"Uninstall their software. Just get your os to recognize the audio input and output and get rid of their trash. ... Worked for me as their software was awful and causing issues like you described."

"auto-shutting off while playing audio ... If I don't run steelseries GG, it'll default to the setting that is shuts down after 30 minutes. ... The only way to circumvent that bullshit then, is to actively use the microphone, that registers as "being used". Not the fucking fact that there's audio playing through the headphone :( ... I sometimes manage to get the auto-shutdown to 'never' via a profile in steelseries GG, but it usually only works a limited time :("

"Build feels pretty cheap especially the headset controls and microphone ... It’s one of the cheapest feeling headsets I’ve ever had. ... Overall build quality is poor."
"my friends don’t like the mic (which I think is due to the mic being so short/away from my mouth) ... Mic doesn’t extend far enough and sounds like shit."
"Whenever I use discord, everyone says my voice sounds awful. ... I basically love the headset, hate the mic."

"poor longevity"
The 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.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->Artis 7+ Steel Series fits over the psvr2 perfectly. Great headset
r/PSVR • PSVR2 what headphones do you use? ->In fact, I just switched from a 2017 SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless to the Fractal Design Scape. The Arctis was already mechanically worn out and I've already replaced the ear pads 5 times. I've tried several headsets over the last few years, but none of them have convinced me to give up the Arctis 7. The Scape surprises me. Comfortable to wear, good sound quality, decent battery life and then there's RGB. The charging cradle is the best thing about it.
r/FractalDesign • Fractal Design Scape - First Impressions ->The 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+.

r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->I am using steel as well. Cost vs performance is good IMO.
r/OverwatchUniversity • Recommended Headset with 300 USD ->Not sure about that buddy. But 7P+ is using a USB-C dongle which works on my Mac too.
r/playstation • I need recommendations for a PS5 headset, I don’t mind spending a lot of money, what are your best suggestions? ->Ive had the black one, 7x I think, for years now. Because it works on Xbox and PS5.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->my arctis 7s from 2019 are starting to feel it's age and i'm looking at a new headset. * **Budget -** roughly 270 euro or 2000 dkk * **Country? -** Denmark * **Platform? -** PC * **Motherboard if on pc (or other audio gear)? -** Z790 UD AX * **Requested Guide:** Gaming Headset(AIO) * **Open back or closed back? -** Doesn't matter Have looked at both the Arctis Nova Pro or the Audeze Maxwell. Must have is chat / game mix
r/Gaming_Headsets • Monthly Recommendation Thread + LifelongCaboose's Gaming Audio Guide Links + Megathreads ->7P+ 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.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->I got the 7p for $100 and I love it.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
