The sound is good overall, particularly for video games. My only complaint about the Arctis 9’s game performance is that the sound is not markedly different from the SteelSeries Arctis 7, which itself didn’t have the richest or most nuanced soundscape. I always said I wished more gaming companies would embrace this design, but as headsets like the Logitech G733 prove, the design isn’t as effortless as SteelSeries makes it look. That means there’s no tedious fiddling with notches, even if you share the headset with a spouse or housemate. Instead of adjustable notches, the Arctis 9 has an elastic headband that adjusts to your head automatically each time you wear it. Like other Arctis headsets, the SteelSeries Arctis 9 uses what SteelSeries calls a “ski goggles” design. There’s no RGB lighting or inventive design flourishes it’s just an elegant, comfortable gaming headset. You could very easily wear this headset out of the house without a single errant glance. There’s a retractable mic in the left earcup, and not much else by way of adornment. Beyond that, the Arctis 9 features the classic Arctis design you’ve almost certainly seen before: a plain, lightweight black plastic chassis with an elastic headband on top.
