The reason they had to go back was the hinge had broken loose from the housing. There was a piece of plastic rattling around inside the cup and the headset became a little uneven when place don my head. Really disappointed in having to return them. I would also like to mention I have never dropped these, neither have they ever been thrown down. I have no idea how this fracture came about as I try to look after all my kit. I am reluctant to get another pair, so keeping my eye on the market for a replacement ,tried 2 sets of ASTRO A50 were but they were rife with issues on the series X. The Base station kept freezing and switching off at random (was fine on PC though).Purchased these so I would have a dedicated pair of wireless headphones for my XBOX X. Previously used Sennheiser Game One (wired). But time and time again the jack port on the controller would end up cutting out the sound. So wireless it was. I looked at numerous products, bought a set of Plantronics RIG 800LX, they were DOA so returned them. Then I looked at gaming DACS to use with my Sennheiser. No dice as feedback was they were great but didn't work with XBOX chat (unless using on your phone?) So naturally ended up looking at top of the range solutions. So AS50's were my next port of call. Numerous reviews with people trashing them and others saying they were interstellar sound. My finger must have hovered over the purchase button numerous times. I thought no, 300 quid for some headphones just not paying it.BUILD QUALITY & AESTHETICSSo I looked at Steelseries. Various products and many reviews later I opted for the 9x. For my first steel series headset must say very impressed with it. Build quality is excellent, A metal headband frame, with a velcro adjusted elastic support band (this comes into contact directly with your head). Almost like a ski goggle band. I think these can be swapped out for other designs if you like to change things up.The ear cups are closed cup design (I'm used to the soundstage of open back) I prefer open back but these are great at reducing sound bleed so if playing in a room with other people it prevents others hearing them. The microweave cushion is very very soft and so comfortable long gaming sessions and no ear-ache from headphones pressing on your ears (you can buy velour or pleather replacements) . I imagine that depends on the size of your ears. But as a whole my ears fit within the ear cups. As per the headband you can change up the design on the outer part of the cups (purchased separately). Closed cup also prevent external sound getting in, not completely but enough. The earcups swivel so they can be laid flat on a table/shelf when packed away, which is a nice design feature.The battery life states 20 hours which is pretty accurate. I do have quite long gaming sessions at weekends, 3-4 hours during the day and possibly another 5/6 in the evening. So a single charge will hold. However you will need to keep on top of it. The XBXOX dash has an icon on battery along with the controller.SOUNDThe sound itself, at least to me is very good. I'm no audiophile but for gaming they work well. I use DOLBY ATMOS (sonic works just as well) with them and no complaints. There are 4 presets; Flat, Bass Boost, Smiley, Performance. I tweaked these to my liking, as we all look for something different in sound. A lot of people say the sound is poor on these until they tweak the profiles. In all honesty the 'Smiley setting' is a happy medium. You will however need to plug these into a Laptop or a Computer to adjust EQ within the 'Steelseries Engine software'. If you don't have a computer to do so the smiley setting is the all round setting. Nice clarity and not too muddy bass. I have sensitive ears from years of diving so keep the bass quite neutral. Which is also why I prefer open back headphones.MICROPHONE & EAR CUP CONTROLSThe Microphone has an adjustable wire neck which coils up into the ear cups. Unlike other gaming sets where you flip the MIC boom up to mute the mic you have a button on this set. The mic has a red LED which illuminates once muted. If I am totally honest the MIC works and is very sensitive. However I think it could do with a foam microphone cover as it can be a little too sensitive. You can adjust this in the Software as well as the side tone. The sidetone allows you to hear yourself through the MIC, this is great so you don't end up shouting whilst using the MIC. As mentioned close cup headphones reduce the sound around you this includes your own voice.The Headphone volume is a small dial on the right earcup. The layout of the dials is clear and after a few uses you will navigate to them with ease. It is functional and works but from a design point of view, the actual dials could be bigger and less sensitive. More like click on each volume level would be better. Every time I take off the headset it is always at a different volume. So it is easy to move it by accident. A