SteelSeries - Arctis 7P Wireless

My arctis 7P just up and stopped charging. Followed all their guides on the website and it didn't work. Probably gonna look at either the pulse elites or the explores for the portal and playstation link. I dunno if I'd like having the explores in my ears for extended gaming sessions because my other cheap ones make my ears itch.

I had the arctis 7P for 5 years and they finally just pooped out on me. Great headset. Will last.

These would be my recommendation too

My arctis 7p says hello, going strong, bought in 2020.

I’ve had the arctis 7p’s since launch day of the ps5 so either you’re treating your equipment like garbage or you just have the worst luck possible

I've been on the lookout for a solid wireless headset for my PS5, and after trying a few, I ended up going with the SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless. The audio quality really stands out during both gaming and streaming sessions, and the mic clarity is good enough for clear communication.

I have Steelseries Arctis Pro 7P and I love them. Have had them for a few years. Caveat is theres no noise cancelling. That doesn't bother me though.

I’ve used a few different wireless headsets with my PS5, and the one that stands out for streaming and gaming is the SteelSeries Arctis 7P. The sound quality is great, especially for directional audio in games, and the microphone is clear for streaming. The wireless connection is strong, and the battery lasts a long time, which is crucial for long gaming sessions.

Redownloaded Reddit just to offer a different perspective here. I’m back in these threads bc I bought the arctic series. It’s one of the cheapest feeling headsets I’ve ever had. Mic doesn’t extend far enough and sounds like shit. Overall build quality is poor. My favorite headsets have been the original Astro a40s and the Beyerdynamic Tygr 300r (what I use at my pc). Also, I think that is some weird affiliate link too?

(I know we’re having 2 different conversations on 2 different threads, I just appreciate the real person feedback that I’ve missed from uninstalling reddit) My arctis 7p does work functionally, it’s just the quality I have issues with. Build feels pretty cheap especially the headset controls and microphone, the sound isn’t great, and my friends don’t like the mic (which I think is due to the mic being so short/away from my mouth)

Arctis 7P are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn.

Arctis 7P, really nice, sturdy, and does dual audio with Bluetooth if you want music or voip on your phone instead of the PlayStation.

I use the Nova 5p wireless for PC and the 7p wireless on PS5 and absolutely love them. Steelseries makes really good stuff. Just delete their horrible app off your pc. Lol

SteelSeries Arctis 7P is specifically designed for the PS5, has fantastic sound quality, and the microphone is great for streaming. The wireless connection is rock-solid, and it’s comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions. The audio is clear with a good balance of bass and treble, making it great for both games and chatting with friends.

I've been looking into a buds option. I have the steelseries 7p. And own some jabra elite 8 active, and love them for comfort and sound quality. While researching found out jabra bought arctis in 2021 and there the similarity of designs. Read some reviews that on ps5 the audio is low. Has this been fixed, or not had the issue at all?

Steelseries 7p or 7x probably gonna be your best bet and finding them used will be even cheaper. There are others id recommended but there over 100

9x, 7p, and Nova 5x.

I used the original Playstation Pulse for the last couple years and they were awesome for Siege. Felt like I could hear footsteps and knew exactly where they were coming from. They were starting to breakdown a bit and decided it was time for a new pair. Curiosity got to me and I ended up buying the Steelseries Arctis 7p's which I heard were top notch. You have to download software to get these dialed in to be able to hear what you want to hear. Been a bit of a pain in the ass. Kind of wish I would have just gone with the Playstation Pulse Elites. Grass isn't always greener! If anyone else is using the 7p's and has a good EQ setting for Siege, please let me know!

The Arctis 7P steel series is probably one of the best headsets available

Dang, the inzone H5 is on sale right now and would recommend but not quite under $100. Same for Steel series 7p, on sale but still barely over budget. If you can come up with the extra $20-30 I’d say make the leap because the next option under $100 is going to be Turtle beach or something similar and not great. If you are ok with wired the H3 is available right now under budget. Maybe be look for used.

I use the Steelseries 7P, audio quality is alright for valo, and most importantly it's lightweight

Had both Steele series better and I’m using 7P now great head phones

I find I can't wear them for more than an hour without my ears hurting. The battery life isn't great either.

This is what I have. They are AMAZING. Make sure to set up some sound profiles on them to get the best experience. They’re so comfy too, even though I have a relatively large head.

