Okay so i decided to write this comment to help anybody confused on the differences between the 7p (playstation version), 7x (xbox version ) n the regular 7 (pc version). So from what i’ve read across all the comments on the video is that the 7 works for all , the 7x apparently works on all 3 also , and the 7p only works on playstation and pc . The 7p has the mic monitoring or sidetone wheel , now that same wheel on the 7 n 7x versions works instead as a voice chat / game audio wheel , although apparently even if you were to get the 7 version and use it on playstation , the wheel would just do nothing instead of working as a chat/game audio wheel . This is just based off the comments on the video , but hopefully i been able to clear up confusion.
Just got this headset because of your review. Have had it for a week. All Elden Ring gameplay. After playing, I would stay in the headset to watch a flick and unwind. These NEVER left pressure pain or head pangs. I have a larger head and large ears and these have been great. Sound has been immersive. The ONLY complaint I have is the build of the dial seems a bit on the cheaper side, but it’s simple, and that matters. Came back to leave this comment and listening to your video on the headset, so Bluetooth is I’m working well and the content sounds good.
@@rommelthedesertfox3089 I Bought the 1p artic nova today wired and they accidentally gave me the 7p artic nova wireless at the collection point. 200 euro worth of headphones for 50 😂😂 They're unreal I just used the pc Eq app to change the equalizer they sound even better. Out of the box still performs amazingly.
@@robertjacobs3307 I love them but they have one major flaw. After barely 2 months they are starting to crack in the headband right above the ear cups. My first pair did the exact same thing
I bought an Arctis Nova 7P last December and since then I have used it almost every day and I love this headset. I'm French so I didn't understand everything you said in your video but I know that you can change the equalization of the headset by plugging it into a PC and using the SteelSeries GG software. So this headset is really great in a lot of areas. The only negative point that I noticed is that it hurts my right ear a little when I keep it on my head for several hours but it's probably due to my physiology because if I turn it a little It hurts less and I can continue to use it. And what is impressive is the synthetic material they use for the ear cushions which practically does not heat up. So no feeling of boiling ears after several hours of play. I highly recommend it for all Playstation 5, PC and Nintendo Switch owners. Because yes, this headset is compatible with all these platforms. A real banger, these headphones 👌.
I've had these headsets for a month and a half now and didn't even know that the fit can further be adjusted by sliding the earcups in and out of the headbands. Huge thanks for mentioning that in this video. Will try that out once I get time off work. Cheers 🙏🏾
@@gamer_naut I bought mine in June, the update back then nuked the sidetone. I had to buy a new pair and never updated it since. Is the sidetone working now for you? Can you hear yourself talking loudly? Thanks
@@SoxXxOwnsU Hi, I had completed the latest update on my Arctis Nova 7P, and side-tone still works as fine as ever. I made a very short video about this on my channel, feel free to watch.
I'm more compelled to buy a product from this brand! My brother plays League with Steelseries headset and he says the fabric padding is so comfortable to wear, despite the sound leak. He'd rather sacrifice that leak since he doesn't experience headaches, nor does the ear padding become sticky during prolong usage. All the high end studio headsets I owned with pleather ear padding, started to deteriorate after a couple years, so every use for at least 30-45min, the residual broken pieces from the leather padding get stuck around my ears where the headset cupped. I always had to rinse my head right after, it is a PAIN to use! I was considering in buying an extra accessory like a headband that covers my ears.
I’d recommend searching up the frequency response for the specific headset and use the graph to analyze hills and valleys of the response. That way you can adjust the eq with better understanding of what sound signature the headsets already have and not distort the audio quality. You could also look up sound settings of each game as well and check the response as well and use both graphs (headset + game frequency responses) and tweak the eq to work best for what you need.
