SteelSeries Arctis 7 - Lossless Wireless Gaming Headset with DTS Headphone: X v2.0 Surround - for PC and PlayStation 4 - Black

I was in the market looking for a new gaming headset that wasn't going to break the bank. I was able to snag these for around low 100s and pulled the trigger on them! I have heard many great things about this headset, but I wanted to really try them for myself and see if I liked them. After a year of using these bad boys, I can definitely say it was worth all $100! I think the sound quality is good enough, especially for the price of $100. My favorite thing about this headset is the simple/easy bluetooth connection. I leave the dongle connected to my PC and anytime I want to use my headset I just turn them on and they're prepared to go! The headset is built pretty nicely, very sturdy & strong build. The ear cushion is pretty cozy, I have definitely worn this headset for 4 hours straight gaming. Absolutely no complaints, it's really well-built and nice! The only issue I would have with this headset is that sometimes it loses connection on initial set up & the battery life is aite... I use this headset pretty often so I can see why the battery life has been diminished. I charge mine after every use because I like the portability aspect of it being wireless. If this is a deal breaker for you, the Arctic 7 pros comes with an additional battery for you to swap while the other one is charging. Only regret I have on this headset is that I didn't wait long enough to get the white ones :(. Other than that! Absolutely A1 headset for gaming!

Wireless Headsets I went through before keeping this one: (problem from memory in parentheses) HyperX Cloud Flight - Bought/Returned (pressed ears slightly?) Corsair HS70 - Bought/Returned (pressed ears) Corsair Void Pro - Tried in-store (pressed ears) Logitech G533 - Tried in-store (clunky, harsh cups) Razer Nari - Bought/Returned (heavy) Astro A20 - Tried in-store (pressed ears) Sony Gold Wireless Headset (late 2018 updated version) - Tried in-store (pressed ears) Bluetooth aptX Headsets (we'll get into why later if you're interested): TaoTronics TT-BH036 - Bought/Returned (latency) Avantree HT4189 - Bought/Returned (latency, clamping force, pressed ears) Comfort: This is the most common reason I returned/did not purchase many of the previously mentioned headsets. I apparently have a very weird head. I'm super sensitive to shallow cups (ears stick out causing pain if pressed for a long time) and clamping force (big head causes headaches if squeezed for very long). Heavy headsets can still "squeeze" my head due to weight on top of my head even if they don't have much clamping force on the sides. Due to this, I feel confident that I am as critical as it gets as far as headset comfort goes. The Arctis 7 was kept because it did not cause discomfort when wearing for many hours. There is a caveat: As it comes in the box, it has too much clamping force for me. Luckily, the headband is made out of "sheet metal" and an adjustable strap. The strap can be loosened to let the headset contact as much of the top of your head as possible (distributing weight to remove pressure points). The metal band can be bent backwards to reduce how hard it squeezes your head. I found a forum post somewhere made by an acclaimed Steelseries employee who advised this, so that is what I did, and it worked great. Just be gentle, do it a little at a time, eventually it will be perfect! There is no padding on the interior of the cups which scared me as I usually need it, but these cups do not touch my ears somehow so it is not required. Latency: This is more of a side note for the bluetooth headsets. Most everyone knows that bluetooth headsets will have higher latency than headsets with proprietary wireless transmitters. What some don't know is that there is a variant of bluetooth protocol that aims to correct this, it is called "aptX". To use it, both your transmitting and receiving devices must be aptX enabled. I will admit, the latency was very low for the aptX bluetooth headphones. When watching videos it was unnoticeable, however when playing an FPS, it was very very soft but it was there. Switching over to my wired headset confirmed this. If you are going for a wireless headset for gaming, you currently must get one designed for it. The Arctis 7 does not have noticeable latency, nor did any of the other gaming headsets I tried. Speaker Quality: I'm definitely not an audiophile but I have higher than average taste in sound. This headset sounds nice. I have not played with the EQ, but I may try to turn up the lows a little bit. Mic Quality: It's wireless, and a gaming headset, so it is what it is. It seems to pick up more depth to the sound than other mics, your voice won't sound as flat, however I suppose this comes at a cost on background noise cancellation as it seems a little more prevalent in this headset than others. Construction: This is one of the more well-built units I've got my hands on. Time will tell how it holds up, but the build quality seems upper-tier. Battery: I can't comment on this, but I highly advise that you get some magnetic micro usb cables. Basically, the cable becomes two pieces. You plug a little micro usb dongle in your headset and then you can connect the corresponding cable any way around. The dongle and cable magnetically snap together. Makes plugging the headset in so easy that you won't ever be conflicted with "should I fumble with the connector or should I skip charging for now and just do it later". Any time I set the headset down, I charge it, because it's super easy to do so now. Therefore I will never be able to comment on batter life. If you too are plagued by comfort issues, and maybe do not want to go wireless just yet (cost being the only reason I can think of), I would highly recommend the HyperX Cloud Silver. They're not cheap but they are worth it. To this day they are the most comfortable headset I have ever worn, with good sound and great build quality.

