- This is the Provoked Prawn and this is a review of the @SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 wireless, complete with mic test, a look at SteelSeries Sonar software and more on PC.
I've been using this headset for a couple of weeks testing it out and comparing it to my daily driver - the Nova Pro Wireless and I'm happy to report that the Nova 7 wireless is surprisingly good in a number of ways. It sounds great, it's reasonably comfortable and it has decent battery life too at 38 hours.
Highlights of the SteelSeries Nova 7 wireless:
- Dual Connectivity with 2.4GHz and Bluetooth at the same time
- Decent battery life with plenty of warning when you're running low
- Multi-platform capabilities (but best on PC)
- Connections for 3.5mm on the headset
- Flexible and comfortable sound
- Highly customisable audio in SteelSeries GG and SteelSeries Sonar
- Mic AI noise cancellation and of your friend's mics too!
Low lights:
- Scratchy ear pads
- Not as snazzy as the Nova Pro Wireless

Been having these for a while, picking them up after having the arctis 7 for a good bit. Probably the best decision I’ve made.
How is the hinge in terms of durability?
@@fejotore haven’t had any issues so far. It was also a worry of mine but I take care of my stuff so I’ve yet to have a problem
I have the arctic 7e currently. How does the nova 7 compare to the arctic 7s?
@@quokkanok they felt lighter but just as sturdy. The change from ski goggle band to the current one isn’t that bad, a lot of people worry about the hinges but I’ve yet to have a problem since I try to take care of my stuff but I am occasionally a little rough with them and the sound I think it better but that could be do to me using sonar and eq. Overall a good upgrade but not a significant jump depending on your needs it may be worth it
@@thats_alot_of_bees3993 I love the arctic
7s, but i have to get a new pair of headphones because the charging plug on my headset disconnected and fell into the shell of the headphones, so i could not charge them in any way. From what your telling me, my understanding is that its mostly an upgrade no matter which way you look at it
I picked up a pair of these from eBay yesterday, brand new, £95. I bought them to replace a pair of Arctis 9 headphones (which is another pair of headphones I rate highly), and I am really happy so far. They are much lighter than the Arctis 9 headphones; for a person with a relatively small head, lighter headphones tend to be more comfortable.
I found the Arctis 9 headphones didn't integrate brilliantly with Sonar, so I disabled it, but the Arctis Nova 7 is so far brilliant with Sonar. I don't play too many games, but I did test Sonar using Hell Let Loose and the positional audio was just... it was brilliant.
I've listened to some high-quality audio tracks (ogg) and the clarity/quality of the tracks really does transfer well through these headphones, even if they are not audiophile/professional grade.
I've only been using them for a few hours and I am really impressed so far - even though my Arctis 9 headphones are still going strong (but the battery life is terrible now, due to so much use), I will be giving them up and using these new headphones.
I’m getting this headset and replacing the stock ear cushions. Excited after watching this video!
Hope you enjoy it!
What ear cushions did u get
@@cipratac17 Wicked Cushions! I went with the mismatching 90s white & black, although if you want to mismatch cushions you have to buy both packs. Great value and comfortable, also keeps your ears cool! Just don’t accidentally buy the pair that are for the Pro Wireless, there is a specific pair for this headset, that thankfully the support switched my order to before it shipped.
@@cipratac17wicked cushions has awesome cushions for these SteelSeries lineup !
yeah what ear cushions did u get
The design is extremely good, they're incredibly comfortable. I got the D4 edition, couldn't be happier.
Picking mine up in store tomorrow lol just order them after watching this video. Even got the d4 ones cause they still had some
Hello, can you connect them with cable to pc, so You can use them wired?
Yes you can
thanks for even showing off the sonar
Is Sonar reliable now, please? I had a lot of problems with the drivers. Great review with a ton of useful information. I wish all product videos were like this! I love the jazz tones in your voice, lol
Best video I found for the Nova 7 thanks
Glad it helped
I've had these for a year. Hands down the best I've used
Just got them today. I was using the cloud x stinger before. The bass and sound on these is nuts!!!!
got me convinced im buying them now and receiving them later this morning
@@AohJeezrickdo they work with iphone
Man if i had to to get a new headset, this would be it
although i dislike the 1 bracket for holding the cup, they had to use 2 like in nova 1 and 3
Why are you here then?
