Review: Review for Arctis 9X - Disclaimer: I don't like gaming headsets. I own several pairs of superb headphones for music, and reference - and every time I don a set of "gaming" headphones they tend to feel like a toy - that said, I felt these warrant a review. The build quality on the Arctis 9X are great - the sound quality is also very nice, but at this price point - you expect that. Different pre-sets subtly change the sound from more natural, through to some that are more bassy which are good for movies - but on the whole, they don't have any gimmicky features like my old turtle beach set, which branded "saturated midtones that make my ears bleed, as a trade off for hearing footsteps louder" as "Superhuman hearing" or something similar. Connectivity: On my Xbox One X - I don't think these have ever dropped out other than one time I forgot to charge them. Whilst my One. was being repaired, I temporarily re-used my old regular Xbox one. I noticed a fair few dropouts, needing me to turn the headset off and on again. - This was an issue I had read in some reviews after buying the headset, and I was concerned - I was never able to recreate the issue until I used an OG Xbox One, so in my personal experience. Perfect on the OneX - frustrating on a standard Xbox One. Volume: 10/10 They are not deafeningly loud, (except in COD - which has the worst sound mix of a game ever.) but they definitely dont suffer with being too quiet. If they don't go loud enough for you, then you've probably already done some damage to your hearing. Sound Quality: 8/10 Comparing them to a set of high end reference headphones is unfair, they don't reproduce a huge wide soundstage, with intricate highs mids and lows, however... after burn in - ive found that they perform better than most closed back headphones I own, the mids are far clearer on these for example, than on HD25s, HD280Pros, or aiaiai DJ headphones. Overall - I was surprised at how good these sound. Comfort: 10/10 Aside from a pair of AKG702s i own - which is like wearing a pair of pillows on your head - these are the most comfortable headphones I own. I can play games in them for hours on end, and then settle into a movie before taking them off. Being over ear they are comfortable as they dont put pressure on you, the elasticated headband makes a clever snug fit to your head, without being tight - and they are heavy enough that you trust them not to fall apart, but not so heavy that they induce fatigue. Sound isolation: 8/10 No complaints here, the isolation is really good, so if someone is sleeping next to you, and you are watching tv - you probably wont disturb them unless you have it cranked right up, or take them off to break the seal to your head. Battery Life: 10/10 Incredibly long battery life. Since covid kicked in and we've all been working from home, ive had these on all day every day almost - as they pair to your phone to be a bluetooth headset too. There is an indicator light that changes colour depending on how much battery you have left. Connectivity: 9/10 Being able to play games and listen to music off your phone, or take phone calls whilst gaming is almost seamless (with 1 caveat ill address in the downsides). Microphone: 10/10 I've had several people join parties and query what mic I have because its so clear, they assume im using a dedicated mic like streamers use. It's also very easy to mute the mic with the button just behind your right ear, and the mic has a light on it so you can see in your peripheral vision if you are muted. Price: 6/10 I paid £130ish for these on desertcart in the sale. There are better "headphones" available for that pricerange, but in terms of gaming headsets, I dont know. they are feature rich, with a long battery life, and great reliability, but for £190 that they are currnetly listed at, Id rather they were more than just a gaming headset, which they could have done with some aesthetic changes - which would have pushed this score up to a 9 or 10. Ergonomics: 7/10 On either headset cup at the back,there is a jogwheel, the left one changes chat+game mix (very useful when your super loud friend crashes the party) and the overall volume on the right one. The chat mix also has a marker point for the mix at 50:50 that you can feel without looking. The power button is convex, and the bluetooth/answer call buttons is convex. Without looking, you can easily feel exactly what is what. In principle - everything about the design is perfect.. Until you lean back against the sofa/pillow, and the jogwheel catches the seat/pillow behind you, and either turns the sound off, or cranks the volume to the max. Placing these controls under the earpieces, or on top of them instead of at the back would have made them perfect. Aesthetics: 6/10 They nearly got this perfect, the earcups are minimally styled, and the matte black looks sleek - however they have a truly gharish green