  • Best headset I have ever had. The price is no joke but its worth it so far.
Color: Black Style: PC | PlayStation
It might be spying on me, but its the best headset I have ever had so I don't know if I care. Hands down the best headset I have had for gaming. The ear muffs are comfortable and soft but also breathable so your ears don't get as hot as with the plastic-y kind of ear muffs which flake of after a year. Mic is great and I love that it can retract into the headset and be out of the way when you dont need it. The easy to reach mute button and its associated red light are extremely convenient. Bluetooth range on headset is admirable. I can walk from one corner of my house to the opposite corner and one floor down with no change in audio quality. Battery life is many hours. The fit for my head is perfect and the adjustments for those who need them are good although im not sure it would be good for a small head. 100% would buy again, good value. HOWEVER, it might be spying on me. The light on the headset dongle goes off when the PC turns off. TWICE now I have come into my room after taking a shower in the morning to find the little light on and within 3 seconds of looking up at it, it turns off. There's no reason for that light to be on and I have never once noticed it on before but it just randomly turns itself on and then off right as I walk in the room???? Very sus. I went into Bios and turned the USB power to devices off when PC is off just to be sure. ... show more

  • I’m perfectly happy with this headset.
Quick background, skip if uninterested: I’m absolutely not an audiophile so this review doesn’t come from a place of incredible pickiness. My old (and cheap) headset broke in the middle of playing online with friends. I was very upset and rushed to Best Buy that evening in an attempt to quickly replace it. Needless to say I was tempted into buying something else(a different “gamer headset” brand) and hated it a lot. After fighting with that horrible setup for a few hours, I decided to order the Arctis 7+ here. Start of review for the particular 7+ model I bought off here: DELIVERY- I ordered it and it arrived wayyy earlier than I expected. I was so excited to try it out. So far I’ve used them them for about 2-3 months. COMFORTABLE- I can say they’re very very comfortable. Even after some 10 hour play sessions, I almost forget they’re there and bump them. The pads around the ears are a perfectly soft material. They’re a soft fabric material that does not break down like I’ve noticed the smooth fake leather to. These also don’t get too hot around my ears thanks to the breathable padding material. I have long hair and OTHER headphones tend to grab and pull out my hair a lot- I haven’t had that issue with this set except a couple times where the fault was all on me because I pulled a joint area through my hair. Otherwise, it seems it’s really hard for this to happen on accident like my other sets always did (Owwy!) Unlike most other headphones, this set has an elastic- yet soft- band under the headband that pretty much suspends the headphones over your head rather than resting their weight directly on the top of your scalp. I find that this design choice really improves the comfort for me, as with other headphone sets the weight and rigidity of the headband start to hurt over time. The Bluetooth feature on this also allows me to sit back, play from a couch, or go get a drink (important!) while still talking to my friends. SOUND QUALITY- I once again want to remind that I am no audiophile. After getting these and starting some gameplay, I immediately noticed highs and lows I wasn’t hearing from my old headsets. Little environmental sounds, instruments in soundtracks I never noticed or heard before, subtle feedback sounds from button presses and menus, I recall calling them out to my friends and them being equally surprised I now noticed them. One of my personal gripes with modern headphones lately is that every company wants to make super bassy sounding headphones, as the average person associates quality with bass for some reason. Out of the box, all of the sound levels for these are perfect in my opinion, not too bassy or anything. If you wanted bassy headphones out of this though, you could easily just go in and change that using the steel series sound control app. I haven’t changed anything myself because I like how they sound as is. Another thing I wanted was independent volume control for the headphones, which this has! Not only can you control the volume with a dial on the headset but you can also adjust wether you want chat or game sounds to be louder than the other on the headset. I was also concerned that audio quality may differ between wired or wireless connection, but everything seems fine regardless of connection type. Mic quality is decent for hanging out and talking to friends. We never have static issues, it never catches annoying background noise, no chirps, so far I’ve heard no issue myself. The mic quality probably isn’t something you’d use for high quality production, like making videos, podcasts, or streaming. Though you probably could do any of those things if you’re not a stickler for recording quality. I feel it’s mainly a headset for comfortably gaming- a role it’s more than fulfilled for me! NOISE CANCELLATION- I’m personally indifferent to wether my headsets have noise cancellation or not. I don’t live in a particularly loud place, so I don’t get to test