@@quatreraberbawinner2628 just to suffer
thx for the video really good quality! i was wondering is the an option to use the headset for pc using the the dongle (not bluetooth) and receive calls on your phone using the bluetooth at the same time ?
Yes you can.
Quite thorough, that. I doubt the battery life. I wonder if it is possible to tell if the battery does not have a few hours left on it.
It makes a beeping sound when it has few hours or less left
They look so clean aswell, most "gaming" headsets are big, clunky, weird looking ones
Will the Mic sound better on PC if it’s plugged in?
Hi great video, just grabbed a set. Are you doing the adjustment on a Mac as I can’t see the sonar option on mine.
Thanks in advance
Can you use a phone charger to charge them? How long does it take to fully charged when connected to a PC?
38 hour's battery, 30 minutes charging an you grt 6 hours of Gaming, battery it's the best thing on this one. 7, 7p, 7x, 7 pro.
Nice review!! Better than G Pro X Wireless ??
Interesting photo of Mr Candy-land behind you there
gonna get this headset to replace kinda bad g933 (mostly due to horrible software) hopefully this is THE one to be the best wireless...
Is steelseries arctic 7p+ or the steelseries arctis nova 7 more comfortable?
Should I upgrade from the Arctis Nova 3 to 7? Sound stupid, but I just want a good headset with wireless capability.
How do the new lower tier nova 4 compare to these? If its worth to pay extra for these or get nova 4 for cheaper instead?
Is the sound quality comparable with some (headphones) I mean is it professional?
For gaming it's more than enough, for music it's ok sound I mean a clear and balance sound, it's not that loud with Bluetooth, but sounds so clear.
@@theprotectorplay7399 thx man 🙏
I bought the 7P version to use on the computer. But there is a hissing sound coming from the headphones. Do they all have this problem?
Any way to switch between configurations from the headsets themselves
Great video !
3 questions....
1) Are all these settings saved locally in the headset or do i need to keep the software running all the time for them to take effect.
2) Is there a difference in audio quality between 3.5mm and 2.4ghz dongle ?
3) Lets say i have the dongle connected to my pc and i connect the headset through 3.5mm to save battery. If i disconnect the 3.5 jack, does it connect to the dongle automatically ??
1. I’m pretty sure these settings are saved locally and can be used on other devices as long as you use the 2.4ghz dongle
2. Yes there was always a difference between wired and wireless and this headset is not an exception.
3. Not sure what the question is exactly but I think when connected with 3.5 the headsets electronics are turned off and when you disconnect 3.5 I would assume you would need to turn on the headset since it was off in order to connect to the dongle.
I just bought mine. I cannot access the engine software any ideas why?
now i am quite confused which one to choose between steelseries arcic nova 7 and razer barracuda x, which one is better thanks 😢
I've not tried the Barracuda X but this is a great headset
@@TheProvokedPrawn ok bro thanks for the lightning rep 👍🤣
I don't have a PC so is there a way to get the best quality sound from this headset on PS5?
Hi guys, I have the problem that when I join a party on the Playstation 5, the others hear me very quietly. I reconnect the USB cable every time. Then the station reconnects and they hear me. Is there a solution to this?
This or the razer blackshark v2 pro 2023?
Hello sir. Can you please tell me what I need to do to adjust the headset sound settings for playing Call of Duty on PS5? Can I still use the sonar on console or atleast go adjust sound EQ for it in my laptop that will then apply to the headset on console? I’m having trouble hearing footsteps in Warzone with the out of box sound settings.
Does this work on xbox and switch?