minor gripe but a gripe none the less. The EQ presets are on the right ear cup these are a single click of a button. You get a clear beep in the ear ranging from one to four to indicate the appropriate profile.The headsets works on the same tech as the XBOX X controller and pairs the same. It also powers the XBOX X on when the headset is powered up. The bluetooth works parallel to it so you can receive calls or listen to music via phone or ipad. This is a feature I didn't think I would use much but have actually really started to use it more with Lockdown. I stream music from my phone whilst training. Works really well, connection wise it is seamless and have no issues at all.The Chat volume/Game volume ratio is on the left earcup and this is a great feature. You can adjust the balance of the two on the fly. So if you have someone in your chat who is really quiet you can increase the chat bias or vice versa.Overall I would say this is a really good headset, now and then when powering on the connection can be a little funny. But nothing a headset restart doesn't fix. This isn't all the time maybe one every ten times I use it. The sound quality has a fair bit of depth and can be adjusted to your liking, coupled with Windows sonic or if you wish to buy ATMOS. There isn't much between them really. But they do make a difference and some games specifically support ATMOS. The price point, hmm I would say yeah maybe a little steep but they do have some decent features and wireless is great coupled with bluetooth. If you can pick them up for £150 even better, ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genuine wireless connectivity for XBox One and upcoming Series X *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 31 October 2020* I had a set of Astro A50's connected to my XBox One via optical audio, then it was announced that the XBox Series X would not have a optical audio port, requiring a bit of a rethink on my part.I've tried several different manufacturers/models and for me, this is the best combination of price, features and general quality out there.Unlike several competitors, these are the only XBox certified wireless I've found that work seamlessly with both the Xbox One and X Box Series X (obviously on that last one I'm taking SteelSeries and XBox word for it, as today is Halloween, and I've got 10 days to wait for shiny new Series X, though you tubers vids look promising).Many that claim to be wireless still require you to run a 3.5mm cable to your controller for mic usage in games, this model does not - it pairs to the Xbox in exactly the same way as your controller - press button on headset, press 'pair' button on front of X console, 'et voila!' (you even receive an official message on screen at this point ' 'headset assigned').Further features -- Discord certified mic (very clear)- Dolby Atmos (just download the XBox Dolby Atmos app and set up for brilliant sound)- Allows Bluetooth connection, so you can listen to music / take phone calls at the same time as a gaming session)- 'Ski Goggle' style headband, which I've found very comfortable in long gaming sessions- Windows PC can be connected by purchasing a XBox wireless adaptor for your PC (similar to that used to connect an XBox controller to a W10 PC)All in all, I highly recommend this product! - Happy gaming ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great headset *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 September 2024* Giving it a solid four stars.Great headset, sounds great, works great, feels great, it's easy to use, controls aren't too finicky.I use it for my Xbox Series S and the connectivity is good enough for me to walk to and from the bathroom with minimal connection issues.Now the reason I give it four stars is because a few of my friends have had this same headset about a year longer than me and have had nothing but issues with it. The charging cable breaking, the usb slot breaking the actual plastic housing that attaches the headband to the speaker cracking.To note, I've experienced nothing like this but about 3 months into me owning my headset, it just wouldn't turn on this was solved by a quick 20 minute google and repair (I had to remove the padding around the ear and jam a needle into a hard reset switch) which was a little annoying but my friends had theirs under warranty and I believe they haven't had any issues with their new ones.Aside from their issues, I can't complain, I would still recommend this headset, the battery life is amazing I've never had it die on me, as long as you charge it overnight you should have no issues either. 8/10 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/129680956-steelseries-arctis-9x-built-in-xbox-wireless-and-bluetooth-connectivity](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/129680956-steelseries-arctis-9x-built-in-xbox-wireless-and-bluetooth-connectivity) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
