SteelSeries Arctis 9X

Admittedly, the SteelSeries Arctis 9X doesn’t quite match the Astro A50 below in terms of pure sound quality, but it does have one game-changing feature: Bluetooth support. This headset allows you to simultaneously combine a signal from your Xbox One and a Bluetooth gadget be it your phone or PC, allowing you to take calls while gaming on your Xbox.

This is a nice choice for those who want to be able to use their headset on several platforms. It is worth repeating that for lots of gamers the connectivity features are more important than the pure sound quality. This headset may not be the best in terms of sound quality but it is more than adequate, especially in this price range.

The Steelseries Arctis 9X combines all the necessary features you need for a gaming headset: quality, comfort, and support from its manufacturer. It does support the native 3D spatial audio included on the Xbox Series X.

The Bottom Line

The SteelSeries Arctis 9X has solid build quality even surpassing headsets that are much expensive. While other headsets chase the best audio while sacrificing something else, the Arctic 9X has everything else without sacrificing much sound quality.