W video thanks , idk if this or Hyper X is better
this
Tbh coming from the HyperX Cloud II wired these sounded horrible, even when I adjusted the EQ settings in Sonar. The sound in Call Of Duty and other games sounded so stale, like I could hear footsteps but couldn't pin point exactly where they were it was only "oh he is in this general direction". I ended up returning them and going with the beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 ohm version with a DAC/Amp and the sound quality is literally 100x better. Don't get me wrong if you don't care much about the sound quality and more about the wireless factor and the features this headset is great.
Literally?
@@kennymccormick8295 Literally bro, sound was bad.
Idk man, I feel like it way just you, I got these arctis 9 to use for now until I can return them for the nova 7 and on MW2 with sonar eq for mw2 they sound amazing for competitive gaming. Im pretty sure youre not suppose to use it for "amazing immersion" but for exact locational footsteps which are 10/10 with this headset
@@Im_SSJay idk man, my dt 770 pros are miles better than those
I mean...obviously high ohm wired headphones with a dedicated DAC/amp are going to sound better. I don't care how much money you spend on a wireless set a decent wired headphone is going to be miles ahead.
Received mine today. I don't know. They feel comfortable and all but I'm a little bit confused with the sound quality. It's like I'm hearing very very quiet crackling sounds. And I'm not sure.. if this is the fabric of earcups or if it's broken headphones. They are not loud or anything but once you listen very carefully for them.. Once you hear it, you can't forget it. Had headphones for 100 Euro before these with leather earcups cover and the sound was much cleaner. I thought that maybe the problem was because it was wireless but then I plugged it in with wire and no difference in sound quality.
weird problems. Sorry to hear it, have you tried firmware updates?
@@TheProvokedPrawn No I haven't. Will try to do them. Thanks for an advice!
Can I get a tutorial on setting up rodecaster with Nova Pro Wireless or wired
th-cam.com/video/_xksXrdKywI/w-d-xo.html
@TheProvokedPrawn absolute legend love your content mate a voice I could listen to for hours haha
I tried these out for a bit but had to return them. Nothing has beaten my audio technica ath-g1wl even considering they're very old.
Are they bad or just not as good
I really like my Arctis 9X Wireless but would like better audio quality in headset mode, would the Nova Pros give a significant uplift in audio quality?
If you want audio quality you get wired headphones.
Can I connect these to my new iPhone 12 i was gunna buy a used pair got a good deal on them
Can I turn off mic monitoring?
What headset would you recommend for ps5
The sound is to low for me, no matter what I do, played with the app etc :(
black shark v2 pro 2023 also same as steel series nova 7 but it has 70 hrs of battery and both are same price so black shark is better to get
As an Xbox user how do I customize sounds for certain games and apply them to my Xbox. I’ve simply paired the headset with the Xbox and the sound quality is extremely disappointing
You have to set an EQ on the Steelseries software on PC and save it to the headset. The EQ you save will work on console then.
Just got these about a week ago and haven’t been able to find a solid answer regarding how to tell when its fully charged. I game on my PS5 and I charged them for about an hour and the led light blinked green before I decided to disconnect them. Is that what is supposed to do once they’re done charging?
Green means full and yellow means it needs more charging? That’s what I’m assuming. I only got mine today so I’ll have a look into it
@@elvin6065 After charging them multiple times since I first got them I figured out that you need to wait until the green light stops blinking, it will actually turn off once its completely charged.
Can u use this headset with a dongle in the pc and Bluetooth on ps4 because I want to play on my pc but still talk to friends on ps4 party chat
Are these more or less comfortable than Corsair HS80?
I just got the HS80 and they are so uncomfortable and painful I just can’t stand them even if I love their looks
I suppose that depends on why you think they're uncomfortable. I found both comfortable but there might be more room in the Nova earcups though
@@TheProvokedPrawn first of all thanks for your answer and congrats for this channel because it’s amazing!
I believe the issue is that the HS80 have absolutely no “extensible” parts, which is a bit insane to me. I bought them because I was 100% sure they would be, but my mistake for not researching before getting them.
