I may have only had this for not even a month, but I say it flies with beautiful colors in terms of usage, ease of use, and sound. The software makes this headset unique, even if you don't use it. Physically it fits well and feels comfortable; at times, you don't even feel it, and you are just surrounded by sound and immersed in what you are listening to or watching. Sonar is an excellent software already added to the SteelSeries impressive base software. I may not know how to use the EQ effectively, but I enjoy it nonetheless. The price is high, but for a longevity headset for immersion and gamers who love to be in the action, It is worth every penny. Even using it for Discord is impressive; you can split the sound and not have to worry about messing that up by ...

The mic sounds amazing and clear, according to my teammates in discord; they even said it sounded better than a Razer Nari headset I had a while back, which was an improvement.

Purchsed this headset after my Astro A50's laid to rest after 5 years of use. I was skeptical cause i paid so much for the astros that i didnt know if these or the arctis 9 were the way to go, but i didnt wanna spend big money on a pair anymore and since these were on sale for 150 i was like hmmmmm.. anyways, long story short after downloading "Sonar" which i did have a bit of troubles with, eventually sorting it out by needing to open the install file by right clicking and "open as administrator" otherwise the install would fail after it "unpacked files". Im not super computer savy so this may have been common sense or i dont know i didnt have to ever do this before it was a wild guess to me. After all that and getting to use the GG program i started to have a bit ... MorePurchsed this headset after my Astro A50's laid to rest after 5 years of use.

After all that and getting to use the GG program i started to have a bit of fun by customizing settings and EQ's. Honestly theres A LOT of presets which is cool but im never satisfied enough with any factory set presets so i adjusted one nicely myself and honestly i used the default setting and slowly adjusted while gaming/listening to music for a happy medium, and the headphones sound great compared to my A50's. They are super fit and comfy, noticeably lighter than a50's, look pretty sleek and build quality is really nice its got a metal band over the top with a tension strap you can adjust to fit over your head for height its got very nice clamping force, ear pads are pretty thick (velour material) and they surely do a nice job of keeping sound quality in, astros needed the mod kit to produce good bass IMO. Mic is retractable from the headset and it pushes back inside with minimal force, mute is a button and the mic tip turns red. Pretty neat idea honestly it doesnt even need to be pulled out for it to work! If youre looking for a nice headset in the mid range id surely recommend these and i would buy these again.

Whenever he put them on he noticed he could barely hear himself talk. With the sound on he couldn't anything around him its a fully imersive sounds experience. The pairing distance is far.

i've been using the headset for about 3 weeks now and i can say im very happy with it. My only concern has been the joints where the headphones meet the headband as theyre kind of weak looking - but theyre solid and made out of solid material and after having the headset in hand its not much of a concern. The sound quality is great after a little bit if fine tuning in the steelseries eq software that you have to download for the headset. It doesnt sound amazing out of the box with no eq settings but its still passable but with the eq its definitely a LOT better so play around with it and get it to where you like your sound. The mic is a lot better than i had anticipated aswell. I've watched multiple reviews on the headset before deciding to purchase it and was very ...

The mic is a lot better than i had anticipated aswell. I've watched multiple reviews on the headset before deciding to purchase it and was very pleasantly surprised to find out that the mic is loads better than my previous headset mic. (hyper x cloud stinger). Given that is a budget option it makes sense, but i was under the impression wireless headsets compromise the quality of the microphone. Well that seems to be kind of false as this mic is actually very good. The only thing i would suggest is getting a little foam tip pop filter for the mic as S sounds can have a hiss to them from this mic but other than that i would say its pretty flawless. The skimask type headband also surprised me with how comfortable it is its a very comfortable headset and doesnt cause any discomfort over long periods of time. If you have a humungous head then this headset may be hard to fit on your head but the biggest setting fits me comfortably. (6'4" 210 lbs for reference with fairly sizable head). The only knock i can put on this headset is that it doesnt come with an aux cord so you can plug your phone or what have you into the receiver to listen to music while gaming at the same time. The headset also has a game/chat wheel feature which is very nice if you get into clutch moments and need to only hear the game and shut off any discord sounds in the background of loud friends or what have you. Overall this headset is worth the purchase and if youre looking at getting a new wireless headset i would recommend it as it beats headsets in terms of quality at even higher price points than this. Steelseries has done a good job with their headsets and if you get even newer models im sure they'd have improved on what they had already established. PS: Im glad i did research before ordering as the Arctis 9x and the arctis 7 are essentially the same headset but i thought higher number = better headset like a monkey brain. The sole difference is that the 9x is specifically for console whereas the 7 can be used for basically everything (could be wrong) but it works for PC and should have SOME compatibility with consoles but not full capabilities.. But the 9x is specifically FOR xbox. So if you mainly play on PC then dont even look at the 9x model.
SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless I've owned this product for roughly a month and it's been an adventure, to say the least. PROS: Sound is incredible. Extremely comfortable(The most comfortable I've ever worn). Good battery life. Great range. Good quality wireless headset. CONS: Slightly overpriced. The connectivity issues for PC gaming are absolutely mind-boggling. Works great for a day or two and then it's like trying to solve a puzzle. Each time is different. Sometimes you have to switch audio inputs via USB, restart, plug in/unplug wireless dongle, uninstall reinstall SteelSeries software or play around with audio devices on your PC. Sometimes the headset is recognized but you can't hear a thing even though your headset is recognized, connected and equalizer clearly ...