@@androjdemakaveli2010 no problem! It took me a bit of searching, just get which ever one is cheapist, and the nova 7 are better then the nova pro as the sound quality is extremely simmarlar, the comfort is much better on the nova 7, and the nova pro isn't worth the price increase
I recently got this headset but when I started to play around with equalizer presets in GG Engine I am actually not sure what's the difference between 'smiley' and focus presets. So games like uncharted, God of war, or Spiderman should I use 'smiley' preset? and for Call of duty and other fps should I use focus? And follow up to my previous question is there standard custom equalizer settings that I can implement for all types of games? much appreciate if you could reach me back with any info.thx
These have major flaw (like all SteelSeries wireless headsets; weird). Plugging in dongle is enough for ps5 to think that headphones are on! (even if these are off on headset itself). It's stupid and SteelSeries says there is no fix for that (last time I've talked with them). So you need to unplug dongle each time or change settings in ps5 menus *each time* you want sound back on tv. Sony Pulse 3D handle that scenario without any problem.
Wow. That is an absolute deal breaker for me. I've watched a lot of reviews and none have mentioned this issue. I was literally about to buy these this morning. Glad I read your post. Is there a setting on the console to just have sound go to the TV and the headset at the same time? That way you could just drop the TV volume to zero when you are using the headset.
@@AKE36O No such setting as far I know. Also the same problem applies to "mute" - steelseries do not pass information to PS5 about mute status, so PS5 always think that headset is unmuted (even when it is muted).
I know its a year later but Amazon Canada has a sale on these exact headphones. So if you stumble upon this within the next few days youll be in luck !!! I just ordered mine and had same day delivery
I tried out the arctis nova pro wired and they sound like garbage even after trying to eq them. The Nova 7's on the otherhand sound really good and have more bass and I feel like I can hear more details than I could on the pros.
I have Astro a40 mixamp but I don’t really like how “complicated” the setup is I guess I would prefer something more simple to setup Are these worth it ?
Hello picsoleated, I need your help, I want to buy a headset for the ps5. I have seen you videos and my choice is between the 7p+ or this one(the nova) for the ps5 witch one do you think is better? Sound is for me the key point! I hope to see a reaction from you😄 greetings from holland
I’m trying to use it on the ps5 and the chat doesn’t work. I can hear the game, I can hear myself, but no one can hear me. Do you know anything about it? I keep trying to re pair it and it doesn’t work.
i’ve literally been searching up mic to buy.. was gonna do the astro a40 til i came across this wireless one. this seems to be the one hope it all goes well for my ps5!
I recently bought the headset and was able to adjust the headset per sonar on the PC. But when I'm connected to the Ps5 and change the eq settings on the gamedac, the sound doesn't seem to change at all. Do I have to consider or adjust a setting in the Ps5? Do the eq changes need to be made on the pc for the ps5? Does the headset itself have to be connected to the cable for the changes to take effect?
The EQ changes need to be made on PC while the dongle is connected to PC, then you unplug the dongle and plug it into your PS5 and those settings carry over. I don't think a separately purchased gameDAC will allow all features for this headset
@@cuguam good to hear! Because I searched everywhere even steelseries said that it doesn’t support it yet on the ps5, but if it works now I’ll really consider it thanks!
Does not have a game/chat volume button. Only that slider on how much you want to hear your own voice. Who needs to adjust that all the time. Going from game to game or party to party you do want to adjust the volume mix between game and chat. Stupid decision to make that slider for your own voice instead of the party one. Thats the only thing that is holding me back from buying it.
I bought the nova pro wireless and experience extreme discomfort due to their ear cups, anyone know if these are more comfy? The difference of the no anc nub + mesh ear c ups seem like its perfect.
Depends what's causing the discomfort? Is it the material or is it the shape of the ear cups? If it's the shape then not much has changed but the fabric ear cups I do find them more comfortable than the leather
@@picsoleated it was definitely the material mixed with the anc nub. The material on the pro wireless was not glasses friendly combined with the clamping force.
Can you turn off the mic monitoring? Nothing I hate more then being able to hear myself. And do we have to come Stanley keep the mic muted if it’s not out of the holder? Gets a horrible screeching sound.
I just picked up the 7P+ a few days ago. Is the sound quality noticeably better on the Nova 7P for me to return my 7P+ and pay $33 more for the Nova 7P, in your opinion?
