Curious, what headset are you all using right now?

[@Apenoot696]

JBL Quantum One, it's good. Arctis 5 was more stinkin' cozy though ;)

[@princegroove]

Arctis 7 for PC (2019) and Astro A50 for PS5 (newest version), both are stinkin’ cozy and sound premium. I’m really tempted to pull the trigger and grab a set of these cans for my PS5, though.

[@deagle7602]

@@princegroove shouldn’t it be the other way around? A50 for PC connected with optical cord. ps5 doesn’t have an optical port so the plug in play arctis 7 would be better.

The new SteelSeries Sonar integration with the GG software makes the SteelSeries headsets the default BEST headsets on the market right now. They have separate mixes for chat, mic and gaming (Similar to GOXLR). You can mix the game EQ for footsteps or set game specific profiles like Warzone for higher treble and Fortnite and lower treble and higher bass etc. ALL without messing with your music or chrome audio which is a game changer!!!. BIG BONUS!! My buddy plays on his ps4 so I hear his PS4 taking off like a jet but with the chat mix, I turned on the simple noise gate and noise reduction and now he sounds so clear! Big ups for SS for this update!

[@thefury4815]

Great video. I used your eq and tweaked the middle sliders up a bit more and brought the higher frequencies down a bit. But still a great starting point and helped a lot. Thanks a lot!

[@andrewrobs]

Been using the Arctis 5 since it came out, and I just bought these. I can't use another headset if it doesn't have that chat/game mixing dial, it's the killer feature in my opinion

I’ve purchased two Arctis 7 cans in the past and totally agree with your stinkin’ review. Steel series headsets offer premium build, sound, and aesthetic qualities.

I use nice IEM's now with a desk mic, but I'd love to see a proper upgrade to the Siberia v2/3's. I had a pair Siberia v2's and that thing took 6+ years of abuse and still works. Was super comfy on the head as they used a similar strap system to the Arctis but the cushions werent very deep. Loved that thing though. I guess the Arctis could be the successor idk.

I just got these today and I love them, they are soft comfortable doesn't make my ears sweat or anything, I feel like I could hear everything with these and things definitely sounded more realistic from playing a shooter to a driving game I loved it, I was able to use these wireless on my x box one x and wired on my switch, I love them. I use to use the Astro a50 x box and I liked them but they felt heavy on my head and the ear muffs bothered my ears made my ears feel warm sweaty, and I like I don't have to have a receiver/ charger doc on my tv stand with the steel series. these are so comfortable and my first pair now I love this brand

[@iliketomovince2919]

After a very long search for my first wireless headset that's within my budget, and snooping around your channel for headsets reviews haha, I finally bought my Arctis 7+ about 2 weeks ago. The Razer Blackshark V2 Pro is my other choice. But with uncertainty of its wire clamp getting loose, the much better built of the 7+ was the final kicker for me. Together with the Wicked Cushions that I also bought, I absolutely love my Arctis 7+! It's so stinkin cozy, and the sound is great. And it works perfectly well with my Android phone, as well. Plus, the Steelseries GG app also brings in great options with the EQ with its presets since I play many different games, from League to Apex. And the Moments app is good for making clips of your games. All in all, absolutely no regrets in my decision to buy this. This is a great option for those looking for a wireless gaming headset in this price point.

[@sheesh200]

Sounds great😃Do these headphones work with my iPad pro 2021 with usbc? i wanna buy them😎

[@fiftiethfiend8999]

Yeah as someone whose had both I can definitely say the steel series headset is way better the black shark is kinda comfy and more traditional but the sound and software for the arctis 7 is way better could never tune the Blacksharks the way I wanted to not only that but for some reason the Blacksharks mic would bug out every so often and would just decide to randomly work if I reset the entire headset

[@janokid023]

Did the Wicked pads made any difference what is your thoughts on it? I am considering to buy one, but not sure it worth the money. Thank you if you get back to me on this.

