SteelSeries [steelseries.com] is offering 12% off on headsets (maybe entire site too).
Use promo code:
SHOCK12 at checkout
after discount:
SteelSeries Arctis 7X [steelseries.com] =
$131.99 + tax
SteelSeries Arctis 7X+ [steelseries.com] =
$149.59 + tax
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7x [steelseries.com] =
$158.39 + tax
for those of you wondering what the difference is between all these headsets:
7X = 24 hour battery life and Micro USB
7X+ = 30 hour battery life and USB-C Charging allows 15 minute quick charge for 3 hour usage.
Nova 7X = 38 hour battery life,
Bluetooth, USB-C Charging allows 15 minute quick charge for 6 hour usage,
lighter, better app, sound and comfort than the 7X+, however the 7X has a better build quality.
I recommend 7X unless you want the upgrades from the Nova 7X. the 7X+ is like the middle child here that doesn't offer much when compared to saving $16.80 with the 7X or getting more upgrades with the Nova 7x for only $8.80 more than that 7X+.
This is the #1 series of headsets for multiplatform compatibility.
Works on PC, Switch, Xbox Series/One, PS5/PS4, Mobile, etc...

Nevertheless, good price if someone wants one right away.
-Daily usage for work and watching videos, gaming, Zoom meetings, etc...
-Not exactly nice to them, I throw them in my work bag to go to the office. Nothing broken yet. The retractable microphone is smart.
-I can wear them all day with no fatigue
-Minus the strap being flashy, they look nice and don't have the ugly "gamer" aesthetic
They still last for a full day, and well into the next if I forget to charge them. Sound is really decent, and mic quality is great. Range is solid, I can walk several rooms away and usually maintain a Discord call. I really like them.
Things I do not like:
-Micro-USB. Not sure why ANY company is still using this. Worth the extra 7X+ dollars for USB-C by itself. I have to use Micro to C adapters and they break all the time.
-Wireless dongle is a bit awkward for people who travel with these. It needs to be on the extension cable and away from your PC or the electronic interference will reduce the range to bluetooth levels.
-Sensitive to where it's placed, if I place the receiver so that something metal gets between it and my headset, range is cut considerably - but it's still pretty far.

Except having a mobile/console app to control audio on console and no sonar or consoles.

glad they added discord voice on xbox which should solve this problem, but haven't tried it yet.
Same problem for me. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. Huge waste of money
Yes the X is the only one that works with all 3, the others don't work with the other 2 platforms.
You have to select the Xbox version to get the 7X, the PlayStation version is the 7P, and the PC version is 7.
The 7X is the only one of the 3 that works on everything hence why you don't see anything other than 7X on this deal because the 7X is the superior choice of the 3.

I don't own a Xbox, only a PC and PS5, and would use it for zoom/slack calls for work. I guess it's not really noticable when on but would rather not have the green band.