@@tinocabral4201 I did end up trying both in-hand, and ended up going with the 7P+. To me, the 2 are exactly the same in terms of sound quality, and the extra $33 was not worth it for me for just the Bluetooth/phone feature (as I would never use this personally) and the few extra hours of battery life. I actually like the fit of the 7P+ more, it has a softer and more cushiony feel, and fits a bit more snug, which I prefer. Hope that helps.
If you're price concious you'll get an amazing experience with the 7P as well, but the Pro wireless def has a nice featureset that adds to the experience, sound quality-wise might be slight improvement over the 7p
@@picsoleated is it a “fatal” flaw though? I’ve heard comparisons that said they’re lacking but it’s not that bad especially when you adjust settings which save to the headset
Man I like your videos and all the good things you do , could please help me on which gaming headset will you recommend for PS5/FPS games, my budget is between $170-$250, thanks in advance.
I got the headset and I’m hearing something static/fuzzy noise in it does anyone know how to fix it ? Every time I scroll across the ps5 menu you can hear this buzz noise
Hello, love your videos, but i have problem to choose between nova 7p and turtle beach 700 gen 2 max, i play on ps5 right now mw2 all day. I need to hear those footsteps and mic monitoring to hear myself, but I don't want to lose good base also. Pls help me
@@picsoleated hello again, after i bought those headsets, I didn't like how loose they are and sound is kinda leaking as my ear cannot fully go inside the hole. Also i could hear some mic background sound always, even party members says they hear some background noise before and after i talk, like the sensitivity of thr mic is very high. And you cannot di anything in GG cuz it has very few options... So sad cuz i wanted to lile this headsets, but i can't.
So I have been trying to get the mic to work but it always seems to be tied to my controller mic but the in game sounds are coming from my headset. Long story my voice only seems to be picked up by the controller mic
I hope u see my comment, i have a big problem with it, it doesnt remove the background noises + i can adjust the settings on gg but i plug it in on the ps5 and theyre gone and i cant find a reason for that
The sound is cool I like the dual Bluetooth and Adapter connection at the same time so I can connect to my phone while playing my ps5 but the mic is horrible I made sure to update to the latest firmware but I still pick up white noise and everyone in the game chat mentions how bad my mic sounds I even replaced them and still the same issue also it’s not the best feeling for my ears.
I noticed the PC (Nova 7) and Xbox (Nova 7X) versions have chat volume vs the mic monitoring wheel. I have a PS5, I wonder if it would be better to get the Nova 7 or 7X for that feature vs the mic monitoring scroll wheel on the Nova 7P? I think the other versions still work on the PS5 or am I wrong?
Chat volume don't work on ps5 with 7x, so only 7p with mic monitoring. Different scroll wheel. But 7x has also mic monitorin you can change it in software, 7x is better is you have also a xbox.
I recently got these for the PS5 and although they sound great. The mic is stupid sensitive, it picks up every little sound from my surroundings. The headset is pretty tight around my ears as well and causes them to sweat.
Have you figured out if you can change the mic’s noise cancelling? My previous headset barely picked up anything other than my voice. Now everything that happens around me is hearable to my party chat.
@@nxel.9998 I just got mine and same thing it picks up every noise in my room. Please let us know if there's a solution if I find one I'll post here as well.
My friends hear their own voice since I started using my steelseries nova 7p. How can i fix it? I already lowered the microphone volume and the general volume but I have no solution. When they talk, I have to turn off my microphone so they don't hear themselves. If I don't turn off my microphone, my name appears on the screen as if I were speaking, but it is the echo of their own voices.
Sounds like it’s bleed through from the ear cups. Mine does this too on the 7P for PS5 party chat. You have to lower the standard microphone volume in PS5 and try and keep your volume low as possible
I heard that the ear cushions are a few mm deeper than those of Arctis 7P+, is that true? Can you measure that? When they're deeper, I'll get them directly.
You're right, I saw it too. I think our good old Couze was that with the test. I ordered them and they are deeper. What would of course round off the whole thing would be a bit more pleasant thicker fabric inside, because it is much too thin. Otherwise, just a great headset.