this one out much. Every once in a while another family member may approach me to ask something, and I can hear them at that point, but not if they call from another room. The outer side of the mic has a small mic that picks up sound outside your headset and feeds it back to you with a subtle and quiet delay. I’m not used to that myself but it does come in handy here and there. It does sometimes also trick me into thinking the headset mic is picking up and putting outside noise into my calls (it’s not though, confirmed by friends). I’m indifferent to this feature, as it hasn’t caused me too much issue and I’m pretty sure it can be turned off. OTHER FEATURES- The mic is posable and retracts, it’s a pretty nice way to store the headset or just get the mic out of your peripheral vision until in use. There’s a small button on the left side that mutes the mic, when muted the mic lights red, which is a pretty handy visual reminder as in the past I have often found myself talking for minutes on end to myself while in calls with friends (lol). The headset comes with some other wired connection options, even a headphone Jack option. To connect to your computer it DOES use a wired dongle, so if you are trying to save on USB port space, be aware it does take one. I’m not sure how to measure this, the Bluetooth connectivity works throughout my whole room and even in the rooms immediately over. I am usually able to go to my kitchen and prepare myself food or drinks while still enjoying music or talking, so long as the battery has a decent charge. The battery life is REALLY good. I personally have always made it a habit to charge anything when I’m not using it, so I never see it die. BUT to vouch for its lifetime- one time I didn’t realize the USB end of my cord wasn’t plugged into my computer until after a week of thinking I had been charging it nightly after game sessions and daily use. This thing lasted a whole week of /at least/ 6-8 hour use daily with absolutely no charging that whole time before I just happened to pull on the usb for it and find it had never been plugged back in that whole week. So for sure with this headset, unless you’re playing insanely all the time with the highest volume in use, you’ll never see it die so long as you check it in for a charge here and there! End summary: Overall I can say I’m very happy with this headset. Definitely has become my favorite one. I would strongly recommend it to anyone that wants a headset suited best for comfortable gaming and chatting. I was skeptical of Bluetooth functionality before buying, but it has WELL PAST won me over. ... show more

  • Worst Headset I've Ever Owned
Color: Black Style: PC | PlayStation
This is, hands down, the worst headset I've ever owned in my life. I owned the Arctis 3 for multiple years, but they were starting to have issues (especially with battery life as I used it every day for meetings), and I was looking for a replacement. Decided to go with an upgraded model of what I owned, the Arctis 7, but that was a huge mistake. For starters, the wireless receiver if you don't want to use Bluetooth is elongated horizontally in a way that it blocks other USB-C ports on my devices. Then, by default, the headset has on hearing your own voice while talking, which I cannot use as it is too distracting for me. The only way to turn off this feature is to install the specialized software, which is impossible on my work computer. I did this on my personal machine, then tried to connect the device back up to my work computer, and the end result was that the wireless connection no longer worked on my work computer at all. The device would be connected on the computer, but no audio input nor output was received. I switched to Bluetooth connectivity. This resolved the above problem, with no voice-playback, but the Bluetooth is horribly built. Sometimes the headset won't connect to Bluetooth at all and needs to be power cycled to work. Sometimes it will connect, but receive no audio input nor output and had to be power cycled OR disconnected and reconnected to work, there's no guarantee on either method and it was complete trial and error. When you're trying to connect these to start a meeting, this is insanely frustrating. The killer for me, above all the rest, is that eventually the device stopped working on Bluetooth at all, and I had to un-pair the headset from my work computer and re-pair to get it to work. This an annoying process because you cannot do it while the device is already on for Bluetooth, you have to turn it off, then back on, and hold the Bluetooth power button to initiate a pairing event. Which may or may not succeed. Sometimes the work computer couldn't see the headset, other times it could, despite no other conditions changing. Sometimes, it would pair only to continue the earlier issue. After this happened to me three times in a day, I threw them away. I couldn't take it anymore. In addition to the rest of this review, the headset has a distinct Bluetooth power and Wireless power, which work distinctly from each other but are also reliant on each other, it makes no sense. Every part of user-interfacing hardware on this device is infuriating in its functionality and design. In terms of sound quality, at least it had that. Audio was crisp and clean, and I received reports from peers that the microphone quality was significantly improved over the Arctis 3. I just wish everything else wasn't completely awful. ... show more