Techne have you had any cracks or breaking hinges with any of your arctis headsets that use the metal headband style? i.e. Arctis 7, 9x, pro. Been seeing those reports for quite awhile and mostly with the black colored ones (very few reports of the white ones).

[@chien_1417]

Hey i just bought Arctis 7+ and im loving it. It's just the sonar is giving me crazy, the default settings is much better when it comes to mic and when i tried the sonar mic it gets really bad. do you have any recommendations or settings i can put for mircrophone sonar?

I'd love if they make slightly bigger headsets, loved the Arctis Pro but it was so tight around my big head i had to return it

[@jello2tube]

One of the best intros so far to your videos 🤟🏼

[@VJScope]

One huge minus with Arctis 7 is the headband. I don't know if other people have this issue, but the band keeps stretching and the sticker is so small that I have to wrap the band couple of times around the earpiece before the stickers match. The band is probably 15cm longer now than when I bought it 2-3 years ago. Another thing is the retractable microphone. It can be a bit difficult to put it back in and once there is even a small crack in it, it becomes even more difficult and the plastic cover starts to peel off. However, it is still working and seems to be able to handle the extra force. The metal part, that is exposed, is very thick. I think that the battery duration is about the same as I bought it, but for some reason the power button keeps flashing red light even after the headset has been left charging over night. It should show green, then yellow, then red. There was a one instance where the battery wasn't charged at all during the night. Luckily my colleague had the correct kind of cable so I didn't have to leave work to get the cable. After that I have been carrying the charging cable around every time I go to office. I like the 7.1 Surround, but it won't turn on until I open the GG app. The app is opening in the background when I open my computer and the 7.1 Surround should be part of the default settings, but still I have to double click the icon before it turns the 7.1 Surround on. I also dislike the receiver. The long cable is just annoying... That being said, I have been very pleased with my headset. I can keep them on almost all day. They are so comfortable! I'm no expert with the sounds, but I have no complaints about the quality. Sorry about my English, it is a second language. :D

[@metrotooshiesty926]

i had mine for like 4 yrs best mic i ever had ngl felt comfy i felt like i only had it for 1

[@talizorahnarrayya5916]

Yeah, the band has started to stretch for me.

Man. I've been watching so many of your videos lately, I've been having dreams of headsets. I have the razr kiara ps5 ordered, if those don't work out, imma just order the the 7p+ and call it a day. Really didn't wanna put almost $200 into a headset for how seldomly i use it though. Keep up the great vids 👍

[@JUGGERNAUT41O]

Same here man , I went out and bought 5 headsets to compare , Artics 7+ , Artics 7p+ , Turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 , Logitech G5353 lightspeed wireless And the Razer Blackshark v2 pro I returned them all Except for the Razer and the 7p+ with the Razer being my favorite for sound quality and comfort

[@Maniac_m3chan1c]

@@JUGGERNAUT41O not sure about the v2, but I've heard the blackshark v3 are amazing. I like the kiara ps5. Only 2 gripes, clamping force is very light so they move alot an mic isn't removable. They updated it on the kiara ps5 pro but also $100 more. And $100 for a removable mic just doesn't justify

[@bechmich]

Hey Techne i've got a question im planning on upgreading to a new wireless headset for ps5. Are the 7+ compatible with the sony 3d audio and do they work with the mute button on the controller ? Do they both use the same arctis software on the PC.Does the 7+ work with the mute button on the controller like the 7p+ Which one would you choose for the ps5?

[@Marty6804]

I used the Arctis Pro wired for about a year and a half. I have a bald head too and think the band on the top feels nice. I always thought the ear cushions were a little too empty feeling though. When you put the headset on it feels like they deflate against your head.

