"I can hear the smallest of sounds when I play pretty darn well."
"And compared to what I had of audio stuff, it's exceptional, but I agree it could be better, I can now hear details and bass but I see that it lacks in subbase and highest highs, but clarity is good and having lows and highs at the same time doenst make the details dissappear."
"the headset also has spatial sound (just remember to turn it on in the software!)"

"I bought them more than for audio quality for versatility, I played switch and pc at that time, and wanted discord while I played so I got this ones that can have dual audio from the dongle and Bluetooth."

"only downside is that after a while (2+ hours for me I think) it does get a bit uncomfortable on the ears ... idk why but I think its cuz the ear cups are a bit small."

"the highs are a bit wonky ... can't pinpoint the issue but there is a little something making the audio a touch weird."

"It’s a pain in the ass to have to set sonar as the primary source every time."
Adjustabler 1.0I’ve been gaming on my PS5 with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P for a few months and it’s been solid.
Alternative_Cup9097 1.0Eh. I ended up with the Arctis and not bad. Still miss my Astros but more control and better audio with Arctis. Mic quality on my end is kinda ass and it sometimes disconnects when I first turn the PS5 on.
Altruistic-Low-4726 1.0I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P on my PS5 and it’s been the sweet spot for me.
Atomheartmother90 1.0As someone who owns wireless nova 7’s and wired 7 pros, no fucking way would I spend 600 on these. Sonar GG is arguably one of the worst peripheral softwares on the market and I won’t spend another dollar on steelseries until they develop something better
brunostborsen 1.0I went from gaming headset to a DT770 about 10 years ago, went through all sorts of different headphones, amp stacks and went down the rabbit hole for a bit. A couple years ago I sold my DT1770 and Schiit stack in favor of the Audeze Maxwell. great headset but it has some issues. Not at all as good as the hype wants you to believe.(Music is amazing, gaming is OK, Durability of those drivers is shit, software is even shittier) Started using that at work for music listening and calls instead and got a basic Steel Series Arctis Nova 7 at home. Also decent, especially for the price. Recently I got an audio interface to fuck around with my guitars and amp plugins. And I tried my old DT770s again through that. The sound is so much clearer so I’m back to using studio headphones again. Thinking I’m gonna get the DT700 and throw those old DT770’s back into my drawer, always nice with a backup I guess.
CashEquity 1.0I’ve bounced between a few PS5 headsets and the one that’s stuck with me is the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P.
Collier1505 1.0I have the Arctis Nova 7 and there is no RGB. Only light is the microphone being red when you have it muted.
Deeiv16 1.0I have had the SteelSeries for more than 3 years and they are perfect, they sound good and they are very comfortable even when wearing glasses (for me it is important)
No, the microphone works correctly, when I play no one complains about the microphone
Different-Promise-45 1.0honestly you can’t really go wrong with most of those.cos most wireless headsets sound good enough for ps5 anyway. but the real difference shows after a few hours of wearing them. stuff like clamp pressure, padding, and headband weight make or break long sessions. also check how each handles cross device use. some headsets (like the nova 7p) make switching between console and pc or phone easy. also [this guy](https://medium.com/@bnazir592/my-pc-setup-journey-wireless-headsets-were-the-hardest-part-to-nail-down-53f6c38dfef6) started building a pc and grabbed some dope components. like the corsair keyboard and asus monitor. he also picked the steelseries nova for the headset. so you can also check what he has to say about it. the sony pulse 3d sounds nice but has weaker battery and doesn’t feel as comfy for marathon gaming. if you play late at night or share a space then closed back designs help a ton. cos they keep sound from leaking and block background noise better. and whatever you get, just update the firmware before judging the mic quality. cos a lot of them improve after patches.
dinosaur1221 1.0Steel series makes some absolutely amazing headsets. I have used hyper x, Corsair, turtle beach, the original ps head set, Logitech, and the one that stood out the most and I have never put down is the steel series arctis nova 7.
