SteelSeries - Arctis 7

In fact, I just switched from a 2017 SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless to the Fractal Design Scape. The Arctis was already mechanically worn out and I've already replaced the ear pads 5 times. I've tried several headsets over the last few years, but none of them have convinced me to give up the Arctis 7. The Scape surprises me. Comfortable to wear, good sound quality, decent battery life and then there's RGB. The charging cradle is the best thing about it.

I have the arctis 7s and they're meh, I honestly wanna go back to the hyperX clouds. The steelseries are okay, sounds kinda Halloween. Its hard to explain Im not the audio snob at all. The hyperX just sound full-er and better.

I've had them about 8 months now, previously using artic 7 for the past 9 years. the only thing that has me reaching for an old pair of wired Serbia v2 that I retired 9 years ago is the half second delay when skipping YouTube or using the mic. Replacement ear pads from aliexpress are a must and the headband can be made to work but it's never going to be as comfy as the artics was without spending the $$ Coming from using [trying to] the steelseries software for the past 9 years, the audeze program isn't that bad as a basic eq and settings place (steelseries did have a very customisable eq page), eq's are stored on board and can be changed via a phone app too.

I had Arctis 7 (not +, but the older version), for about 7-8 years before I got a new pair and got Nova on a sale. I looove Nova. While I thought 7 was great, I have a small head and they didn’t sit too well. Nova on the other hand sits perfectly. Neither has ever given me headaches. Novas sound is incredible. I’d recommend trying them out in the store, but honestly I don’t think you can go wrong with either Nova or 7+.

I have the older version of the SteelSeries Arctis 7 for almost 7 years now and they just now broke, definitely getting another pair soon

I've got the white arctis and it has been great so far. Great sound, comfortable and mic works well and retracts. Highly recommend

I am using steel as well. Cost vs performance is good IMO.

I’ve had arctics 7 for 5 years but recently the ear piece started to break and eventually they were beyond repair. They were the best headphones I’ve ever had so I bought an exact same piece. The audio in left year broke after 1 month. I switched them to new ones thanks to warranty but those broke again within a month. I exchanged them again on a warranty and so far it’s been good for 3 months. Take it as you will. Just sharing my experience

Arctis 7 is all I’ve known. I’ve had mine for 7 years now and they are still great. Only problem is they no longer seem to hold a charge longer than 6min. May have to do something DIY with battery replacement. Because I don’t have the money to buy a new headset and it would be the Arctis Pros.

If you can find them for a good price the audeze maxwell i would 100% recommend. Honestly ive used most of the high end gaming headsets and there sound and EQ just have so many issues. Ill also add the build quality tend to break or Fall apart in the same areas. But I'd probably go with arctis 7 line for consoles as the arctis nova pros just arent worth the price.
