  • Here we look at the Steelseries Nova 7. In the video I show the 7P's but it may be worth getting the 7X's as they do exactly the same but are also Xbox compatible. I got the P's due to having a deal on at the time of purchase.
    These are the replacement for the Arctis 7+'s. Its has pretty much everything you need and if you own a PC it has even more!
    A fantastic headset and I hope I've covered everything you need to know about them.
    Steelseries have done an excellent job not the Nova's taking all what I love about the Arctis (mainly the sound) and put it in a headset with way more features and better comfort.
    For an alternative set of ps5 headphones :

    I’ve got a pair of Astro A40s hooked up to my Xbox so it’s not NECESSARY to get the 7X but if it’s compatible with all 3 platforms and work’s identically on all 3, there’s not much reason to get the PS specific variant.
    However, if the PS variant is that much better for PS, then I’d get that variant

Supposed to be the new version mic as well. In love with the audio quality and comfortability. For a 170 dollar headset the mic is just horrible.

    Did you say that the Arctis Nova 7X and Arctis Nova 7P can save 1 sound profile from PC on the headset to use that specific profile on console or are you stuck with the basis out-of-the-box- sound for consoles? Could be a deal breaker for me if it is the case that you can't use at least 1 sound profile on Series X or PS5 at a time.

    I've been searching for a new headset for weeks now. I've bought and returned a few of them already. My biggest issue is that none of them are as loud as my old PS Gold headset I bought back in 2013 for my PS3 and PS4. And I'm comparing those to brand new headsets that cost DOUBLE the price. How loud do these get? Basically, I don't like having to max out the volume to hear everything as loud and clear as possible. Some games simply don't play as loud as others, you know?

      I got the Corsair HS80 and I pretty much never turn the volume above 30/100 cuz they're so loud lol. Loudest headset I've owned and one of the best I've had too - for reference, I've owned the Arctis Pro + Gamedac, Sony Platinum, HyperX Cloud 2, Sennheiser Game One, Turtle Beach Stealth 700 and Astro A40 + Mixamp. My favorite headset is a tie between the HS80 and the Arctis Pro, with the HS80 being slightly better imo, in large part due to the fact they're wireless and the mic is so amazing.

I believe they're $100 right now and that's a steal imo. I've had mine for almost 2yrs now and I've had zero issues with em whatsoever. They also come with Dolby Atmos and the equalizer in iCUE is really good too. Lastly, the microphone is the best I've ever heard, not only in a wireless headset, but a wired one as well.
