I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys gaming on the Xbox One. It makes gaming even more fun.
Top headset!
It's light, sits comfortably on the head. The mic sounds super clear to friends & teammates, so would also be great for streaming.
I tested it against the Astro A50 and Razer Thresher and have to say that the Steelseries 9x is better in every area except the multifunction (operation on Xbox and PC). The function of being connected to the Xbox and the mobile phone at the same time is practical because you can make phone calls (then party/game chat is muted) is super practical in my opinion and you can simply listen to music in good quality while doing so.Pro

- Easy
- Super Soundtracking
- Processing
- Mic is crystal clear
- Dual connection Xbox & mobile phone works great and is practical

Contra

Even after updating the firmware, the headset constantly disconnects and causes the controller to lose connection.

Very good headset for Xbox
The SteelSeries Arctis 9X is a very good Xbox headset, it connects just like a controller, good sound and a good battery life of 20 hours, you can adjust the sound directly on the headset if you want to hear more of the game sound or your friends in voice. A headset that I recommend for all Xbox console owners.

Very bad headset, and even worse customer service from Digitec
The headset was struggling to connect to the Xbox form the very beginning, even though it should be made exactly for this purpose. This got worse and worse and at some point it was really unusable. I sent it back to digitec (shipping at my expenses) asking for a refund, and they forced me to get a repaired or sostitution headset. Fine. I tried again with the second one I received, the connection was a bit better but at some point it just made a strange sound and broke down completely, I tried many things but the headset was completely dead. I again asked for a refund and they told me that I will be forced to go through the repair process 3 times before being able to get a refund!! So basically I will have to pay the shipping costs 4 times, and waste weeks/months, just to finally get what I ordered or get my money back.
This is terrible customer service, I am not sure it is legal from a customer protection law point of view, and anyway they can do it only because they don't have serious competition (e.g. Amazon immediatly gives you the many back if you ask for it!).
I would strongly suggest you not to buy this headset, as it was full of bugs and broke twice.
I would also suggest you to think twice (or at least 3 times LOL) before buying anything on Digitec. If the item works it's fine, but if you have any problem the customer experience is horrible and you will waste money and time.Contra
- Connection to Xbox drops very often
- It broke already twice
- Digitec doesn't want to give me a refund
Alles super
Perfektes Headset, bin rundum glücklich
Pro
- regler gaming/musik
- 2 kanal Bluethooth
- gutes dongle design
