Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X Review - From A Console Gamer's Point Of View

[@frozengamer3030]

I have these and they sound great. Remember to update the dongle and headsets and turn off the volume limiter

[@neeneenee]

@@lucasalvez6434 you need to do it on a pc or laptop

[@VaporGearhead]

Thank you for addressing the lack of EQ controls on Xbox or iPhone. No one else supplied that answer

[@HamzalAsad]

Did you still buy it

[@cs_cabrone9012]

Absolutely loving your reviews. The delivery, passion, editing- it’s all great

[@GYMCADDY]

Glad you like them!

[@tylerbriskham8172]

First time watching you just brought a pair to try out as my turtle beach broke 😢 one of the best reviews I’ve watched top notch mate keep it up 👍🏻

[@winstonxarilo_]

My Turtle Beach headset is falling apart and that's what brought me here lol

[@mysticlasryn]

The simultaneous connectivity is exactly what I’m looking for with a Mac/Console setup! Good for keeping discord on one device and still hearing game audio at the same time instead of changing headsets or moving dongles or moving to discord on the console

[@truckmuncher8998]

Is there any way to use the EQ on Mac

[@HamzalAsad]

@@truckmuncher8998did you find out

[@Simon-se7lo]

hey, can i use the mic on both devices at the same time?

[@gar351]

Really good, honest review. Good info!

[@Kvs1920]

With the 9x you were able to connect to the Xbox without any dongle. I don’t understand why they decided to use a dongle with their newer headsets. With the 9x you were also able to change presets right from the headset itself. These are kind of a dealbreaker in my opinion.

[@OneLoneGuitarist]

As someone who has used both I see where you’re coming from. The reason for the dongle is a change in the tech, the 9Xs are purely Bluetooth whereas the novas are RF. I like to walk around my house for things as I’m gaming between matches, RF is FAR superior for longer distances. With the novas I can walk up a flight and outside before they stop getting sound. The 9xs I could barely get 10-20ft with nothing in between but halfway up the flight of stairs they’d Klonkoit and I’d have to re-pair once I’m in front of my console again. Novas are the perfect Headset for my Xbox imo. I’ll take a dongle over native Bluetooth any day now.

[@clawson32104]

The 9x had connection issues and it was widely known. Just do a search for Arctis 9x and connection problems and see how many owners had problems. I owned a pair and had issues myself. The 7x with the dongle has thus far for me had a rock solid connection. They also sound better especially with a custom EQ

[@pranavkhatri4505]

Your reviews are awesome man. Solid insights that are really helpful for making a decision

[@VektorVirus]

I have these, and it sucks that they market them as a Xbox headset, but the really good Sonar software features are PC only. They're still really great tho, especially at a discounted price. But still...

[@Jairomora2020]

Would you say these are better than the artic 7x?

[@VektorVirus]

@@Jairomora2020the Nova 7X are better in every way

[@J4VIMAN]

Awesome review! Quick question ... When connected via Bluetooth to a PC, are the Kaira Pro using the dedicated mic or the built in one? Thanks in advance!

[@BenjaminW91]

Whats the headset like for media apps like Disney+, Netflix, Prime video and KZbin like hows the audio for that?

[@marimthe1083]

Hi. Great video.. Do you know the difference between eq fouca and smiley? I can't find anywhere.. They change the names I don't know which on its better for first person shooter. My old artic 7x has performance and immersion, performance for fps games and immerson for camping games.. Ilke I said, I don't about focus and smiley

[@patrickmulligan3101]

So wait I’m confused do you use Bluetooth with the pc or the Dongle

[@loitersquadX]

Can you do a comparison please ? The Xbox series x headset , vs turtle beach gen 2 max , vs steel series , and if you can include the bang and olefsuns , please bro I need to see what’s the best mic and sound

[@sirmess2035]

Can you pair them to a tv (Lg C1) via bluetooth, for movies and stuff? Thanks

[@sanfury]

yes.

[@mohammedbm]

@GYMCADDY, can you share you EQ settings for Warzone? Thank you. Great review btw. One thing tho, the mic was a bit too far from your mouth

[@TomWalsh1994]

Did you ever get those EQ setting for Warzone?

