Feels great, has both game & phone audio simultaneously, which is a perk. Worth it if that's what you're looking for. Little pricey, software is a little non-intuitive for fine-tuning, but great headset if you get a sale.

Excellent sound and love that I can have it connected to my xbox and my phone at the same time. Can listen to podcasts and play and both sound great

Very good headphones for gaming. Crisp sound. Easy to use. I didn’t like having to hook up to pc to update. Mic picks up everything even background noise. Not sure how to fix that part yes.

Super easy to pair, incredible range on the wireless, and pretty comfortable, especially if you have a big head and can’t fit into stuff like a JBL headphones for a long period of time

I was a turtle beach guy for some time. Then I gave Steelseries a shot. I have no intention of swiitching brands. The performance/features to value ratio is excellent. Great quality product, and awesome sound quality. Just all around good headset.

If you already are familiar with the top gaming headsets you are familiar with SteelSeries - the brand. But did you know that the parent company is based out of Denmark, the same company owns the Jambra brand as well as many others? That the headphones are manufactured in Vietnam, not in China? The headphones are excellent, and the history of the company is top notch!
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Gen 2 is the Swiss Army knife of gaming headsets (versatile, reliable), and packed with features that actually matter. Whether you're gaming on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, or Switch, this headset delivers premium comfort, killer sound, and unmatched multi-platform support.
The moment I put on the Nova 7X Gen 2, I understood why comfort is its superpower. The ComfortMAX system uses a stretchy suspension band that distributes weight evenly across your head—no more pressure points or "headset headache" after hours of gaming. The memory foam earcups wrapped in breathable AirWeave fabric keep your ears cool and comfortable, even during intense gaming sessions. I wear glasses and have a larger head, and I hate that clamping feeling most headsets give you. The Nova 7X Gen 2 feels like it's floating on my head. In a particular demo video from the manufacturer, the headband is hit with an anglegrinder to show its strength and resilience. I don't often have an anglegrinder on my head, and I definitely don't recommend it. But it does go to show its durability, and presumably these will stand the test of time. The only gripe I have about the headband is that the material is a bit slippery. I have to reposition it often to keep it in place. The earpad material feels great, and so comfortable! But I worry about how durable it'll be, and how soon they'll need to be replaced.
Powered by custom 40mm neodymium drivers, the Nova 7X Gen 2 delivers balanced, immersive audio that hits the sweet spot for gaming. The bass has enough thump to make explosions feel impactful without muddying crucial audio cues like enemy footsteps. The real game-changer is the 360° spatial audio support, which works seamlessly with Tempest 3D Audio on PS5. You'll hear exactly where enemies are coming from, giving you a competitive edge that feels almost like cheating. Plus, with over 200 game-specific EQ presets accessible through the mobile app, you can optimize the sound for whatever you're playing. The dual wireless connectivity lets you connect to your console via ultra-low latency 2.4GHz while simultaneously pairing with your phone via Bluetooth. Take calls, listen to music, or chat with friends on Discord without ever pausing your game.
The included USB-C dongle is a masterpiece of engineering—with a simple flip of a switch, you can instantly switch between Xbox mode and standard USB for compatibility across PlayStation, PC, Switch, and even mobile devices. It's the ultimate "one headset to rule them all" solution. SteelSeries cranked the battery life up to an insane 54 hours on a single charge—that's more than two full days of continuous gaming. Even with both wireless connections active, you're still looking at 38+ hours of playtime. The fast charging feature gives you 6 hours of gameplay from just a 15-minute charge. That's enough time to grab a snack and get right back into the action. Battery anxiety is officially a thing of the past.

The app has over 300 custom sounds. Needs to be updated using a laptop or PC. You might be able to update it on a mobile device. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled. Yes you can connect Bluetooth to your phone and game at the same time just need to level the sound.