I want to upgrade my Logitech g933 to a new headset I wonder to choose between nova7p and astro a50 and Sony h9 sound quality is more important for me can someone help me🙏🏻 and nova pro is to expensive in my country.
Hello, I have a question. I play on PS5 and I'm needing to get a new headset as my old one (Hyperx Cloud Flights) is getting a bit worn out but I still love them as I've had them since they came out and like how they sound. Anyways for Christmas my mom got me the Razer kaira pros and I really didn't like how they sounded as they sounded so muffled and too bassy, I couldn't pick out footsteps in any game and every game sounded unclear, no matter what PS5 sound or EQ settings I tried. So, I then returned them for the Hyperx Cloud 2 Wireless since I liked the Flights so much but, unfortunately those kind of sounded the same (even trying every setting) and were kinda uncomfortable for me. In all do you think these sound better than those two headsets I had and would they be a good upgrade going from Cloud Flights? Sorry for the long question and thank you for the great review.
Why does nobody ever test these headsets on WARZONE and Multiplayer games. Those are the most important ones. For allot of people actually using Headsetd. Because Warzone has very shitty sound for Steps and hearing your enemies walk around you. So i need a decent update on that and especially in warzone and NOT multiplayer. Because its warzone where the sound is shit.
I got the nova 7 cuz was on sale in my country and the nova 7P was 50euros more was hoping I did the right choice and that it worked exactly the same as the 7P but so far it works well so far.
@@picsoleated its been a year and the Nova 7Ps (i exchanged them from 7's to 7p's)and they are amazing. i recently also got an XSX and didnt want to buy another headset for it and now im using the aux cable connected to my monitor to check if they work and they do
Thanks for the review mate! My biggest question is how do these compare to the Arctis 7p+? Is it worth the extra $30? I'm a PS5 - only gamer and really most concerned with the best 3d soundscape for story games and positioning for FPS. Would you recommend these over the 7P+ or should I save that $30. Thanks, appreciate ya!
I found this helpful th-cam.com/video/NnWTH-mH5y0/w-d-xo.html . Steelseries has a footnote on the Nova 7P product page "Fully compatible with Tempest 3D Audio for PS5 / Microsoft Spatial Sound". Hope that helps.
I was told to get 7x cause they can be used across platform where 7p no xbox. Kinda stupid what they did, i think the only difference is the blue band.
@@picsoleated i see one last que which is louder pulse 3D or the 7p+ and if you had to choose between 7p+ or the nova which would you go for im about to buy 7p+ or the nova so your reply would really help thanks and more power to your channel im a big fan bro 👊👊
Can you save your own EQ profile to use on the PS5? How many profiles can you save? can you change profiles on the headset or need to plug on the PC to change profiles?
@Specter not any platform just when u turn it on and turn both dials all the way up and the mic is still retracted inside the headphones. As soon as pull the kic a little bit out the whistle stops but then comes back when I put it back
I’m using these in Warzone 2 and I’m having a lot of trouble, I generally like the headset, they sound good, they’re comfortable. But competitively I struggle with hearing footsteps, directionally they feel way off. I have 3D audio on, Linear PCM. Is there anything I should do differently?
Unfortunately no, I just started using my old HyperX cloud headset from my PS4. This is just my experience though, maybe you will have better luck, the reviews online seem to be overwhelmingly positive which is why I bought the headset to begin with, it just didn’t perform for me on Warzone 2 no matter what I tried.
To be fair audio quality wise it's hard to beat the audeze penrose, but it's also way more expensive. If money's not an issue and you're willing to deal with the much shorter battery life of the penrose, then that's the best option.
@@picsoleated Awesome! Thanks for the response and excellent video as usual. I have a Penrose X that I paid retail price for and a Penrose (PS5) that I got off ebay brand new for 120.
i had issues with the hyperx cloud 2 wireless. the microphone just didn't pick up my voice and would cut out whenever it did. this may not be an issue for everyone but I bought a replacement and it did the exact same thing. returning both tomorrow (the headset is great apart from the mic)

Can you do a video on what EQ settings to use for different game types? Or what you prefer?
m.th-cam.com/video/EXVthQqcX0Y/w-d-xo.html
Agreed
The smiley preset is really good for most games
I’d recommend searching up the frequency response for the specific headset and use the graph to analyze hills and valleys of the response.

