SteelSeries Arctis 9 Review: This clean-cut wireless headset delivers a mean punch

 

Sporting audio performance that might even give some higher-end gaming headphones a run for their money, SteelSeries takes the cake in the value department once again, though it does come with a couple of aesthetic trade-offs.

Simple aesthetic and swivel-able earcups makes it easy to fit into setups and transport ; Clear, smooth and distortion-free audio that's surprisingly good for a wireless option ; Setup is quick and clean - no need to install third-party apps or...

Doesn't look very impressive externally ; Soundstage is still outclassed by the most top-tier headphones ; Relatively expensive in a vacuum

SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless Review: Capable, Elegant Simplicity

 

Connecting via dongle, Bluetooth or both simultaneously

Impressive wireless connectivity ; Can connect to 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth simultaneously ; Great battery life

Expensive ; Flat audio profile with muted bass ; Questionable durability

SteelSeries brings forward the same award-winning design of previous Arctis headsets with the Arctis 9 Wireless. The sound is still mostly great, even if the competition has caught up or surpassed the line, but if you don't need Bluetooth, the $50...

Finish your awesome PC gaming build with the SteelSeries Arctis 9 headphones

Wide array of EQ settings ; Comfortable fit ; Sound is good after tuning ; Long battery life ; Smooth lossless wireless experience

Tuning required for best sound ; Only works with PC and Playstation

The SteelSeries Arctis 9 offers a comfortable fit and has amazing battery life, but it requires some audio tuning to sound up to par.

SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless Review

 

The SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless are feature-packed wireless gaming headphones. They offer Bluetooth compatibility, a high-quality boom microphone, and companio...

Compatible with Bluetooth. Feature-packed companion app with graphic EQ. Great microphone recording quality and noise handling performance. Good battery life. Impressive build quality. Low wireless latency with USB dongle.

Tight fit may not suit all listeners. Poor noise isolation capability. Inconsistent audio delivery. Imbalanced default sound profile. Bulky, heavy design.

The SteelSeries Arctis 9 are passable for neutral sound. They struggle to deliver audio consistently and lack low-bass, so sound effects may be missing a bit of thump and rumble. They also have an uneven treble response that causes some higher notes to...

SteelSeries Arctis 9 review

 

The SteelSeries Arctis 9 feels great and sounds good, although it's quite expensive, even taking all of its features into account.

Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed using the Arctis 9 for both gaming and productivity, particularly since it’s so effortless to wear. In the same price range, I would consider (and perhaps even opt for) the Logitech G Pro X Wireless, but it depends on...