pattern to the headbands that makes them look a bit childish. It is also a real shame that the microphone doesnt sit flush when it retracts into the headset. This would be the difference between them being a set of headphones that never leave the house, and being a set of headphones that never leave my side... I just dont want to be on the tube in a set of headphones with a boom mic, and a gharish pattern on the headband. Charging: 7/10 The problem I have with the charging isnt that it takes long, they seem to charge really fast! The issue is that if you are using them and put them on charge without turning them off, I dont really understand what they do.. but it doesnt seem to charge. Ive found that once i finish using them I either have to turn them off, then plug them in, or plug them in, and immediately remove the charger, and plug them in again. This could be by design so that when you first plug a usb in it works to connect to a PC or something, but it does mean that occasionally if you forget, you can plug your headset in - but it doesnt charge. Once you realise you need to see the slow pulsing light to know its charging, then you'll probably be ok. Overall: 9/10 My first headset from this company, due to the build quality I cant see myself replaceing them any time soon, and if in the same position again I wouldnt hesitate to get these. If you are looking for a great gaming headset thats comfortable to wear, these are my shout. If you want a set that doubles up as something you would use as wireless headphones out and about - the non-detachable/hidden mic might put you off, as it did me. If you are less vain than I am, then youll have a nice sounding set of headphones for your travels too. :)
Review: Genuine wireless connectivity for XBox One and upcoming Series X - I had a set of Astro A50's connected to my XBox One via optical audio, then it was announced that the XBox Series X would not have a optical audio port, requiring a bit of a rethink on my part. I've tried several different manufacturers/models and for me, this is the best combination of price, features and general quality out there. Unlike several competitors, these are the only XBox certified wireless I've found that work seamlessly with both the Xbox One and X Box Series X (obviously on that last one I'm taking SteelSeries and XBox word for it, as today is Halloween, and I've got 10 days to wait for shiny new Series X, though you tubers vids look promising). Many that claim to be wireless still require you to run a 3.5mm cable to your controller for mic usage in games, this model does not - it pairs to the Xbox in exactly the same way as your controller - press button on headset, press 'pair' button on front of X console, 'et voila!' (you even receive an official message on screen at this point ' 'headset assigned'). Further features - - Discord certified mic (very clear) - Dolby Atmos (just download the XBox Dolby Atmos app and set up for brilliant sound) - Allows Bluetooth connection, so you can listen to music / take phone calls at the same time as a gaming session) - 'Ski Goggle' style headband, which I've found very comfortable in long gaming sessions - Windows PC can be connected by purchasing a XBox wireless adaptor for your PC (similar to that used to connect an XBox controller to a W10 PC) All in all, I highly recommend this product! - Happy gaming

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most honest review - Totally worth it - Only 2 flaws worth mentioning
*by T***N on 25 September 2021*

Brilliant headset, so comfy on your head and doesnt give you sore ears like some headsets after prolonged use. The mic pulls out of the cup sort of like a wheel based mechanism which is just so cool. And the mic glows red when muted so you are aware, which is also pretty cool The sound is that sharp I have had a few hacking accusations due to hearing one faint footstep, suddenly turning round and chasing the kill (honest!) Worth it. The only 2 complaints I have however - The main one is if there is too much wifi interference your headset will keep connecting and disconnecting which is really frustrating. Example being visiting my parents and my room has the house CCTV in, as well as my xbox, the headset kept periodically disconnecting due to all the wifi interference. No issue in my living room however. So not ideal if there is a lot of that or if you have a box room 2nd the volume wheels are located on the back of the headset. If you are leaning back and playing the wheel will move which can result in a nasty loud (or quiet) shock, having to re adjust the wheel mid game is also not ideal. However after a few adaptations no problems whatsoever. Fantastic headphones for sound and comfort. Totally recommend them from a gamer myself. The bluetooth feature is also.cool as you can hook.your.phone up simultaneously and play music or take a phone call. But yeah I'm happy
