Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2

Hello! You get diminishing returns very quickly, so it depends what you value. At the $200 range, Nova 7 Gen 2 and Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 are the best picks for FPS. The Blackshark V3 Pro (newest version) has some improvements at the $250 range like ANC and simultaneous BT which is nice. It can also save multiple on board EQ profiles. For $300 and FPS, I still think the Astro A50 Gen 5 is an amazing option, and still my go to. The stock pads are a little small, but I made my own called the StealthZ pad, sold by WickedCushions. The A50 Gen 5 takes full parametric EQ and has a class-leading mic and bass response. It handles EQ really well. The Nova Pro Wirless is still a great option to this day, but the mic performance is just okay, and as you said, EQ is more limited but still very capable. Overall I think you'd be performing at a very similar level with any of these. It comes down to preference on design and features. Nova Pro has leatherette pads and ANC with more isolation, whereas the A50 is very open sounding (does not block external noise).

I use the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2. They’re comfortable to wear and have decent sound and battery life. The app is solid, especially with its variety of game-specific sound presets. Also, the dual-device connectivity (via Bluetooth and the USB dongle on my PS5) isn't strictly a necessity, but it’s definitely a 'nice-to-have' feature. Since mentioned Nova Pro Wireless considered as even more advanced option it definetely has to be a good choice.

We have this one https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-7-gen-2?color=black And the Pro. https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro After further discussion in the house the consensus is the 7X is better in general but the Pro with noise cancelling and a PC connected DAC sounds much better.

My husband and I both love our Steel Series Arctis Novas! We have the 7X Gen 2. Bought them based on a recommendation from a guy at Microcenter after my (third) Razer headset gave out, and I could not be happier. The employee told us he’s had almost every version of the SS headsets and has never been disappointed, and I totally believe it.

I switched from the hyper x cloud 3 to the artic 7 gen 2 and I love them. They are great for story games and as someone who works from home and wears them all day they are comfy. I can also have them connect to my laptop and my work laptop at the same time and it can play audio from both sources at the same time.

I’ve used the hyper x cloud for a long time. Just recently purchased the steel series artic 7 gen 2 snd j move them. I love the duel connection. I work from home full time and i can ise them on mu work laptop and my personal laptop or phone at the same time.

I've purchased 3 headsets specifically to play Hunt and here's my thoughts #1 Title Beach Atlas Elite Best sound quality I've used, hands down. There's no fine tuning since it's an older headset but it's never needed it. This version is wired and the wire has some issues so I'd go for the wireless Aero version if available. Build quality is flawed in one area and plastic will crack after about 12-16 months of daily use. #2 Razer Kiara Decent headset with a snappy double door wireless connection. It can be linked to with an app and it's adjustable. I use it for casual gaming because I couldn't get used to footstep sound distance no matter what I adjusted. #3 Arctic Silver 7 Just don't. Especially for the price. The sound is very small and tin-like. It's adjustable but bad bass rumble completes with the tin footsteps and it's impossible to hear any distinct sounds. They're also uncomfortable for too small ear cup size . Note: I was just looking at the TB Stealth 700 Gen 3 to replace my current TB in using. Since it has bigger drivers and just as comfortable fit I think it'll be the best headset.

Get the Steelseries Nova 7. Cannot recommend them enough. Excellent mic, noice cancelling and they are comfortable. Bonus points if you take the wireless. They can last up to 3 days of constant use
