"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."
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
