- In this video I review the SteelSeries Arctis 7x wireless headset for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One X/S, Playstation, PC, Switch and More! This wireless headset from SteelSeries really is versatile and brings the quality I've come to expect from SteelSeries. Is this the best wireless headset for Xbox? Maybe even the best wireless gaming headset on the market.

Thanks for watching! Be sure to like and Subscribe for more reviews and content in the future. Also, I am wanting to start streaming general gameplay content while testing gear out. What platform are you most likely to watch on (Twitch, TH-cam Gaming, Facebook Gaming)?
7x and 9x have mic monitoring? I play late nights and can't really talk loud.
They both do.
By far the best mic test on headsets I have heard. I always find it annoying that reviewers get to test the mic reading 1-2 sentences. I cannot get the full picture that way. Very happy you took an entire section using only the built in mic to really get a full experience.
BTW for platform streaming I typically follow Twitch/TH-cam/Facebook, in that order.
Thanks for the feedback Jorge!
Picked up the 9x last week and have had a ton of drops on PC and XSX, in addition to a ton of clicking on calls on the PC. I went ahead and returned them and ordered a 7x set, hoping for better success going between both systems.
Please update me
Please update me
The 7x definitely has more reliable connection if you have issues. I sold my 9x as I just didn’t need bluetooth and use the 7x still.
7X just came back in stock today, how did you get a pair? I ordered my pair tonight for my PS5/XSX
Same thing happened with me. 9x kept disconnecting, had issues with connecting in general. Got the 7x, and it works flawless with the dongle. If you are getting it for the series x/s, get the 7x for sure.
So glad this video exist! I purchased the 9x earlier today, but started looking into the 7x but no one had it in stock until a couple minutes ago and I just had to buy it lol. Gonna be returning the 9x once those get here! Thanks for the review, brother. Much blessings to you and your channel.
Yeah I literally just order my 7x from Steelseries, got that notification and jumped on it🤣🤣🤣
@Beamen Smith lol same
Edit: But I'm still debating on it, to be honest. My wife is having a great time with the 9x!
All those cables that come with the 7x are such a turn-off, man.
Mic quality is not as good as 9x, but that doesn't bother me.
50 bucks less is nice, though.
But, the fact that the 7x is out of stock everywhere is crazy. If it weren't that good, then why are they unavailable, you know?
Gonna make my wife keep the 7x hahah
@Beamen Smith yeah no I'm gonna go for the 7x.
Too much lagging and popping sounds with these 9x.
@@JiibarO hey man, hope you reply.
I am debating on getting either of these headsets for my xbox series x. Which one would you recommend? I play only fps games and sound quality is the main thing for me.
@@alkindi5647 I've heard a few things about the Xbox headset, some pros and cons. But it's a cheap headset so we can only expect so much!
I really liked the Turtle Beach, but I couldn't handle the connection issues. Had to reconnect it few times a day.
I would say that the 7X is the best choice for Xbox right now.
It comes with a dongle so you connect it straight to it and not to the Xbox's BT
Dongle has two options; PC and Xbox
Sometimes it acts up, what I do is leave it plugged in and switch it to PC and then back to Xbox and it fixes itself!
Hope that helps, brother
Glad you are back with the reviews.
Thanks for the support, it means a lot.
Thank you !
Very late but random question, but does connecting take long for the 7x? I plan to use the headset both for PC and Xbox so does it take very long to reconnect if I were constantly switching the adapter between Xbox and PC? Either way Great Review!
Sorry for the late reply. Not long at all, just flip the switch on the usb and your good to go.
The 9x works simultaneously wirelessly on Xbox and PC (Bluetooth for PC) so I can hear game from Xbox and hear friends on discord (pc) will the 7x do the same and how would I go on about doing that if yes ..?
The 7x does not have bluetooth so it can only be used one at a time.
@@gamegeartv8167 so basically the 7x is the same as the 9x but steelseries just dropped Bluetooth and changed the connectivity on 7x? everything else is the same like the mic and audio that comes out of the cans?
This headset works with wirelless via dongle on console and 3.5m on a Pc at the same time? I need a headset that I can listen to pc audio and xbox audio and mic at the same time.Thanks for the Review
Hey GameGear TV, what about this. What if I had previous connectivity issues on the 9X, but I wanted to buy them again? I do care about Bluetooth, but those 7X's look very slick. What do you think the 7X or 9X
Thats tough. If you want Bluetooth the 9x is kind of the only option unless you look at different brands. The 7x has solid connection, but no BT. For me the 7x does all I want it to at a better price.
Hey, do you know when the 7x would be back in stock?
Great vid btw!
It depends on where you’re at. They are sold out online but I routinely see them in-stock at the Wal-Mart’s in my area.
i would suggest the 9x it’s only 30 more on amazon. and has slightly better specs
@@decayed1555 The main benefit to the 9X is Bluetooth, but the 9X is known for audio drop outs and does not work with Playstation or the Switch wirelessly. The Bluetooth is good for music or phone calls, but you would never want to use it for gaming on PC. You would want to plug in the headset using the included 3.5mm cable.
