What customers say
Customers frequently praise the Arctis 9X for its exceptional comfort, often highlighting the ski goggle headband and breathable earcups that allow for extended gaming sessions without discomfort. The sound quality receives strong positive remarks, delivering immersive audio. However, a recurring theme involves the wireless connectivity, with some users experiencing occasional drops or pairing challenges, particularly with Xbox. Despite these connectivity nuances, many find the overall package compelling for its audio performance and ergonomic design.
Know before you buy
Yes. The headset supports simultaneous wireless connections, allowing you to listen to game audio via Xbox Wireless while taking calls or listening to music over Bluetooth.
The Arctis 9X is compatible with PC, though you may need an Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows to achieve a seamless connection similar to the Xbox console experience.
You can get up to 20 hours of wireless battery life, which is sufficient for several long gaming sessions before needing to recharge.
The ClearCast microphone is retractable, meaning it slides directly into the ear cup when not in use, keeping it out of the way during solo play.
The headset features AirWeave ear cushions designed to stay cool and dry, paired with a ski-goggle suspension headband that distributes weight evenly to reduce pressure.
The ChatMix dial allows you to adjust the balance between your game audio and voice chat volume on the fly without needing to navigate through console menus.
