Customer Ratings & Reviews

My family seems to be on an endless search for a durable, great sounding gaming headset. I have 3 sons that seem to go through their headsets quickly for some reason. After, using these Nova 7s for a while I think this might be the one, they settle on. As soon as you take these out of the box, you can feel it’s heft, not in a bad way. Not like it’s going to weigh on the crown of you head and cause discomfort, but like it’s a quality product. The earcups are nicely padded, the band and outside of the cups are sturdy and allow for flexibility for a great fit. The knobs, I love that they aren’t buttons, for sound volume control are great and easy to feel. The power and Bluetooth buttons are easy to use as well, as is the mic mute button. After using this headset for a few long gaming sessions, I can say that they are very comfortable. No heating of the ears for me, or discomfort around or on the top of the head. The only thing that I am a little unsure about as far as build goes is the retractable mic. I haven’t decided if I feel like this is a great way to make sure that the mic stays safe when not using it, or if this will be a weak point that might fail from use, I am hoping the former. The SteelSeries GG software offers an incredible amount of customization to an already stellar sounding headphones and mic. Even when tuning the Spatial Audio setting, I love how you can set the separation of the 7 areas and chose to focus on Immersion of Performance. The software can be a little overwhelming with the number of options, but I would recommend with using some of their preset configurations as they have some for just about every popular game on the market. Then, when you have time delve into the software and really make the sound your own. This is a phenomenal gaming headset. Great build quality and comfort, impressive sound, and a quality mic really make for a solid package any gamer would be happy with. The only thing that some might not like is the lack of any RGB lights, or that the mic doesn’t mute when you push it back into the headset, you need to make sure to click that mute button. Neither one of those were issues for my use case, but I could see how some might be deterred by them. If you are fine with those two things then these are an easy recommendation.

I had the Steelseries Arctis 7 for a long time before deciding to try out this new Arctis Nova 7. This is definitely the successor to that older headset that made me a Steelseries fan. Compared to the old 7 the Nova is substantially more comfortable, sounds better, and has nice improvements such as USB-C for charging and Bluetooth capability that allows simultaneous use with game sound. It really is a very nice upgrade in nearly every way. My biggest complaint is the microphone has a different shape that makes it a bit harder to push back into its space within the left ear cup and no longer has the red LED that would indicate it was muted. Otherwise, the controls are mostly intuitive with volume wheel and the mute button on the left side and Chat/Audio mix wheel and combo power/Bluetooth on the other. That combo button is frustrating to use, it is not immediately evident how to even turn off the headset because holding it down like I do with most other devices of the like just turns on Bluetooth pairing instead. You can run the included cable to make it a wired headset if you choose or use the 2.4Ghz USB-C based dongle for wireless play on PC, PS4/5, Switch, or mobile. Thankfully the dongle can also be used with the USB-C to USB-A extension cable to avoid covering up the USB-A port on the front of the PS5 with the dongle itself which is another unfortunate negative. Lastly it includes a USB-C charging cable rounding out the accessories in the box. The old gen headset used their “ski headband” which I found very comfortable although I had to use it on its largest possible adjustment for my big dome. The Nova has evolved that design with a stretchy inner band that hooks onto a few different points and the earcups can also be adjusted in or out of the headband independently. This makes it even easier to get a proper fit for us large headed individuals and is extraordinarily comfortable. I can wear it for many hours and barely notice it’s there and that is perhaps the most important aspect of a headset for me outside of pure sound quality. I like being able to sync up my iPhone to it to be able to hear any important notifications or take a call, and the mic is more than up to the task for both calls and game chat. I am told it sounds clear and crisp. Sound quality is very good, I can hear everything around me and 3D audio on PS5 is in full effect. I’ve heard both better and worse in headsets but again compared to the older Arctis 7 it is an improvement. Cap it all off with all day battery life and it’s a very solid and compelling choice. I am happy with it and recommend it.

The sound is really good and I love the long battery life, only have to charge like once a week. And the Bluetooth feature is so easy!

Headset is good and comfortable there is a low level speaker output that is audible when no sound is coming out from the speakers still generating vibrations but overall a good headset. Being able to use Bluetooth to a phone and gaming sound at the same time is nice you can play music or have a phone conversation without removing headset or disconnecting from game simply mute game mic and talk on phone with headset mic.