@@wicklyx15 9x’s are for Xbox 7p are for PlayStation
Today, Steelseries had 28 available a few mins ago, well 27 now🤣
So which headset is objectively better? In terms of everything overall? Really don’t care about the £25 price difference
Is it worth getting the atmos app on the Xbox for this headset?
Am I the only one whose headset is wayyy too loud for gunshots? Like I literally have to brace myself before shooting because it’s so loud, and I’ve played with all the eq settings
Should I get 9x, 7x, or 7x+ ?
I just bought a steel series arctis nova 7x and the reason I bought it was for the noise cancelling mic on it but so far my cheap xiberia s11 headphones mic is better with noise cancelling mic
Is it worth getting the atmos app on the Xbox for this headset
Has anybody tried to plug these into the SS GameDAC? It came with a cable to plug straight into it. I wonder if it would boost the sound? Good review btw.
Still scratching my head about it… Idk what’s best for next gen and pure quality?
So my situation is this: the 9x costs 175€ and the 7x costs 200€... I will primarily use it on xbox... should be a no brainer to pick the 9x after this review - right?
Yeah. If the 9x is cheaper definitely get over the 7x.
Wow!!!! I literally just type this in in this was made five days ago!!!
Has anyone used it with the ps5?
I'd like to know whether the chatmixer also works on the ps5 and on the xbox
So if I wanted to switch to my PC from Xbox with the 7x, do I need to unplug the dongle from the xbox and plug it into my PC? I haven‘t really understood of that dongle works.
Yeah, move the dongle from one to the other.
Think if the dongle as the end of a wire....gotta plug in da wire for it to work.
So my 9X is breaking and I am wondering if I should buy another 9x or buy the 7x… the Bluetooth to my phone is a very nice feature that’s keeps drawing me in… but the durability is terrible…. How good is the durability for the 7x?
My word of advice to you about it: try to charge it only when you're not using it as to avoid any possible damage to the charging port, which is something that I have been risking as of late (aka: the charging interrupting itself when I move a bit).
ok but please help... getting my bf a Christmas gift, I don't know which one to buy
does the 9X work on playstation or is it just the 7X that works?
Just the 7x. They actually just came out with a new version for playstation/pc (7x P+)
update. 7x now has USB C
Can I use the app on my phone to adjust the settings in the app.
Nah PC I think
What about the 1x or the 7x? Which one would u get?
I haven’t personally used the 1, so my opinion on this will be based on what I’ve researched. In terms of sound performance they will be very close or the same. The microphone is a little different and from what I’ve read is better on the 7. The 7 is also more comfortable and has a game/chat balance dial where the 1 does not. If your budget allows I would get the 7. But I think the 1 is a very solid choice if you need or want to save a good chuck of change.
@@gamegeartv8167 do you know anything about the a20s?
No personal experience with them. Astro in general with my experience has good, but not amazing sound quality, over compressed microphone transmission and decent comfort.
@@sneakkyz3696 I've used both the A20's and Arctis 5... Clear and balanced/natural with Arctis its really good if you update with the software. The A20's give more of a packed sound with tuned drivers for immersion. Better awareness with Arctis. Personally i wouldn't get Astro's unless they were A40's with AMP.
@@alb0infern047 the sound qaulity on the A40's are terrible on next gen consoles. No optical cable sounds terrible
Dose this headset have leds on the side?
No, none of SteelSeries’ wireless headsets have RGB.
Get magnetic micro usb charger you’ll prolong your headset for years
I heard the volume to low
Thought on these or the a50s
Way more value in the steelseries
@@gamegeartv8167 went with the steelseries, your videos had an impact, cheers 🍻 🤙🏾
A50s sound better
DO NOT buy the 9x if you have an Xbox Series X, epic fail by Microsoft and Steel Series as the connection between the two is broken. So much interference and unusable. After using them for. A few days I have to return them. Going to try the 7x since it has the dongle…
How did the 7x turn out? I just bought the 9x and I’m regretting it reading all the comments, wondering wether it’s worth returning for the 7x
@@ZachAsaD yes 100%, no problems with the dongle connected to the Xbox with the Nova 7x.
I'm having an issue to where when these are connected to my xbox it won't play any audio thru t.v. it just cuts to headset .. it never used to do this .. was there an update or something.. can't seem to figure it out
That is odd. The only setting I can think of that affects tv volume at all is whether you want chat to output to the tv or not. Do you have any other headsets laying around to see if they replicate the issue?
@@gamegeartv8167 yea tried both headsets they both lock the setting that puts audio through TV and it says it's output through headset with no way to change option
Very weird.
Wtf cares about a mic on something you need to listen to. Why do reviews focus more on a mic than the way they sound
People who have friends care about the mic quality