Hey how do you film your mic tests?? Like what software and on your cpu or mobile

[@Rippone]

My experience shopping around in the last 3 months. Penrose (too much floor noise, impossible to adjust volume through Windows only through headset, Bluetooth too gimmick); SteelSeries Pro Wirless (too much clamping force, uncomfortable after long sessions even using after market leather padded cushions; presence of floor noise unacceptable for £300 headphones. To reduce floor noise you can activate an option that limits the volume, but that limits also the dynamic range); A50 (was not happy with the sound signature. Very good for gaming, but I also use them occasionally for music, heavy metal mainly, and oh boy they suffer significantly in the bass area to reproduce sounds like fast pace drums, it all becomes muddied). I returned these expensive 3 pairs. And settled for the much cheaper SteelSeries 7+. It has the same sound signature and quality of the Pro Wireless in my opinion. Very long batter, 30 hours (no need for swappable battery as for the Pro). Fast charging through USB C. Power button controls media (I love this so much), you click once and pauses the song, you click twice and skip forward to the next song, press 3 times and you get to the previous song. And of all the 4 headset, hands down are the most comfortable for my head / ears. So happy! And saved myself a good amount of money. Hope this helps :)

[@guiltygamerxrd]

Man I been researching wireless headsets all day but I think I might just go with these. Was just going to go with the Blackshark V2 Pros since I currently use and love the wired V2s but I really like that the 7+ has USB C and the mute notification light. The Sonar software looks cool too. Trying to decide on a wireless pair in a $250 limit is hard since there are so many good choices. Still I have quite a few Razer products already, would like to give other companies a chance!

[@nxk5116]

I have Arctis 7 and i will take you all the good and the bad the good is, they are fucking solid, every aspect is 4/5. Comfy, great sound, everything is great but nothing is perfect thats why it is 4/5, now take that as good or bad i take it as good- with 7+ you will get usb c plus longer battery life which is a plus and the biggest one of them all is the software. probably one of the best EQ settings out there and it's night and day difference customizing it for your needs, also those two wheels behind are super handy you will be using them 24/7, 10x better having physical scrolls than doing tru software. the bad is mic is not the best, headset will start to squick (plastic sound) after a month, two or three, very annoying, but one aspect you will have get used to, if you game for more than 4-8h a day your ears will hurt until you stop for an hour and then resume the use, you will obviously have to change the ear cushions every 6-12months, because they will get dirty on the inside and start to smell, at least thats my recommendation. try to keep them clean. and that is all i think pros heavily out weight the cons, so you decide. I can gurantee you will hardly find all the steelseries is offering with acrtis 7+ against other brands

[@guiltygamerxrd]

@@nxk5116 Wow, I wasn't expecting such a detailed response from anyone, so thank you! I actually did end up buying the Arctis 7+ the next day. The USB C is really what made my decision as I just really do not want to buy anything still on micro usb if I can avoid it at this point. Everything you stated is true. Sound is great, they do creek a little but no cord noise like my wired set so overall better. The main downside for me is that my ears are not only big but stick out, so I right away noticed they touched the drivers quite a bit. I thought about returning them but seeing a number of people saying to just replace the cushions I went ahead and got a set of wicked cushions (even people on the steelseries discord recommend the brand). I literally just put them on now and thankfully my ears no longer touch. Glad I stuck with them!

I bet these will have the same issues as the rest of the modern Arctis where the plastic earcups attach to the headband (the metal ball socket) it cracks and SteelSeries refuses to sale parts for all of their headphones or even offer a repair service for out of warranty devices. Its sad that they dont support their products and they are on my no buy list till that changes, and that sucks because I do love my Arctis pro wireless

[@Drewsterman777]

