SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gaming Headset - White, 61567

I previously used the Nari Ultimate headset, and after losing the USB stick it comes with for bluetooth connection, I was in search for a new and similar quality of headphones but without breaking the bank. (The Nari at the time cost me 199.99)These headphones are the real deal. No, they dont have any fancy LED lights like every other headset out there, but exchange a bland/boring looking device for crisp and clear audio and youll be gaming like no other. There is absolutely zero latency while using my budget gaming laptop, and the audio isnt as instense as the Nari but provides the same scale of surround sound. Me personally, I dont mind listening to regular gameplay instead of feeling like im in an Imax theater paying Apex with the Nari Ulimate.These ... MoreI previously used the Nari Ultimate headset, and after losing the USB stick it comes with for bluetooth connection, I was in search for a new and similar quality of headphones but without breaking the bank.

Me personally, I dont mind listening to regular gameplay instead of feeling like im in an Imax theater paying Apex with the Nari Ulimate.These headphones are without a doubt worth it 100%. I have issues with computers and i dont like digging into the settings and files just to make headphones work. These are just plug and play, has a very long battery life and charges super quickly for even longer game sessions. I can walk to the other side of my house between several walls and still hear my party just fine. I am not sponsored, but BUY THESE NOW. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I WAS RELUCTANT BUT THESE ARE SO WORTH IT. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT FROM A FELLOW GAMER. YOU WILL LOVE THESE.

I like this headset. But the more I use it, specifically with SteelSeries' GG software, the more I get annoyed. The "Sonar" feature is buggy and overwhelming. It splits your audio into 5 different adjustable channels so you can mix them easier. But I don't need 5 channels, let alone even 2.. Windows has built in audio mixing, so does every app, I don't need layer on layer of volume sliders.The amount of random mysterious bugs I've encountered with audio have all funneled to Sonar being the cause. I had a bug where I disabled Sonar as to not flood my audio output options in Windows, and my headset got stuck at 100% volume. The only way I could lower it was the physical switch. Enabling Sonar would fix the issue, but I didn't want Sonar enabled..You can't remove ... MoreI like this headset.

Enabling Sonar would fix the issue, but I didn't want Sonar enabled..You can't remove or hide the Sonar channels, so you'll have like 4000 audio outputs and it's frustrating and annoying to navigate through them honestly.The concept is cool on paper, but wow, it's poorly executed and just ends up being a convoluted nightmare.Mic quality is garbage, audio quality is... okay.Dual connection is awesome, simultaneously connecting to my phone and PC is something I've always wanted. It works well enough, very few bugs there.I can't really recommend this headset because of the pain that is the software.

Have to use the Steel Series App to make these even somewhat decent. I have the original SS headphones and they were great so I got this upgraded version. Regretting it a month into owning them, even after spending tons of time tweaking them in the app. They are loud, however the sound proof-ness? of them are horrible. I can literally hear my dogs nails clinking on the wood floor while gaming. Its very faint, but you can hear it in the background of whatever game you are playing. TV on in the background? You'll most likely hear an echoe from that in your headset, although faint, it's there and definitely noticeable and ruins the immersion.Also, make sure after turning on the power button you also turn the bluetooth button on or else it will sound like you're ... MoreHave to use the Steel Series App to make these even somewhat decent.

Once bluetooth is on, it sounds fine, but like I said be prepared for the background noises in your household making their way into your headset. The fact that there's even two seperate buttons is beyond me too, yeah you can use them without the bluetooth on but the quality is horrible without it on.It honestly sucks and I wish I hadn't tried giving these a chance for so long as now I can't return them. Especially for the price, I'm not impressed in the slightest.
