The arctics 3 are the most comfortable headset I’ve ever had and they are on the cheap end. Just had brain surgery and they still feel comfortable, even for hours! These definitely look like those but more beautiful. Can’t wait to upgrade
I had the Arctis 9X and had a ton on interference and disconnections where it would drop audio or stutter audio every 5 seconds multiple times making them unusable while gaming. . I had them RMA and just got the 7x so far the only thing I miss is the +bluetooth feature. The 9X are amazing when they work and no connection issues. So far the 7x are amazing as well.
Thanks for going into detail about how to set up the headset and if the settings will save and carry over back to be Xbox from PC. Only review that actually simply answered that question for me. Also, I’m subbing in hopes for that video of the “best Xbox series x headset” because as of now, there’s not many to chose from! Very frustrating that this 7x is sold out :( thanks for a great straight-to-the-point and informative video!
Great video very thorough thank you. I've recently got the 9x but after getting frustrated with constant connection drops with my Series X I'm in the process of getting them exchanged for the 7x and your video has helped reinforce my decision.
@@9to5toys I've done the update tonight after seeing people mention it in the comments. Fingers crossed when I get chance to test them out the issues will be fixed. If they are I think I'll keep them just purely for convenience of not having an adapter plugged into my xbox with the 7X.
@@9to5toys seems to have fixed the issue with it turning the xbox back on and losing connection with the controller. Just got to see if they randomly disconnect or have audio drops over the next few days now. So glad I came across your video and the news of the update before I returned them.
This USB C dongle makes it inconvenient to switch from xbox to pc which I do often. You have to unplug the extension cable from xbox and plug it into the pc every time. You also need an additional usb port for charging the headset. There's only 3 ports on an Xbox so you'd have to find another source for charging unless unplugging and plugging in cables repeatedly doesn't bother you.
These are pretty good headphones, good sound quality. I used the Arctis 7 (not x) for about 2 years until the micro usb charger stopped working, as I forgot it was plugged in many times and got up, yanking on it. The two worst things about them are that they are VERY heavy and the earcups are not made for large ears. They totally crushed my ears and made them sore. I didn't realize how bad they felt until I switched to my Sennheisers. Every single thing is better about my Sennheiser's and they cost less.
Why does mine sound trash compared to my cheap hyper x cloud stinger? Do wireless headsets just sound worse, or am I just missing something to make my arctis 7x sound better?
I got one of these for my PS5, Series X and Switch. It works great on all three! I’m going to order an extra dongle once they’re back in stock to keep on behind my XSX and the other I keep on the front of my PS5 in the USB-C port and pop it off if I want to use it with my Switch. I’ll keep them in their respective modes and hopefully won’t have interference since my PS5 and Switch are upstairs and my XSX is downstairs. It’s so nice to finally have something that just works with all my consoles, but it still pisses me off that I can’t just use my AirPods Pro which have low latency with any console, especially the new ones.
They haven't fixed the big design flaw. The earcups connect at one point and that point fails over time. I have had two steel headsets, both failed in that location.
Walmart site says they’re out of stock, but every one I’ve gone into (four) has had at least a couple of them. YMMV, but it may be worth checking out your nearest Walmart to see
just got mine today . ordered from steelseries website had then in 4-5 days max,i got them mostly for my series x.. dont know yet if i will use them on my pc fo rmusic or gaming...i think my senheiser gsp 500 connected to soundblaster are louder and sound better,i like the wireless though and they are very confortable

@@parsifalgoetz1237 F*** yeah you will. I prefer Dts when playing most games, but there are other games were Atmos is better. I suggest getting both if you can and going into the steelseries engine and fine tune it as well. $20 for both together I believe

@@JohnJohn-pr1sh Hey, I got the headphones and they're the same shit as any other $100+ headset. It allegedly has surround but it's not that different than stereo and vertical audio is very trippy. So yeah...
