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.
5hokx 1.0In 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.
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+.

AcguyDance 1.0I am using steel as well. Cost vs performance is good IMO.
aerondight24 1.0Not sure about that buddy. But 7P+ is using a USB-C dongle which works on my Mac too.
AffectionateLaugh738 1.0Ive had the black one, 7x I think, for years now. Because it works on Xbox and PS5.
AHMilling 1.0my 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
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.
alainreid 0.6I got the 7p for $100 and I love it.
Aldunas 1.0I’ve had arctics 7 for 5 years but recently the ear piece started to break and eventually they were beyond repair. They were the best headphones I’ve ever had so I bought an exact same piece. The audio in left year broke after 1 month. I switched them to new ones thanks to warranty but those broke again within a month. I exchanged them again on a warranty and so far it’s been good for 3 months. Take it as you will. Just sharing my experience