I’m a bit mad because I really like them actually, I wish they wouldn’t hurt my ears that much
Can we use this particular headset with Microsoft Teams and Zoom?
Yes
Sound is horrible. Worse than Pulse 3D. Returned them. Very flat sound no depth, no bass. EQ didnt help from recommendded settings i found.
Man, I've seen some people saying that the audio is much better than pulse 3D...
@@Nacional-Socialismoit is way better lmao. I have both and the pulse sound terrible compared to these. Dude probably has it set to microphone audio instead of game audio in windows
@@Cheatman5 😂😂😂 Your response was amazing. Really, he must have set up the microphone or he must be a Sony fan. I also have an arctis nova 7x, it's amazing.
does this work on xbox and pc
7x is for xbox, 7p is for playstation, everyone buys the 7x because it works both ways
Do they work with ps5?
7x ye. (It works on Xbox, PC, smartphone and Playstation).
they better then Cloud 2 i play mostly FPS games Valorant/CSGO2/Overwatch and footsteps track need to know
Would you recommend these or the arctis nova pro wireless headsets?
I'm doing that video soon 👍
I’ve been getting bad reviews from other speakers online they’ve been saying it sounds bad and loud
Do you know how I’d be able to fix this?
Power button tends to broke so quickly, keep in mind.
Well over a year later and mine is still working just fine.
@@TheProvokedPrawn It happened to me at 2nd year. See you in a year and let me know!😀
@@abellotix that's hardly quick is it?
14:12 damnnn.. my headsets became dual shock 😮😂
Would these be an upgrade over the RIG 700hx?
Oh definitely ive had those headphones before too but I recommend getting the nova 7x model since its more cateres toward the xbox
@Elated Glint well I went with the nova 7 for my pc gaming. But since they can be used for xbox as well I figured I'd let my nephew have my RIGs
Im planning to buy a $20 faulty(doesn’t charge) steelseries nova 7.
Would I still be able to use it through the 3.5mm jack?
Do the eq settings carry over to ps5
Do you know how to transfer it from pc to Ps5 cause I'm dumb
Can i go with them to the gym?
Hey how you doing, so i currently have a pair of steelseries 7p+ and im looking for an upgrade/change
I mostly play call of duty and currently have the
Hyperx cloud 2 wireless
Corsair hs80
And steelseries artic nova 7p wireless
In my cart
Which one do you consider as an upgrade and a recommendation
Which ones did you end up getting ?
@@Jeff_Sigmon nbs i ended up getting the blackshark v2 pro 2023 edition but i want something else since the mic on it its great but the sound is not loud enough, they’re ok but i want something else, if you’re on pc i highly recommend iems over any headset
@@MikeForeign I have the hyper x cloud 3’s but thinking about trying the steel series arctic nova 7’s . I have ps5 and mainly play fps games so need to hear foot steps
@@Jeff_Sigmon try putting the audio to “tv” in mw3 if you play it, it boost the footsteps more. I think the problem with these headsets in console might be in the wireless feature, i heard the wire version are much louder and that can definitely help better, but of course we want wireless lmao
Bought these instead of Astro a40s for the 4th time lol
Won’t be your favourite when u try turtle beach stealth pro
The Stealth Pros are uncomfortable and overpriced for a largely plastic headset. Had them for a week and returned them. Went back to my Nova 7. If you’re spending $300, it makes no sense not to get the Audeze Maxwells. Much better quality and sound than the Stealth Pro.
@@chrisminer7290How's your Audeze Maxwell?? I hear they break easily..
How would you compare this headset to the blackshark v2 pro 2023 edition?
th-cam.com/video/4ZXzvcW1tZs/w-d-xo.html
I don't undertsand how this channel has under 100k subs. should be 2+ million easily.
That's very kind. Thank you.
It's youtube's algorithms. I've seen channels with thousands of production hours quality videos and they never go off to more than 50k subs.
Probably their voice., I couldn't get through it because of how piercing it is.
@@Kamehamebrah ok
100% agree, I'm always surprised when I land on his vids.
