Style: Arena 7
Let’s address the elephant in the room: the SteelSeries Arena 7 and 9 speakers are not cheap. But why do I argue they offer the best value for their price? These aren’t just “gaming-grade” speakers—they transcend that category. Whether you opt for the 2.1 Arena 7 or the 5.1 Arena 9, you’re getting audiophile-grade speakers with a gamer-friendly design. And I don’t make that claim lightly; I own two sets of Arena 7s and one Arena 9 system. A New Standard in Gaming Audio: Typically, gaming audio hardware offers incremental improvements: slightly better drivers, basic tuning, and tighter quality control. Audiophile-grade sound is rare in the gaming space, but the Arena 7 and 9 break that mold. SteelSeries exceeds expectations by delivering more than just a gaming experience—these speakers are premium in both form and function. Extra Features that make the Arena 7/9 stand out: - The RGB lighting is a standout feature. When set up via SteelSeries’ software, the RGB effect is one of the best I’ve seen. Pro tip: By positioning the satellite speakers on either side of your monitor, you can improve perceived contrast. For the best effect, use a light blue or near-white color. Regardless of where you place them, the speakers look great. - A notable design feature: the satellite speakers are adjustable. Each one can be tilted to optimize sound direction, a feature not often found at this price point. However, the vertical-only tilting mechanism is a letdown, as a pivoting or raising option would have been ideal. - The Arena systems allow you to connect a headset, which automatically disables the speakers (something that used to be common for all audio setups, especially in the gaming sphere). They allow you to mix different audio inputs. These features elevate the Arena 7/9 systems above most competitors, even at higher price points. Many systems lack these two simple yet very necessary gaming centric features. On the Speaker Drivers and Sound Quality: The drivers in the Arena 7 and 9 go beyond standard dynamic woofers. Even high-end brands like Sonos use dynamic woofers to cover a wide frequency range, but the Arena systems use true component drivers for clarity and detail. Each satellite features a two-way split design (the Arena 9’s center channel is a 3-way split, with left and right woofers and a center tweeter), providing dedicated tweeters for crisp highs and woofers for mid-range and upper bass frequencies. This results in a full, accurate sound experience spanning from 38Hz to 20kHz. Both the 2.1 and 5.1 setups include a 6.5-inch bottom-firing subwoofer that delivers clean, powerful bass with minimal distortion. I was surprised by how powerful the subwoofer is—don’t place it directly on your desk unless you want to feel the rumble in your bones. Out of the box, the sound profile is neutral with a slight warmth. The treble is crisp, the bass is punchy without being overwhelming, and the mids are well-defined, offering excellent clarity for both dialogue and music. For action-packed games, adjusting the subwoofer’s volume (located on the back) is enough to get the punchier sound I prefer, but SteelSeries’ Sonar software provides further customization if needed. Connectivity and Versatility: One of the Arena systems’ biggest strengths is their versatility. They support a range of connectivity options, including low-latency Bluetooth, USB, Aux, and optical connections, making them easy to integrate into any setup. While HDMI ARC support would have been nice, it’s not a dealbreaker, as the design clearly focuses on gamers and audio enthusiasts, not the TV market. Using a PC as the hub unlocks the full potential of the Arena speakers. SteelSeries Sonar software is an industry leader in gaming audio, with a robust equalizer for fine-tuning and positional adjustments that simulate surround sound with exceptional accuracy. This allows the Arena 7s to deliver an Atmos-like experience for all content. The Arena 9’s control box is a neat inclusion. The Arena 7s are controlled mostly by a button on the right speaker’s base, but the display control box for the Arena 9 is preferred, as it lets you make adjustments without having to go into the software. Additionally, the included DAC (for when you utilize aux or plug in a headset) is top grade as well. I’d have to research to see what they’re using, but it’s either a Sabre or a proprietary chip—I wasn’t dissapointed with how well it powered my planar magnetic HiFi Mans and it actually sounded just as good powering my Nova Pro Wired (I have taken to removing nova’s included dac because of the cable mess.) The Caveats Now, let’s talk about the flaws. The biggest issue with the Arena 9 is the required USB connection for true surround sound. Even then, it’s not guaranteed. For example, the PlayStation 5 only supports upmixed 5.1 audio, and using optical or aux connections doesn’t help—they’re limited to upmixing by default. The same issue applies to the Arena 7, but to a lesser degree, as surround sound must be emulated regardless of the connection method. SteelSeries made a misstep with the Arena 9. Many potential buyers don’t have receivers or monitors that support audio over USB, and even when they do, not all audio formats are compatible. It would have helped justify the price if the system supported Atmos or DTS natively, but that would likely require HDMI. I’m baffled that the Arena 9 can’t decode 5.1 over optical. The final area of concern is footprint. Generally speaking, neither configuration is a space hog, but there is a great deal of cable clutter. However I’ll take cable clutter over low quality sound. It’s just worth pointing out because each speaker is wired into the subwoofer (as far as the Arena 7 is concerned.) the Arena 9’s cable clutter is as to be expected honestly. I prefer having a wired sub to the source over a wireless variety because they do not provide the same audio quality at higher volumes in my opinion. Why They’re Still Worth It For gamers and multimedia enthusiasts, the Arena 7 and 9 are worth every penny. While they don’t natively support advanced formats like DTS:X or Atmos, SteelSeries Sonar software provides a comparable experience, offering exceptional positional audio that surpasses what most systems in this price range offer. The