You could also look up sound settings of each game as well and check the response as well and use both graphs (headset + game frequency responses) and tweak the eq to work best for what you need.

Can you turn off the mic monitoring? Nothing I hate more then being able to hear myself. And do we have to come Stanley keep the mic muted if it’s not out of the holder? Gets a horrible screeching sound.
You got a new sub after that "pull out game is still strong" joke hahaha
Would you recommend these ones or the Sony inzone 7H? Both at the same price
I just picked up the 7P+ a few days ago. Is the sound quality noticeably better on the Nova 7P for me to return my 7P+ and pay $33 more for the Nova 7P, in your opinion?
I have this same question!
In terms of comfort they are similar but the mic and battery life is a good bit better on the Nova 7
Did you end up deciding?
@@tinocabral4201 I did end up trying both in-hand, and ended up going with the 7P+. To me, the 2 are exactly the same in terms of sound quality, and the extra $33 was not worth it for me for just the Bluetooth/phone feature (as I would never use this personally) and the few extra hours of battery life. I actually like the fit of the 7P+ more, it has a softer and more cushiony feel, and fits a bit more snug, which I prefer. Hope that helps.
@@Tonngu403personally I did find this one a bit better than 7p+ but both are excellent indeed
Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless or Nova 7? The Pro has a much higher selling price but is it Better for the PS5
If you're price concious you'll get an amazing experience with the 7P as well, but the Pro wireless def has a nice featureset that adds to the experience, sound quality-wise might be slight improvement over the 7p
@Picsoleated thank you my friend. All the best to you and continuous success!!
Can you adjust game chat with these?
Just got these for Christmas. But I am having issues with background noise etc. any advice how to fix this?
increase the noise gate in the audio settings of whatever game you're playing
So what is better Arctis Nova 7P 3D Audio or Arctics 7P+ ?
Nova 7p is a bit better
Just got the headset and after a few days the audio keeps making glitching sounds and it cutting out. Not sure how to fix it
I just bought these you couldn't have dropped this video at a better time brotha 👏🏾🔥
Enjoy them! Great gaming headset for sure
Does your sidetone work after the update?
I have the Arctis 7 and now have the Nova 7. I don’t like the mic on the Nova 7 it picks up more background noise
Did you return them?
The mic is the one fatal flaw of the steelseries headsets, hopefully they'll figure it out down the road
@@picsoleated is it a “fatal” flaw though? I’ve heard comparisons that said they’re lacking but it’s not that bad especially when you adjust settings which save to the headset
Man I like your videos and all the good things you do , could please help me on which gaming headset will you recommend for PS5/FPS games, my budget is between $170-$250, thanks in advance.
Do these have to be programmed to allow surround like my Arctis 7 on Playstation?
I got the headset and I’m hearing something static/fuzzy noise in it does anyone know how to fix it ? Every time I scroll across the ps5 menu you can hear this buzz noise
Hello, love your videos, but i have problem to choose between nova 7p and turtle beach 700 gen 2 max, i play on ps5 right now mw2 all day. I need to hear those footsteps and mic monitoring to hear myself, but I don't want to lose good base also. Pls help me
the Nova 7p all day between those two for PS5
@@picsoleated hello again, after i bought those headsets, I didn't like how loose they are and sound is kinda leaking as my ear cannot fully go inside the hole. Also i could hear some mic background sound always, even party members says they hear some background noise before and after i talk, like the sensitivity of thr mic is very high. And you cannot di anything in GG cuz it has very few options... So sad cuz i wanted to lile this headsets, but i can't.
So I have been trying to get the mic to work but it always seems to be tied to my controller mic but the in game sounds are coming from my headset. Long story my voice only seems to be picked up by the controller mic
So just noticed that when I use BT to my mobile for discord my in game mic does not work. Very disappointed.
