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.
The original Arctis 7. I actually bought A Nova 7 G2 couple weeks ago but had to return them due to small earcups. This whole Gen supposedly suffers from 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 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
