The SteelSeries Arctis 9X is genuinely an awesome headset for Xbox One. It has great sound and build quality, with good looks to boot. PC gamers might want to look elsewhere, though.

Sound quality; Robust build quality; Nice aesthetics

Windows 10 support isn't ideal; Green accents on the headband may be divisive

If you're primarily a PC gamer, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless and the Astro Gaming A50 remain two of the best wireless headsets out there, respectively offering a double-battery base station and a useful charging cradle, along with excellent audio playback and recording out of the box.

Balanced, clear audio; Excellent microphone; Bluetooth connectivity that works alongside Xbox connection for dual audio; Comfortable design

SteelSeries pretty much dominates the gaming headset market. Other companies, like HyperX , truly offer some awesome products, but with SteelSeries' lineup as comprehensive across all price ranges as it is, it's hard to imagine buying a non-SteelSeries headset for all but a few niche situations.

Bluetooth headsets are oftentimes a mixed bag. Used between varied consoles, gaming rigs and other devices can be a recipe for disaster, as you contend with potential interference and other challenges when trying to find the perfect sweet spot for your gaming experience.

Slick and attractive design; Excellent audio that's easy to customise; Works seamlessly across Xbox One and PC; One of the most comfortable headsets out there

Design's reliance on plastic can be a distraction

The SteelSeries Arctis 9X is expensive, but it justifies its cost with premium build quality, supreme comfort, and outstanding sound quality. Its microphone is merely average, but it connects easily and consistently and it has Bluetooth, making it super versatile too.

Headset is very comfortable, has great sound but my first pair just stopped working, they were stuck on the on position but they were off at the same time. Could not get to reconnect them to the Xbox so I got a second pair and so far so good, hope they don't do the same thing again.

The Arctis 9X is an excellent gaming headset that works well with both Xbox One and PC, using the platforms to its advantage to deliver a clear, concise and satisfying audio product. It costs a pretty penny, but it's almost certainly worth it.

The Arctis Pro Wireless from SteelSeries impressed us with its excellent design, audio quality, and feature set. If you want an excellent wireless headset for your PC or PlayStation 4, it's still one we can easily recommend. If you primarily game on your Xbox One, however, you can't use the Arctis Pro Wireless. That's why SteelSeries made the Arctis 9X, an Xbox One-specific wireless gaming headset that looks, feels, and sounds a lot like the Arctis Pro Wireless, but without the base station. It connects directly to your Xbox One over Microsoft's Xbox Wireless standard, and can connect to your phone or PC over Bluetooth at the same time. At $199.99 it's much less expensive than the Arctis Pro Wireless while delivering a similar experience, and so it earns our Editors' Choice for Xbox One gaming headsets.

The SteelSeries Arctis 9X is one of the best wireless gaming headsets you can get for the Xbox One.

I bought this headset because I was getting annoyed of being caught on wires all the time. The mic sounds clear and high quality same with the sound. There are 4 different sound settings so you can change them depending on what you're playing/watching. The only bad thing I've encountered with this headset after having it for a long while is that the power button isn't very responsive and you sometimes have to re-press it to turn the headset on. Overall, a very good headset with very good battery life.
