I really love my Razer Thresher for my PS4. Extremely comfortable, great range, great sound, mutable mic. I've been thinking about getting a second one for the office pc (ps4 and office aren't close enough to practically switch back and forth)
Great headset: does Xbox wireless with console and PC, simultaneous Bluetooth (I use it for listening to podcasts from the iPad when playing on the Xbox), and has a 3.5mm jack if your computer has neither Xbox wireless nor Bluetooth.
Two issues: charging is via micro-USB and not USB-C, and wireless range with the Series X (and possibly all Xboxes) is pretty terrible - works fine when I'm on the couch some 10ft from the Xbox and TV, but if I move to the kitchen about 20ft away I get interruptions in audio. Even Bluetooth has better range and consistency.
How's your BT connection on PC? Mine seems very spotty so much, that luckily I already had the Xbox PC adapter and have 0 issues using them that way.
Bluetooth on anything is great: I've used it with my iPad, phone, and laptop (built-in BT, no dongle) and the range is even better than Xbox wireless but sound quality is slightly worse.
No way. Wireless connectivity is the only thing. For everything else there never will be a better combination. Except for people's preferences of wired headphone to use of course. I like the fidelity X2 personally but that's cause I didn't try 9500 myself.
But I had the SteelSeries Siberia 800 which is original top of the line wireless model and predecessor of the headphones in this deal and it was awesome. Top quality and no issues like what the new models seem to have. But the sound quality of the wired headphones just way better.
I keep the Xbox Party overlay enabled so I can see exactly when my mic is transmitting to the party. Popped up most frequently with the 7x headset.
I was looking for steel series for Xbox 2 weeks ago but were sold out. So I ended up getting a Bose qc35ii.
Then I found out the hard way it can't connect wirelessly with an Xbox and needed a wireless adapter if I wanted to do that.
So I bought the cheapest wireless adapter on Amazon and it turns out it was a "wireless receiver" and what you want is a transmitter.
Spent another $45 for a low latency BT transmitter and it's been working pretty good so far.

Add to that that the 7x are only 40mm drivers, that they have fairly weak bass response. I don't know why they would just not have made them 50mm drivers.
I'm a little confused. Are you saying that 7x are technically more reliable and better build quality? Any headphones that fall apart within 6 months and costs over $50($150 for the 7x to be exact) and won't be repaired by the manufacturer(according to your post) is not worth it. If the 9x are worse... and at the $175 price... this would be a horrible buy.
I am thinking about buying them and I guess I'll just watch YouTube reviews of both pair. I trust reddit but at the same time... many reddit users twist the truth. I would hope a company like steelseries would stand by the warrenty.

Having said all that I have my old astro a50 gen 3 (which I know was a $300 headset not $150-$200 but still) and they are muuuuuch louder than all these headsets. I feel as all these headsets should be able to ahieve higher volume levels because games like pubg are just quieter and it is difficult to hear fine details and footsteps sometimes on these other headsets (9x,7x,stealth 700 gen2) I mean the volume levels aren't even close I usually don't play at max volume on the a50's and all the other sets are always at max volume which is my biggest dissapointment with all of them really. Also if you're into mic monitoring the a50's have them all beat hands down it is extremely loud and I turn that down as well and wish it was just a little louder on the other sets as well..also the mic monitoring on the 7x when it's at max can sound distorted but it's not the end of the world.
All headsets were and are on their latest firmwares for anyone thinking old firmware could be affecting my judgement. Hopefully this helped someone and if anyone has any specific questions I don't mind answering!

This is false.. Multiple people have said that the 7x is the one to buy over any other steel series headsets including the 9x they said the build quality was good enough. And the sound is basically the same to be honest. Not worth the extra money get the 7x
As long as nobody cares about the bluetooth and the fact that there are no changable presets on the headset itself (compared to the 4 on the 9x) I'd say the 7x are the ones to go with out of the two. It's also worth mentioning that there are more frequency sliders on the 9x as apposed to the 7x in the computer eq application. Also the sidetone (mic monitoring) feature on the 7x can sound distorted hearing your own voice when moderately talking- yelling which you don't get on the 9x (I verified this wasn't a lemon by exchanging my first 7x and having the same result on both.
