    Just bought my pair and dongle cable or not my pc is in a hyte y60 case so the usb type c is on the front panel opposite of the usb 3.2 ports so it doesn’t block anything I would say based on what platform your playing on that issue might only exist within the PlayStation playerbase

This video convinced me to get these and early impressions - I was pleasantly surprised. This thing beats even the Jabra 2Evovle75 which goes for twice the price. This is much easier, cheaper and better value. Thank you for a solid honest review.

    I'm in the same boat I'm trying to find a new headset and I'm looking to make a considerable upgrade. I currently have the super cheap ps4 turtle beaches I got when I got my ps4 in 2017. It's not even wireless. I don't have access to a pc with windows or anything to be able to do updates or make adjustments so thats been my biggest turn away from a lot of headsets

    For those that love these headphones, but don’t like the depth of the cushions, get yourself a pair of Wicked Cushions. Solves this problem 100%. Plus, as if these headphones weren’t comfortable enough already, the Wicked Cushions add even more comfort with their cooling gel, as well as adding better audio with their passive noise cancellation locking in even more sound. All in all, makes these headphones even better than they already are!!

    If I have no issues with steelseriesarctis 1 headphones (theyre comfortable and sound quality is ok) will I like arctis nova 7? The main reason I want to upgrade is because steelseries 1 is currently only device I still have that has crappy micro usb. I want to get rid of that for good and have everything on usb c. I hope nova 7 has better sound quality than steelseries 1 though. Steelseries 1 doesnt have bad sound quality, its just average, not great but not bad either but I would prefer something with little better sound quality.

    My main way of playing is PC. I want to buy a white headset and them being white is a must for me. Unfortunately the Arctis Nova 7 does not come in white, only the 7x and 7p. I am wondering is there a real benefit for buying the 7 for pc over 7x? Would I be missing out on quality on my PC if I bought the Arctis Nova 7x vs Arctis Nova 7? To reiterate, I know they are both compatible with both, but do they actually work better for their indented platform?

    I've recently bought the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X due to it's multi-platform connectivity, the fact that it has a dongle ánd an aux cable for wired use and mostly, because of many experienced people saying it's a good headset. Sadly for me, mine has some issues and I don't know how to fix them (yet). Firstly, when I record a video on my PS5 and watch it back later, (EA FC 24) my voice sounds a bit elektronic during random moments every several sentences despite me lowering the mic volume to 50% or so because of the max mic level being too loud and my voice then making the mic pop. I haven't heard the many, many tech youtubers I watched mention this problem at all. The mic also doesn't sound like a 150 dollar headset level mic but more like a budget headset's mic. I've also used the Steelseries GG app's engine to adjust the settings, including the mic, to make them better based on tech youtubers' tips. The headset also occasionally loses connection with the dongle whether I use the extension cord with it or the dongle on it's own despite the fact that I'm only a couple of meter away from the dongle. My brother has the same headset and we use ours simultanuously on PS5 to make video's for ourselves and he has more of a static hiss when his headset is on while I experience more of a robot voice during every few words used in every few sentences. Does anyone have any useful solutions to maybe help make this headset worth it's cost?

    Now that is worrisome. Every YT review I've seen it's old. So they bought the first batch. What if something changed with the latest production and aren't been made the same. I was currently looking at them. And it wouldn't be the first time a tech product changes manufacturing halfway it's life. Without any name change or anything. Has there been any fix on the last 2 months? It's not a cheap headset. I'm worried about spending that much.

    ​@@Omizuke As far as I know, there has not been any fix for the problem. I've had a bit more time to experiment and nothing's changed since. The somewhat electronic-sounding voice is not there when you use the 3.5 mm cable but it means you can't use bluetooth or the dongle at the same time as using the 3.5 mm cable. Using it with dogle means you can use simultanious bluetooth. I've also noticed that the volume of sound being output through the headset's mic when using the dongle is much softer (3x as soft) as by using the direct input through the 3.5 mm cable. I've e-mailed the manufactorer and they said it sounds like I've got a somewhat faulty Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X and to send it for repair but then again, my brother has the exact same one and has some issues with it as well such as hearing more of a buzz when connected to a PS5 controller through the included 3.5 mm cable, the mic being quite sensitive to breathing noises (mine is too) etc. On the other hand, couch-co-op, which we use it for, is quite the unique setup compared to how most reviewers have used it and on pc, more of the headset's good highlights could come out. Based on how I use it, I would advise you not to buy this one (yet). Sorry about the long answer but I guess it's better to be well-informed than to be left with many questions.

A button? Any trick somewhat? 3rd: for someone average/a bit above average earsize would you recommend? Cheers

    Fantastic review bro, the dongle is really a pain in the ass, I had that with my arctis 1 too and it gets worse when the laptop gets real hot and starts to interfere in the dongle. Guess I'll go for the 7x too.

    Great review bro! I've had the Nova 7s for a month now and it's starting to seem like the hinge where the earcups meet the headband are getting loose. For example when you extended the headbands at 4:53, you can see the hinge widen/flex a little bit. I noticed that that's a pretty common breaking point for the Arctis Nova Pro/7s. What is your experience on this after 6 months?

    I haven’t seen or felt anything loosen or get worn over time. I can seen were it may eventually wear out if you were to use these everyday for years. But I wouldn’t worry about it, the hinge is holding up well. 👍 Thanks for watching.

    ​@@Chiz1992 5 months later, never really had any issues, I would say it's 10-15% looser from when I got it. Also, whenever I would put on/take off the headset, I would pull it apart from the metal band as opposed to pulling it apart from holding the earcups.
