These headphones, which are the arctic nova five X wireless have the same exact drivers as the series 7 pro wireless. Nova has a 50 to 60 hour battery life. The seven has two interchangeable 20 hour batteries. Nova get one gold star lol. The nova has a companion app for your cell phone that allows you to control the equalizer and over 260 different presets for all different sounds. The series 7, requires you to connect to your computer with a wire via an extra peripheral called a gameDAC , and this thing would be convenient, but can’t hold remotely as much presets as the companion app for the cell phone for the nova. The nova can also be connected to your computer to add custom presets to your app which allows even more diversity, but you don’t need to. Nova gets another gold star. This year the nova introduced a new microphone that blows the series 7 microphone out of the water as far as sound quality And that’s another gold star for the nova. The nova has double wishbone suspension as a pull it to hold the cups firmly on the ears. The series 7 has only one arm on one side of each headphone cup. This can fatigue, the arm after a while, causing the cup to become a little relaxed, and it does not grip the head as hard. The nova is not too tight, but it is snug to keep the sound in. The series 7, also costs almost 3 times as much as the Nova 5x. The series 7 is made with aluminum and nicer materials, but they are also all interchangeable except for the main solid headband that goes across the top. Where as the nova five is made out of material and a thick plastic, it depends really on if you like aluminum or not, but you can’t tell by looking at it that’s just another difference. I have two friends now that bought the seven after I bought the five and they are very upset. I think I got mine on Amazon for under $120 and they spent a little over $300 for theirs. they are happy with the headphone because they’re a good headphones but they’re not happy that they spent the money not realizing that the series 7 is definitely going to be refreshed this coming year. Save yourself the money do you research steel series versus steel series on YouTube you’ll find everything you need to know about the two of them versus each other. This way to save your money for some more video games.. PS because of the 2.4 GHz/Bluetooth dongle. I was able to get the Xbox version faster and still connect it to my PlayStation five. Using the 2.4 GHz dongle. The only difference between the seven and the five is that the seven can connect to your console or computer and still using 2.4 GHz use two channel Bluetooth to also answer the phone. Then number five I believe has 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, but you have to switch between the two of them when using the game console at least but the phone will ring in your ear to let you know you have a cold you just have to switch with one button on the side of the head. I think you’ll find the pricing a little confusing as the pros seven series also seems to fluctuate in price between the Xbox, the PC and the PlayStation version as much as $50 difference between them and there is no difference between them literally so I don’t know why there’s a fluctuation in pricing. Somebody knows I’m not sure if you can reply to my review but let me know? I hope this all helps. Just make sure if you do get the Xbox version for the PlayStation five that you have the 2.4 GHz dongle. It’s a long rectangle. It’s about 2 inches at best but it has a toggle switch. I got the Xbox one because it shipped immediately. I was gonna have to wait a few days more for the PC or the PlayStation version. I’ll tell you that the companion app on the cell phone does wonders using the 260+ presets for the EQ switch instantaneously and on the flight consistently without having to plug into the computer. And without having to worry about a gameDAC or two separate rechargeable battery packs that you have to swap into your ear every 20 hours when you just plug in the series 5 and get 60 hours worth of play. It’s not standby time by the way that’s playtime. You can play every day for eight hours a day for a whole week and still have some hours left over the sound quality is great and you’re just listening to music using your phone they pound. !!! ... show more

    • Get the X version
Style: Xbox Color: Black
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I was having a hard time deciding between the 5x and the 3x. Because of Prime Day deal, the price of the 5x was the same as 3x. So I bought both. They both sound great and you get pinpoint directional clarity. They both have good mics and the companion app has over 200 presets to help you really dial in on specific games. Note: don't let the low rating on the app on Google Play deter you. The app is awesome. The low ratings are from people who bought the 7x and Nova Pro not realizing that this app is only for the 3x and 5x. I have 2 PS5 Pros, 2 Xbox series x, and 2 Quest 3 headsets and it works on all of them. Why they make a P version is beyond me because the X version works for everything ... show more