I just bought the Arctis 7+ and I have the Blacksharck V2 pro and Corsair HS80. I bought the replacement earpads for the 7+ and the Miko Diko replacement pads for the Blackshark V2 pros. Both of the V2 and 7+ headsets are super freaking comfy with the replacement earpads. Both offer great sound quality. I do say the V2 pro have a better mic and slightly better mids. The 7+ have better positional audio even in stereo mode. Both sound great with music, shows and movies. V2 pros off more and better sounding bass. 7+ are better for mids and highs imo. Both headsets are tremendous especially with the replacement earpads. I have 2 complaints with the V2 pros. 1. Positional audio is not great. I don't mean surround sound. I mean in stereo and being able to tell where a shot or foot step is. The Corsair HS80 are absolutely terrific at this. Whereas, the 7+ and V2 pros are meh. 2. The friction based earcup design that holds them in place sucks. I had mine for 3 months before they started slipping. Not a good design for the long haul. You "could" use fine grip sand paper and roughen up the metal bars to create more friction so they move less but that is a design flaw the company needs to be responsible for and not the consumer. I have one complaint about the 7+. 1. the mids sound a little flat. The bass is ok and highs are fantastic but the mids. Man the mids sound "cheap" or low quality if that makes sense. Both the V2 pros and HS80 EXCELL at audio reproduction imo. Listening to the HS80's is amazing but that mic issue >_< The Corsair HS80 microphone issue plagues like 80% of their headsets and it's sad. It's an amazingly designed and comfy headset only to be defeated by its own microphone. The problem is you have a high chance at buying a HS80 headset that has a microphone that is set to like -10 dB and is extremely quiet. Corsair has had over a year to fix it and a forume post, creat by me, that is over 17 pages long. They are destroying their own brand by not fixing this. They have an amazing headset but the microphone is garbage at that volume level. Their mic sounds terrific, when it works. My only complaint but it's a huge one. Btw my first real audio setup was Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250ohm headphones with a ModMic 5 attached. I am no audiophile otherwise I would not trade off audio quality for wireless. So let that be your judgement of this post I suppose. Btw, also, I only play on PC so I have no opinions towards console.

[@mH-rw6kp]

So comparing the v2 pro and the 7+ which one do you reccomend more?

[@Drewsterman777]

@@mH-rw6kp Hmmmmm That is a toss up. So straight out of the box I prefer the 7+ because of comfort, ok sound and ok mic. The problem with the V2 Pro's is my ears lay RIGHT against the drivers and it hurts regardless of the foam padding between my ear and the driver wall. Still hurts my ears. The 7+ don't do this. Now if we are talking about slapping aftermarket earpads on them then the V2 Pro wireless wins hands down. Better sounding audio for everything and a better mic. Similar battery life and similar range as far as my personal use saw. Hopefully that helps.

Anyone considering it beware the Wireless signal gets a lot of interference & sometimes audio completely cuts out & you have to turn the headset off & on again. I’ve had two now & same problem on both, plus the Steelseries return on the first ones was really bad. You pay the return & the return address is Belgium & very slow. Other than that though they are very good. Being able to save presets to headset when on PS5 & battery life on them is crazy good.

I have the steelSeries arctis 7p first edition series do you think this is a worth upgrading to?

[@RT-gaming]

My circle all use Arctis headsets and the mics are good but sensitive where they are positioned. Little too close or too far away and it changes drastically.

[@SanOcelotl]

just got this ones, i like them but i notice a small problem, when my mic is fully retracted inside the headset i can hear a little high pitch sound, even when im muted, not sure why but when i get the mic out it stops, weird issue

[@locutusGam3rs]

Do these have bass and is the sound good for music and gaming i also wanna hear around me. I have a dt 990 studio headset but they don’t work what do you recommend

[@kyleboggenpoel9234]

Hey Techne. Bought a set of kaira pro's for Xbox based on your review. When last have you used yours? I still find that it has a bit of a distortion every now and then. Have you got any fixes for this?

[@TheTechne]

I have been using the astro a50's lately. but when I did us the kairas they were solid. did you do the update?

