The only color accents are thin green lines in the fabric of the headband to denote it's built for the Xbox. The headset has a sophisticated look that’s mostly black, so a garish gaming headset, it is not. It's got an adjustable ski-goggle headband, large oval earcups, and a retractable microphone.

The Arctis 9X follows the standard SteelSeries design recipe. SteelSeries Arctis 9X – Design & Features At $199.99, the Arctis 9X is $20 more than the competing LucidSound LS35X, but the LS35X doesn't have Bluetooth, so the Arctis 9 seemingly has it all.

Not only that, but you can connect via Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth at the same time so you can listen to your own personal soundtrack while still hearing the sounds of the game you are playing.

With Bluetooth, you can use the Arctis 9X to listen to music on your phone, movies on your laptop, or use it with any Bluetooth-enabled device. It features Xbox Wireless connectivity, and it also serves up Bluetooth to add to the Arctis 9X’s value proposition ( See it on SteelSeries' site). The SteelSeries Arctis 9X is the company’s latest wireless headset and it's designed specifically for the Xbox One.
