AHMilling 1.0my arctis 7s from 2019 are starting to feel it's age and i'm looking at a new headset. * **Budget -** roughly 270 euro or 2000 dkk * **Country? -** Denmark * **Platform? -** PC * **Motherboard if on pc (or other audio gear)? -** Z790 UD AX * **Requested Guide:** Gaming Headset(AIO) * **Open back or closed back? -** Doesn't matter Have looked at both the Arctis Nova Pro or the Audeze Maxwell. Must have is chat / game mix
AcguyDance 0.5I am using steel as well. Cost vs performance is good IMO.
Aldunas 0.5I’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
ant_man18 0.5Idk what yall are doing to yalls headsets but I've had my Arctis 7s for around 4 years now and they haven't broken yet. Only issue is battery life has gone down
AstralHellsing 0.5Arctis 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.
Astrey_DeWitt 0.5Same for me
Azoth_N_Storn 0.5If 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.
banaboat307 0.5Best headset i have ever had
Beneficial_Horse_525 0.5Steelseries makes great headsets. I have owned the Arctis 7 wireless and I currently own the nova pro wireless. Sound quality is great on them. The nova pro has great battery life and has easy swappable batteries. Each battery has 20 hours of battery life and one charges jn the module box while you have the other in the headset.
Big-Resist-99999999 0.5ive had the 7s and numerous other headsets including TB Stealth Pros. The nova pro wireless are the best balance between sound quality and comfort IMO. great headset, but def recommend pushing up the EQ in the 2k and 4k range to balance it out, as the default is lacking around that area. comfort wise they are great. There is a big difference in sound quality between the 7s and the Nova Pro