Yeah I just got the arctis nova pro wireless and I absolutely love them!! I don’t know why people say they’re garbage and overpriced???
Wouldn’t call them garbage but honestly, the look of them just doesn’t make me wanna take them outside or to the gym, still has that gamer look. With that said because they will never leave my computer room I’ve got no need for noise canceling, so why not save 150 bucks? I only need noise canceling on a headset I would take outside or to the gym.
Just bought these today. I love them. They’re EXTREMELY comfortable. I’ve had them on for 4 hours WITH GLASSES and can’t state enough, it’s like they’re barely there.
Edit: I came from some Turtle Beach 50x wired headphones 😂😂
Yooo I appreciate you added that bit about glasses as that’s usually why I have to take some headsets off after a while
@@Whyyousnoopin man at this point, I game for 6+ hours at a time (I know get a life lol) with no fatigue on my ears at all. They’re so soft. They have even became my daily drivers for when I consume content. Either on my laptop or my phone I believe I’m in love and it was well worth the money. If you’re on the fence about them, pull the trigger fr
man they are very comfortable. i had to return my cloud alphas cause they were uncomfortable after an hour of use and my ears got really warm too. glad i paid the extra money for the nova 7’s , imo the sound quality might be a bit better than the Alphas but way more comfortable.
Do you recommend it I have hyperx cloud 2 I want to go for a wireless one
@@q2uik idk honestly. For me they’ve been the best headphones hands down. The comfort over the last 6 months hasn’t changed. They’re duper comfortable. I’ve even started using them just to watch videos on my phone to keep from disturbing my gf at night. Sometimes I even forget I have them on lol. Like the guy above me said the sound quality could be just a little better but if you’re coming from wired I don’t think you’ll be disappointed
Tried these out and had to return them. The earmuffs were very uncomfortable to me. I also did not like how flimsy the retractable mic was, it moved around too much. Sound quality was very nice however.
yeah, i bought them 2 days ago and returned them the day after, tested them for like 1hr and felt my ears kinda hurting from the earmuffs and they are also smaller than the arctis 7.
are these ear cushions good for long sessions? 8-10 hrs? online classes? do they heat up?
Great review with specific details that other reviewers don't mention. When looking for tech reviews, i used to watch View Count to see which video to pick. But now i only click on your reviews. Keep up the great work you're doing.
I appreciate that!
I don't feel any scratching . Barely feel the band across your head . Connect easily and sound great .
Good price . Winner !
Underrated channel!!!!!
Thank you.
Hello how to save sonar setting on headset to use on Xbox ?
I’ve essentially narrowed it down to the corsair hs80 max and these ones, any input is appreciated
I'd go for these personally. More flexible. Not as comfortable but more device compatible and lots to like.
I'm looking for this.
my priorities is comfort, bluetooth, and sound quality
i mostly wanna use this for my online classes for 8 to 10 hrs a day, my current headphones' ear cushions are of leather and they heat so much i get pimples around my temples. are these ear cushions good for long sessions? because i see they aren't made from leather...
They don't get hot. You should be fine with long periods
@@TheProvokedPrawn thnx for confirming mate
Why TH-cam start recommending to me this videos after I had already buy them? Before buy them, founded for videos about nova 7, but found very few videos 🤔
TH-cam search as always..
do you have to use the dongle on pc?
For wireless yes
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks, i was worried i wouldnt be able to plug it into my pc because i dont have usb c but then you showed how it has that adapter. Thank you, great video!
Have you experienced any creaking sounds coming from the headset while putting them on?
You can use on Bluetooth on them from pushing the Bluetooth button I am using it on my phone rn without the plug in
I am currently using the steelseries arctis nova 7 purely because of the convenience of sound quality and simultaneous connectivity (bluetooth and 2.4Ghz). The major problem I have with them is the audio crackles a lot especially if it gets too high but it also happens sometimes even when the audio is pretty low.