I came from the wired world and have 5-6 well-regarded headsets. But as I was playing more games, I was getting annoyed at the wires so I decided to make the plunge. After a ton of research (and black friday pricing), I purchased these headphones with low expectations. I was wrong. I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of wires, or because the headphones are actually that great, but THESE HEADPHONES ARE GREAT. First, the basics are solid. The sound is definitely NOT top-tier, but honestly just for daily music, gaming, and YouTube, it is great enough that it really doesn't bother me at all. I have other headphones that do sound better but honestly, these are so great that I have not once even LOOKED at them. Yes, audiophiles can hate me, but whatever. My one caveat though is to try not to play music insanely loud in these, as the quality seems to not be as high once you get past the "i want to feel like I'm hugging a speaker at a concert" volume level, and the highs seem to be a bit shrill and painful. Second, the functionality is incredible. As a person who uses Discord, having the functionality to balance Game sounds & Chat sounds with a dial is just... inspired. All the core functionality is easily accessible. The ONE downside of this is that they're placed in a location that is easy to accidentally trigger when you're just putting on / taking off your headphones, meaning your volume levels may be changed by accident. I do this, unfortunately, fairly often. Third, wireless. I've judged you wrongly. I'll never go back. The freedom I felt when I went to another room to get a glass of water while still chatting was surreal (though, admittedly kind of stupid in hindsight). Quality never dropped off, sound seems just as fast, and taking on/off my headphones isn't annoying anymore. The one downside is that the charging cable and port has typical charging cable and port issues, so I wish there were a wireless charging option - that would blow my mind. In summary, get it. It's a fantastic all-rounder with some issues, but overall for me outweighs any of my wired headphones I've ever owned in 95% of situations.

[PACKAGING] Nulla da eccepire nell'imballaggio e spedizione fornita da Amazon. Per quanto riguarda lo scatolo delle cuffie è molto minimal senza troppi fronzoli a livello di grafica. (foto 1) All'interno troviamo le SteelSeries Arctis 7 dotate di connettività wireless, trasmettitore wireless USB che permette una volta accese le cuffie, di muoverci in un certo raggio d'azione senza problemi (questa è la vera chicca di non avere il collegamento con il filo), cavetto microUSB per la ricarica, jack da 3.5 mm e libretto istruzioni. (foto 2) [QUALITA' COSTRUTTIVA] Queste cuffie sono di fascia alta, pesano circa 350 gr e sono costruite con materiali robusti! Sono provviste di padiglioni con memory foam e non stancano neanche dopo 8 ore. Se vogliamo trovare il pelo nell'uovo è che per me i padiglioni stando a contatto diverse ore con le orecchie fanno leggermente sudare se portate a lungo. In più hanno una fascia elastica che si adatta ad ogni tipo di testa che si regola come una maschera da sci. Sono dotate poi di un microfono retrattile che con il bottone lato sinsitro si accende e si spegne (quando è spento si accenderà un led di colore rosso). LA CHICCA: le cuffie in modalità wireless hanno un'autonomia di 24h, posso confermare ciò perché le ho utilizzate 2 giorni per circa 20 ore totali e mi dava ancora circa 20% rimanente di batteria. Ma quanto ci mettono a caricarsi? Sorprendentemente in circa 20 minuti non saranno cariche al massimo ma il led si colorerà di verde il che significherà una percentuale alta di autonomia, quindi TOP! [QUALITA' AUDIO] Queste cuffie hanno una qualità veramente alta, ovviamente si consiglia di scaricare il programma annesso "SteelSeries GG" per ottimizzare meglio i suoni e farle diventare 7.1. Oppure potete scaricare direttamente "Dolby Atmos", un programma simile a quello sopra ma molto più performante. Il microfono ha una qualità ottima, il suono è chiaro, non ha fronzoli nè si sentono fruscii forse uno dei migliori provati su un paio di cuffie. Con questo vi consiglio di provarle perché sono cuffie veramente ben costruite con qualità audio definita e chiara.

te puedo decir que estos audifonos se encuentran en mi top 5 por las siguientes razonas: PRO: - diseno ergonimico - super ligeros - sabiendo acomodarlos son hiper comodos y pareciera que no tienes headset puestos - sonido es muy bueno y se puede configurar de acuerdo a tus gustos - la duracion de bateria cerca de 8 -12 horas de uso -el microfono te puedo decir que es el mejor que tengo, te escuchan super claro y sin nada de ruido - puedes conectarlo por el aux a tu cel y se esuchan bien, obvio su punto fuerte es el wireless - el diseno es muy bonito y traen variso accesorios Contr - un poco de mas bajos no le caerían mal - al aplicacion de steel series se me hizo buena pero le pueden mejorar - la calidad del cable del creceptor pueden mejorarlo mucho En resumeen si los encuentras en oferta abajo de 2500 no dudes en comprarlos, enserio no te arrepentiras, facil compite con los kingston superandolos en varios puntos

Ist super leicht und hat einen guten Akku. Bin absolut zufrieden

Great sound quality and mic quality. Be aware - give it a chance. I was very used to some old headphones and it took a few days to get used to them. After that they have been amazing and I have used them for over 1 year. Very durable and very long battery life. good range - sometimes disconnects unexplainably when on low battery and you will need to restart the sound driver/ pc to reconnect. If it gets that low battery, its your fault anyway as it will warn you repeatedly

Ohne Übertreibung ist dieses Headset einfach das beste was in dem Preissegment zu finden ist. Verarbeitung ist super und sieht gut aus. Angenehm über mehrere Stunden zu tragen, Akkulaufzeiten ca. 20 Stunden passt. Der Sound ist ein Genuss am PC und kann durch die Software angepasst werden. Vorallem ist es Software die ohne zicken funktioniert, was bei vielen Headset Anbietern nicht selbstverständlich ist. Mikro kann ich nicht viel zu sagen da ich ein richtiges benutze. Die kurzen Erfahrungen im TS waren aber ok und ich war gut verständlich.
