The range is solid for wireless and the sound quality is great

The wireless range and battery in these is pretty amazing as it is.

First, the range on this headset, destroys the range on my Corsair Void RGB, it's nearly 3 times the range, I can listen to my music, and walk my dog around my house, and still get signal (albeit choppy at times), comfortable, the void gives me headaches during a long gaming session, but since my head isn't being smooshed by any metal with fabric over it, it's comfortable all day

The wireless capability is very good and has good range.

The audio range was also a bit poor in that if you had good game sound, you had bad music, if you had good music settings, you had bad game sound

My only problems are that it needs the receiver to be wireless, and the battery can sometimes be unpredictable

and I've worn them until I killed the battery before in long gaming sessions.

Great sound quality, good range, very comfortable, good battery life for now

Mic broke after 5 months, one month later the battery started to die and does not reach full charge.

Extremely comfortable, great battery life, amazing sound quality, mic is crisp and clear

These have some great features and I really wanted to love them

For some reason, there is no way to disable this "feature" and makes the unit pretty damn annoying to use

but I find myself using my other headset because of one annoying feature

The problem with the Arctis 7 (and why I knocked off points on the rating) is the VERY annoying auto-shutoff "feature

One of my favorite features is that the mic retracts fulling into the headset so they look like regular headphones

Most of my friends have been impressed by my audio quality in chat and have started saving to get themselves the SteelSeries Arctis 7 Lag-free Wireless Gaming Headset.

If you have a big head, the top of your head will hit the metal bar which leads to a really uncomfortable gaming session

For the price, probably the best gaming headset out there right now.

Easily 5/5 stars and the best gaming headset I've ever used; it's worth it.

I've had several headsets in the past and this is the all around best gaming headset I've ever used

These headphones are a little pricey, especially for the comfort

These are some of the worst sounding headphones I've ever put on my head

These are the most comfortable headphones I've ever tried

No issues with the headphones just a little weird feeling to the ears

Great headphones with great microphone and audio quality

The sound is amazing, the mic is great, the earpads are extremely comfortable

The surround sound is hit or miss, and when it misses, it misses very badly

Sound is great and no one has complained about mic quality

: https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/65ogu1/best_arctis_7_equalizer_settings/But the sound is not very loud

Great headset for the money, solidly built, good sound,

The option to use wireless or in line is another great thing

The worst thing about this design is the pc connection/charging scheme.

There's a lot that I like about the Arctis 7, but the only bad thing is the most important thing about a set of headphones: the sound quality.

The only bad thing I could say about it is that it can't vibrate your entire body like a good

Only thing thus far i do not like the the mute button is really small are hard to press on and off but for all the other great things this headset prevides i can over look it

I have gone YEARS loving SteelSeries but the products I've used in the last 6-12 months have been absolutely abysmal and I cannot recommend their products to anyone anymore.

These things sound great with 2nd party software, the steelseries software is poopish, kicking mud on and amazing product, and an amazing value

I cannot recommend products by companies that won't do right by their customers.

This product is good but for some reason the charging cable messed up real

It is impossible to get to fit perfectly, the device has connectivity issues at all times, and most importantly I've had this product for two months and it refuses to connect to my PC

The Arctis 7 is a great wireless headset with one very annoying design flaw

Design is well thought out and sound is pretty average for a wireless headset

but I need my first sentence to emphasize the poor quality design of the connection between the head band and earpieces which results in an improper fit and earcups that will not seal to my head because of

So with a coupling of weak structure and a poor design, I have a headset that not only is cracked on a stress point but does not seal

but I do not regret buying it as it has awesome sound quality and design

good battery life, good sound quality, and great microphone

At 150 dollars my old Man O' War headset blows this out of the water

The microphone is also incredibly good for a gaming headset

I have a less expensive headset that have these functions and are fantastic (but admittedly lack a microphone)

Had these for 6 months now - work GREAT - good sound and great microphone

Extremely comfortable, great battery life, amazing sound quality, mic is crisp and clear

So basically my mic is bad for weeks because of their bad update

sound is great and the mic i have had no complaints from my friends, as i dont listen to it

To start, this is a great headset: great sound quality, great mic quality, love that its wireless

The mic will not work directly with the system if plugged.

