When connected to the wireless dongle in PC mode, it blinks white. There's an LED indicator in-between the power and Bluetooth buttons. Another good choice for SteelSeries here. Many manufacturers put the mic mute button on the same ear cup as the microphone, but I find that means that hitting the button puts an audible pop or click in your recording putting it on the other ear cup minimizes that. On the right ear cup, you'll find most of the controls: a volume roller, microphone mute switch, power button, Bluetooth button, Micro USB slot for charging and 3.5mm jack. Finally, the ear cup also includes a ChatMix roller to change the mix between chat audio and game audio. The microphone also has a red LED to let you know when it's muted. That's much better than a hard microphone arm or a detachable option that you can lose. This has always been one of the better choices from the Arctis line, as you can safely stow the mic inside the ear cup when you don't need it. The left ear cup contains the retractable microphone. I could hear the typing on my clicky mechanical keyboard during slight lulls in my music, for example. I was able to hear outside noise while wearing the headset. Alternatively, leatherette here can often help block outside noise, and our review focus’ passive noise cancellation is weak. SteelSeries’ Airweave cloth, which is supposed to take sweat into account, covers the ear cups’ light foam. Despite some headsets being trimmer, the Arctis 9 Wireless felt weightless on my head. Logitech’s G Pro X Lightspeed, meanwhile, is also 0.7 pounds, and the Asus ROG Strix Go 2.4 is even lighter at 0.6 pounds. That’s a little heavier than some headsets I've recently reviewed, like the 0.7-pound wireless BlackShark V2 Pro. The Arctis 9 Wireless, as well as the wireless SteelSeries Arctis 7, is 0.8 pounds. Once it's on your head though, you'll barely feel the weight of it.
