I got the 7X for the XSX and I'm really enjoying them. I'm using the DTS:X setting and games and movies sound great. Really comfortable, too. The Pulse 3D on the other hand, are the most uncomfortable headset I've ever used. They sound great for 99 bucks but the clamping force around the ears is unbearable. I'm going to return them, as I already bought the 7P black version off the SteelSeries website. While I could just use the 7X between both consoles, they're placed behind my television and hard to access and I'd rather have a dedicated headset for each console.
Do you get any occasional pop or crackle when using the 7X at all? Or is it a perfect uninterrupted audio?
Could I also get a link to them? Putting in 7X in Amazon doesn't seem to point to the specific model.
Also, I may have discovered a sort of fox for the 9X: it seems the cracking/skipping happens as a result of not pushing any buttons on the controller for more than 10 seconds or so.
If I'm holding down a button or analog stick during a Gears Tactics cutscene, for instance, the crackling goes away. So the headset seems to desync or go idle really fast if in response to the controller not being used.
This is stupid, of course, because I don't want to have to keep holding a button down at all times. I don't know if there's a setting to keep the headset from desynching so quickly or what have you.
And again, if the 7X is delivering a far better wireless experience then I'll probably try that instead.