    • It's perfect...But
Style: Xbox Color: White
Review Image by Sam Sam
Review Image by Sam Sam
Review Image by Sam Sam
If I could give half stars I would. If I could, I'd give it a 4 and 1/2, it's so close to being perfect, but some small things kind of bring it down for me. Since I have a larger head, and am a particular type. I enjoy the headphones, but there are some things that I REALLY like, and things I DONT like. It's still OVERALL recommended, and for this price, is okay. Compared to the normal SteelSeries site, which is more expensive...sadly, but I would say, overall a good purchase. Especially if you are coming from a headset that is much quieter, which I was, as a RIG 700HS, to this. It was a nice shift, and change of pace. Pros: Packaging was nice for the headphones, feels very clean, professional, it was a fun opening experience, especially for those like me, who do not often buy the more "luxury" type of brands, or items. Delivery was perfectly fine, thanks to Amazon delivering on a Weekend, that was nice. Too bad the rest of my setup can't do that, haha, but still good! The band at the top feels really comfortable, doesn't hurt the head at all, just overall a good feeling headphones Simple mute button to mute the mic on the microphone, the microphone is also push in, and pull out, so it's easy to put away, and you don't have to worry about it, and it looks slick as well, without having a huge mic bulking out of it. Also, be aware, if you push it back, that will NOT mute it; you have to hit the mute mic button, on the back of the mic. It will give you a red LED, but don't worry...you can remove that in the App! It also a chat mix, and game mix, to where you are able to raise, and lower between if you want things in your chat mix, like people talking, or stream elements going off, like follows and stuff, or you prefer your game, to which you cannot hear any of that. You can also keep it in the middle, where you can hear both. A really nice feature, is the 2.4 ghz, to blue tooth. It's a simple button, boom, boom, switch back and forth. AND these headphones will lock into like your phone blue tooth, so you can have your headphones in blue tooth on your phone, and hit 2.4 at your computer, and later...when you hit Bluetooth again, your headphones will already be ready, and activated on your phone, if you had not turned Bluetooth off on your phone. It's a great feature, and really neat! Cons: Size: The headphones can seem...a bit small? I don't know how to explain it, but the arms that bring the earcups down more, for those like me with a larger head, it really doesn't go out much. So, those with big heads, can find it a bit worrisome, as I was concerned it might not even fit my head. The arms just simply don't go down that much, and support that wide variety of heads. But luckily! If you are thick headed, from left to right compared to up and down...SteelSeries has got you covered! It was great when it came to stretching it out to the sides...so that's a plus! Shape: My ears are slightly too big, so it does sometimes shift and fall a bit for me, so that kind of sucks a bit, but the ears are still comfortable. Fits for long periods of time, so I don't have a problem with that! It was easy to setup, not a problem at all on the PC. Software: My main problem is the software sadly...The idea is neat, but I will also say that, there are some issues that I would like to point out. Expect to do research to a degree on it, just because it's a bit more complicated than I would really say it should be. Now...I'm not talking about the EQ's themselves, that's fine. I mess with that, and I have experience with that, but for those of you who don't... Sonar: Expect to rely on SteelSeries' Sonar. They have over 190 Pre-built EQ's...Some are really good! But others....or rather most...are not at all. So, expect to use the ones they have as a base model and experiment from there. So, really...to get the most out of these headphones, coming up with your own EQ is pretty beneficial for the best sound quality possible. There are some GREAT videos out there, if you truly don't know anything about EQ's, but truthfully? It's mainly just about going out and experimenting with it, and finding out what you like for your sounds! I will say, another thing...I don't know, if this is just me not know it yet, (since I just got it today) or if it just isn't a thing. However, I wish if I was using Sonar, and i had launched Baldur's Gate 3, it would automatically switch to a Baldur's Gate 3 EQ, and or another EQ that I have setup for that game to switch automatically too. Then, if I launch another game like Batman Arkham Knight (which DOESNT have an EQ) but I've set my own EQ to it, then it'll automatically sense that game, and switch that set EQ. I think this is beneficial, and really makes it easier for those, who just wish to simply switch games, without having to go through, alt tab, switch EQ's, etc., etc. It's more of a small complaint I would say...since, Alt Tabbing really isn't that much, but you know, it's the little things! Overall Message: Great Headphones! They work great, they're simple, they're fun to use, it's fun to mess with things, and if you have a quiet pair of headset, don't worry...This one has you covered! (Little Tip: Turn off Sound Limiter in the settings if it's too quiet for ya...Don't worry, we got you head bangers covered!) But other than that, it was a blast to use, and am content with my purchase! ... show more

    • Great gaming headset with nice additional features.
Style: PC Color: White
I purchased these recently and have used them for gaming, music and office work. I would give these and overall 9 rating if it would be just for gaming. I am picky about my music and this is the these are the EQ settings that I came up with to help tone down the peaks and achieve a more natural sound. -3.0, 195, 1.5 -3.0, 3.2k, 3 +3.5, 4.4k, 4 -2.0, 6.4k, 6 +2.0, 20k, 0.5 I do feel that there is a noticeable clarity loss in the 8K and upper frequencies. When comparing to my wired headphones I can tell with music and some videos where there are higher vocals there seems to be a lack of crisp-ness. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and as always audio reviews are always subjective. ... show more
