    The Arctic 7x is the best, it has pretty much everything the 9x has but it works for PC, Switch, and PS4



  2. David French on October 7, 2021 at 8:13 am

    Had the 9x but the connection issues are insane.. Happy with my 7x pair as the dongle seems to sort the problem 👌🏻

    Microsoft soft headset $99



  4. matto on October 7, 2021 at 8:15 am

    Imagine using a headset



  5. Im Cptn Awesome on October 7, 2021 at 8:15 am

    2:24 "you can eventually upgrade to the wireless Arctis 1 at an extra 50 dollars." Wow, the price doubles for the wireless option. For gaming I’m fine with wired anyway.

    Thoughts about the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2?



  7. TechGains on October 7, 2021 at 8:17 am

    Steel series 9x



  8. Loitersquad E on October 7, 2021 at 8:17 am

    This is awesome



  9. AstroCyborg on October 7, 2021 at 8:18 am

    So not a mention of the Astro a40 or a50



  10. IмР on October 7, 2021 at 8:19 am

    Got OG A40s back in 2008. Got the wireless mixamp the next year. Upgraded to 50s in 2011 & got Gen3 with my XSX. Hope Astro brings a new model out.



  11. Rocketeerrs on October 7, 2021 at 8:20 am

    Turtle Beach Stealth



  12. Sam Fisher on October 7, 2021 at 8:23 am

  13. zeyad blaze on October 7, 2021 at 8:25 am

  14. Thiago RR on October 7, 2021 at 8:25 am

    Ustedes de IGN más apoyan a la mierda de sonic ,pero A MARIO O Zelda no, porque creen que tienen menos vistas ahí, encima ustedes IGN empresa de mierda no mas tiran hate a nintendo colocando malas calificaciones a Mario 3d World bowser fury o a Mario golf que ambos arrasan



  15. ChaosZeus999 on October 7, 2021 at 8:26 am

    Arctis 9x which can connect via Bluetooth to a phone at the same time, which is a huge plus



  16. Hemi Life 215 on October 7, 2021 at 8:29 am

    Arctis Pro wireless is the best hands down



  17. Rice Fist on October 7, 2021 at 8:29 am

    Kaira Pro?…



  18. Matias Raekkoenen on October 7, 2021 at 8:29 am

    Turtle Beach



  19. Choda Boy on October 7, 2021 at 8:29 am

    It is unfortunate you did not include actual microphone audio examples.



  20. IGN on October 7, 2021 at 8:30 am

  21. dannonyogurt98 on October 7, 2021 at 8:30 am

    The official headset for Xbox is great



  22. Krencio on October 7, 2021 at 8:33 am

    Arctis 9x 💪💪



  23. SACHORROR on October 7, 2021 at 8:33 am

    Honestly the razer kiara pro is amazing on the Xbox series x.i have the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2s also and the kiara’s are better.



  24. Adrenaline Junkie on October 7, 2021 at 8:33 am

    How can you make this vid and not have the 9X in there? Same foe the A50. Come on now.



  25. Daryl Cooper on October 7, 2021 at 8:34 am

    What no astro a50 come on



  26. THEBIGARN on October 7, 2021 at 8:34 am

  28. Thiago RR on October 7, 2021 at 8:38 am

    Mario y zelda tienen más de 10 millones de vistas pero ustedes de IGN no más apoyan a la mier da de sonic que tiene más de 1 Millón de vistas en su canal de mierda zelda tiene 315k pero en el canal de nintendo tiene 6M, el resultado es porque ustedes empresa de mierda no apoyan y le tiran mierda no mas



  29. beerman666 on October 7, 2021 at 8:39 am

    Astro a50 all the way.



  30. Blessed Red on October 7, 2021 at 8:39 am

    Avoid all gaming headsets and get some nice pair of Sennheiser HD560S’s. Thank me later.



  31. Savai'i on October 7, 2021 at 8:41 am

    Video starts at 1:10



  32. Dallas Rabot on October 7, 2021 at 8:42 am

    Turtle Beach Stealth 700x Gen 2 is a solid choice for best Xbox headset.



  33. Nick Ward on October 7, 2021 at 8:42 am

    Arctics Pro better than Astro A40’s



  34. Lee McLaren on October 7, 2021 at 8:44 am

    Steeleseries arctis 9x amazing headset



  35. Decoraan on October 7, 2021 at 8:46 am

    Surprised you didn’t include the lucidsound 35x



  36. phraze on October 7, 2021 at 8:47 am

    Btw. For anyone interested in the Penrose X. If you flip the switch on the USB dongle from Xbox to PC-mode, they’ll work on PS4, PS5, Switch and PC. No kidding, I’m using the Penrose X myself on my PS5 as I’m writing this.



  37. Robert Harrison on October 7, 2021 at 8:48 am

    Imagine having a Series X



  38. Michael Barton on October 7, 2021 at 8:48 am

    Very happy with my Xbox wireless headset, does any and everything you need. Mic works well but is not game changing best in class. And it does all that for 100$



  39. Ethan133 - Rainbow Six Siege Shorts on October 7, 2021 at 8:50 am

    $150 or £150 which converted = £108

    Why does the UK fail at prices for everything tech 🙁



  40. PabloDopaminoso on October 7, 2021 at 8:51 am

    Razer Kaira pro for xbox x/s beats every headset in this video



  41. Creatin freak on October 7, 2021 at 8:54 am

    Arctis 7x is the jest, becouse they working wireless whit Xbox series x and PlayStation 5.



  42. Christopher Tribie on October 7, 2021 at 8:55 am

    The RIG 800 comes with dolby atmos



  43. Ben Jammin on October 7, 2021 at 8:55 am

    my astro a50 would slap all of them



  44. AJBOOMER 1 on October 7, 2021 at 8:56 am

    Turtle Beach 700x Gen 2 👌🏽👍🏼



  45. RedX165 on October 7, 2021 at 8:57 am

    Astro a50’s are the best



  46. Paul Sims on October 7, 2021 at 9:01 am

    You failed to mention the Penrose uses Planar Magnetic drivers, which mean they actually have exceptional audio quality, like proper headphones – unlike the majority of ‘gaming’ headsets which sound utter garbage… Happy Penrose owner here.



  47. Sathious on October 7, 2021 at 9:02 am

    Astro A50s still the best



  48. AngryGoldfish on October 7, 2021 at 9:04 am

    Do it for Ps5 next!



  49. Hfkdps on October 7, 2021 at 9:04 am

    Beyerdynamics puts them all to shame



  50. Mike Lasenby on October 7, 2021 at 9:05 am

    B&O Beoplay!
