Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Arctis Nova 7 wireless is overall a solid headset. They are easily one of the most comfortable headsets I have ever worn. One main issue I had with the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless was setting them up. You pretty much need the steel series software to use them, and it took a while to figure out why they were not connecting. There is a lot of customization you can do with the audio and the microphone which is a nice plus. The default microphone setting is not the best, at least for my voice. But with some fine tuning you can find a setting that fits your voice well. The Arctis Nova 7 is fairly portable and can be used as bluetooth and 2.4GHz connection. The battery life is solid for a wireless headset. I do think the audio quality is quite good. There is nothing that is necessarily bad about this headset, everything is about average. The audio quality and how comfortable the headset is do rise above the rest though. Overall I would say it is worth your money if you are looking for a wireless headset.

I bought it and found it somewhat comfortable as lingas you dont wear glasses. With glasses, it pulls the glasses into the bridge of the nose and gets uncomfortable. My primary issue with it and why I returned it is the sound quality. Even at max, the volume comes up pretty low workable, but not for audiiphiles. Most importantly, though, it has absolutely no noise canceling at all. Wgen you put them on you hear EVERYTHING going on outside the headset and the cup makes it sound more aplified which interferes more with the quality of the sound of the speaker. Considering there's plenty of competion that is significantly less expensive and offers active noice canceling I returned it

I give this headset 5 stars. There's not much more I could ask of a quality headset. These are comfortable to wear even for hours. They stay in place without being too tight, They have some weight to them without being too heavy. The ear cups are super comfy and keep outside noise down. The sound is great with good bass. Controls are easy to reach and use. Connection was quick and effortless. I did need to use a USB to USB-C adapter since the laptop I use doesn't have a USB-C port, but it caused no problem at all. The mic is clear, nobody has had any trouble hearing or understanding. The ability to be in game and talk to friends on Discord or take a phone call is at the same time is awesome. No more missing calls because I didn't hear it ring or having to pause while I take a call. Controls for the each are on opposite cups making it easy to switch and forth. The ability to pause music and restart it when ready is also there. This headset does it all and does it very well. I haven't had to charge it back up again since the initial setup so I can say it holds a charge a very long time also.

Since I work 5 days a week from home and constantly on the phone I needed comfortable over ear headphones with an excellent noise isolating microphone. Even though these are marketed as “gaming” they are superb for use with Microsoft Teams and laptop use. I hope this review helps others that may be in the same position. Also, they can be connected to your cell phone simultaneously and you can easily multitask.

I've heard of SteelSeries before, and from what I've read, they make some of the best gaming headphones and accessories on the market. Unfortunately, with the Arctis Nova 7, I don't really understand what all the buzz is about. Out of the box, these headphones have a nice weight to them. They feel durable and premium. I like that it charges via USB C and even the wireless adapter features it. Set up went pretty quick. You need to download the SteelSeries GG Software to get the most out of your headset. Once the firmware was up to date, they were tested in different games. To start off, sound quality on these is fine. I normally use Corsair Void Pros, which I feel give more of a "vibrant" sound then these. The Nova 7 seems a little bit too quiet and slightly muffled. I tried it with Dolby Atmos for Headphones using Windows Spatial Audio, and that made things a bit better. As for the microphone, I was having issues on my Discord calls where it would pick up wind blowing from a fan across the room. Also the Mic Feedback is not the best, it was a bit tinny. The button controls on the side were a bit hard to feel when wearing them. Speaking of wearing, comfort is actually not that bad. I have a bit of a larger head, so I had to open the earcups to the largest size. Padding is quite comfortable as well. I was expecting something amazing with the Arctis Nova 7 Headset, but the sound and mic quality just weren't there. SteelSeries got things right with using USB C and making the headset feel solid, but they did not put enough attention to where things matter.

