It frustrates me so much that the Arctis 7 and Arctis Pro haven't been updated to USB-C. Good deal otherwise.
i picked up an arctis 7 about 3 years ago and i love it, very comfortable for my huge melon and good battery life. this is from moderate use out of it around 8 to 20 hours a week for discord and roll20 gaming for 3 years
you should be using a magnetic charging cable either way Smilie

I've been so close to buying these multiple times over the past few weeks.

The thing that keeps me from doing so is this model is a few years old already and does not have USB-C or Bluetooth connectivity, which I realize is not common for gaming headsets, but is something I would prefer so I can use these on my PS5 or PC and also easily take calls on my mobile without taking it off.

I tried a similar kind of headset last week and ended up returning it due to how frequent I need to be able to take calls from my mobile also.

The Pro's check that box but are so expensive and also do not have USB-C that I think for now, I'm going to just hold off on looking further on the Arctis headsets until the update their line or lower the prices on the newer models.

For anyone tempted to try, Best Buy in store told me they do not price match to the manufacture's own price and would not match this model to $100. Maybe you'll have better luck at your local Best Buy if you prefer to have easier returns if you end up not liking them.

If you're just looking for a very solid gaming headset that works with PC or PS5, then these consistently rank very well for their specifically intended purpose.

An alternative to consider is the newly released Corsair HS80 which has USB-C and a flip down mic that auto mutes when flipped up vs the push in/pull out mic design of the Arctis headsets. Reviews put both headsets pretty close but slightly favoring the Corsair's overall and with the mic specifically.

I have read reviews and tried and returned a bunch of headsets like this style.

Maybe I'm expecting to much but I'm trying to find the perfect headset for all day use and comfort that has a crystal clear mic, USB-C and can be used for gaming, work/PC (Teams, Zoom) and phone calls via Bluetooth.

Gaming headsets seem to always be weaker in some key areas if you intend to use them for work purposes at home though and the business class UC style headsets likely make more sense if you do not care about gaming also, like I do.

I currently have the Poly/Plantronics Voyager UC 8200 headset and have to say, it is excellent in nearly ever way I specifically care about except for wireless via USB adapter on my PS5, it gets way to much interference for some reason at the same distance that is a non-issue when being used on my PC. I can easily connect the 3.5mm cable though to my PS5's DualSense controller to overcome that.

Quote from Eragorn :
The Arctis 1 does but it has some really awful reviews on Amazon. There's the Arctis Pro Wireless but it uses a battery swap system so you technically never have to plug it in (I have it and have never plugged it in). It's a crazy $330 MSRP though. There are some options on Amazon but not many surprisingly.

Thanks, sorry I was referring to the wireless dongle receiver that plugs into the computer, not the charging port. I'm looking for a wireless headset that uses a usb-c wireless dongle receiver. Everything still uses usb-a Frown

Quote from Mr.Miyagi5 :
The only one that I know of that is highly rated is the hyper x 2 wireless. That said I bought the arctis 7 6 months ago with no real qualms. Someone earlier suggested getting one of the magnetic adapters for the micro USB port so you can snap it on so to speak instead of plugging it in. I haven't done this yet but it seems like a good idea

Minor setback, but for $10, you can buy a magnetic charger cable and attack the micro USB to the charging port of the headphone and just snap in the charging cable via their magnetic end

I bought a pair of 7s due to reviews. I was extremely disappointed in the sound quality. Absolutely garbage.

Picked up some Drop/Senn PC38x and have been a big fan. You can't go wrong with the price. They aren't top tier SQ but they are miles better than the Steels.
Why are you comparing wireless versus wired headphones? That's like saying "Oh that 3-series is crap, it can't off-road nearly as well as my Jeep". Of course a set of wired cans can spend more of their budget on audio quality. Like for like please.

Because every single review compared them higher priced wired option. Also Steelseries website blasts you with marketing about them being some of the best SQ headphone. How could you not expect that?

That's why I'm calling out don't listen to reviews on the SQ.

How does this compare to the Razer Kaira for Xbox? Noticeable improvement? I just picked up the Kaira for around $60 but still within return window.