There is a white version available now, I just ordered one from Amazon. Good review!
Hey quick question, can you use this headset on ios with just Bluetooth or you have to use the dongle somehow as well?
It can connect to iOS via bluetooth no problem.
I hope u see my comment, i have a big problem with it, it doesnt remove the background noises + i can adjust the settings on gg but i plug it in on the ps5 and theyre gone and i cant find a reason for that
How can I fix it for party chat? There’s an echo and it the voices in the party chat glitches out.
The sound is cool I like the dual Bluetooth and Adapter connection at the same time so I can connect to my phone while playing my ps5 but the mic is horrible I made sure to update to the latest firmware but I still pick up white noise and everyone in the game chat mentions how bad my mic sounds I even replaced them and still the same issue also it’s not the best feeling for my ears.
I noticed the PC (Nova 7) and Xbox (Nova 7X) versions have chat volume vs the mic monitoring wheel. I have a PS5, I wonder if it would be better to get the Nova 7 or 7X for that feature vs the mic monitoring scroll wheel on the Nova 7P? I think the other versions still work on the PS5 or am I wrong?
Chat volume don't work on ps5 with 7x, so only 7p with mic monitoring. Different scroll wheel. But 7x has also mic monitorin you can change it in software, 7x is better is you have also a xbox.
@@BumbleBeeBiH Thanks bro 👍
Do they have mic monitoring on ps5?
@@TheAstraeuss I went with the 7p cause I won’t be using it on a Xbox console so why have a wheel that does nothing on PS5?
@@thelocoraven the wheel adjust sidetone
Do they sound just as good plugged into ps5 controller? Also are they good for big ears and are the earpads changeable? Thanks mste
great video, great review. My only gripe would be you were small echo in your room.
Currently on a PS5 running the astro A40 with mixamp. I need to use an adapter but gives me a Black screen. Worth upgrading??? Thanks
What adapter you use?
Hi! dude, this Nova 7p or Turtle Beach Stealth 700 gen 2? which one do you recommend and why?
I recently got these for the PS5 and although they sound great. The mic is stupid sensitive, it picks up every little sound from my surroundings. The headset is pretty tight around my ears as well and causes them to sweat.
Have you figured out if you can change the mic’s noise cancelling? My previous headset barely picked up anything other than my voice. Now everything that happens around me is hearable to my party chat.
@@nxel.9998 Unfortunately no, I couldn't find a solution to this anywhere.
@@Dason247 I just sent steelseries an e-mail about this, I’ll keep you informed!
@@nxel.9998 Yes let me know! I went that route too, but they never responded.
@@nxel.9998 I just got mine and same thing it picks up every noise in my room. Please let us know if there's a solution if I find one I'll post here as well.
My friends hear their own voice since I started using my steelseries nova 7p. How can i fix it? I already lowered the microphone volume and the general volume but I have no solution.
When they talk, I have to turn off my microphone so they don't hear themselves.
If I don't turn off my microphone, my name appears on the screen as if I were speaking, but it is the echo of their own voices.
Sounds like it’s bleed through from the ear cups. Mine does this too on the 7P for PS5 party chat. You have to lower the standard microphone volume in PS5 and try and keep your volume low as possible
Will be buying these next month 🙏🏾
If you had to chose between the 7p+ or these, which would you go for?
I‘d like to know as well
This one, it's newer, better sound, and battery is improved, and also wireless
@@BumbleBeeBiH I literally just purchased the 7p+ no more than 15 mins ago 😬. They went down to £105 and couldn’t resist at that price point
@@SaeedSZN good pick given the difference of price between the nova 7p and the arctis 7p
I have the Nova 7P get these
Great headphones but when I talking in chat my voice is coming through the headset so annoying can you turn this off
don't they have an app for all audio settings? GG or something. Search it up. I'm pretty sure you can disable the mic feedback audio there.
Is the headband area where you slide plastic or metal? That's a big one for me I break plastics
I am upgrading from the Arctis 7. How good are they for music?
