While it’s smart to use USB-C for next-gen, SteelSeries really would have benefited from a better design for their wireless transmitter. This issue is present when using the device on a PC as well. Especially when the dongle that connects the system to the receiver is unnecessarily long, forcing me to coil it up or just letting it run off of my desk. Plugging the USB-C receiver into a dongle that’s plugged into the Xbox Series X just feels a bit messy. It’s a shame, because this would’ve been a much cleaner setup. The receiver isn’t able to fit into the controller itself, as it's blocked by the bumpers. This long cord plugs into the console and is a few feet long. The device connects using a USB-C dongle meant to plug into a USB port. Adapting to next-genĭespite being primarily designed for the Xbox Series X, the Arctis 7X Wireless is compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch, and the PlayStation family of consoles. Wireless headsets aren’t new to consoles, but this one delivers some of the best range coupled with a strong connection. The wireless range is really solid too, as I didn’t experience any interference or drops unless I completely left my apartment. While I didn’t pull off any 24 hour gaming sessions during my time using the headset, I did use it throughout my full work day, as well as my gaming time afterwards. The battery is advertised to last for up to 24 hours on a full charge. Despite being a bit bulky, the Arctis 7X is mighty comfortable throughout long sessions of use. It’s the only visual differentiator from the other version of the Arctis 7X Wireless that’s designed for the PS5. While the most of the headset is a combination of black and dark grey, the head strap has insersecting green lines, a nod to the platform it’s designed for. There’s a velcro head strap that users can adjust to make sure that the Arctis 7X Wireless properly fits on their head. SteelSeries puts out some really comfortable gear, so no need to reinvent the wheel here. The ear cups are large, round and smooth, with a generous amount of padding. The Arctis 7X Wireless doesn’t look too different from past Arctis headsets. With the next-gen console finally out, it’s time to see how the headset stacks up. Most recently, SteelSeries has launched the Arctis 7X Wireless headset, designed for the Xbox Series X.
SteelSeries also develops products for consoles, looking to deliver quality that rivals that of what’s available for PC. Manufacturing a number of peripherals and equipment, the company has more than solidified its name in the gaming space. SteelSeries is often one of the best brands for PC gaming gear.