I disabled and then re-enabled the headset in my laptop and still no mic (though the headphones were working fine all along)

wondering what the mic sounds like on the arctis 7’s, wonder no more because this entire review was recorded using it

Was always afraid of getting wireless headphones because of connectivity issues

The only positive I can say about these is that there a bit more comfortable then most headsets

I disabled and then re-enabled the headset in my laptop and still no mic (though the headphones were working fine all along)

I use these for work as I work from home and use these for 2-3 hours a day

no lighting is just odd-Not loud as connecting it directly with usb to headphone connection-this is a solid 125$ headset I believe its overpriced a

Nonetheless I feel spoiled by the clever mic design, although the quality could be improved, as well as the well balanced and enriched audio it can produce

when I got it, it paired very quickly with my console and the headband was extremely comfortable as well as around the ears.

It includes a wireless dongle which plugs into your computer via USB and is used to sync to the headset wirelessly, as well as a USB charging cable for the headset and a 3.5 mm headset jack to mini usb cable for use with non-bluetooth enabled devices (such as the Xbox One).

Instead of a small dongle that can be plugged into the front of my pc, i have to route this obnoxious hub into the back causing clutter on my desktop as well as a cable mess i have to hide

But, after one year the mic now has major issues, and due to the proprietary cable, I do

when I got it, it paired very quickly with my console and the headband was extremely comfortable as well as around the ears.

Additionally, I would have preferred that the headphones would have allowed a simple USB connection in the absence of the wireless dongle, but no, it only supports a proprietary connector cable to your analog audio connector.

The steel series engine software prompted me to update a critical firmware that became available

Edit: I've had another failed firmware update and my headphones just got bricked.

The failed firmware update turned my shiny brand new headset into a brick

Voice and sound clarity and wireless range are great \m/.

I use these for work as I work from home and use these for 2-3 hours a day

The ear cups are way too shallow - leaves my ears red and hurting

Not to mention the ear cups are freaking comfortable and don't hurt my ears after playing for long periods of time.

But after a while the squishyness of the ear cups start pull the headset too close to your head and the insides hurt your ears

So after about 2 hours your ears will be sore because of the hard plastic being pressed on your ear ridges

At some point in time of wearing the headset, my right ear will have pressed against the hard plastic speaker for a long time and it will begin to be painful

The only positive I can say about these is that there a bit more comfortable then most headsets

Super annoying when I am just trying to game with some friends and they have to wait 20 minutes while I fidget with my headset

It will say it is charged one minute and dead the next, sometimes I can use it while it is charging, sometimes I can't

Voice and sound clarity and wireless range are great \m/.

I spent about 30 fruitless minutes describing the problem via a chat session and was invited to submit a support ticket.

At 150 dollars my old Man O' War headset blows this out of the water

From cheapo ones to the expensive Logitech and $150 cat ear ones

Sounds really good l, but the battery quit working and now they are unusable.

I also had a cheap Logitech desktop mic that needed to be replaced

Update:I was going to return these once I got the Logitech G933, but I found that the mic on the G933 is garbage; a complete downgrade in quality from a G230, Logitech's simplest gaming headset

The hard plastic rests directly on my ears and the headset "clamps" pretty tightly

The only positive I can say about these is that there a bit more comfortable then most headsets

Nonetheless I feel spoiled by the clever mic design, although the quality could be improved, as well as the well balanced and enriched audio it can produce

The white stuff on the power button doesn't really bother me much, and I think other people don't have the same problem, but still it keep my shipping from being perfect.

Although other reviews online say that it will fit most people, I very highly doubt it

This killed me when I started a conference call with about 30 people unable to hear me speak

Luckily they can be ignored, I honestly think these people wouldn't have been happy with anything

Sounds really good l, but the battery quit working and now they are unusable.

when I connected the headset to my PC it had a critical update that failed and bricked my headset so thanks Steelseries

The headphones sound great but if you have any background noise at all it overpowers your speech

Nonetheless I feel spoiled by the clever mic design, although the quality could be improved, as well as the well balanced and enriched audio it can produce

And the mic quality is great and does a good job at not picking up background noise.
