SteelSeries has never had a problem delivering great audio experiences, and the Nova 7X continues the tradition at a much more affordable price (currently $99.99 on sale from their site, but $179.99 MSRP).Īs for mics, it’s arguably just as good as any SteelSeries offers. I’ve been playing an atmospheric game for review as well (that you’ll hear about soon), and the spatial audio certainly sets the mood. If you’re playing something like Call of Duty, you can expect great surround sound, being able to hear the approach of your enemies wherever they’re coming from. That doesn’t mean it’s bad though, with crisp audio from some nice 40mm drivers. I think I might be spoiled with the Nova Pro, because the 7X doesn’t match it in how finely tuned the drivers are. There’s not much it won’t work with, making it the go to option for a gamer who likes playing everywhere like me. Quest 2/PSVR (and I’d assume the PSVR2).Besides that, it also supports simultaneous Bluetooth, a boon to all of us that have someone calling in the middle of a match.įor reference, here is a list of the devices I’ve been able to seamlessly use these on: With the Nova 7X that is gone and I am super excited. Using a headset with the Xbox wirelessly has usually been a pain you have to buy the specific one and give up PlayStation and other devices. There’s a switch on the dongle that toggles between USB and Xbox, allowing you to finally be able to get the best out of your headset everywhere. Something different with the Nova 7X is complete wireless compatibility with everything, and it’s amazing. The Nova 7X has three ways of connection, a passive 3.55mm jack, the USB-C wireless dongle, and Bluetooth. SteelSeries certainly does comfortability right, and they continue doing the next thing right as well: versatility. Beyond that, you can’t do better than the SteelSeries signature ski-band, your headset feels lighter than air because of it. The only thing that doesn’t feel as good is the fit from said lighter feel the Nova 7X doesn’t have as tight of a fit to your head and can lead to some minimal sound leakage. It might be even more the materials chosen allow it to be a little lighter. Even so, the design is still sturdy, and it’s just as comfortable.
The biggest differences are ones you could deem monetary, like a metal band that feels less expensive and cloth ear cups. The Nova 7X is a beautiful piece of hardware, almost perfectly mimicking the sleek design of the Nova Pros. There are also instructions and a little papercraft character named Lars, who you must protect with your life. These include the USB-C multi-platform dongle, USB-C to A extension cable for said dongle, USB-C charge cable, and a 3.55mm cable. Inside the familiar box (to those who have purchased SteelSeries products before), you’ll find the Arctis Nova 7X along with several other pieces of equipment.
