SteelSeries - Arctis 7+ Wireless

Steelseries Arctis 7+ is the best headset I’ve ever had.

Game changer for me. Love them.

I have glasses and not a big head but this headset hurts after 2-3 hours.. But the headband is reallly comfortable!

These are the best se I've ever had (I've had many over 21+ years) SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless Gaming on csgo/cs2 I can virtually pinpoint every step on a full charge they easily last me a week and I'm on my pc sometimes 8+ hours a day, The charging wire is a decent length and thickness, Only thing to make sure is you use the dingle attached to the wire that's supplied...... Just using the dongle can cut out as it seems something is interfering with the signal but with the dongle attached to the wire I can easily stand 15-20 foot away without problems any further than that and it starts cutting out.

I think this is a problem when amd updates the drivers (literally had it happen to me today) so had to go into sonar change all things back to arctis 7+ exit Steel series engine then reboot fixes it...... I'm assuming it's because sound can run through the gfx card so sound reverts to the monitor on a driver update.

Arctis 7+. I'm at my 2nd pair and still love the heck out of them (1st one I broke because they are too comfortable and I kept sleeping with them and one of the hinges collapsed under the weight of my dumb head, lmao)

Had the clouds at work, they were okay. saw the astros but I didn't care much to try them.also had the logi G733 and they are ASS. So I haven't had enough exposure with the ones you mentioned to come up with a pertinent "review" or opinions, but I can confidently say the SteelSeries Arctis 7+ are BANGIN! <3

Not audiophile quality but I like the Steelseries Artis 7+. They seem to get a fair amount of hate, but I liked the mic quality and the fact that it is wireless. Most bluetooth may not sound great but if you want wireless, try to go for one with a usb transmitter. I think it can avoid some severe bluetooth compression and audio lag. Best quality would be wired for sure tho.

I own the Steelseries Arctis 7+ so not quite the same model as you but going wireless was such an upgrade for me, personally. I have a rather small apartment so my connection never drops and I can keep them on literally all the time. The additional features like the EQs, chat mix wheel and 3.5mm pass-through are very useful occasionally. I also have an external mic from my time using the DT990s which I can switch in Discord with a hot key which is also super nice. Can only recommend going wireless to anyone who is willing to sacrifice audio quality for features and freedom.

I use this headset as well and can also recommend them as fantastic, battery life for me is once weekly, MAYBE twice if I am heavy using. The sound quality is excellent the directional awareness this set offers is very noticeable. The only issue I have had is that sometimes (very rarely) I have had to reset my sound options in a game and reassert a default. I have no other complaints.

i been using a steelseries arctis 7+ for a few years now, only need to recharge it once every 3 days (im at my pc with them on for nearly 12 hours every day) . its been great

They have awful, fatiguing sound, super uncomfortable earcup design, buggy software/transmitter and overall cheaply made. Their only redeeming quality is that they have so many features for multiple device types but in the end not worth the cons at all

i agree I had the same headset for years I stopped gaming my brother took the headset so now I'm searching on a new headset for me I loved the 7 plus man was comfortable battery lasted so long I was just comparing the 7plus vs the pro wireless and while reviews say they sound better but build quality is compromised but I do take care of everything I've owned so I can get another pair of the 7 pluses for 115 on Amazon I remember when I paid like 179 for them before

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

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.

Never heard a headset sound worse than the steelseries arctis

i have them, quality is very bad for that price.

Dont recommend them if you have a big head like me, the metal bar of the arc is really uncomfortable pushing against my head

I have the steelseries 7x+ they've been great no issues. I accidentally bent my USB C cable for the dongle tho and now been having a few issues I might try these out and give my 7x+ to my son

Thanks for that review I'm tempted to buy now probably will jus get these and give my steel series 7x+ to my son

To be fair, I've had my Arctis 7s for like 6 years now probably and the battery still lasts a couple days before I have to plug it in. And they're still in like-new condition except for the earcups which are easy to replace I just never have lol. And the only thing wrong with the earcups is their squishyness 😂 and I've put thousands of hours of gaming into them. However, they were like $130 on clearance and had I known back then what I was missing I probably would have made a different choice lol. Wirelessness really is a feature that's worth 20% more cost though. But it definitely affects the top end of the audio quality you can expect.

I use the Steel Series Arctic 7+ Pro I think it’s called? The wireless one with a non-swappable battery, you don’t need no swapping, the battery life is amazing, upwards of 30 hours on a single charge. I haven’t owned a lot of headset but this one is by far the best I’ve tried. I hear a lot good stuff about Astros as well.

Nice, I guess mine must but around 5 years old as well, fingers crossed it keeps on working for a while

That’s odd, I have a big head as well but with the adjustable velcro band, it’s fine, I can wear it all night without issue. I know they have a few model with a similar name though, maybe I got it wrong and we aren’t talking about the exact same model, I’m not sure.

No complaints from my friends, they say it sounds clear. Again, I haven’t tried a lot of headsets/mics, I know it sounds better than the PlayStation Gold I used to own on console. Some people find the Steel Series app awful, personally I like it, you can play around with sliders and stuff to adjust the sound of both your mic and different inputs through a feature they call Sonar (media, game, voice, etc). I also use the app as a recording device sometimes to review some recent gameplay, set the buffer and review how I die in Tarkov as an example.

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

Whichever steel series arctis is in the range. I've had mine for 4 years and still going strong

It's kinda meh for me. I can dodo like the built in eq for games. It's kinda makes me have superpowers in CoD. I can hear footsteps across the map.

Yea SS is kinda overpriced for what it is. But it's also plug and play and easy to hook up to a PS, Switch, PC, or phone. I've had no issues with the headphones, but the keyboard I got is absolute crap. They marketed it as mechanical, but it's a clicky button that hits a membrane. Only took one year to die because the mechanical part broke the membrane. I won't be buying any steel series only because of the false advertisement from that. I love these headphones but there are other options since I only use them on my PC 90% of the time.

Havent tried them but use the arctis 7p+ and love them

False. You're either literally saying something like HRTF which is already in the game itself, and mind you something that engineered headphones take into account for, or something like simulated 7.1, which 0 headphones can mimic an actual 7.1. Both "gaming" or "audiophile" headphones will only receive 2-channel stereo. Also an FYI, my HD800 can tell more in all directions than 99% of "gaming" headphones can.

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

Steele Series Arctic wireless 7+ Hands down best bang for buck. Have a ton of my friends and family on it.

Arctis 7+ wireless if you don't have the budget for this one.

Does chatmix work properly for you without using GG/Sonar? I have GG but Sonar is disabled, chatmix doesn’t work and it’s the only thing I miss from my Arctis 7s

Stupid. I’m running PEACE equalizer which makes them sound way better but it conflicts with sonar so I guess I’m never using chatmix again. Not sure why it’s not just all done in hardware like before

I listen to music frequently on my PC and value the higher quality over the annoyances of sonar. I had many times where sonar audio devices flat out wouldn’t work properly and required a restart or reinstall to fix, and I got tired of it. I don’t find sonar provides any benefit over peace other than chatmix, and I don’t care about being able to hear footsteps 2.5% more clearly

Interesting. Everything I read from Steelseries basically said the knob just changes the chatmix within sonar, so idk how it’d work without it. Might need to give it a try
