We tested and reviewed the popular wireless SteelSeries Arctis 7 gaming headset.
Read our full review here and find out if this headset is worth buying.
The SteelSeries Arctis 7 is a wireless gaming headset with plenty of features and a strong soundstage.
Its comfortable, looks good and sounds good.
An impressive wireless headset for a reasonable price.
Thats where we come in.
This wide aluminum band is a design element that sets the Arctis 7 apart from its plastic predecessors.
The fabric head strap also winds its way through the band to cover the top of it.
While the headband has good width adjustment, the height adjustment is non-existent.
For those with larger heads (guilty over here!
The swivel joints are almost too mobile though, and a little loose for our liking.
The cushioning on the pads is so comfortable, though with deep padding and soft fabric.
This fabric covering also keeps your ears a lot cooler than a leather outer would do.
And what does this mean?
Extra weight, of course.
Due to the absence of RGB lighting, the Arctis 7 doesnt ostentatiously cry look at me!
Im a gaming headset in the same way that many others do.
SteelSeries does make the bold claim that the Arctis 7 boasts the best mic in gaming.
Lets move on to look at the main feature of the Arctis 7 full wireless.
Youll find a wireless receiver dongle, 3.5mm jack cable, and a micro USB charging cable included.
That said, it does power down automatically when not in use, which helps with battery longevity.
What about the all-important wireless signal and range?
And what impact does all this wireless fun have on the battery life?
When it comes to battery life, SteelSeries promises 24 hours of battery life in the Artis 7.
Still pretty impressive for a wireless headset that performs at the level of the Arctis 7.
But what about that performance?
This is a headset after all, so of course, we want to know how it sounds.
Software
As with the whole Arctis range, the Arctis 7 usesSteelSeries Enginesoftware.
But they are nice to have and are to be expected in a headset of this price.
The Verdict
The Arctis 7 certainly brings more pros than cons to the playing field.