This one or the arctis 7p+ without nova for hearing footsteps in warzone 2.0 at ps5?
I heard that the ear cushions are a few mm deeper than those of Arctis 7P+, is that true? Can you measure that? When they're deeper, I'll get them directly.
From a different review I saw I think the nova is 23 mm deep while the 7p+ is 20 mm deep
You're right, I saw it too. I think our good old Couze was that with the test. I ordered them and they are deeper. What would of course round off the whole thing would be a bit more pleasant thicker fabric inside, because it is much too thin. Otherwise, just a great headset.
Do I need a pc for this headset ?? I’m just trying to find a really good ps5 headset man
Can you pair them to a tv (Lg C1) via bluetooth, for movies and stuff? Thanks
I want to upgrade my Logitech g933 to a new headset I wonder to choose between nova7p and astro a50 and Sony h9 sound quality is more important for me can someone help me🙏🏻 and nova pro is to expensive in my country.
Is there a difference between the Nova 7 and the Nova 7p exept the blue ribbon?
Basically the same but 7p is intended for ps5 basically and has the color for it I believe
LOVE THE VODEO QUALITY BRO!!!
I appreciate it, thank you!
Is anyone getting this buzzing/hissing noise in them ?? It’s so annoying when playing TH-cam and scrolling through the ps5 menu how do you fix it ??
I would like to know what is the best EQ presets for these headphones?
Please make a best eq settings Video for the nova 7p
Hello, I have a question. I play on PS5 and I'm needing to get a new headset as my old one (Hyperx Cloud Flights) is getting a bit worn out but I still love them as I've had them since they came out and like how they sound. Anyways for Christmas my mom got me the Razer kaira pros and I really didn't like how they sounded as they sounded so muffled and too bassy, I couldn't pick out footsteps in any game and every game sounded unclear, no matter what PS5 sound or EQ settings I tried. So, I then returned them for the Hyperx Cloud 2 Wireless since I liked the Flights so much but, unfortunately those kind of sounded the same (even trying every setting) and were kinda uncomfortable for me. In all do you think these sound better than those two headsets I had and would they be a good upgrade going from Cloud Flights? Sorry for the long question and thank you for the great review.
Get the Steelseries Nova 7p, they are way better in general and have more features
@Krystofer Abit late but thanks for the reply😁. Yeah, I got the Nova 7P's about a month ago and love them.
@@Jkru77
Does the mute button on the DS controller work with the Nova 7P, or do you have to push the button on the headset to mute it?
Looking to buy a new headset and i currently have the Razor Nari for my ps5 but they are pretty old. Would you recommend this headset of the Nari??
yes. they are so much lighter compared to the nari
Hi so what is the best headphones for the ps5 to play warzone 2? Thanks in advance
Why does nobody ever test these headsets on WARZONE and Multiplayer games. Those are the most important ones. For allot of people actually using Headsetd. Because Warzone has very shitty sound for Steps and hearing your enemies walk around you. So i need a decent update on that and especially in warzone and NOT multiplayer. Because its warzone where the sound is shit.
World doesn’t revolve around u
Not? @@HxpeOnYT
He man, nice review. One question: does the mute button on the dual sense mute the headset? Thanks
yes
It doesn't
Yes it works
will they work as wired? i need to connect them to Schiit Gunnr amp/dac
Can you edit the sound settings on iOS cause I don’t have a windows
Buy nova 7x, works on all systems.
I’m about to buy them. Can you tell me are the pros of 7x that these headphones don’t have? Thank you.
I am an idiot, I wanted the nova 7P and I just bought the Arctis Nova 7, what is the difference? Can anyone help?
The good news is there's essentially no hardware diifference between the two. So you're good!
I got the nova 7 cuz was on sale in my country and the nova 7P was 50euros more was hoping I did the right choice and that it worked exactly the same as the 7P but so far it works well so far.
