SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 7P Wireless (61559)

I’ve been gaming on my PS5 with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P for a few months and it’s been solid.

saw that ppl dont rly like turtle beach on a site called reddit vetted (it scraped a ton of reddit reviews) so i wouldnt recc that. they look good on paper but break or the mic dies way too often according to a lot of folks. from your list the safest picks are the steelseries 7P or the hyperx cloud alpha wireless. 7P is just stupid comfy and super consistent on ps5. mic isn’t amazing but the overall sound and battery and comfort combo is hard to beat. cloud alpha wireless is the opposite vibe kinda bulky but the battery legit lasts forever and the sound is more fun for games

Eh. I ended up with the Arctis and not bad. Still miss my Astros but more control and better audio with Arctis. Mic quality on my end is kinda ass and it sometimes disconnects when I first turn the PS5 on.

I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P on my PS5 and it’s been the sweet spot for me.

Steelseries 7p or 7x probably gonna be your best bet and finding them used will be even cheaper. There are others id recommended but there over 100

I’ve bounced between a few PS5 headsets and the one that’s stuck with me is the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P.

I have had the SteelSeries for more than 3 years and they are perfect, they sound good and they are very comfortable even when wearing glasses (for me it is important)

honestly you can’t really go wrong with most of those.cos most wireless headsets sound good enough for ps5 anyway. but the real difference shows after a few hours of wearing them. stuff like clamp pressure, padding, and headband weight make or break long sessions. also check how each handles cross device use. some headsets (like the nova 7p) make switching between console and pc or phone easy. also [this guy](https://medium.com/@bnazir592/my-pc-setup-journey-wireless-headsets-were-the-hardest-part-to-nail-down-53f6c38dfef6) started building a pc and grabbed some dope components. like the corsair keyboard and asus monitor. he also picked the steelseries nova for the headset. so you can also check what he has to say about it. the sony pulse 3d sounds nice but has weaker battery and doesn’t feel as comfy for marathon gaming. if you play late at night or share a space then closed back designs help a ton. cos they keep sound from leaking and block background noise better. and whatever you get, just update the firmware before judging the mic quality. cos a lot of them improve after patches.

I tried a few headset last month (PC gaming) SteelSeries Nova 7P, Audiotechnica M50X, Benedynamic DT880 Pro, and HyperX cloud 2. These are my opinion as day-to-day game and music enjoyer. Not an audiophile. I’m using EQ with Steel series GG - Sonar. Nova 7 and hyperX are wireless and closed back. M50X (closed back) and DT 880 pro (semi-open-back) are wired. I settled down for HyperX cloud 2 (upgraded with wicked cushion) for wireless and DT 880 pro for wired with DAC. Nova 7 is awesome, but it falls short on 2 pain points - too small for my head and plastic hinges. I fear I’ll break it in months from my daily usage/abuse. Otherwise they are terrific. M50X is also good with crystal clear sounds… but I prefer open back of the DT880 Pro more. DT880 Pro also has bigger ear cushion, more comfortable long gaming session. Purely personal preference. HyperX cloud 2 works wonders for me. Good sound and bass. Even better when used with EQ. When compared to Nova 7, it has better omph bass in wireless mode (nova 7 is a beast when plugged in). DT 880 pro is my spare for when the hyperX ran out of battery or when I need a better sound for movie immersive-ness. It just works. As your partner wanting wireless, give HyperX and SteelSeries a try. They are both closed back with good reviews. YMMW. These are under $150. If you can spend $200+ then there are other tier of headset that’s outside of my budget range.

I’ve used a couple of those headsets with my PS5 and the one that’s stuck with me is the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P.
