"Hated my SteelSeries Arctis 9x over Xbox wireless."
"Worst wireless Xbox headset ever, completely dysfunctional radio which they never fixed. ... Anyone who bought one, had issues, and couldn't return it was just left with useless junk (or an overly expensive BT headset, whichever way you want to look at it)."