Excellent headset it has supreme sound and the design is really cool and it’s extremely comfy it also has very go longevity

These headphones are fantastic! The sound quality is clear and immersive, with great bass and balanced tones. They’re super comfortable for long use, and the build feels durable. Battery life is impressive, and the wireless connection is seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-tier performance

I’ve owed this headset for 2-3 Years now. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. The connection on it is very stable. The sound quality of the headset is very crisp and the setup is extremely easy! You can never go wrong with a wireless Headset. I wouldn’t recommend using the microphone included in the headset due to the headset being wireless, The quality isn’t the best. Other than that the headset works amazing, Super light weight no pressure on your ears.

I previously had an older arctis steel series model for my gaming headphones and enjoyed them so expected these to be a good fit. After getting them I can confirm that this was a good purchase for me. The wireless capability works without any problems although i still use the wired connection to my ps5 remote so I dont need to charge. The comfort is better than my previous model and the mic is also very clear for my friends to hear. Overall i am very happy with this product!

Feels light to the touch around the ears, but also strangely secure. I wear glasses and it doesn't press into my skin to the point where it hurts after a bit. The sound quality is pretty great. The battery life and especially the charging speed is astounding. Only knock is how awkwardly shaped the wireless plugin is. I run a PC and it's not a great fit for the tower, but it comes with a wired extension to compensate.

These headphones are great for an overall standpoint. I use them for a variety of things such as gaming and online class. The spatial audio is great after you get the tuning right. Can be scratchy and off if you don’t. The overall comfort is great. They come with an auto off after a time of inactivity which is great because I often forget to turn them off. So the battery last multiple days. Overall I think they are great.

I picked up the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 wireless headset to use with my Steam Deck, and it’s been a fantastic upgrade. The sound quality is crisp and balanced, with great clarity for dialogue and plenty of depth for music and effects. Wireless connectivity has been reliable with no noticeable lag, which makes a big difference when gaming on the go. The headset is also very comfortable for long sessions. The adjustable headband and lightweight design sit nicely without causing pressure or fatigue. Battery life has been strong as well, easily lasting through multiple gaming sessions before needing a charge. Setup with the Steam Deck was quick, and the controls on the headset are intuitive. The mic sounds clear, and being able to mute it instantly is a nice touch. If you’re looking for a dependable wireless headset that pairs well with the Steam Deck, the Arctis Nova 7 is an excellent choice.

They work as expected. Im really impressed with the battery life of this headset. My son spends HOURS at a time with these on, and he never complained about the Fit of this headset. Very comfortable He also loves the sound quality of the Mic.

Excellent and reliable headset. Fast charging for quick and easy game sessions. Great audio. Simple and user friendly buttons and volume access. Super convenient pull out mic that doesn’t feel awkward when not using mic, and feels like a headset. Comfortable for long use. Only con is that the mic picks up everything. Would love a voice filter to drown out the background when gaming. You’ll need to adjust the sensitivity on you mic.

I have a back up headset because this seadaet disconnects on location for no apparent reason. It also picks up background noise more than my other headset. Other than that, the headset is very comfortable and the sound quality is great for the price.

Feels great sounds great. Absolutely love it. Best brand ever!

I really like the Steel Series for their gaming headsets that work with all devices. Whether it is my iPhone, iPad, work computer, PS5 or Nintendo Switch I can dial right in. I also love the dual feature with Bluetooth to allow for simultaneous audio streaming. Gone of the days of having one ear open for another headset. It comes with a cute little cardboard figure and updates via the computer are simple. I like the flexibility and range is good.

This product is everything the box describes. Easy to use great connectivity to my console and long lasting battery. Audio and mic work well and overall have had no issues at all.

Man i love these headset. Great quality n sound that sounds crystal clear n everyone heres u clear when speaking on the mic. Also while playing i have my Bluetooth which i can be playing cod n talking on my phone at the same time so its a 2 n 1 deal.

Being able to connect to Bluetooth & 2.4Ghz simultaneously is awesome enough, adding great sound on top of that…. What else do you need? Easy buy, only better if on sale.

Great set of headphones. I have had steel series before and these do a great job eliminating background noises in voice chat. Also Bluetooth is awesome when it works to have dual outputs
