They don't offer multi-device pairing solely via Bluetooth, but you can connect to your PC with their USB dongle and stream media via Bluetooth from your phone at the same time, unlike non-Bluetooth-compatible alternatives like the ROCCAT Elo 7.1 Air Wireless. The SteelSeries Arctis 9's Bluetooth connectivity is great. 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 first connect the headphones' dongle to your PS4. Update : We've changed Multi-Device Pairing from 'No' to 'Bluetooth + Console/Non-BT Wireless' as these headphones can connect to a PS4 console and a Bluetooth device at the same time.

If you prefer to tweak their sound to your liking, it can be customized in-depth via a graphic EQ or presets in their companion app. However, this may be an issue with our unit and if you have experienced this issue, please let us know in the discussion section below. We could also hear the difference in bass between ears. This isn't helped by the mismatch between the L/R drivers of our unit, which is most noticeable in the low-bass, high-mid, and low-treble ranges. While their mids are mostly flat and neutral, they have an uneven treble response that results in a lack of detail and clarity.

They're missing a bit of low bass, so some sound effects and bass-heavy music genres may lack thump and rumble. The SteelSeries Arctis 9 have a somewhat imbalanced sound profile out-of-the-box. While we experienced a difference in frequency response between both drivers, it could be due to a quality issue unique to our model. Update : We have clarified the results of the mismatch between the L/R driver.