Best mid range headset for playstation!! Sound is very well balanced with highs, mids and lows all working great with the 3D audio tempest. Mic quality is lacking but still clear enough for competitive game play with squads. For under 200 bucks it packs all the best you can ask for. Bluetooth, multiple ways to connect audio all day comfort. Only draw back earcups are on the smaller side and you can't use standard wicked cushion replacement pads to improve the sound isolation but overall a solid 8.5 out of 10 headset

Great headphones especially for gaming. Bought as a gift for someone and he absolutely loves them. Sound is good and headphones are comfortable.

It has a good design, good sound quality, and is lightweight, but the lightweight is a double-edged sword as it doesn't stay on your head too well. It's great for completely sedentary gaming sessions, but that defeats the purpose of wireless in my opinion. The built-in mic is just okay as well.

I own the nova pro wired for my PC. However wanted a wireless headset for my laptop, quest, and playstation. This headset blows my mind the blue tooth and 2.4 connections work incredibly well and at the same time, the audio quality is outstanding and the comfort is amazing as well! 5 out of 5 for me, for the money no wireless headset even remotely close to this price point can compete. Not even close!

Decent headset! During the initial setup my headset bugged- getting stuck in bluetooth mode. The bluetooth button would pulse even when headset was turned off. After research, I discovered plugging in the aux cord would fix this as it resets the mode switching. Optimistic about this headset- even though it bugged during set-up. I wish it was more noise cancellating. Enjoying the build quality. Not as much bass and mids as I’d like for cascual listening.

I nave recommened this headset to countless friends. As I already have one they get the chance to use it and immediately buy it afterward. Best all around headset ive used since the title beach 420x i ised back on xbox 360. I play on every console and pc rn and this headset holds up. Very durable ive dropped it too many times to count. I feel like onmever have to dharge it.

Very. Very. Good. I use every day and I hear everything

Great headset with excellent audio and mic quality. Only issue is when the microphone is on, it will pick up your voice and other noises and you will hear it in headphones. Other than that, it’s a great headset and I would recommend

Can not get the headphones overly loud and the mic boom does not stretch far enough to be ideally placed. That said the sound quality and utility is great. Easy to set up steel series quality build.

Great sound and feels light on the top of my head with hours of gaming. I really like the fabric ear covers too over the leather ones. Only con i found is the random turn off of the head set mid game but doesnt happen often

Really good quality my son loved it and is happy !!!

Really solid and comfortable I enjoyed the easy use of the headset and the little time to setup also I was surprised by the sound of the headset

If you've ever listened to music and thought, "Wow! I sure like the way this sounds!" then do not buy this headset. The sound quality is really muddy. Sounds blend together, and the default sound profile is really heavy on the bass. That's great if you're playing an FPS game and want to hear footsteps as loud as possible, but if you're listening to music, instruments totally drown out any vocals. I couldn't get a good sound with the default EQ software either. Using the SteelSeries Sonar app, which gives you more control over the EQ, I got closer to tolerable, but it adds a ton of latency and still isn't worth the cost. There's a lot of good things about this headset. The ability to listen from your phone and your PC at the same time is super cool and worked well when I tried it. Being able to route applications through different audio channels and balance them differently *would* be great if it wasn't for the added latency of the virtual audio devices. They're also look more normal than most gaming headsets- I'd be more willing to break these out in the library than I would be for other gaming headsets that are flashy or bulky. They're fairly light, and they fit well enough, if maybe a bit loose. I played multiple unreasonably long Valorant sessions throughout the week I owned them, and they felt comfortable all throughout. My friends told me the mic sounds like I'm talking through a tin can, and when I record myself and listen back, I can hear where they're coming from. I ended up returning these due to the poor sound quality, the poor mic quality, and the added latency from the Sonar app. Would not recommend.

Works well, audio sounds good dont like the microphone much but iv been using a desk mic for a while.

Only complaint is the surround sound isn't as good as my old hyperx, other than that its the best headset i've ever tried.
