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

I have the Arctis Nova 7P for my Xbox, I’m using it right now it’s awesome

Ok i have 3 ps5's one a pro. 1× pulse elite upstairs 1x steel series arctis 7p ps5 1x steel series nova 7p on pro Previously had the sony platinum headset on ps4 Previously before that was the sony gold. My go to: Arctis nova 7p. Least used: pulse elite. Why? : 1) all three sony are plastic. All three have cracked. Really cheap. 2) The mic sits closer to your mouth than the platinum and gold, due to its design. This creates the worst reason not to own one: it has LED lights right on the tips either side of your head, they are in your vision, and the most annoying thing ever. You can't turn them off. So guess what, its masking tape over the lights.. on your brand new headset. 3) the voice feedback, you know when you speak and you can hear your self ? Makes it more natural as when you speak in the real world, your ears pick up your voice. This headset has this, its completely shit. Difference between 7p and nova 7p: So I upgraded from my 7p of over 5 years ownership, really really enjoyed them, but...5 years. I really hoped the nova 7p was going to be at least at same level as 7p. Its so much better: 1) Battery life is better than an already good battery life. 2) I believe the sound to be superior (thats subjective), but both have premium sound quality. 3) you can pair it to your phone to play music or use ai etc with the mic, you can take calls etc the switch back over to gaming whenever you like without taking the headset off. None of this is on the 7p. 4) its way way lighter and its noticeable. Both are super sturdy. 5) they managed to make them more comfortable, the 7p were very comfortable, but holding both in my hand then head..nova beats it. 6) hearing yourself as you speak, by far the best headset I have ever had for this. Its was damned good in 7p, this is on a different level. 7) you can listen to your music on your phone whilst gaming. 8) both work on pc, mobile phones, etc. 9) there is lossless WiFi mode and Bluetooth built in. The 7p did not have this. My main negative with steelseries 7p and nova 7p, is that when my family are in the sitting room, I put my mates voices through the tv and use the mic on the headset sat on the armchair. The set is designed ti turn off the headset if its not in your head. You can actually update this by plugging into a pc and using the download downloadable app. Then set it to 'never switch off'. There os a mobile app but could nit make it work. So yes the new headset comprehensively refines and beats the original headset that was utterly great already. The quality of life upgrade is brilliant, but...if you had never owned the 7's to start, and purchased the nova 7, you would never ever know all of what I said above. The pulse elite is just gathering dust upstairs. The sound is ok, but they are designed to break on you. Built in failure so you upgrade later. (Look up 'pulse elite headset cracking on google). Wish I had not bothered. Hope this helps.

Such a great choice. I love mine. 

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

I got the SS nova7 and I love them. Only thing to note however, is the dongle is kinda big. It takes up both USB slots on my PS5 Pro when placed in the front.

I have the Nova 7P and the Nova pro. Both have good mic quality, a bit quiet but that also might be my settings. I’ve had the 7P for a good year now and they are amazing and feel comfortable. One thing I don’t like about them is that they seem to slide off my head whenever I look down to grab something off the floor or if I’m looking down at my kids or cats, but other than that they’re perfect and don’t really hurt my ears after long uses definitely recommend

Nova 7p, it’s a good headset, long battery life and it’s white which is the colour of my at set up so that’s the main reason, but excluding that probably the arctic 7p

SteelSeries Nova 7p is the perfect choice for that budget. It's one of the best headsets you can use for PS5. Very comfortable , and sound quality rocks especially if you load a custom EQ into it.

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.

I use the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P headset. I read and watched video reviews, and many of them said that this headset was the best to go with the PSVR2. And after a year of using it, I fully agree. It’s very comfortable and is a perfect fit around the PSVR2. The headphones have a retractable microphone so you can extend it out if you want, but it’s hidden away when you don’t use it. It has both Bluetooth and USB 2.4 GHz connectivity. I use the USB dongle for lag-free and higher quality audio. It even has multi point audio, so you can use both Bluetooth and USB at the same time to hear audio from two different sources simultaneously. I use it sometimes to listen to Bluetooth music from my phone while getting in-game audio via wireless USB from my PS5. The sound quality is very good too. I’m a bit of an audiophile, and even by my standards the sound quality on these headphones are good (my PS5 gaming setup has a 5.1 speaker system with Paradigm Monitor towers in the front. But when I play in VR, I kind of prefer the immersive of headphones. )

7p + and the nova 7p are better than Sony’s so I’d say go with either one. Money saver would be the 7p + and it’s not much of a downgrade compared to the nova 7p. The only thing you really lose with the 7p + is having the newer model mainly. If you wanna save money, do the 7p +, if you want the newer one and spend extra, go nova 7p