[@kyleboggenpoel9234]

Yeah. Did it immediately out of the box. Updates to the controller and the console too. A friend also has one and has the same problem. I've got a series x, he has a Xbox one

[@michaelroby8878]

I have the 9x for my Xbox and a very large head and they still fit great. Best 200$ for head sets ever spent

[@jorgepalma1843]

Does they brake as the artics 7 pro? They simply snaps on one earcup after some time, I'm not the only one whos had that problem and for the price i think that the quality should be better and don't break for nothin

[@adamb416]

EPOS Sennheiser GSP 300 headset + EPOS Sennheiser GSX 300 gaming DAC Lightweight, awesome fit, great sound when pair up with the DAC. Most importantly looks dope af with my black/blue/white theme ;)

[@candidatepiety2186]

Do I need the USB-C dongle in order to use the mic? I lost mine and haven't been able to get the mic to work again

[@bluearmy4947]

Is the music sound quality good? Or these are just for gamimg

[@Zoharargov]

good review thanks!

[@TheTechne]

thank you

My first gaming PC headset was an Arctis 7. I loved the headset but the plastic started to crack around where it connects to the head band. I then bought the Corsair Virtuoso RGB SE. The corsair is maybe the worst headset I have experienced while gaming or listening to music due to the headset randomly adjusting the volume really loud and becoming distorted. I very much dislike the iCue software. I use headsets on my PC to both listen to music and game. What do you think is the best option to satisfy both gaming and music listening wirelessly on PC?

[@diamante4life01]

Honestly I have not found a single headset that offers arctis 7 features or better... the only gripe I had was lack of usb c but they even corrected that now.... I would suggest just get the arctis 7+ and be a bit more careful when taking them off

[@refixzezesez]

which arctis model has better sound? 5,7,9, pro e.t.c

[@Raziyel7]

I dont like that the 7+ doesnt come with the dongle with audio in and out. really love it hearing PC sound and PS5 sound through my headset at the same time.

[@OMoneyProductions]

I bought this recently after having the Pulse 3D headset and man it’s by far better than the Pulse headsets. I never bought a headset over $100 so every headset I ever had was kinda mid but these are amazing so far I’m really happy with it.

[@Its_Mik3]

Hey, are you using these for the ps5 and if so does the Steelseries have a on ear game chat mix control and does it work for the PS5? Thank you..

[@OMoneyProductions]

@@Its_Mik3 Yeah I’m using it for the PS5 and the chat mix only works for PC I think. I’m not a 100% sure though.

[@FractureLimit47]

Thanks man I was confused between the two, and I went to the 7+.

[@jey7230]

What’s the difference between the 7+ and the 7P+? I just ordered the 7P+ to upgrade from my Pulse 3d too

[@OMoneyProductions]

@@jey7230 It’s really the same headset just the 7p+ is geared towards the PS5 and the 7+ is geared towards the PC. But the 7+ has all the features the 7P+ has but the 7P+ doesn’t have some of the features the 7+ has if you want to use the 7P+ for PC.

[@34antetokounmpo76]

Please respond : is the Arctis nova pro wired a better gaming headset than the Arctis 7+ ??

[@OriginalKrusher999]

Great Video! Love this headset!

[@TheTechne]

thank you

[@rssko4829]

What i should buy for may Ps5 SteelSeries 7p+ or this 7+ ? Pls i need advice

[@GeeZish]

How long is the 3.5 cable? Can't find any info on this :/

[@alaynahardy5736]

I’m new to buying gaming headsets and I’m trying to buy the best one and get the best sound all around. Are those cushions a scam? Or would I be just fine with the stock cushions and still get nice sound?😅😭

[@allymoo6298]

Are these compatible with the gamedac? Or is it only wired headsets

[@poljackph]

Can you pair this with tv or smartphone when not gaming on pc?

[@321353096]

Which is better 7p+ or 9x?

[@Lunitiq_YG]

Can you mix the game chat and game audio on headset on PS5? I can't seem to get it to work

[@rochelynsaytallungan1164]

Hi! Is there are adapter that can be purchased to use the usb c dongle of arctis 7plus with iphone? Thank you!

[@frostydawggaming7999]

I like the steelseries headsets, but one thing be cool one day make a a headset with a detachable microphone that would be sweet.
