SteelSeries - Arctis 7 (2019 Edition)

I’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

i used the steelseries arctis 7 for the longest time. I went with them because they used a ski band for the head which relieved a lot of pressure and headaches a traditional headset would cause (for me at least). Great audio quality, wireless, and ok ish mic.

If you can find them for a good price the audeze maxwell i would 100% recommend. Honestly ive used most of the high end gaming headsets and there sound and EQ just have so many issues. Ill also add the build quality tend to break or Fall apart in the same areas. But I'd probably go with arctis 7 line for consoles as the arctis nova pros just arent worth the price.

Yeah Idk my steel series lasts for like 8 hours and it comes with two batteries so I always have one ready to go on the dock... Voice sounds great. It's like anything else, some things are shit some aren't.

I've also owned these [steelseries](https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Lossless-Wireless-Headset-Headphone/dp/B07FZVXS8H?crid=2PMKWIKNC0DLC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wPgcwh6NAl7NQOTSI7s6kSvxOI5j_PqrLqrNlQyKjna0OgAaDhwz6pDEv6vkYhvnhqjin72dtupeQPPd-ScL_MaWOOXChnx2KM9HkTeT2I2zpLoc-kAV_rOo7s2S2PMbEYNo_sNNxjVlZ3hySbtp5F0d4UfKOk_NFeTBcyRhah4BJsjnmkYNGOKH4C6AkzdbuHtvNeybKwk0-vdRtunkS1FbglS2JHO0-kuaVJoBUbc.BboCU4A8tpw6vRxLefzLzB1Vm4Z1IOxuGDEZrF7E8hg&dib_tag=se&keywords=arctis+nova+7&qid=1737579693&sprefix=arctis+nova+%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-14) bought for 150 several years ago. But the receiver in the headset got broken by my cheap microwave that leaked waves into the air nearby it lol. Definitely sounded better and had better mic quality than my Hyperx wireless headset was also more comfortable, but the cloth band weakened over time and didn't have as good of overall build quality as the new Arctis Nova headsets. But they sound a little bit better

I will have to dispute this one, sorry. While stealseries headphones are super comfy. I find the audio range is quite lacking. Just extra bass added to everything

I had a blackshark and loved it until the hinges disintegrated on me. I currently have the steelseries and it's... Okay? Noise canceling is useless on it. Software is ass. Other than that it's pretty good. The hot swappable batteries is neat. If I could go back I'd probably get the Audeze Maxwell. However they're heavy and a little unwieldy (I tried my friends on).

My SteelSeries Arctis 7 headphones have served me loyally the last 9 years and other than one transmitter replaced under warranty they've been flawless. Not sure the current price of the newer model but I've had good luck with almost all my SteelSeries accessories

I loved the Artic 7s for so long, in fact, I liked them so much that I bought an extra one for when mine went out, which eventually it did like 2 years later (I bought them when they were just starting out). So those lasted another 2 years or so (I don't baby them and travel sometimes so it is what it is). They were $100 dollars or so at the time and amazing. I have had the new 7s for a few months now and Idk the mic is different and it just does not feel as good quality, they made them a little smaller and it just does not feel right. I am disappointed in them.

Don't get studio headphones. They are for listening to and producing music, but they don't sound "good" they sound "accurate". What's the difference? Mostly how much your ears can take before they fatigue. Modern causal headphones have comfort and "listenable" as a key tuning concept. They are designed to be worn for hours and hours on end enjoyably. Onto recommendations, for music and gaming with a great microphone too? There's one simple suggestion; The Steelseries Arctic range. They are incredibly comfortable, sound great, have an excellent mic and come in a range of price points and features. Plus on many of them the mic slides away so they don't look so goodfy. Personal recommendation.