@@picsoleated its been a year and the Nova 7Ps (i exchanged them from 7's to 7p's)and they are amazing. i recently also got an XSX and didnt want to buy another headset for it and now im using the aux cable connected to my monitor to check if they work and they do
Thanks for the review mate! My biggest question is how do these compare to the Arctis 7p+? Is it worth the extra $30? I'm a PS5 - only gamer and really most concerned with the best 3d soundscape for story games and positioning for FPS. Would you recommend these over the 7P+ or should I save that $30.
Thanks, appreciate ya!
This is not a reply but I basically have the same question. Nova 7p or Arctis 7p+?
I found this helpful th-cam.com/video/NnWTH-mH5y0/w-d-xo.html . Steelseries has a footnote on the Nova 7P product page "Fully compatible with Tempest 3D Audio for PS5 / Microsoft Spatial Sound". Hope that helps.
I have the 7p+ using them on PS5 and to me they are literally perfect in every way imaginable.
I was told to get 7x cause they can be used across platform where 7p no xbox. Kinda stupid what they did, i think the only difference is the blue band.
@@bigshoots1181 really?
Which is louder in volume this one or the pulse 3d when plugged on the ps5
These are louder
@@picsoleated i see one last que which is louder pulse 3D or the 7p+ and if you had to choose between 7p+ or the nova which would you go for im about to buy 7p+ or the nova so your reply would really help thanks and more power to your channel im a big fan bro 👊👊
just got this. any recomendation for immersion eq settings?
Can you save your own EQ profile to use on the PS5? How many profiles can you save? can you change profiles on the headset or need to plug on the PC to change profiles?
You can only save one EQ profile at a time and it can be used on the ps5. You need to plug it into a computer if you wanted to adjust the EQ profile
@@cachesinthecomments997 thank you... that is very unfortunate hey... i was about to order. Glad i didnt.
does anyone also get a very high pitched whistle or beep instantly and continously when both dials are turned all the way up?
@Specter not any platform just when u turn it on and turn both dials all the way up and the mic is still retracted inside the headphones. As soon as pull the kic a little bit out the whistle stops but then comes back when I put it back
Feedback is happening when side tone is all the way up and mic retracted. Have side tone turned down before turning on or have mic extended.
I’m using these in Warzone 2 and I’m having a lot of trouble, I generally like the headset, they sound good, they’re comfortable. But competitively I struggle with hearing footsteps, directionally they feel way off. I have 3D audio on, Linear PCM. Is there anything I should do differently?
Try turn off 3D audio, I saw ppl saying that it messes up with the directional cue if turned on
@@tanhuiwun2216wait do they? It seems fine for me personally
did you figured it out? Because I'm considering to buy them for Warzone 2 and don't know if should I get them
Unfortunately no, I just started using my old HyperX cloud headset from my PS4. This is just my experience though, maybe you will have better luck, the reviews online seem to be overwhelmingly positive which is why I bought the headset to begin with, it just didn’t perform for me on Warzone 2 no matter what I tried.
@@ChrisDavis333 Tbf warzone has Audio issues as well
Based on just sound quality, is this better than the Audeze Penrose?
Many thanks in advance
To be fair audio quality wise it's hard to beat the audeze penrose, but it's also way more expensive. If money's not an issue and you're willing to deal with the much shorter battery life of the penrose, then that's the best option.
@@picsoleated Awesome! Thanks for the response and excellent video as usual.
I have a Penrose X that I paid retail price for and a Penrose (PS5) that I got off ebay brand new for 120.
Hello, difference between 7p+ and the nova 7p? Which one should I go for? Thank you!
7P+ has usb c charging, that's the main difference. so it depends if you're willing to save a few bucks getting the 7P or if you need usb c charging

I’m currently playing ps5 can you tell me what’s better ( steelseries arctis nova 7P or hyperx cloud 2 wireless or hyperx cloud alpha wirless ) ?
i had issues with the hyperx cloud 2 wireless. the microphone just didn't pick up my voice and would cut out whenever it did. this may not be an issue for everyone but I bought a replacement and it did the exact same thing. returning both tomorrow (the headset is great apart from the mic)
how do I make it to where i dont hear myself when I talk with the mic
Go to audio mic test and lower it until you can't hear yourself
