweroff sucks. You're gonna feel like it's 2005 a LOT.
There are many complaints about how it disconnects, and they are accurate. The fix is: Turn off all Bluetooth items nearby? Are you f#^&ing kidding me??!! For $200???
Arctis clearly spent all their money on licensing.
Mic will have to be RIGHT ON YOUR MOUTH to hear your own voice in your ear (yes, sensitivity is turned up to max, and I got a loud voice)
The customization on the equalizer is utter garbage. If you change anything away from flatline, the volume DROPS, and that's bad.
This review didn't talk enough about the major issues - esp the connectivity one, the dealbreaker - plaguing this headset.
Too many little issues for the money.
That wired audio share is the DUMBEST thing ever they should have just included a fully futioning AUX port for the option to use the headset wired
it is a fully functioning aux port that can ALSO share audio
How the hell do you get the chat too work on xbox, tried all different methods but still people cannot hear me chat.
is the xbox turned on?
you may need to change mic monitoring in the steelseries engine app or in the xbox audio settings
Just got these for my series x but they won't connect to ps4
I didn’t get a mic with it are you meant to?
Can you connect your pc and phone at the same time with both audios playing through the headset
Yes you can
I can’t get mine to connect to my pc. I bought that adpater too
Why i don’t get a good and clear sound quality in warzone? All im hearing is like a radio quality while in game, Im using the same one as yours and connected it to Bluetooth in my pc
He was mistaken about gaming on PC using Bluetooth. You will need the Xbox Wireless adapter to game on PC. The Bluetooth will use the communication device sound output and the audio will be crap.
Okay but how to you connect them to the Xbox
Hi, it’s possible to Work it whit PS5? Mic and audio?
How did you turn of the echo of your voice?
Best headset.. after 1 day im sending them back - pc doesnt detect dongle, immposible to pair with pc.. hiper quality ;p
It only has a big connection problem.
Could that modmic work for the arctis pro so you can chat on xbox?
7:27 The Arctis 9 that I bought came with a black velcro strap
Thats 9x for xbox black and green.
how do u connect two at the same time
