SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 7P Destiny 2: The Final Shape Edition

Ye I got the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P. I love them.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P for Playstation (has a blue headband). I bought and tested 5 different pairs when the Sony Pulse Elites came out (complete garbage by the way), and loved this one the most. I had previously had the HyperX Cloud Alpha wired headset for like 6 years before that which were also fantastic.

Not good Do the maxwells use planar magnetic drivers which are designed to be inherently flat and play audio in its purists form with little to no enhancements. You’ll get bass but not the rumbling/thumping bass you are probably use to hearing in standard dynamic drivers which 99.% if headsets use If you want bass I’d recommend the Astro A50x, Arctis nova pro wireless ore the Arctis nova 7ps. The turtle beach stealth 700 gen 3s are also a good choice The above will give you balanced audio with both bass and clarity/detail. The a50x and turtle beach headset are a smige more bass heavy but not overbearing though

Get the Arctis nova 7ps or the Arctis nova pro wireless headset if you want balanced audio that has clarity/detail as well as rumbling bass If you value extreme clarity/detail and don’t really care for rumbling bass or treble get the audeze maxwells

I tried a few headset last month (PC gaming) SteelSeries Nova 7P, Audiotechnica M50X, Benedynamic DT880 Pro, and HyperX cloud 2. These are my opinion as day-to-day game and music enjoyer. Not an audiophile. I’m using EQ with Steel series GG - Sonar. Nova 7 and hyperX are wireless and closed back. M50X (closed back) and DT 880 pro (semi-open-back) are wired. I settled down for HyperX cloud 2 (upgraded with wicked cushion) for wireless and DT 880 pro for wired with DAC. Nova 7 is awesome, but it falls short on 2 pain points - too small for my head and plastic hinges. I fear I’ll break it in months from my daily usage/abuse. Otherwise they are terrific. M50X is also good with crystal clear sounds… but I prefer open back of the DT880 Pro more. DT880 Pro also has bigger ear cushion, more comfortable long gaming session. Purely personal preference. HyperX cloud 2 works wonders for me. Good sound and bass. Even better when used with EQ. When compared to Nova 7, it has better omph bass in wireless mode (nova 7 is a beast when plugged in). DT 880 pro is my spare for when the hyperX ran out of battery or when I need a better sound for movie immersive-ness. It just works. As your partner wanting wireless, give HyperX and SteelSeries a try. They are both closed back with good reviews. YMMW. These are under $150. If you can spend $200+ then there are other tier of headset that’s outside of my budget range.

This may, or may not, be relevant but as a glasses wearer the Arctis Nova 7P has been the only headset for me that I could wear for 12+ hour gaming session and not cause me to have a massive headache by ramming my glasses into my skull. The other bonus is the ability to simultaneously connect to the Ps5 through the dongle and bluetooth to my Ipad, or something else, to listen to music while I game.

Recommending headphones for gaming is somewhat difficult because it's so subjective. There's no one headphone that rules them all that let's you hear the best and make you a god that can hear every footstep for $200. But, with that being said, there's of course a difference in quality with what you get with $50 vs $200. I would personally recommend the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P or 7X. Be careful if you're on console because it has 2 versions of the headset, one that has a dongle that works with PlayStation and the other Xbox. (If you're on PC, then either version works as the dongle can be switched to be compatible with PC.) The sound quality is pretty decent and it has a built in mic as well.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P (and before that the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+, nothing went wrong with them, I just wanted to upgrade)

I just purchased the steelseries arctis nova 7p - they are pretty comfortable and sound quality is excellent. They also have dual audio from 2 devices.