Great review bro. I'll be buying these whenever it becomes available, the things I'm most excited for is the volume wheel which has a nice click when changing the volume levels like the Acrtis Pros and the USB type C dongle which works with everything.
check your walmart i got mine yesterday i checked online they said they only had one but they had 2 instock if it says out of stock i would still go check every sore if you have more then 1 walmart near you some people have been seeing them even saying its out of stock

Please to the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 please it would be a great video and I am maybe going to get them so it would help me see what they are really like Thanks
i purchased these a couple months ago and the sound quality is awesome. However the mic is really sensitive to where it picks up pressing buttons on controller or even a fan in the background. Does anyone know how to lower the mic sensitivity? I downloaded the steelseries engine but couldnt find a mic monitoring option.

Got an email from SteelSeries at 1am saying in stock, seen it at 6:45am when I woke up, & they were already sold out again. What, are they hand making these damn things or something??
Thanks so much for the review man, I am debating if I should get these and I think you made me decide I will. Quick question though, if you take the dongle and attach it a usb-c on the pc would it still work? Or does the usb-c only work for xbox, and for pc you have to usb the usb adapter?
@@cristianramos7058 I went ahead and got the normal Arctis 7 black version which has a normally usb Bluetooth adapter on it. The headrest works great, I would strongly recommend it
Mine actually wasn't synced to the Dongle when I opened it and it was very frustrating trying to get it to connect. Had to download the app on my pc just use it. That being said it's on awesome headset and I got it for 150 at Walmart
You mentioned you can use this with xbox, pc, switch, and "PLAYSTATION" how do you use the arctis 7x with playstation ??? I don't think there is a wireless headset on the market that works on both Sony ps5 and xbox series x consoles at the same time... I would love a 1 wireless headset solution. By the way I currently using arctis 9x with my series x awesome! I'm thinking of getting turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 for my playstation 5. I like Bluetooth features for calls while playing
Mic sounds decent, but a bit overcompressed and heavy on the S-sounds. Then again, seeing as it's compatible with all my devices and wireless it may just be my first wireless headset purchase if I can find one.
Right now I'm in the market for wireless headsets but I'm undecidable especially when it comes to when you have a big head and I saw your review on the 7x but I was also thinking of getting the Turtle Beach stealth 700 Gen 2 and I don't know if that was a good thing to get for someone that has a big head or not or if there's another headset out there that is even better
Just sold me on the 7x I've been looking at steel series for a while now and I was on the fence with this and the ASTRO a40s w/mixamp. I don't want wireless, but want the party chat sliders, without buying a game doc or mixamp type thing. I wanted the arctis 5s but they don't work on Xbox S, I've heard. Still would you still recommend these if I wasnt going to use the wireless part and if not what would you recommend. I was almost dead set on the ASTRO A40S that have the mix-up and everything. Still kinda on the fence with the artist 7x or the ASTRO a40 w/mix-up. Please help me!
So what I want to know is can I use this headset with the wireless connection to my PC, but also receive audio simultaneously through the 3.5mm jack? Use case is I want to chat and hear Discord and PC stuff, but also play on my Xbox Series console, and hear the audio from my second monitor that would be output through that monitor's audio out jack. Playing it through the speakers is a no go, (like also not using a mechanical keyboard) because I'm not a terrible and inconsiderate person.
Can this be plugged into the Xbox with USB for wired use? I refuse to use Xbox controllers any longer since I had bad luck with every single one of the 4 controllers I ordered (two of which were even elite 2‘s). I am now using keyboard and mouse, but plugging my arctis 3 in with a usb to Aux adapter doesn’t work …
Using the 9x with my phone was awful, and I returned it because of it. The bluetooth audio is choppy almost half the time, and I'm not even exaggerating. Trust me, it's not worth passing up the 7x to go with its weaker alternative.
Sucks that my dome is fucking huge. The strap at its ultimate, max length is barelyyy enough. The metal top rests on my head to the point where i just took the strap off. Returned bc of that. My stupid head lol
How loud do these let you get? I ask because rainbow six siege is a pretty quiet game compared to CoD. So I want to know if it can get loud enough to help me out.
