Remember if you have multiple systems to always buy the Xbox version of the headset or peripheral. The Xbox versions will work on all systems usually but not the other way around because they have to have the Microsoft security chip.

This came out in October of last year...I highly doubt you will see a refresh simply because it charges through micro USB.

They dropped the 7's in 2016. It is true that this past October this version came out - and I think it's just white to match the PS5. Don't know if any tech improvements.

I own this one, haven't tried the Sony in full disclosure. From all my reading, this is the one to get especially if you care about the microphone. The Sony's mic is terrible sounding by comparison. The only reason I have seen to get the sony is A. Cheaper and B. Better integration. With the Sony things like the battery life display on screen and auto switching happen more seamlessly.

I'm pretty happy with these. I got them from GS using a lot of reward points so the price was good. They do distort a bit during explosions but I am comparing them to my multi-thousand dollar surround sound system so its a bit unfair. That said, the 3D audio is good and there is a lot of customization.

One tip I found is to raise the volume on the PS4/5 to the max for the headphones and lower the volume on the headphones themselves. When you do the opposite and have the volume down on the system and compensate with the volume control on the headphones you get some background hiss. The other way around is perfect.

Right, just saying that this specific model came out late last year. They aren't going to do a redesign in less than a year after it came out, even if its based on an older design.

The only difference I know of between the two is that the wireless transceiver is a USB-C design here that can take different adapters whereas the 7 uses a USB-A dongle. You CAN plug the USB-C directly into the PS5 but it will block part of the close by USB-A port. I have it running through the USB-A converter on the back of the console and that works well...my only complaint is the USB-A dongle is stupidly long.

Given the price difference, maybe the Pulse 3D still. I say that owning the Pulse for my PS5, but the Arctis 7 with my PC. They are both excellent, in my opinion. I have no issue operating the mute, volume, etc, on either. Both sound good for their price class, and those on the other end can hear me clearly.

The reason I would maybe still go pulse, even aside from being $50 less, the integration with the PS5 is very clean. When you mute the headset the mute light lights up on the controller (maybe it does with this Arctis, but the Pulse for sure does). The volume adjustments and battery life show on the PS5 itself, it just... works.

Again, none of that is to say the Arctis isn't perfectly fine also, I just can't imagine between my PC Arctis experience and my Pulse 3D experience, that there is really $50+ in extra value there.

Yeah I mentioned that integration side of things as well and I agree that would be nice...in terms of $50 more value...here is what I've seen:

1. Better Build Quality (metal vs. plastic)
2. Better ear cups (fabric vs. fake leather)
3. Better Mic quality (this one is dramatic)
4. Double the battery life (24 hours vs. 13)
5. Better noise cancellation on microphone

Whether this is worth $50 when giving up the UI niceties of the Pulse is up for debate. I think a lot of it depends on whether the headset user plans to use the microphone a lot.
