These issues, however, weren’t noticeable on the replacement sample that I tested. There have been various reports of connectivity issues with the 9X on the Xbox Series X|S, and I also encountered some connection interruptions and crackling sounds with the first sample I received from SteelSeries. Still, the number of available EQ presets and additional settings on the 9X will suffice for most users. When it comes to tuning the 9X, its younger relative easily outperforms SteelSeries’ legacy product – the 7X offers more EQ presets in the SteelSeries client and offers dynamic range compression, where this option isn’t available for the 9X.
The Kaira Pro offers around 19 hours of battery life on a single charge, and the HS75 XB from Corsair lasts up to 17-18 hours (albeit with slightly above-average volume levels). For reference, the 9X was drained in roughly 21 hours, while the 7X is able to go on for 27.5 hours on a single charge. Just like the microphone on the 7X, albeit somewhat less flexible, the mic on the 9X is decent enough and considerably better than most of the microphones on rival headsets in this price range.īuild quality and comfort are great and on par with its younger sibling, but battery life is less than that of the 7X, but still slightly better than the main competition, including the Razer Kaira Pro and Corsair HS75 XB. We’ve also seen this dual wireless system on the Razer Kaira Pro (and regular Arctis 9) for Xbox, and it works pretty well. In short, the 7X is more versatile when it comes to using the headset on different platforms, while the 9X can be used to listen to music or make calls through a mobile device while gaming. The 7X connects wirelessly to various platforms via a USB-C transmitter, while the 9X sports a dual-wireless system that connects wirelessly via Xbox wireless audio and other devices through Bluetooth. Designed in black with green accents, SteelSeries’ “most awarded headset” shares its design with the 7X, but the main difference between the two is their connectivity options.
