Fantastic video! Exactly what I was looking for - thank you! The sound from the PS5 Steelseries 7p+ is amazing but, they need to fix a few things. A) the dongle situation is ridiculous B) the EQ should built in to an installable iPhone or Android app C) chat volume mixer needs should control the chat volumes IMO.

They7p+ also added 4 more frequency options on the eq so tuning will be more similar to the arctis 9 than the original 7p

Very thorough review, thank you. I ordered these after your review, and looking forward to giving them a shot.

Hi halfway through the video and enjoying it so far plus I’ve just subscribed, can I ask have you tried any of these headsets with sifu the game that released in February

Good to know thank you very much i was thinking of upgrading for a long time

Are able to make a video on the EQ settings that are best used for the 7p and 7p+? Or a custom EQ setting that is best??

I just got the Arctis 7P+ yesterday and the EQ presets are different from the original 7P. Can you please make a video on the best audio settings for the 7+?? I can't find anything online about it.

Love the sound. Having a slight issue though. I use the elgato 4k60pro game capture card. I don't get any audio on obs when you change the audio to "all audio". If I put it to chat then the audio works but in obs only.....not the headset. I'm currently researching this issue

Hi I recently got the 7p + and when I was going into the eq settings I noticed that they have different presets to the old 7p And I was wondering does anyone know the differences between each new eq preset on the 7p + .

What is the difference between chargers ? Is it open back head set ? Does it pick up a lot of background noise for the other players to hear in party chat ?

I was looking for a good headset for my PS5, and you helped me make an informed decision through your videos. Thank you so much! They were great! The Arctic 7P+ is the one I’ll be going with.

tnx for ur video both of 7p+ and 7p support 3d sound on ps5?

Anyone (preferably with a ps5) know how these compare with an Arctis Pro? I've had mine since 2019 and was simply curious since other headsets I've bought in the past dont seem to provide enough volume or even bass. Thank you for the feedback.

All these videos and no one talks about the major differences between the two. Which is the equalizer and must you do to get close to the immersion settings of the 7p.

I like the Black 7+ more than the white color on the 7p+ but i play mainly on my ps5 and want to have the 3d sound. which should i get?

Did you notice a mild buzzing sound in the background noise when at full volume? It’s a problem I’ve noticed with my pair I recently purchased

Witch one would you choose the 7p or the Astro A50

How are these compared to the Astro A40 with the mix amp?

@Picsleated Bro how's the 3d sound in 7P while playing games? Does arctis 7p produces the same tempest 3d sound like pulse 3d headset? Because I am thinking to buy a headset with 3d audio recommend one :)

I saw ur videoes but u choosing arctis 7p+ or nova 7p?

Anyone know if these suffer from problem as the 7P where you can’t charge via the USB port during rest mode?

Hey do u have any settings ? Or can you make a tutorial like you did it at the 7p? Because at the 7p+ i dont have the presets immansion and performance.

Hey just wondering if i had both the 7P+ and the Pro wireless which one would be better for the Ps5?

Can anyone tell me why when gaming, all volume goes really low whenever there is a close gunshot or explosion or something? It’s like it’s trying to equalize the volume. I’ve disabled the option that does equalize it. Thanks in advance!

Is it’s a removable battery for these or is it like the 7p

Yo I adjusted the eq good as I could today and when I went to start the 7P+ eq sliders are way way different there is 10 total sliders vs 6 like on the regular 7P. Wouldn’t this mean the software within them are probably different as well?? I need someone that knows what they are talking about to help me out I set them today and it took like for ever probably hour and a half and they sound better but not hardly as good as the 7P originals yet. Can someone please give me some good advice here lol.

I heard the hinge of these breaks easily after some time. Is this true?

Hey bro! Can you share your favorite EQ for these pair?

Which one should I go for. Arctis Pro + GameDAC or Arctis 7P+ ? Thanks I’m advance.