I need a pair of headphones where I can game on my PC whilst also talking to my friends on a PS party (unless I can somehow join a ps party from my PC). I play games such as Overwatch 2, Fortnite, COD MW2 and valorant so footsteps and game immersion are pretty important for me. My budget is around £150 but it can be increased.
Also, can anyone explain how to fix these crackling noises I find on my Nova 7s and does anybody know any good EQ settings (on Steelseries Engine as I also game on PS5) for the games I have mentioned.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
I've not heard any crackling. Are you sure that's not faulty?
@@TheProvokedPrawn I bought the 7x aswell and mine crackles too. brand new pair not faulty. I’m going to get the rig headset steelseries arnt loud enough. And sound bugs in games I’ve had nothing but problems with the 7x
@@BazzaQlapsxI have not experienced any sort of crackling at all. I use my headphones on high volume most of the time. I have never heard a single crackle. Might want to contact the manufacturer
I have question for you. Do you have problems connecting your headset via bluetooth? Also, do you have problems disconnecting your headset from your PS5?
I thought I was the only one, I noticed that it crackles really bad when I have music playing and when it's full volume when my music is lower, it doesn't crackle. When you crackle does your voice sound laggy? I've been told I sound like a robot or someone with a poop internet connection
The headphones are nice but the fit is much better on the Arctis 7s. They fit much better imo. Everything else on the Nova is better but the fit is just much worse imo.
Guys, It's about my PS5, on which I tried 5 pairs of headphones. Razer Barracuda, Arctis 7X, Corsair HS80, Razer Barracuda again and now Arctis 7.
Only on the first pair did the microphone of the headphones work for a while, but as I read, Razer has a problem with the dongle for that model of headphones, in the sense that it disconnects after a while and no longer works wirelessly.
I kept looking in the settings, at various tutorials, etc., but nothing.
I want to mention that when I go into the console settings to test the microphone, it works, but when I go into Call Of Duty, it doesn't work.
Do you have any idea what it could be?
im too dumb for this head set i hear my self when i have the mic turnt on
What good is that, that you can pull out the side of the headphone?
How is the mic monitoring?
THIS? or Logitech G Pro X2 Wireless ?? .. im looking for great sound quality for single player games .. which one is more immersive?
also .. comforts ofcourse
I'd probably go with Logitech for comfort and sound. Especially if single player games are more your thing. th-cam.com/video/FgaC8ETroJk/w-d-xo.html
Can you change the settings for it to hear footsteps better for ps5 or can you only change them on PC ??
I'm using the Nova 7P wireless on PC and they sound absolutely awful. Flat & tinny.
Have you installed SteelSeries GG and updated firmware or played around with SteelSeries Sonar settings?
I just got the hs80 wireless and was wondering if there is another headset that has better sound quality and a better mic in the same price range.
The HS80 has one of the best wireless microphones going. Only competition I’ve heard is the BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 edition but that’s more expensive.
This or PC38X?
Thank you for a really informative review. (Subscribed) I'm the 700th like.
Is it possible to adjust the side tone volume loud enough to hear? I've tried a few of the Razor's and the side tone was so quiet. I currently have Corsair Voids that I don't like. They only last about a year then the battery goes dead. You can't charge them every night or the battery life gets short. I usually only charge them when needed and the Corsair software sucks. Half the time the side tone doesn't work.
Side tone is decent here if I recall correctly
@TheProvokedPrawn Just got them and I do like them but even at full volume, side tone is really quiet. But the weight of the headset vs. the Voids outweigh the negative.
THIS WORKS ON PS5 RIGHT?
Yes.
Do you think i should go this or HS80? im looking for double duties and only pc use
The only good thing about hs80 is the mic.. everything about it is trash. Especially the audio
@@laxuscloud2495 why everything? its solid, comfy, audio is good with eq
@@aliahmedov4674 then you never heard better headset than that. The mic is pretty much its saving grace. You can look up all the reviews from trusted reviewers esp the technical ones.. there are better headsets than that but. If you bought it for the mic , Then my argument is invalid.
Great review
Thanks
