9x, 7p, and Nova 5x.
Huge congrats! I had the Arctis 9X since launch (middle of 2019 I believe) and just recently had to lay them to rest (hinge on ear cup snapped). Ever since then I have missed having a SteelSeries headset, but the other day I saw the Arctis Gamebuds were heavily discounted for prime day, so I snagged a pair and have been super happy so far! Like most anything there will be negative reviews, but me personally I have never had an issue with anything from SteelSeries. The quality is there along with exceptional sound. Enjoy the new headset!
Razer PlayStation Kaira, razer kraken. I have the steel series Arctis 9x? I think and they are pretty good. I don't use them often unless I'm on my pc.
Arctis 9x is good, I also have the Nova Pro Wireless and it's also good Both work flawlessly with Xbox One Series X
Had two Steel Series 9x's in the household, one for me and one for my son, both broke in exactly the same place. Online searches found multiple people with the same breakage. I don't think they sell them anymore... make of that what you will. We both have Razors now.
Steel Series Arctis 9x.
I do. I'm a big audio fanatic, and they have a wide comfortable flexy band head strap. My last broke there being plastic. Direct connect to the XBox like a controller. 3 years and did 1 reset to clear the channel. 20 hr battery life. I have +1500hrs. I am gentle and take care of them. Zero issues. If audio cackles battery is low, turn them down and they keep going a bit. Lol.
Audio quality, easy connection with no drops were my priority in purchase.
Steel series artics 9X, thank me later
I just got the Razer Blackshark v3 Pro for Xbox. It’s pricy but LOVE them and have no interference pops and dropouts like I eventually got from my SteelSeries Arctis 9Xs.
