This is perhaps the only headset I've had where my hair doesn't constantly get stuck. The cuffs are nice and soft, and the light weight of the headset lead to my usually 2-3 hour stream to be nearly 6 hours without noticing the time. Could have probably gone longer too. The battery life lasts me a good few days w/o needing to be charged every day. The quality of the sound is nice too with the only downside being no noise canceling, but I like to be able to hear my environment in case of emergencies and knowing what will and will not be picked up by my mic. It does take a bit to get the split audio sorted, so patience is a must especially if you are not familiar with it. I found it easy enough if you are familiar with headset software.

The main characteristics of these are their comfort. Nearly imperceptible clamping force and decent ear-pads to maintain cool for a couple of hours min, at least in my case. After that, earpads become really hot but that is only my case. I lent them to some friends to double check if they got the same feeling but for them there was no problem at all. Maybe my ear skin is very sensitive to heat.

Build quality is really impressive. Nothing to complain. Buttons are nice but maybe the volume dial can be moved really easy when trying to turn on/off Bluetooth or mute the mic. However, that happens until you memorize the location of every button.

Battery is really good. I have never run out of battery in a full week daily use. I did not count how long can last but definitely more than 30 hours of use. They charge quite fast from 0 to 40%, around 15 min.

Wireless range can be a problem if you want to move far away and there are thick wall, like my case. But if you live in a single room apartment or there is a clear path to your PC, range can be up to 10 to 12 mts (30 to 40 ft) before start to lose sound quality.

Software wise, I think is quite useless if not using sidetone or ANC. There are less heavy software to equalize the sound (like APO) so most of the time I don't use Sonar.

The sound of these are OK. My previous headset was quite old and kinda cheap so there is no comparison. One thing I notice is they lack bass.

To sum up, in my opinion this headset excels in comfort and price vs build quality. Sound, mic, battery and features can be matched or even beaten by others.

As others have stated, the headset is "large" in size. I have a medium-large head and they still fit slightly loose. In other words - don't buy them if you're female...

Sound quality is fantastic, and battery life is the best I've ever had with a wireless headset.

The software is buggy and pretty bad, but you can skate by without using it, so whatever.

The mute and on/off button sound effects are weirdly, obnoxiously loud. The volume wheel does not control PC volume - it is a separate heaedset-controlled volume level, which is weird...

Mute button works fine, and I love the retractable microphone. Mic quality is good.

I recently purchased the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming Headset, which exceeded my expectations. As someone who has tried other high-end headsets, such as the BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless 2023 edition and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for PC and Xbox, I can confidently say that the Arctis Nova 7 is the best one yet.

One of the main reasons I chose this headset over the Arctis Nova Pro was because it has full software capabilities while using SteelSeries' Sonar software and the headset's configurable settings, giving it an extra rating boost. The headset's user-friendly software allows you to customize the sound to your liking, making it an excellent choice for gamers and audiophiles.

In addition to the impressive software, I appreciate the immersive sound quality of the Arctis Nova 7. The headset lets me feel the bass and hear everything clearly, making my gaming experience much more enjoyable. Furthermore, the comfort level of this headset is exceptional, making it easy to wear for extended sessions.

However, I did experience a minor issue with the headset not powering on itself. I am currently troubleshooting the problem, but it requires being plugged in first or having Bluetooth enabled for wireless power and connection. I have also encountered dropouts, but I would like to know if this is due to the headset or a faulty USB port in which the receiver sits.

Despite this minor issue, the Arctis Nova 7 deserves a solid 4-star rating and is worth considering for any gaming enthusiast looking for a high-quality wireless gaming headset. The headset's impressive software, immersive sound quality, affordable pricing, and exceptional comfort make it an excellent choice for gamers who demand the best bang for their buck! I am delighted with my purchase and highly recommend the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 to anyone in the market for a new gaming headset.

I use these headphones every day for my computer, the audio is amazing for music, and the 3D audio is perfect for games almost as good as a Bose headset. I bought this while it was on sale and it was the best purchase I've made in a while. For the price, I could have gotten 3 of these instead of 1 Bose headset (notoriously one of the best brands of headphones) and it's just as good. It does require a USB-C port but for a semi-modern PC that isn't a problem. It gives me a range of 25-50 feet of wireless audio (depending on the room) which is great for walking around and listening to music in my room. Additionally, it can connect to BOTH your PC and phone at the SAME time. At first, I thought it was just an all-right added feature but now I nearly always use it when I'm out of range of my PC for it to connect right back when I'm in range. It's also quite comfortable which is something I find necessary in a pair of headphones. Not too much pressure on the ears or top of the head. Sometimes it slips with too much motion so I wouldn't work out in these. It also provides a pretty consistent noise cancellation, it's not top of the line but it works great for a range of you can't hear cars passing outside but if someone is talking to you in the room you can hear them just enough to understand them.

Overall, worth it if you need a pair of headphones. Even more so worth it on sale, instant buy for me.
