Q: Do these work with the new Xbox? It says every other platform except Xbox…
A: Nope. You'll want the "Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X Gen 2 Wireless". Make sure there's an "X" next to the 7 for compatibility with Xbox. Don't know why the Xbox version is hard to find thru BestBuy's own website... I had to search offsite for results! https://www.bestbuy.com/product/steelseries-arctis-nova-7x-gen-2-wireless-over-the-ear-multi-gaming-headset-for-xbox-pc-ps5-switch-handheld-black/J3GWPZ3C9Y/sku/6642819

Solid Purchase
I did a bunch of review reading prior to purchase and this Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 Wireless Gaming Headset does not disappoint. I tried the GG software and ended up uninstalling. They work well with the Windows 11 drivers and let me game listening through the dongle (2.4 GHz wifi connection) simultaneous with Bluetooth. The sound from these are solid. Actually they sound BETTER than my Bose Ultra Quiet headphones when listening to Spotify via Bluetooth. I do like the Game Companion and tons of presets it comes with. I have kept that installed on my android phone and do use it for presets and sidetone adustments. Overall, I'm VERY happy with these headphones.

A little expensive
The gen one came out a while ago and the gen two doesn’t change enough about it to still warrant a $200 price tag. It’s still a great headset, it’s just the same as the gen one with more sound settings on the app.

Good option
Crisp audio, can also use as headphones via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth range isn’t very long. Very easy and intuitive system to set up. comfy on the head. Feels well built.