Arena speakers also offer multiple connection options, making them incredibly versatile. Personally, I recommend the Arena 7s over the 9s, as true surround sound on the 9s requires USB, which again, could be a dealbreaker for some and rightfully so. Final Thoughts The SteelSeries Arena 7 and 9 are more than just gaming speakers—they’re audiophile-grade systems designed with gamers in mind. With premium construction, superior audio quality, and flexible connectivity options, they offer fantastic value for those seeking a high-performance audio experience. I rate the Arena 7s 5/5 (this is all most users will ever need, and they work with most TVs, etc., unless you absolutely need true surround, Atmos, or DTS:X decoding). I rate the Arena 9s 4/5 (true 5.1 surround requires USB, and the lack of HDMI ARC hurts their appeal, but the audio quality still makes them stand out). Quick Comparisons: Vs Razer Leviathan (Original): The Leviathan offers decent bass and connection options but falls short in audio reproduction and immersion compared to the Arena 7/9. Vs Leviathan V2x & Panasonic Soundslayer: These all-in-one systems beat the Arena 7/9 in footprint, but the Arena 7 delivers more power and better sound quality. The Leviathan V2 Pro’s simulated surround doesn’t compare to the true surround of the Arena 9. Vs Logitech G560 2.1: Logitech’s G560 provides solid performance but exaggerates RMS output. The Arena 7 excels with superior audio, virtual surround, and better connection options. Vs Creative Katana V2: Creative’s Katana V2 offers decent tuning but lacks the raw power and audio fidelity of the Arena 7/9. The Arena 9, in particular, delivers superior sound reproduction. Vs High-End Soundbars ($400–500): Premium soundbars from brands like LG and Samsung may offer better decoding but are unable to match the quality of sound. So it becomes a battle of trade offs as to what you’re needing. If you’re just looking to give you’re living room a good sound setup, I recommend the high end soundbars, but if you need something for your media pc hub, the Arena is your best bet. Whereas if you’re looking for a more true to life high grade audiophile experience. I doubt you’re even reading this review.

The media could not be loaded. My friends and I live across country from each other, but we still manage to hang out every night in Discord. We watch movies, play games, or just chat in voice. My laptop has a garbage microphone like most do, so I’ve been on the hunt for a good headset. I’ve had two sets of Steel Series gaming headsets. One wired (and I tried to take my laptop for a walk far too many times) and the Arctis 9’s. The Arctis head set is really nice and I love that it is wireless but they kill my ears. I’ve tried all the hacks and nothing worked. I’d had my eye on these desktop speakers for some time but was afraid to make such an expensive purchase with all the mixed reviews. It took FOREVER for these speakers to arrive for being a prime purchase. I ordered them the 11th and got them yesterday (the 18th). I was just too excited lol. Once they arrived I got them all set up and immediately they need a driver update. No surprise there. So I do the update and the light on the right speaker starts blinking purple and they won’t work. I’m trying everything in my pcs settings and nothing works. I try messing with the Steel Series GG settings, and still no luck. I try restarting my pc… nothing is working. So I google. I see this is an issue for a few people after updating the drivers and I’m panicking. Some people are stating they had to return the speakers because of this issue and that Steel Series doesn’t have a fix. Now this is the biggest reason I’m writing so much detail in this review. I thought for sure I would have to return them, but after I restarted my pc and reopened the steel series app… probably 10 minutes after, I get another notification to update the drivers. I figure what the hell, can’t get worse. Update the drivers again and voila! They worked! So, if you are getting the purple flashing light of death, I suggest updating the drivers again! I couldn’t find anywhere on the internet people stating there is a fix for this now, so I wanted to make sure to include it in the review. Hopefully if others have this issue they will find this and be able to fix the issue without having to send the speakers back. These speakers do sound amazing! I got the Arena 7’s and they fill my 400sqft apartment with enough sound that I worry I might annoy my neighbor. They sound better than the headphones imo. The lights are fun to play with, and they can be set pretty bright, or off. They have a ridiculous amount of adjustability. You can sync them to your games to tell you different things like your health. I can set them up in Discord to represent different notifications, like who is talking or if someone left or arrived. The possibilities seem endless. I do use these in conjunction with the Steel Series Arena Microphone and my friends stated they couldn’t hear anything but my voice on my end. And when I first got the speakers up and running I did have them pretty loud. The Mic is amazing and I actually forget I’m wearing it. Idk why it isn’t sold on Amazon, but it works beautifully with this speaker set up for people who have sensitive ears like I do.

These are hands-down the best computer speakers I’ve ever owned. The sound quality is phenomenal—crisp, clear, and surprisingly powerful for their size. I love that the rear speakers are wireless, which makes setup a breeze and eliminates the hassle of running long cables across the room. That said, you’ll need a nearby power outlet for them since they rely on wall adapters rather than being fully cordless. What really stands out to me is how plug-and-play they are—no fumbling with sound cards or optical cables. I just plugged them into a USB port, and my computer recognized them instantly, ready to go. That said, the LED controls are a letdown. The included software is clunky and poorly designed, and as of March 5, 2025, these speakers still lack support for OpenRGB. Worse, there’s no way to turn off the lights when the computer sleeps or at night—something the software doesn’t even offer as an option. It’s a small gripe, but it detracts from an otherwise stellar experience.
