Title: Please read review before ordering anything else from this good company😉👌
Review: These headphones, which are the arctic nova five X wireless have the same exact drivers as the series 7 pro wireless. Nova has a 50 to 60 hour battery life. The seven has two interchangeable 20 hour batteries. Nova get one gold star lol. The nova has a companion app for your cell phone that allows you to control the equalizer and over 260 different presets for all different sounds. The series 7, requires you to connect to your computer with a wire via an extra peripheral called a gameDAC , and this thing would be convenient, but can’t hold remotely as much presets as the companion app for the cell phone for the nova. The nova can also be connected to your computer to add custom presets to your app which allows even more diversity, but you don’t need to. Nova gets another gold star. This year the nova introduced a new microphone that blows the series 7 microphone out of the water as far as sound quality And that’s another gold star for the nova. The nova has double wishbone suspension as a pull it to hold the cups firmly on the ears. The series 7 has only one arm on one side of each headphone cup. This can fatigue, the arm after a while, causing the cup to become a little relaxed, and it does not grip the head as hard. The nova is not too tight, but it is snug to keep the sound in. The series 7, also costs almost 3 times as much as the Nova 5x. The series 7 is made with aluminum and nicer materials, but they are also all interchangeable except for the main solid headband that goes across the top. Where as the nova five is made out of material and a thick plastic, it depends really on if you like aluminum or not, but you can’t tell by looking at it that’s just another difference. I have two friends now that bought the seven after I bought the five and they are very upset. I think I got mine on Amazon for under $120 and they spent a little over $300 for theirs. they are happy with the headphone because they’re a good headphones but they’re not happy that they spent the money not realizing that the series 7 is definitely going to be refreshed this coming year. Save yourself the money do you research steel series versus steel series on YouTube you’ll find everything you need to know about the two of them versus each other. This way to save your money for some more video games.. PS because of the 2.4 GHz/Bluetooth dongle. I was able to get the Xbox version faster and still connect it to my PlayStation five. Using the 2.4 GHz dongle. The only difference between the seven and the five is that the seven can connect to your console or computer and still using 2.4 GHz use two channel Bluetooth to also answer the phone. Then number five I believe has 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, but you have to switch between the two of them when using the game console at least but the phone will ring in your ear to let you know you have a cold you just have to switch with one button on the side of the head. I think you’ll find the pricing a little confusing as the pros seven series also seems to fluctuate in price between the Xbox, the PC and the PlayStation version as much as $50 difference between them and there is no difference between them literally so I don’t know why there’s a fluctuation in pricing. Somebody knows I’m not sure if you can reply to my review but let me know? I hope this all helps. Just make sure if you do get the Xbox version for the PlayStation five that you have the 2.4 GHz dongle. It’s a long rectangle. It’s about 2 inches at best but it has a toggle switch. I got the Xbox one because it shipped immediately. I was gonna have to wait a few days more for the PC or the PlayStation version. I’ll tell you that the companion app on the cell phone does wonders using the 260+ presets for the EQ switch instantaneously and on the flight consistently without having to plug into the computer. And without having to worry about a gameDAC or two separate rechargeable battery packs that you have to swap into your ear every 20 hours when you just plug in the series 5 and get 60 hours worth of play. It’s not standby time by the way that’s playtime. You can play every day for eight hours a day for a whole week and still have some hours left over the sound quality is great and you’re just listening to music using your phone they pound. !!!

Title: Can’t recommend these enough
Review: Casual gamer here, but these are incredible value. Fit and feel is second to none. Connectivity is solid, retractable mic is unexpectedly appreciated. The mic has an LED indicator when it’s muted which is a nice touch.Sound quality punches above its price point and even has an app that allows you to choose from basic presets and game specific presets and the list is HUGE. Usually play for about an hour or two at a time and never feel discomfort.Setup was straightforward with the wireless dongle on Xbox. Came from wired Astro A20’s and feel like they’re in the same realm in terms of quality, but more customization and WAY lighter.

Title: Great Headset, 1 Minor Issue
Review: This headset has been overall a positive purchase. The customization options with the Steelseries GG app (absolutley recommend downloading that to your PC if you get a SteelSeries headset) have made it so I can elevate footstep noises in games like R6, but I can also switch that off if I am playing a more laid-back RPG or something. It also has the ability to conveniently connect to your phone, which can be helpful if you get a call or want to listen to music. A bummer about this feature is that you can’t have the headset connected to both at once (if you are listening to something on your phone, you won’t be able to hear the PC and vice versa). Still, it is a convenient feature.For me, the sound quality and comfort of the headset are the real attributes that make the headset a winner. I find that the level of noise cancellation is perfect – strong enough so that little noises such as fans or neighbors are blocked out, but not too deafening where you can’t hear timers, doorbells, or someone talking directly at you. The sound comes through clear, and with the right mixes in the aforementioned app, you can really emphasize the frequencies that are important for any particular game that you might be playing. As for comfort, I’ve worn the headset for hours on end no problem, felt great around the ears as well as the top of the head. It’s worth mentioning that I’ve got a decent sized noggin, so if anyone’s worried about that, I can vouch for these headsets working great!The only issues that I have with the headset are connectivity issues. Sometimes when I boot up my PC, discord doesn’t recognize the headset. The fix that I found was simple and quick (just switching the dongle to Xbox and back to PC), so it really is a minor issue. For me, the battery life is perfect as I don’t go on crazy long marathons or anything, but I could see that a slightly more intense gamer could run into problems there. I would say I charge about 1-2 times a week, probably averaging about 20 hours a week.Overall, good quality headset and I would recommend to people looking for a higher level piece of equipment. Hope this helps!

Review: The headset itself is of good quality with no issues of product. The headset is also only suitable for those with a smaller head.The main issue is with the support that comes with the steelseries app which is needed to update the headset. The app simply doesn’t work as of the time of this review.
