"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"

"It's been awesome for the month i've had mine and is able to connect to xbox/ps5 at the same time as your PC and can have dual-channel audio going on at the same time."
"easy to... pair with 2 devices at once. ... I use it to connect with my pc and my iPhone and it handles the audio switch really well."
"internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi"

"I went on an 18 mile hike today on technical trails and they felt like air on my feet"
"Regarding the treble, definitely an improvement compared to the ZS10 PRO X; They are not sharp like their ancestor, they are well detailed, but they do not penetrate your ear causing that characteristic discomfort. It's so soft to hear the cymbals sizzle after the beat, but without that feeling of penetration."
"The audio is also 20% better with OpenDots One, as they have dual drivers on each side. ... At 50% volume and below, I would say I could not distinguish the audio quality compare to my semi in ear buds. ... If you are just listening to podcast and non heavy bass music, even at high volume, the quality is very good and it could easily drown the surrounding noise (somewhat ANC). ... it's far better in sound quality and comfort compared to the C40i. ... these are worth the upgrade based on audio, comfort and call quality."

"The big PLUS for me on these compared to the Novas is that they have recessed 4kHz - it reduces fatigue and it’s not harsh on the ears. Especially with those high pitch gunshots and flash bangs."
"excellent imaging for FPS games ... SteelSeries has better imaging"
"I can hear more things than everyone i play with - footsteps etc.."

"And the AI they advertise actually works. ... With my gen 2s people could hear my dogs bark in the other room and now they can’t."

"Footsteps are terrible"
"everything is muffled regardless of which eq setting you use."
"The Nova pro doesn't and if I use my IEM's in the line out jack and swap to them they're max fucking volume. And I can't change that unless I bypass the base station."

"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."
"Software/WebApp being WAY better than Razer software. Its much easier to configure Wooting, set profiles, etc."
00death 1.0The Arctis 7P+. Most comfortable headset ever. I’ve had a nova in the past and the ear cups are smaller and less comfortable, hurt my ears after a bit.
AccomplishedOyster 1.0The 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+.

aerondight24 1.0Not sure about that buddy. But 7P+ is using a USB-C dongle which works on my Mac too.
aknimation 1.07P+ for sure! I have had these for years and they are super comfortable, great battery life, and long lasting. I use them daily and they still look and feel great.
amans9191 1.0Out of those 3 specifically? Arctic 7P+
Anduil_94 1.0I have the 7P+ and can vouch for it. Best headset I’ve owned.
AngryNoodlezzz 1.0I went with the Arctic 7P+ and it's held me up so long—it still technically works til this day however I regularly use the Pulse Explores just due to the sheer convenience (with an obviously lower sound quality).
AR2302 1.0Currently using 7p+, nothing to complain except for the pick up noice
ArcadianWaheela 1.0Haven’t tried the Arctic Nova 7P, but I have tried the 7P+ and Pulse Elite and 1000% recommend the 7P+. I’ve been using it for a few years and It’s genuinely been fantastic. Holds charge for a long time so I don’t really charge it that often and the spacial awareness on it has been great. It’s also super comfortable and I haven’t had any issues wearing it for 4-6 hours at a time. Having the option to also hear around you is very nice incase you need to multi task. It also helps it’s the cheapest option while also, imo being the best!
aserashrafkamal 1.0Audio differences between the Nova and the 7P+ are minimal. I owned the 7P+ before I upgraded to the nova and let me tell you the two major points that I noticed were better. 1: The fabric headband that the 7P+ uses gets stretched out over time and needs replacing, whereas on the Nova you can buy rubber ones and you won’t have the same issue. 2: The Novas support simultaneous 2.4 ghz and Bluetooth connections. So you can have it connected to both a PS5 and a phone and hear audio from both simultaneously. There’s also the fact that with the 7P+, you have to connect it to your PC to mess with its audio settings and adjust its EQ. I’m told the Gen 2 Novas now have mobile app support. I’d go with Nova
