What’s up gang, Keith here with another review from the Performance Designed Products, or better known as PDP, camp. Previously we checked out their Afterglow 7 True Wireless Headset for the Xbox One, which you can check out here, however this time we’re tackling the upgraded version, the PDP Afterglow 9 Wireless Stereo Headset. Now, before we head into the review, I want to stress that when we review wireless headsets for gaming, we look at several factors; Is it comfortable, the range of the headset, the microphone quality and the battery life So with that out of the way, let’s tear into this headset review, shall we?
Gamer Professionals writes: "Performance Designed Products is renowned for their high-quality third-party accessories, and their headsets are a huge part of that equation. PDP has come out with a new version of their AG line of Afterglow headsets, the AG 9. There are versions for both the Xbox One and the PS4, but we were fortunate enough to receive a copy of the Afterglow AG 9 for the Xbox One for review purposes, and it does not disappoint."
I was floored with the quality of the sound both from in-game audio and my voice from chat with this headset. I'd recommend it to anyone for either the XB1 or PS4.
Interesting headset. Wonder how it compares to the Kral I have sitting next to me.
I wonder how these would compare to the Turtlebeaches. I might have to buy a pair to test it out.
I was playing with my friend heather and she said I sounded great. I think the Turtle Beach headsets are surround rather than stereo, but PDP puts out some great products and $99 is a good price for a quality headset like this, because they can get VERY pricy very fast.
I had an Afterglow headset and it was uncomfortable with awful sound compared to my Turtle beach X51.
I find the AG 9 comfortable but I can see why it wouldn't really compare to Turtle Beach, lol.
I have owned both turtlebeachs xb500's and the ag9's. I prefer the tb over the ag. They sound better, feel more comfertable,and have a greater range but the hed band fell apart after 8 months of use. The were replaced with the ag9 mostly because of the price and a walmart ,$10 gc. I plan to get another set of tb's as soon as the go on sale again!
Yeah the big thing is the AG 9, at least IMO, is pretty damn durable. and it is very comfortable just imo. I had a sony gold headset I could even use with my XB1 but it snapped...just terrible durability and not even great voice chat. good game audio though.

It’s been a joy to use, and a joy to look at with not just stunning sound being thrust towards my eardrums, but the glorious glow that it brings lighting up those dark evening sessions. Now though there’s a new kid on the block. The Karga has a sibling…and the AG 9 comes without any wires!"
The amount of times I've knocked things over because of wires is crazy, wireless ftw.