Hi there I was going to get the turtle beach 700 gen 2 after seeing few videos of the 7p and 7p+ so far the steel series are good for all rounder esp if I'm playing call of duty what would be worth to buy the 7p or 7p+ as I can't make up my mind.

Thanks for this in-depth review! One question, is the shade of white different on the 7P+? I noticed that the original 7P does not completely match the white color of the PS5 (which is a slightly blueish-white) so I’m wondering if they changed this on the newer headset.

I have a question, can you charge the arctis 7p+ with the Ps5 controller charging wire since they are both usb c?

witch better sound on ps5 arctis 9 or 7p has difrent sound on them...?! i love arctis 9 becouse has bluetooth

Did they make the dongle a little longer because it doesn't go in when you have a phone case on your phone If they didn't then it really isn't that big of an upgrade And it also does not justify paying for it

I do appreciate your videos, very detailed and pleasant. For this video I gave back pulse 3d and got artic 7p+. You were right about the audio quality and immersion, and of course the comfort compared to the pulse 3d. I just have 2 problem. The mic is picking everything, even my breath or any small sound even far away from me, and not because my sidetone is up, my friends in the party told me, where the pulse 3d mic was much better ( my friends in the PS5 party said), so because your test mic seems good, can you show how you set the mic on the app and on PS5? Also, they removed immersion mode from the eq and I thought if maybe you have a custom preset similar to immersion. Thank you and keep up the good work.

In preparation for my psvr 2, I had purchased the Pulse 3Ds. I was immediately disappointed with the lack of sound and volume from Sony's "PS5" headset, that I just returned them. Seriously, the max volume is about 50% of my Arctis pro DAC. Decided to buy the Arctis 7Ps instead, since I found a pair for $100 but immediately saw there was a 7P+. I panicked, thinking I missed out on a better headset, but if the ONLY difference is the usb-c charging and 4 extra hours, I can breathe a sigh of relief (and save $80). Thanks for the clarification!!

Is this better than the hyperx cloud 2 wireless?

I need to know... when you have the 3.5 mm audio cable plugged into the headset and plug the jack into a device while the USB-C dongle is plugged into a different device... do you hear audio from both sources or does the headset default to only one of them at a time?

Gotta be honest, turning 3D Audio OFF actually provides a better sound. To get 3D Audio, the EQ has to go flat. Surround sound is nice but is definitely muffled when 3D Audio is on.

Is these louder than the pulse 3Ds

I’ve been using the Steelseries arctis 7p now for 2 years with my PS5. It’s beautiful, clear and spatial… the battery life is incredible and the comfort for glasses wearing individuals is amazing, but that’s it. The Arctis 7p is not an all around headset for games, multimedia and movies, it’s for games. Even after updating the firmware and choosing a great preset, the bass is so underwhelming it’s flat. I was very misinformed by Pulse 3d and arctis 7p reviews. Everyone favors the 7p and even says the mic is better. I just reluctantly bought the all black pulse 3d tonight from Best Buy (Saturday 12/10/22) and 2 hours with it, it’s simply beautiful. The standard sound preset on the eq beats the arctis 7p beautifully and the bass I was missing and wanting in the 7p is available automatically on the bass boost preset in the eq setting on the ps5. I don’t base my gaming headsets anymore on gaming spatial sound or quality, I now base it on… is it capable and worthy of watching Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray movies and sound good across the spectrum without dropping or bottoming out. The arctis 7p cannot keep up, the pulse 3d just blew my mind and for $50 less. The arctis 7p is gorgeous, but it’s not even close to the performance of the pulse 3d. The microphone clarity blew my friends away and hearing them was so crystal clear. The arctis 7p is always trying to keep up in chat. I underestimated the pulse 3d based on so many articles and KZread channels. If you have the arctis 7p, go to best buy, by the Pulse 3d, use it for one night. If you don’t like it you can return it no questions asked for 1 month. I expected to return the pulse 3d but again, it way overshot any expectations I could have ever had for it. Arctis 7p, I love you, but I’m selling you now.
