These headphones have a wireless transmitter that comes in Xbox and PlayStation variants, so it's important to get the right one to match your console. By slightly hearing my own voice through the headset, I can easily adjust my own speaking volume to a proper level.The best SteelSeries headset we've tested is the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. While chatmix allows you to balance in-game audio and in-game chat with teammates, sidetone allows you to control the amount of microphone input that is routed back into the headset. Personally, I prefer the sidetone dial on the 7P. Sidetone over chatmixĪ difference between the Arctis 7P and 7X that I haven't seen being discussed much is that the 7P comes with a sidetone dial, whereas the 7X is equipped with a chatmix dial on the right earcup. However, some might consider this nitpicking as the USB-C can also be connected to a regular USB port by using the supplied USC-C to USB-A cable. Unfortunately (and I hoped this wasn't the case), when using the 7P transmitter on the PS5, the USB port next to the USB-C port on the front of the PS5 becomes unusable - a slightly different form factor for the transmitter could have solved this.
Whereas the larger dongle of the 7X prevented me from using USB ports next to the USB-C port, I didn't encounter this problem while using the 7P. Still, the transmitter of the 7P is quite a bit smaller than that of the 7X and has an advantage when it comes to connecting other devices, especially when using it on a PC. A strange decision from SteelSeries as most multi-platform users with both a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are better off with the 7X. The transmitter that comes with the 7P is considerably smaller and lacks this so-called "Xbox" mode. The 7X has a slightly larger USB-C dongle that packs a switch that allows users to connect the transmitter to Xbox consoles. Basically, this is due to the wireless USB-C transmitter of the Arctis 7P not working on the Xbox Series X|S. Strangely enough, though, the 7P doesn't offer the same versatility as it isn't compatible with Microsoft's next-gen consoles. Additionally, the 7X offers amazing versatility by being compatible with almost all USB-C devices, including Xbox Series X|S, PC, Android devices, Nintendo Switch, and yes, PlayStation 5 as well.
SteelSeries' outing is comfortable, offers a great sound experience, and comes with great battery life. The Arctis 7P is available in both white and black.Īs I wrote in my review, the SteelSeries Arctis 7X/7P is among the best wireless gaming headsets currently available in the price range between $150USD and $200USD.
