The SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless gaming headset stays true to the stylings of the Arctis brand. It may not be a cheap headset, but its level of quality and flexibility make it one you can use for just about everything – something that's not always true of cheaper gaming headsets. The SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless's more platform-agnostic approach proves to make it a far more valuable headset. Though it doesn't support Xbox so simply, SteelSeries also offers the Arctis 9X to cover that console.

The headset features a USB dongle for wireless connectivity with most modern platforms, and some backup connectivity options if you need more flexibility in your setup. While the SteelSeries Arctis 7X and 7P specifically target the new Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, respectively, the new SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless headset is one of the company's more premium models, which tend to find a way to work in just about any setup.Īt $200, you'd hope for a headset to be fairly versatile, and that's just what the Arctis 9 promises. The Pro Wireless (opens in new tab) and the Pro + DAC (opens in new tab) retail at $329.99 and $249.99, respectively.SteelSeries continues to fill out its lineup of headsets with new Arctis models that fit into every niche. The only setback for both models may be the price, but you get what you pay for when it comes to great audio. It may not be Hi-Res certified like the Pro + DAC, but the audio quality is right up there, and it has Bluetooth support and a great battery swap system. If you wish to go all out and cut cables in the process, the Pro Wireless is as good as you can get from SteelSeries. RGB lighting is a nice touch, and the DAC amp unit makes the headset a breeze to configure and use.

The experience will be wired and tied to a PC to get the most out of available sound, but that's a price many see worth the cost of being able to wander around freely.

The Pro + DAC by SteelSeries is a fantastic upgrade for any gamer looking to enjoy truly high-quality audio.
