Love your reviews, especially how you actually show off the audio quality for us!

Thanks for going into detail about how to set up the headset and if the settings will save and carry over back to be Xbox from PC. Only review that actually simply answered that question for me. Also, I’m subbing in hopes for that video of the “best Xbox series x headset” because as of now, there’s not many to chose from! Very frustrating that this 7x is sold out :( thanks for a great straight-to-the-point and informative video!

The arctics 3 are the most comfortable headset I’ve ever had and they are on the cheap end. Just had brain surgery and they still feel comfortable, even for hours! These definitely look like those but more beautiful. Can’t wait to upgrade

I can't wait for you to make the best gaming headset list for the xbox series x|s. I hope it comes out soon so I can do some last minute christmas shopping

Thanks for the review. Is there at least an option to change the headset into stereo mode? Would like to use this with Atmos.

I've been using my HyperX Cloud Alpha's for ages now, switched over to these and no regrets.

Delivered a great review for Xbox folk. Please keep up the Xbox accessory comparisons.

I got the 7x pluses from this review I hope they’re good thank you and thank you for answering my question because I didn’t know how to adjust them

I had the Arctis 9X and had a ton on interference and disconnections where it would drop audio or stutter audio every 5 seconds multiple times making them unusable while gaming. . I had them RMA and just got the 7x so far the only thing I miss is the +bluetooth feature. The 9X are amazing when they work and no connection issues. So far the 7x are amazing as well.

You really are underrated

Love my Artic 3's but the cord got damaged and started acting up. Was really pissed off till I noticed that the cord be unplugged and replaced. They have got to be one of the best designed headsets I have ever owned.

Why does mine sound trash compared to my cheap hyper x cloud stinger? Do wireless headsets just sound worse, or am I just missing something to make my arctis 7x sound better?

I have a PS5 and a Series X. Can I buy a second dongle so that I can stay connected to both consoles. Without having to swap all of the time?

Got mine today, incredibly comfortable and great sound!

This USB C dongle makes it inconvenient to switch from xbox to pc which I do often. You have to unplug the extension cable from xbox and plug it into the pc every time. You also need an additional usb port for charging the headset. There's only 3 ports on an Xbox so you'd have to find another source for charging unless unplugging and plugging in cables repeatedly doesn't bother you.

Would you consider comparing these to the Corsair 75x?

Right now I'm in the market for wireless headsets but I'm undecidable especially when it comes to when you have a big head and I saw your review on the 7x but I was also thinking of getting the Turtle Beach stealth 700 Gen 2 and I don't know if that was a good thing to get for someone that has a big head or not or if there's another headset out there that is even better

Decided i am gonna risk the 9x interference issue.. worst case ill return it

How loud do these let you get? I ask because rainbow six siege is a pretty quiet game compared to CoD. So I want to know if it can get loud enough to help me out.

These are pretty good headphones, good sound quality. I used the Arctis 7 (not x) for about 2 years until the micro usb charger stopped working, as I forgot it was plugged in many times and got up, yanking on it. The two worst things about them are that they are VERY heavy and the earcups are not made for large ears. They totally crushed my ears and made them sore. I didn't realize how bad they felt until I switched to my Sennheisers. Every single thing is better about my Sennheiser's and they cost less.

So what I want to know is can I use this headset with the wireless connection to my PC, but also receive audio simultaneously through the 3.5mm jack? Use case is I want to chat and hear Discord and PC stuff, but also play on my Xbox Series console, and hear the audio from my second monitor that would be output through that monitor's audio out jack. Playing it through the speakers is a no go, (like also not using a mechanical keyboard) because I'm not a terrible and inconsiderate person.

I love my Arctis 7x! Absolute best headset I’ve ever owned! It’s the only headset I’ll use with gaming!

It's available right now through phone, I think you have to be signed in to see it.

returning my 9x for these because I can’t deal with the stuttering and loss of connection.

I just bought one of the 7X to use on the series X. I love the headset but I found that the mic was terrible. My friends in the party said that it sounded distorted and cheap. Compared to my 5 years old £20 headset that I was replacing.. the mic was 10x worse. Is there any fix for the mic on Xbox? I’m really disappointed because it’s really expensive

i purchased these a couple months ago and the sound quality is awesome. However the mic is really sensitive to where it picks up pressing buttons on controller or even a fan in the background. Does anyone know how to lower the mic sensitivity? I downloaded the steelseries engine but couldnt find a mic monitoring option.

Do a review on the 7x+

I got one of these for my PS5, Series X and Switch. It works great on all three! I’m going to order an extra dongle once they’re back in stock to keep on behind my XSX and the other I keep on the front of my PS5 in the USB-C port and pop it off if I want to use it with my Switch. I’ll keep them in their respective modes and hopefully won’t have interference since my PS5 and Switch are upstairs and my XSX is downstairs. It’s so nice to finally have something that just works with all my consoles, but it still pisses me off that I can’t just use my AirPods Pro which have low latency with any console, especially the new ones.
