It’s so irritating just plugging it in and I literally have no other accessory in my house that still use Micro-USB. It boggles my mind why Steelseries sticks with this outdated standard in 2020. What I’m not happy about is Micro-USB charging. I’m happy with the battery life and console players who only do 3-4 hours of gaming at a time will get several days of use out of them. The headset also saves battery by powering down after a preset time of no audio activity.
I was charging the 7X after two days of heavy use of about 13 hours daily made up of Spotify, lots of Zoom calls, and gaming on PC or Xbox.
Steelseries claims 24 hours and that rang true for me. I’m a bit of a hermit gamer so party chat isn’t my jam though I’m confident that it sounds great.īattery life is another thing that remains unchanged from the 7 to the 7X. It sounds great, picking up my voice clearly without the usual nasaliness and I enjoyed using it for my daily work Zoom calls. Just pull it out of its cubbyhole when you need it and slide it back when you’re done. It’s a Discord-certified ClearCast bidirectional microphone that retracts into the left earcup. I’m not a bass head mind you but I appreciate powerful, clear bass to help you ‘feel’ the audio and not just hear it. There are various EQ profiles in the Steelseries Engine but none improved bass enough to make my music pop. I still find the bass response a bit anaemic, which can make music sound cold and clinical. This is great for competitive shooters where there's lots of gun fire. Positional accuracy is excellent making it easy to pinpoint where audio cues are coming from, even in the midst of the action. The clarity and separation is pin sharp making everything stand out clearly, especially in games.
And indeed, these have some of the cleanest game audio on any gaming headset. Steelseries kept the same drivers because of positive feedback on the Arctis 7. In terms of audio, the new headset sounds just like it's predecessor-for better or worse. On the left ear cup are a headphone sharing port, mobile cable jack, headset volume dial, and a mic mute button. On the right ear cup is the ChatMix dial for balancing in game and mic chat audio, and the power button. Each ear cup has all the basic controls for the headset.
