SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 7X Wireless

Hello, i‘m using the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X (X is for xbox, so just ignore that) and i‘m using it since launch (2022) and hell no, i‘m not going to replace it anytime soon. It has the Battery Life of god, sound quality is crispy clear and light weight as a feather. I can recommend that. Btw there‘s a difference between „Steelseries Arctis“ and „Steelseries Arctis Nova“ - the „Nova“-Headsets are the „reboots“ if the original arctis-line.

get him a pair of Steelseries Arctis Nova 7x, i think it's cheaper now

I've got a full on 7.2.2 home theater in my house, a dedicated 2.0 vinyl setup and ~$1000 in headphone/amp/dac setup at my computer. Basically, most people would consider me an audiophile and I have lots of experience with higher tier audio. All that being said, 95% of the time I'm at my computer, I'm using my Steelseries Nova 7X instead and am very pleased with the way it sounds. The pretty decent sound quality, battery life and ease of use of wireless (being able to walk around and still talk to the buds) is so much better for what I'm doing on a computer the vast majority of the time. I pretty much only use the "audiophile" headphone setup when I'm truly sitting down for an intense listening session. Otherwise it's the Nova's getting used. I also have a $200 Shure MV6 standalone mic attached to my desk that hasn't been used in months. Does it make me sound better than the Nova's? Sure. Is it enough improvement to justify being glued to my desk to talk when I'm in discord or whatever? Nope.

I think the Stealth 600 is better. I got the Nova 7x and returned it in a week. Got a Stealth 700 instead and I can't tell you enough how good it is!

Nova 7P has a much larger and more accurate sound stage and also gets much louder than the 7P+ will in my opinion. I have the 7P+ and the Nova 7X which to my knowledge is essentially the same headset with the option to change the chat balance because you can on Xbox but it isn’t supported on the PS5. I started using my 7P’s with my PS5 pro because I’m not using my Xbox anymore and it was a healthy upgrade compared to my 7P+….

i have arctis nova 7x they suck ass! Get the corsairs if yhose are your only two options

To add to this the gen 1 blemished box is $100 less and the only difference between the gen 1 and 2 is app control and battery life.

Thanks I'm leaning towards the 7P+ because I've heard the build quality on the pulse elites is terrible along with connection issues. I'm having a hard time telling the difference between the arctis 7p+ and the Nova 7p.

Yeah I'm going to wait for Black Friday just trying to figure out which one to get. I can't tell the difference between the arctis 7p+ and Nova 7 besides the Nova having bluetooth.

I ordered the 7x+ and Nova 7x to try them both and I'll just return or gift the one I don't like. But same thought is to use them on PS5 and xsx. I have the razer kaira pro for my x that I love but I find the sound get crackly at times.

If you never wanna buy a headset again, go for Steel Series Nova 7X. Multipurpose and yet built for Xbox. You can listen to music off your phone via Bluetooth while being connected to your Xbox for gaming. You can easily adjust volumes, mute, has a retractable mic, and insanely comfortable. I'll use mine for music all day and forget I have them on because they so comfy. You can also plug them into a PC to fine tune it and update it. You can mess with so many audio settings.

It would be helpful if you could list your preference for wireless or wired, and a rough idea of your budget and what region you're in. But personally, I recommend the Steelseries Arctis 5X or 7X. Steelseries makes several headsets in their Arctis Nova line, but the ones with the X next the number are Xbox compatible. I think they're a much better headset than the official Xbox Wireless headset, the biggest one being compatibility. The Official Xbox wireless headset is convenient in that it connects to the console using the Xbox Proprietary Wireless Protocol, so you pair it to the console like a controller. You can also pair it to a phone at the same time for music and taking phone calls. The Steelseries Arctis Nova 5X and 7X headsets come with a wireless USB dongle that you need to plug in the console, but the benefit of this is that they work on waaaay more than just Xbox. They are one of the few headsets that works on all platforms, meaning it can be used on Xbox One/Series, Playstation 4/5, Switch/Switch 2, PC, android, etc. On top of that, while the Nova 5X lets you toggle between the transmitter and bluetooth, the 7X supports simultaneous bluetooth like the Xbox headset does, so you can pair it to a phone and take calls while you are gaming. They also both have excellent battery life, and my favourite feature: they have retractable boom mics. That means when you're not gaming, you can tuck the boom mic into the headset and they look like normal headphones that you can use for things other than gaming.

I'd recommend the Arctis Nova 7X then. Seems to be sold on amazon for a very good price. They also work wired or wirelessly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/SteelSeries-Arctis-Nova-7X-Multi-System/dp/B0B7X8M694

Oh, forgot to mention, in another comment you mentioned that you were very interested in on-headset game/chat volume balancing. The Arctis Nova 7X also have this feature. There are two wheels on the headset: one for volume, and one for game/chat balance. Hope that helps!
