SteelSeries Arctis 9X Wireless Gaming Headset - Xbox Connectivity

The SteelSeries Arctis 9X is purpose-built for the Xbox ecosystem, using the same integrated Xbox Wireless protocol found in Xbox controllers to connect directly to Xbox consoles without dongles, USB adapters, or base stations. This clean wireless setup is complemented by simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity, a feature that lets gamers take phone calls, join Discord on a mobile device, or stream music from a phone without interrupting their Xbox audio. The result is a dual-connection headset that bridges console gaming and mobile communication seamlessly.

Audio quality is driven by SteelSeries' signature Arctis soundscape tuning, with Windows Sonic surround sound support for spatial audio in compatible games. The bidirectional ClearCast microphone uses noise cancellation to isolate voice from background sound, and it retracts into the ear cup when not needed. Comfort is addressed through AirWeave fabric ear cushions that stay cool during long sessions and an adjustable ski goggle-style headband made of durable steel that distributes weight evenly. The on-ear ChatMix dial provides real-time control over the balance between game audio and voice chat, while a built-in audio share jack lets a second listener plug in. With 20+ hours of battery life, the Arctis 9X is designed to outlast even the longest gaming marathons.
