Multi-device audio & comfort king, but buggy software.

AccomplishedOysterThe 7p+ is just a more comfortable headset than the 7p. I have had both before just getting the SteelSeries’ Arctis Pro on sale. I would get the 7p+.
drmlolI bought SS Arctis 7P like 2-3 years ago, use it daily, and they still work like new. EDIT: I guess I had to replace the cushions.
ExaminationFar5031Mic quality is horrible on 7p I sold it and got myself a razer blackshark v2 pro PlayStation edition since I am using mic for online meetings too. 7p is good overall but if youre planning to use that mic other than voicechat you will be sad. For games who cares, good enough go for it.
Extension-Nerve-8279I have the 7P and easily the best headset I've ever had.
FrankBouchYeah, probably the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever worn. I just bought a new pair of Steelseries Arctis 7p , 1 week after I got my pulse 3D.
Fun-Squirrel-1213I have the steelseries arctis 7p (Playstation version but works just fine on pc) I've had them for over 5 years now and have had absolutely no issues with them. Idk about other brands but steelseries gg/sonar eq just makes them even better. They are very comfortable as well and I wear glasses too! Granted, not all glasses are the same but that's definitely worth noting
