It’s more of an “audiophile-esque” sound than most gaming headsets shoot for. It’s a sound that can seem a little unexciting at first, but after your brain adjusts it’s pretty impressive. You’ll notice a gentle focus on high-end details and less bass emphasis than you’re used to, if you’re coming from most other popular consumer headphones. The sound is tuned by default for a balanced, neutral, slightly bright response. Just like the other two Arctis headsets, this uses Steelseries’s most expensive headphone drivers, which used to be reserved solely for their $300 wireless headset. The Arctis 7 sits a tiny bit closer to the head than the 5, and it doesn’t look too silly to use outside. The Arctis 7, on the other hand, is completely worth the price. The G533 is completely baffling in a world where the Arctis 7 exists, and I don’t think you should buy Logitech’s new offering. Like Logitech’s new G533, just released for the same $149 price point. Just like the Arctis 5, it stomps all over certain competitors. I was curious if the ~$149 Arctis 7 could recapture the magic of the Arctis 5 in a wireless format.Īside from some extremely minor quibbles, you’d be hard-pressed to get a better wireless gaming headset for the price. Now that I’ve switched back to Windows for my main home PC, I decided it was time for a new gaming headset to celebrate. In particular, the DTS Headphone: X surround sound relies on Windows. When I switched to Mac, I lost not only two thirds of my Steam library, but also the ability to make proper use of all the Arctis 5’s features. It’s still one of the best headsets you can buy for $99. I reviewed the Arctis 5, which had no major faults at all. The Steelseries Arctis lineup of gaming headsets hit the market with a surprise launch last year.