Wireless the way to go. I have a wired Razer Kraken 3 which has good sound and comfort but not so much a quality build. Headband snapped, wire wore out, pleather wearing out. Good thing I got it as a gift. +1 for any Steel Series Arctis wireless as well. I ended up buying cheap $30 wireless from Amazon which works fine but not the same as a headset that has software to go with it. Even with Razer Kraken, the sound quality is better if you have a Dolby Atmos license (~$10?) for the virtual surround sound enhancements vs the Windows Sonic which is built into Windows.

It is ! I’ve just upgraded to the wireless one and it’s so easy to set up and have really good sound quality and noise cancellation :)

The Arctis ones do it with a cool little dedicated box where you can also control other things. I had some years ago and it was a very handy feature...though yes, windows now does much better, channel-based volume control. Still not as cool as a dial on a box though :)

I live and breathe by the steel series arctis series. They have lasted me a LONG time and has withstood a lot over the years with zero damage.

steelseries arctis are as good as it gets for me. I've tested every major headset over the last year and they've been the best sounding and by far most comfortable. they suffer from some software issues when using in pc but outside of that i will be sticking with steelseries offeringsbfor the foreseeable future

I’d look into a hyperx headset. Those usually are good quality and last quite a while. I haven’t found one I’m not a fan of but I’m also not an enthusiast although I currently bounce between the alpha and a Steelseries arctis headset.

Steelseries and something in your budget in the arctis series. I am on my 3rd model. I love the headband part that doesn’t press on my head, and the material on the earpads are so comfortable.

Just got these. I can recommend them. Not tested mic yet. As for comfort: I have a large head, and am finding the clamping a bit tight however, and the earcups just fit around my ears - it's a bit snug. Nothing bad, per se, but not quite in the super comfort zone of some other headphones. They'd be fine for gaming sessions, but not something I'd want to wear all day. I'd have preferred a bit more of a relaxed fit. On the other hand, a relaxed fit means very big headphone that can turn some people off.

Having owned the arctis, and now just picked up the Scape, I can tell you that it's in a different league to the Arctis. It's very good. Not quite as good as my high end audiophile headphones, but very, very good compared to most gaming headsets. I'd rate them in the same class as the Audeze maxwell. Happy to listen to music on them. Excellent controls too. And very nice looking in person. I have a large head, and am finding the clamping a bit tight however, and the earcups just fit around my ears - it's a bit snug. Nothing bad, per se, but not quite in the super comfort zone of some other headphones.

I love my Steelseries Arctis. It's a touch out of your price range but the features are top notch.

My steelseries Arctis headset is still going strong after 7 years. I had a hyper x one that didn’t even last a month.

I use the Steelseries Arctic for 3 years. Still solid

What headset you recommend? Currently have a hypercloud 2 and it´s breaking down as I´ve got it for 8 years now lol, bought the hypercloud 3 and it´s whack, literally feeling pressure on my ears and the microphone is bad. Tried arctic steelseries and even that one felt like pressure on my ears.

Audeze Maxwell - Considered one of the best wireless gaming headsets. Popular with music creators as well as for gaming. Mic is reasonably good, though can clip a little. Comes with leather earpads, but they can be replaced easily. Drop + EPOS PC38X - One of the best wired gaming headsets for sound clarity and mic quality. Bass reproduction is a bit muted, which is common for older style EPOS / Sennheiser headsets, and common with open back headphones in general. The mic is essentially the best of any consumer headset you can buy. Generally can only be bought directly from Drop's site. Comes with both cloth and velour earpads. [https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset](https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset) Steel Series Arctis headsets are generally a decent middle ground in terms of decent bass and mic quality. The overall audio quality isn't as good as either the Maxwell or PC38X, but they're closed back so their bass response is more like the Maxwell. And the mic quality is generally better than the Maxwell, but no where near as good as the PC38X. Most (maybe all?) use cloth earpads. Nova Pro Wireless and Nova 9 are both quite good, with the Nova 9 being slightly better in terms of audio clarity and mic quality, but the Pro Wireless has better bass and noise cancelling.

The Arctis steel series ones that are marketed for Xbox work with PlayStation too and I see now they have some PlayStation branded ones too

Arctis steel series. I can hear more than my teammates typically with incoming cars etc

This is the best answer. I went steel series arctis until i upgrad
