Well iv'e had these maybe a week and i've tried everything to get them to even sound nice. A pc gamer for over 20 years. Been through alot of wired headsets. I thought lets try wireless and decided to go for these arctis 7's as they say they are the best hahahahahaha ....

The SteelSeries Arctis 7 might not be the best-sounding headset around, but it's extremely comfortable and also nets you wireless audio for only $150.

Comfortable; sleek; and stylish; Very inexpensive for wireless audio; Built-in chatmix controls

Headset might not fit the largest of large heads; Mute button is a bit too small and inconspicuous; Audio quality is solidly middle-of-the-road

The Steelseries Arctis 7 is an excellent wireless gaming headset for an impressive price. At $150, it comes in under the Logitech G933 Artemis, the Astro Gaming A50, and even the Skullcandy PLYR 1 , all while offering very good audio performance across the board and the option to use different...

Balanced sound; Functions both wireless and wired; Customizable with different headbands and earpads

Bass isn't particularly powerful

In terms of sound reproduction, the Arctis 7 is about as good as it gets when it comes to an affordable, high-performance, wireless gaming headset. Without a hands on review of SteelSeries' other wireless headset, the Siberia 840, we can't say if the Arctis 7 makes this higher priced offering...

Fantastic sound reproduction in almost all real world tests; Standardized test results improve on the already impressive Arctis 5; Wireless audio and voice chat is truly lag free; Secondary audio in and out options provide expandability and extra value; Outstanding battery life and quick charge...

Aggressive bend in the headband and shallow cups made for some discomfort around the ears; A slight step back in microphone quality compared to the Arctis 5; Not wireless when used with an Xbox

The sound quality was so good with the Arctis 7, that while playing, I was able to hear sound effects that I never noticed before when the sound was playing through my home's surround sound system.

Excellent audio quality; Very good voice broadcasting; Adaptable, can be used wireless or wired; Retractable microphone; Out of this world comfort

LED mute indicator can be distracting in a dark room

Well there we have it the Arctis 7 brought to us by SteelSeries. So I told you I would reveal my opinion and here it goes. The slight loss in quality is very minimal due to these being wireless. The headset still sounds great when compared to the wired version.

Very Lightweight; Suspension Headband; Many accessories available to customize your headset; SteelSeries Engine; Price; Compatible with everything

Not-a-one

Ski goggles. That's the inspiration for SteelSeries's new Arctis line of headsets, including the wireless Arctis 7 I've been using for the past few weeks. Take the floating headband that SteelSeries popularized on its old Siberia line, replace it with the elastic you'd use to strap on ski goggles...

This is an expensive headset, but there's certainly a lot to like. The quality of the materials is immediately apparent, as the plastic is rigid and doesn't feel brittle, and the aluminium has a really nice finish too.

A few weeks ago we reviewed SteelSeries' flagship mouse, the Rival 700, but today our attention turns to gaming headsets, and the Arctis 7. A wireless headset, the Arctis 7 has a metric ton of features including virtual 7.1 surround-sound, ChatMix support and on-ear volume controls to name just 3.

Good audio quality; Excellent mic; ChatMix feature is simply brilliant; Stylish; Can be used via wireless or wired connection; Good battery life

My ears pressed against the drivers when in use which was very uncomfortable; Definitely more expensive than your average gaming headset

Hardcore PC gamers are well acquainted with Danish manufacturer SteelSeries: it makes mice, keyboards and gaming headsets that are perennially popular with the e-sports brigade.

Very comfortable to wear; Good battery life; Mic sounds good

No surround sound on consoles; No wireless on Xbox One; Slightly weak bass