I wanne know if the 7X supports virtual surround and how are they watching movies on the series x ? And can you download the dolby atmos on series x to use it on them ?
Can I connect these to my iPhone? I mean I see the 3.5 jack and I have the piece that turns the 3.5 jack into a lightning cable. So if I do that would it work?
I got this headset and immediately took them back. Came from an Arctis 5, which was the most comfortable, greatest sounding headset I had ever owned.. maybe I did something wrong? But the 7x immediately sounded horrible..
It would be really nice if i could actually buy one here in Australia. theyve been out of stock for almost a month and Im operating with no sound currently. I have a series x and pc so dont know if i should just go for the 9x instead
They sound really nice and they are so comfortable but they have a really annoying creaking sound from the plastics and the joints even if i move my head for 1 centimetre… it is a dealbreaker for me! Can anyone suggest an other headset that is on the same level for series x but no creaking sound at all?
So I have a question if anyone could answer that would be great. So I have a series x, it only has 3 USB ports. I have a wireless mouse, keyboard and Sea-gate SSD filling all 3 ports. Would this still work if I ran it through a USB hub connected series x?
I just bought one of the 7X to use on the series X. I love the headset but I found that the mic was terrible. My friends in the party said that it sounded distorted and cheap. Compared to my 5 years old £20 headset that I was replacing.. the mic was 10x worse. Is there any fix for the mic on Xbox? I’m really disappointed because it’s really expensive
I've watched countless videos on the arctis 7x and the TB Gen 2 700, and I cannot decide between the two. I was hoping for a comparison video or if anyone has any advice on the topic?
I have both and have issues with audio cutting out on the TB Gen 2 700. I find the the Arctic 7X to be more comfortable too. The Stealth 700 are too tight as well. I’ll be selling the 700’s
The arctics 3 are the most comfortable headset I’ve ever had and they are on the cheap end. Just had brain surgery and they still feel comfortable, even for hours! These definitely look like those but more beautiful. Can’t wait to upgrade
Omg what was wrong with your brain?
how are you holding up after 3 months?
You really are underrated
Now that I own both ps5 and series x, I wish I purchased 7X instead of 7. Didn’t know they were going to make one that is universal.
@Adam KHALID But I don't need this dongle to connect the Series X?
@Adam KHALID usb c?? Thank God. These Astro a50 I have are garbage. Plus it has regular usb.

It's available right now through phone, I think you have to be signed in to see it.
My mic light doesn’t come on on Xbox series s ? Just got them
Right now I'm in the market for wireless headsets but I'm undecidable especially when it comes to when you have a big head and I saw your review on the 7x but I was also thinking of getting the Turtle Beach stealth 700 Gen 2 and I don't know if that was a good thing to get for someone that has a big head or not or if there's another headset out there that is even better
Is it me or is the volume of the steel series headset are not loud enough vs others like palse or Astro
So the dongle is USB-C but the charging cable is micro USB, WTH!
If I used gaming headsets that would make it an automatic no buy.
Just sold me on the 7x I've been looking at steel series for a while now and I was on the fence with this and the ASTRO a40s w/mixamp. I don't want wireless, but want the party chat sliders, without buying a game doc or mixamp type thing. I wanted the arctis 5s but they don't work on Xbox S, I've heard. Still would you still recommend these if I wasnt going to use the wireless part and if not what would you recommend. I was almost dead set on the ASTRO A40S that have the mix-up and everything. Still kinda on the fence with the artist 7x or the ASTRO a40 w/mix-up. Please help me!
Can i use this wired to my xbox? i dont know whether to choose this or 3 Console Edition
Can it be used wired not wireless with the Xbox? I just plug my current one into the Xbox headset adapter and I'd prefer that to wireless
So what I want to know is can I use this headset with the wireless connection to my PC, but also receive audio simultaneously through the 3.5mm jack?
