Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming Headset

Highly recommend. These feel nice to wear, nice to take on and off, easy to use, the charge lasts for ages (listening non stop for days on end). Audio quality is decent enough, its not exactly audiophile spec, but it provides decent listening while working, and ample clarity for gaming and they can go decently loud. The steelseries software is unobtrustive, but it also has lots of features if you wish to use them. The dongle is very small, so you don't end up with another docking station to put on your desk. They are pretty much plug and play with the dongle. The range is decent, so you can easily get up to get tea and biscuits from the...view more Highly recommend.

Cons:

The sound quality, wireless connectivity and comfort while wearing are all up to standard and really good. I just can't get past the mic on this pair of headphones though, it is flimsy, bad at picking up my voice, and after regular use on a near daily basis, the mic is already frayed and broken from repeatedly having to pull it out of the socket, and it has not even been a year yet. Last pair of SteelSeries headphones lasted me years, and were cheaper. I expect way better quality after having to pay an arm and a leg for these.

These headphones would have to be the best I have ever bought. They charge up no problem and I can game for near enough to 2 days. Highly recommend buying these headphones.

it works no issues since purchase! it works no issues since purchase!

These headphones are probably one of the best build gaming headphones I've ever had, however it sucks that the Steelseries GG software is really awful, and I have constant disconnection and driver issues with the headphones, it's made worse when I talk with my mates who own older Steelseries headsets and they say that the features the GG software does used to be built into the older headsets making me wonder why did Steelseries have to ruin these headphones with their proprietary software?

Regardless, it's still decent build, but expect software troubles.

This headset was awesome I purchased it about 2 years ago I think and my little brother still uses it he’s 9 so he’s very rough with technology this headset felt very brittle when I first bought it but it’s relatively strong I do recommend buying as a first (good headset) as this will last a long time and the mic quality is very clear worth the price but there are better options however this is still a very good headset This headset was awesome I purchased it about 2 years ago I think and my little brother still uses it he’s 9 so he’s very rough with technology this headset felt very brittle when I first bought it but it’s relatively strong I do recommend buying as a first (good headset) as this will last a long time and the mic quality is very clear worth the price but there are better options however this is still a very good headset

Two small downsides: the USB-A to USB-C adapter cable is a bit long, and the headset has very limited adjustments for bigger heads. Two small downsides: the USB-A to USB-C adapter cable is a bit long, and the headset has very limited adjustments for bigger heads.