[@OfficialNsaneBeauti]

literally just got my headset. once i plug it into my xbox and my game chat will not work. can someone help me.

[@Rico0411]

I had the same had to switch the chat mixer on the headset itself

[@matslarsson5988]

Hmm am I the only one who thought the mic sounded like absolute garbage?

[@johnpauldelosreyes3012]

Can't umyou just use dolby atmos for console eq settings?

[@ralramirez6017]

So you can’t use the headset without it being plugged into your Xbox???

[@speedogomer]

Even with the sidetone maxed, I can't hear myself on the 7x. It's a deal breaker for me.

[@mohammedbm]

That’s odd. I can hear myself just fine with the sidetone on low. You should return it and ask for a replacement!

[@frederickvaatz2383]

I hate sidetone w a passion

[@chef.ramesses]

I just got this headset, why would I want to hear myself tho?

[@speedogomer]

@chef.ramesses because you naturally hear yourself speak in normal conversation. You lose ability to control your volume and some tone of your voice of you can't hear yourself. Ask a professional singer why they need monitors pointing at them while they're singing. They need that feedback to be able to perform.

[@pianabol]

It's been a while, but I'm looking to get a new headset. Did you ever manage to sort the sidetone? I will not buy anything that I cannot hear myself with 😂

[@austenmclean7588]

only thing is that I cannot adjust sensitivity of mic as it picks up everything, even the fan in my room,, cant adjust as Im using Mac which renders the software useless? really annoying!

[@JacobCaffee]

Check to see if the program you're using has noise suppression or noise cancelation built into it

[@AM-xd5qu]

Does Dolby Atmos on the Xbox Series X do anything with this headset

[@nolifeohio9158]

i cant get voice and mic to work on pc one or the other im dumb

[@HoliSupps]

They have a strong bass? I am so confused these are really underwhelming and fairly quite even with volume limited turned off abs bass turned up using SONAR

[@laxuscloud2495]

You have a faulty one or is it your system? These headsets in particular has been proven to have an over the top bass. All trusted reviewers have equalized it because the sound signature kind of sucks tbh.

[@BertVisser-es5ev]

Do they fit with the psvr2?? Anybody knows that?? 😃

[@isaacfozzyfranco]

What app do you use for Xbox

[@AJCoReTV]

Wireless for switch?

[@ihateusernamesgrrr]

When you mention the headset can be used with both your console and phone simultaneously why do you mention other random things you can run on your phone and not the obvious which is discord? I notice other reviewers do the same thing and it doesn't make sense especially when that dual use would be used in a game like dayz for example.

[@Ruaazz]

Bro's a G for solo queing in apex 😭

[@Kattoe]

The eq doesn't save to the headset, right?

[@alexcable8927]

yes it does

[@WaitingtheAliens]

the game/chat volume dial doesnt work in ps5. Totally stupid decision from Steelseries. And the 7P for playstation have a sidetone dial rather than game/chat dial. Totally stupid decision and a deal braker. Bought them, returned them do to this lack of funtions in PS5.

[@sleepleZzZ-reborn]

my problem is that on my ps5 the mic is constantly on even when i disable mic related settings put the slider to 2 ... voice activation completely to the left.. i will try it today with connection to my labtop and see what i can do with the software suite

[@dont_be-adumbfoolish_7026]

Hahaha you should review the Sony gaming headset that you have in the video dude whenever reviews it huh

[@MoltenMan85]

I've tried on two Series X's and an S and none of them could charge the headset via USB when in stand-by mode. It would flash green maybe three times and shut off. I have to plug them into an entirely different source to charge them. I think its odd I can't charge them with the thing it's made for.

[@ferretman011]

You might have to play around in your console settings to be able to charge things while you're console is off. Just an FYI

[@prpwnage9296]

Wearing a hat when reviewing a headset. Also wearing a hat indoors

[@7auros]

Why do people consider this mic sound “good”? It sounds like shit?

[@YouANerd]

Hold up the fucking transmitter is USB-C? How the fuck im supposed to plug that shit into my xbox?

[@bv83x]

What xbox do you have cuz my series s has a type c port

[@jermeyshaw8896]

It comes with an adapter

[@abhijeetdey]

​@@bv83xseries consoles don't have USB C! What are you saying?
