#Steelseries arctis update

They also have quite a bit of latency on PC when streaming videos. However, they don't have multi-device or NFC pairing. You can use them to stream music from your phone when also gaming on the Xbox One, which is convenient if you like to use your headphones for more casual use. The SteelSeries Arctis 9X have great Bluetooth connectivity. However, the scoring of this box has changed from 6.7 to 7.0 to reflect these changes. You also shouldn't notice a delay in audio or visuals. These headphones still have a good latency value, though, as a good value falls between -55ms to 150ms. However, using test bench 1.5, we measured -8ms on iOS and 13ms on Android.

Previous to this test bench, we gave a score of 0ms when the value was negative. Negative latency means that your audio comes before your visuals.

Update : We now measure negative latency values in test bench 1.5 and have extended our scoring curve accordingly. As a result, we have updated our review, and the scoring of this box has changed. Once paired to both devices, you can hear audio from both devices simultaneously. Next, you press the headphones' 'Bluetooth' button to pair them with a phone. You must first press the 'Pair' button on the Xbox console and then press and hold the headphones' power button for six seconds this pairs the headphones to the console. Update : We've changed Multi-Device Pairing from 'No' to 'Bluetooth + Console/Non-BT Wireless' as these headphones can connect to an Xbox console and a Bluetooth device at the same time. We've updated the Xbox One compatibility value of the 9X to reflect support for both mic and audio. We've tested for audio stuttering and sporadic disconnecting when the headphones are used via non-Bluetooth wireless. Retested Bluetooth for negative latency values and updated 'Noise Handling' test results. We've added a comparison between these headphones and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless in Wired.
