Great headset
Wireless, 3 days battery life, super fast charging, very good range, very good retractable microphone.
Very happy with this headset which allows me to use it wirelessly, both on PC and consoles (PS4, Switch)
I've been wearing it for 3 hours and I don't feel any discomfort, which is highly appreciable during long gaming/listening sessions
The headband adjustment system is much more comfortable than the classic adjustment on the sides of the headset. I was a bit sceptical at first but I'm convinced now :)
The headphones fit well in the ears without feeling hot.
I'm not a specialist in sound quality, but I'm happy with it (the bass and treble are very distinct)
The wireless receiver is much more efficient than Bluetooth, which allows me to move from my living room to my office without jerking and without loss.
To sum up, very happy with this purchase! :)
I acquired this headset after an Arctis 7 basic edition was returned under warranty, which is now no longer available.
Compared to the basic version, I am frankly disappointed. On the plus side, the volume and balance knobs are slightly less sensitive. On the minus side, and this is an understatement, there is a big problem with the headphones sizzling on certain frequencies which did not exist before. See below for details.
The headphones themselves:
Pros:
- Pleasant, even after several hours.
- Very good autonomy.
- The retractable microphone, discreet and not too intrusive.
- The sound of the microphone nickel, according to those who hear me.
- Very good resistance to surrounding sounds.
- And above all, the balance wheel between two different audio outputs, which allows you to adjust the sound balance between the voice and the general sound of the PC from the headset. A must for a gamer's headset!
Minuses:
- Not as stable on the head as it could be. Fast head movements tend to make it move a bit.
- Not a fantastic sound for this price range. For gaming it's good enough for me, but it's not really melodic, it's not the right headset for someone who wants to listen to music.
- And especially a big problem of saturation of a particular frequency. I've had it with people with high pitched voices, as well as some game sounds. The problem can be minimized or almost cancelled by playing around with the software options, at the cost of a slight loss of audio quality.
All in all, a reasonable headset for its price, but I was more satisfied with the previous edition. Lots of great qualities and lots of big flaws, won't suit everyone. The voice / PC sound mixing wheel is still a must, unless I find an equivalent on another headset, I would make the same purchase again.
After 4 days the headset is saturating the sound I don't understand paying 179 euros and having such problems I don't recommend it to everyone and according to some friends the microphone is not of a very good quality