BOTTOM LINE: Great quality headset full of unsurmountable disappointment for PC gaming. This headset would be absolutely incredible if connectivity wasn't an issue. It isn't very user friendly and can be extremely frustrating. When it works, the product is absolutely amazing. I wish I would've sprung for the newer HyperX Cloud Alpha. Save yourself a lot of aggravation and go with HyperX.
Sounds good, when it works... Very comfortable and good looking headset but otherwise it's a paper weight. The microphone is poor both in sound quality and volume. Friends have me turned up 2 times as high as everyone else in the discord. I don't think I've ever written a review on anything on Best Buy but figured I would for this so you don't waste your time or money. After owning it for about a month I started to get connection issues. It would lose connection briefly while being within 2 feet of the receiver it comes with in the box. This week it really started to get bad with connection issues to where the audio would just clip the entire time, teammates saying my mic was cutting in and out. Just an overall waste of money. If you plan on getting it definitely ... MoreSounds good, when it works... Very comfortable and good looking headset but otherwise it's a paper weight.

I really likeThe Steelseries Arctis 7+ which has become my daily driver headset. Great overall wireless headset that is awesome for gaming and streaming music/videos/movies! Wonderful sound comes out of these. On default settings, the equalizer (EQ) is set perfect for the general use of the device. Punchy bass, high treble are both set at the "green zone" for the Arctis, perfect for my preference. In video games such as "Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 (2022)" it is very easy to hear tones of footsteps, gunfire, and voice chat. Movies on the other hand, have the deep lows of a subwoofer and pitching highs of a dedicated "tweeter" speaker. Rewatching Avatar (2009) put the Arctis 7+ on the board for that movie theatre soundstage feeling. I could not have asked for a ...

Rewatching Avatar (2009) put the Arctis 7+ on the board for that movie theatre soundstage feeling. I could not have asked for a better EQ out of the box. I preferred watching (hearing) this movie with this headset OVER my expansive 5.1 Dolby surround sound speaker system. The built in microphone output quality is average compared to other brands, but still sounds good in those online chat lobbies! Easy to use software from steelseries, along with BUILT in Discord functionality! VERY COMFORTABLE! The Ski Goggle Band is perfect to fit, and a major upgrade from my previous cup-over-ear headband! Good ear cups are a must for me when considering a new headset, and so happens, the Arctis 7+ cups are just what the doctor ordered! Comfy, ergonomic, and doesn't heat up your ears due to ear cup insulation! Overall, the Steelseries Arctis 7+ Wireless Headphones stands among the rest of the competition, if not, near the top surly! I have already recommended it to friends and family!
I bought these because I got tired of managing a cable for my old headphones. A few friends separately recommended these. These headphones sound alright after spending some time installing the Sonar software (available as a beta test as of this writing). Without this software, using recommended drivers, the headset directed all audio through a secondary "chat" input, significantly lowering the quality. Nobody should be forced to use "always-on" software like Sonar for a peripheral. Even after setting things up, I still feel that the quality is noticeably worse than my old $60 headphones. I'm not an audio person, so if I notice the difference, it must be significant. Build quality-wise, everything feels like plastic. I understand it keeps them light, but I feel like ...

I understand it keeps them light, but I feel like I need to baby them or else the hinges above the ear cups might break. Again, I have owned much cheaper headphones that have felt much higher quality. Additionally, the volume sliders adjust very easily, and are located such that I accidentally bump them every time I put the headphones on. The battery life is around two days per charge in my experience after about a month. They charge quickly via USB-C, and you can use them while they are charging. Overall, for the amount that these cost, I'm pretty disappointed. I plan to keep using them, hopefully the technology gets worked out, or I'll just get used to how they sound.
I am giving these headphones 1 star because since I have purchased them last May, 2022 (6 months ago) they have died twice. After a period of long use they will get to the point where they won't charge and will not power on. The red mic light is on but the power button indicates that they are off. If you try to charge them the power indicator will not light indicating that they are charging, but they are. They just won't power on. The only solution to fix this is to let them sit for at least 2 days for ALL the power to drain from the battery and then plug them in and fully charge them again. Then the power button will finally turn on. Meanwhile, for 3 days or so you can't use your headphones. I keep having to go back to my old arctis wireless 1 which has a headgear ...

Have had this headset for 2 years now and am replacing it with something else. Pros - Battery life is as rated - In-game positioning is good Cons - Wireless connection is spotty from any distance - Range is awful - Audio quality and microphone are middling - Build quality is not made to last - Software is a confusing mess - Low battery warning starts with 5 minutes of battery left - Only one device at a time I'm finally getting rid of these. I've had consistent issues with audio cutting in and out rapidly (like someone holding down the space bar on a YouTube video), audio dropping and requiring a headphones/PC restart, and random shutoffs of these headphones, with the receiver literally 2.5 feet from the headphones with an unobstructed view of them.

On top of this, the overall range from the receiver is maybe 15 feet through one wall, which may not sound like an issue, but is the difference between continuing to talk with friends while grabbing water from the kitchen and hearing the infuriating, consistent "no connection" beep. In terms of audio quality, the surround sound capabilities of these are good - I've never had issues being able to pinpoint where enemies are in Overwatch or COD. Overall sound quality, though, is on the low side of passable. Bass response is non-existent, and the entire sound signature has a thin layer of mud across it. The microphone's also not great; I've been told that my mic sounds worse than a Logitech G432's, a ~$50 headset. This is absolutely unacceptable for the price these go for. My last complaint is the software for these. It's a steaming garbage mess of confusion and required account creation. None of the profiles make a difference to the sound or positioning of in-game audio cues, and is generally confusing to navigate and do anything with. It does come with a nifty two-sound-source...thing in Windows which splits the game audio and voice audio (i.e., Discord) into two separate audio channels that can be controlled separately, but is otherwise not worth any of your time. Long story short- these weren't worth the ~$130 I paid back in 2020, and they're ABSOLUTELY not worth the $170 they are now. YOU WILL REGRET THESE.
