SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P Wireless Gen 2 Gaming Headset – Real-Time App Control, 50+ HR Play, Neodymium Magnetic Drivers, Mix 2.4GHz/Bluetooth, PS5, PS4, PC, Switch 1/2, Mobile – Black

While no longer the year of the dragon, this headset is still legendary.
As a long time PC gamer, this is probably the best headset I’ve ever owned. I’ve rotated through a lot of brands; Razer, HyperX, Skullcandy. But I think SteelSeries is where I’ll be purchasing from for now on. I’ve had the headset so far for two weeks and have almost nothing but compliment to say about it. First, it’s extremely stylish. Red is usually reserved for accents on gaming headsets, typically paired with black. But with the year of the dragon edition, red takes center stage and is instead accented with a beautiful gold color. Second, it fits perfectly and is comfortable to wear for extended hours at a time (so far I’ve had sessions of about 12 hours with it). The cuffs on the headset are very soft, but have a strong form as well so they fit great around the ear. And the top of the headset is cushioned with a soft fabric band. Bonus points for the band as it has a dragon scale pattern carved into it.Third, it offers a lot of versatility for connection methods. It includes a 3.5mm cable for wired connection, wireless connection via a USB-C dongle (which comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter), and simultaneous pairing via Bluetooth. This means I have no problems using it with my phone, tablet, PC, laptop, steam deck, or even 3DS.Where it could improve is it’s microphone. The microphone is by no means bad, but leaves a bit to be desired. Thankfully SteelSeries Sonar, the PC companion for SteelSeries’ headsets, allows you to heavily customize your mic to your hearts content. You can use it to adjust the sensitivity, noise gate, EQ, and much more. Not only can you modify your mic, but the audio that you’re listening to as well. The audio out of the box sound fantastic don’t get me wrong, but SteelSeries Sonar allows you to modify the audio of whatever you’re watching or playing, letting you fine tune if you want to hear more bass out of your music or better isolate footsteps or directional audio in your games. However, the headset can be used perfectly fine without SteelSeries sonar.I’ll probably come back in about 6 months to update this review, as I’ve seen a few people mention long-term degradation of the headset. I’m so hoping this isn’t the case, as this headset has blown me out of the water so far my expectations for it are pretty high.

Privacy Loses Again
I had an Arctis 7 Wireless that lasted ~7 years, maybe more. I loved the dual channel audio, and that headset was virtually perfect. I only bought a new one due to the old battery having issues, so naturally I thought the “same” headset would be great. And it would have.Steelseries is going down the same route as every other corrupt tech company. You have to have horribly inefficient software, developed by a team who can’t even be bothered to effectively localize the UI, which also happens to just malfunction multiple times per day. For example, as I write this, I am fighting some outlandish, out-of-the-blue issue where the software sees it yet WILL NOT route audio to it. It happens frequently.FWIW, lifelong software engineer here, so you know this is not an overly harsh evaluation based on a lack of expertise. I know software, and I know when a team is lazily/sloppily contracted for a rushed product. Localization (and a lack thereof) is a massive indicator that they just hired the cheapest vendor they could to rush the software along. If that’s not the case, it means THEIR OWN TEAM is that lazy and sloppy, which is arguably worse. If a company literally cannot be bothered to even ensure the product’s language matches the AUDIENCE THEY ARE MARKETING TO, there is a problem there, no matter how you look at it.This headset is trash. I will never purchase anything Steelseries again. Keep your janky spyware to yourselves, I’ll just use a headset that… works… You know, as in, audio comes out of the monitors? Yeah, that kind of headset, the functional kind.Protip: If you’re going to spy on folks, maybe make your product WORK so there’s at least minor incentive to stick around. As it stands, I have a pile of garbage that appears to be a headset. No thanks.Tags: Insecure, privacy, scam, garbage, buyer beware, where TF is this software sending all this data, janky, poorly designed, incapable, unrealistic, misleading, untrustworthy, deceitful.

Comprei por causa do prometido som espacial 3d para jogos de tiro em 1 pessoa. Mas, no máximo é igual ao som estéreo. Da pra identificar esquerda ou direita. Sons de cima e baixo são mais confusos que um Alpha antigo que usava antes dele.

Bought this for my wife and this is her review:For the price these suck.Cons: The ear space is way too small. I’ve never considered my ears to be big but these still pinch the top and that makes them super uncomfortable, even giving me headaches if im going to be using them for more than one hour.This is on me as i should’ve checked before but noise cancellation is -100. You get better cancellation from airplane earphones. While talking your voice creates this awful echo that is not only annoying but also disruptive.Pros: sound is good. Battery seems to last a reasonable amount of time.If these were 50cad i wouldn’t be complaining but i payed +200cad for them and i dont think they are worth even half of that. The plastic and pads even feel cheap (guessing that’s why the echo is so bad).My husband has a very old SteelSeries model and its great. Ear size is bigger, sound is as good and you don’t hear the echo of your own voice.Im returning them and i wouldn’t recommend buying this product, there are way better and cheaper options out there.