Use case is I want to chat and hear Discord and PC stuff, but also play on my Xbox Series console, and hear the audio from my second monitor that would be output through that monitor's audio out jack. Playing it through the speakers is a no go, (like also not using a mechanical keyboard) because I'm not a terrible and inconsiderate person.
Can this be plugged into the Xbox with USB for wired use? I refuse to use Xbox controllers any longer since I had bad luck with every single one of the 4 controllers I ordered (two of which were even elite 2‘s). I am now using keyboard and mouse, but plugging my arctis 3 in with a usb to Aux adapter doesn’t work …
The green light on my 7x always blinks ?
I have these. Wish it had Bluetooth though. Is there a difference in sound or formats between 9x and 7x?
No
Using the 9x with my phone was awful, and I returned it because of it. The bluetooth audio is choppy almost half the time, and I'm not even exaggerating. Trust me, it's not worth passing up the 7x to go with its weaker alternative.
Sucks that my dome is fucking huge. The strap at its ultimate, max length is barelyyy enough. The metal top rests on my head to the point where i just took the strap off. Returned bc of that. My stupid head lol
came to know they r good for xbox but are they good to listen music,calls. Please let me know.
How loud do these let you get?
I ask because rainbow six siege is a pretty quiet game compared to CoD. So I want to know if it can get loud enough to help me out.
I wanne know if the 7X supports virtual surround and how are they watching movies on the series x ? And can you download the dolby atmos on series x to use it on them ?
Can I connect these to my iPhone? I mean I see the 3.5 jack and I have the piece that turns the 3.5 jack into a lightning cable. So if I do that would it work?
Gonna go ahead and pick this up for my series x
Just warning you my friend got this headset and he sounded really bad
But other than that its pretty good
I wish the usb wire was shorter. It looks awkward how long it is.
I got this headset and immediately took them back. Came from an Arctis 5, which was the most comfortable, greatest sounding headset I had ever owned.. maybe I did something wrong? But the 7x immediately sounded horrible..
I really really wish they came in white…
It would be really nice if i could actually buy one here in Australia. theyve been out of stock for almost a month and Im operating with no sound currently. I have a series x and pc so dont know if i should just go for the 9x instead
Can you connect it to Xbox and MacBook at the same time? Like if I’m playing and want to use discord on my MacBook at the same time?
Do these work on the og Xbox one? Or only the one s and above?
Really interested in this headset but does the mic sound that bad on xbox?
Is it worth getting the atmos app on the Xbox series x with this headset
They sound really nice and they are so comfortable but they have a really annoying creaking sound from the plastics and the joints even if i move my head for 1 centimetre… it is a dealbreaker for me! Can anyone suggest an other headset that is on the same level for series x but no creaking sound at all?
So I have a question if anyone could answer that would be great. So I have a series x, it only has 3 USB ports. I have a wireless mouse, keyboard and Sea-gate SSD filling all 3 ports. Would this still work if I ran it through a USB hub connected series x?
How is it to watch movies on series x ? And does it support surround?
Picked up the Arctis 1 and regret not just waiting and getting the more comfortable/premium 7’s 😓
Same
This video is perfect! Thanks
Brig I see you on warzone all the time lol 😆
I just bought one of the 7X to use on the series X. I love the headset but I found that the mic was terrible. My friends in the party said that it sounded distorted and cheap. Compared to my 5 years old £20 headset that I was replacing.. the mic was 10x worse. Is there any fix for the mic on Xbox? I’m really disappointed because it’s really expensive
update firmware and turn mic volume to 75% in GG software
I've watched countless videos on the arctis 7x and the TB Gen 2 700, and I cannot decide between the two. I was hoping for a comparison video or if anyone has any advice on the topic?
I feel the exact same way
I have both and have issues with audio cutting out on the TB Gen 2 700. I find the the Arctic 7X to be more comfortable too. The Stealth 700 are too tight as well. I’ll be selling the 700’s
micro usb for charging, god damn it man
