The Actic Nova 7X Gen 2 headphones have truly set a new standard with SteelSeries headphones in my opinion as this headphone has some really clear sound to them with the SteelSeries GG software while using the Sonar feature of the software your able to distinguish footsteps clearly more so that ever along with hearing other types of sound in games such as whispers from spirits among other that I honestly haven't heard in games before When I heard these sounds I had to try them with a YouTube video just to see how clear the sound was when someone was singing and omg the one video that the group Disturbed put out a few years ago with Sounds of Silence never sounded so crisp with before to me. That's just some of the pros that I personally really like, other than the fact that they are comfortable, fit snug, battery when charged fully last up to 51 hours,fast charging,very comforable ear cushions and the fact the mic is one that you can push into hide when not in use along with true noise canceling. Also from what friends have told me while playing some games with them the mic is very clear. The only con for me is the colorof the set I got being white and to me it means constantly cleaning them in the long run when they do start to get dirty if they do lol other than that Steel Series came out with anouther great set of wireless headphones. For any gamer that want clear sound to the point of hearing footsteps clearly or for just listening to music theis is a 100% get in my opinion

This is my first gaming headset from SteelSeries, and I’m really enjoying it a lot. The exterior of the unit is mostly plastic with a matte finish, save for the outer headband which is made of a thin band of steel with silicone on the underside. This gives it a high degree of durability and flexibility. The headphones are also lightweight and comfortable to wear thanks to a reasonable clamping force and soft inner elastic headband that rests on top of your head; I find that this design feels more secure and exerts less downward pressure than foam padding. The ear cups swivel slightly more than 90° and can be laid flat when not in use. You can adjust the length about an inch on either side by firmly pushing or pulling on the hangers which glide smoothly without set increments. It requires a good amount of force to get them moving but once set hold their positions well.
The foam ear pads are around an inch thick with a sizable cavity, perfect for larger ears, and fabric mesh exterior. I found them to be soft and breathable, and they didn’t trap a lot of heat or make my ears sweaty during extended use. I like that the interior headband is adjustable as well, so you can alter its flex and tension. Both the elastic headband and the ear pads are removable for cleaning or replacement, which is important from a longevity standpoint. I also thought it was cool that the exterior plates on the cups are magnetic and can be swapped with other colors and designs, allowing you to customize and personalize your headset.
On the right ear cup are a Bluetooth button, power button, game/chat mixer dial, and USB-C port, while the left has a mic mute button, volume control dial, extendable flexible boom mic, and 3.5mm jack. You can use the included 5-pole to 4-pole AUX cable for a wired connection, pair with any Bluetooth device, and connect to the 2.4 GHz WiFi USB-C dongle across platforms like Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch etc. Just be sure to change the toggle on the dongle to ‘Xbox’ if using with that console. Note that the USB-C port is used for charging only and will not transmit audio when plugged into a device like a laptop or computer. The WiFi dongle is a bit bulky and has a short connector, but thankfully a USB-A to USB-C extension cable is included.
The Nova 7X support simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connections, so you can mix game and mobile audio from your phone, for example, if you want to be able to take incoming calls while gaming, which I thought was pretty cool. The power button activates and controls playback (play/pause, skip track, and call answer/end) for the 2.4 GHz connection while the Bluetooth button does that same for BT connections. By default, sidetone is enabled, so you can hear yourself talking and any audio captured by the microphone in the headset’s audio. You can adjust sidetone volume or toggle it off in the Arctis Companion mobile app or using SteelSeries’s GG software on a computer.
The sound quality on these is excellent. It’s clean, crisp, and well-rounded with a good amount of bass support. I was also impressed with the spatial audio (surround sound) performance as the directionality of sounds and their placement in a 3D space was accurate, creating a more immersive, realistic experience whether playing an FPS game, listening to music, or watching movies.
You can use the software to set EQ presets for each input source independently with over 300 choices for specific game titles. To create custom EQ profiles, enable Sonar (mic-input AI noise canceling), or update the headset’s firmware, you will need to use the GG software on a computer as these features are not available in the mobile app. The mic also has a handful of EQs, but personally I think captured the audio sounds boxy and thin overall. However, I’m used to studio mic quality for content creation, so I wouldn’t expect that level of clarity from a gaming headset. For in-game chat and phone calls it works just fine. I like that the boom slides completely into the ear cup when retracted and the mic sits flush with the housing for a clean look. With Sonar AI noise cancelation enabled, the software was able to remove most background noise that is “non-voice,” especially when you’re not speaking which the other folks in your chat will likely appreciate.
Overall, the Arctis Nova 7X Gen 2 is one of the best gaming headsets that I’ve tried. It sounds great, is comfortable over long sessions, and has excellent battery life rated to last over 50 hours on a full charge and around 6 hours with just a 15-minute fast charge. If you do run out of battery, you have to option to use a wired connection, though would lose access to dual-input audio mixing and changing the settings in the app as both Bluetooth and WiFi connections are disabled when the AUX cable is plugged in.

It's amazing for its sound quality features and all the optimization you can do but it get quiet annoying to wear it for long periods of time as hard headphones inside hurt your ear if you have medium to big ears
