Ive had the black one, 7x I think, for years now. Because it works on Xbox and PS5.
I just got the SteelSeries Arctis 7 wireless for Xbox…. I was pissed about spending $200 but I also wasn’t into spending $120 on another meh set. Holy crap, they are worth it. Amazing sounds, not sure how much the “WZ” setting optimizes for it but I’m sure it helps, and they are comfortable and sound good. Can toggle chat vs game volume and since I am a casual player, I can stream my podcasts (also can toggle between that and game sounds) and actually listen to a pod while playing….i dropped over 20 in almost every game of casuals I played doing this which for me is a good game and I had no issues hearing people and making moves off sound while simultaneously listening to a pod. Game changing. Anyway, I just got them but did alot of research cause Xbox sucks with their compatibility and I am super super happy with the steel series arctis 7. Edit: coming from hyper clouds, these blow them away. Also the turtle beach I wanted to like for the sale but they feel cheap and are not comfortable and that had me easily spending the $50 more. I saw future regret with them after just trying on.
Arctis 7X but shopping for in-ear options
I know this is not really the same but I have old headset which is steel series artic 7x. Anyone know how they compare. I ordered the h3x
Thanks. Yeah they were good back when I got them but idk how they changed. The wireless is nice but I just want to be able to hear footsteps and stuff better. They are good but some hear them much better than me. H3x shipped so we will see.
No, I downgraded from the Nova Pro Wireless to the 7X. The only loss was the Line-In from my PC's speakers. Otherwise, the audio quality on the 7Xs are fine, the wireless range is no worse, and I don't have to worry about the shitty durability of Steelseries, where your $300 headset breaks after 1-2 years.
I have the old version of the steel series 7 Xbox edition, I really like it, chatmix (a volume slider on the headset to change gane audio vs chat audio) is very handy when you friend gets loud or the game does. the only con you the version I have is that it's micro USB for charging not USB c like the new ones. the other con is it was more expensive than the stands arctis 7, but I don't think that's the case in the current generation. it did have a toggle between Xbox/PC so it would work on my phone, switch, and PC.
