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...

Looks to be a site wide code. Works on Steelseries Nova Pro Wireless as well (I tried on the XBox one). Brings the price down to $308 (down from $350). Of course that's not the lowest price ever for that headset. It was on sale for $300 for quite a few weeks on Amazon (couple of months ago).

Nevertheless, good price if someone wants one right away.

I've been using the 7X for about a year and a half now, I forget what I paid for them but:
-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.

Absolutely love my Pro Wireless they are amazing, great sound, easy to use, and comes with 2 batteries so I never have downtime in a longer gaming session. Highly recommend Steel Series.

Nova is brand new released in July. So far from reviews I have seen, they work great and are better than the 7 and 7x. They will be my next headset in the next month or two

Do not buy from Steelseries directly. The CS is alright but the return policy is terrible.

The nova 7x is excellent and does everything.

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

Quote from Gamer-sa :
i hope the newer headsets are better with simultaneous bluetooth. when i use the 9x on xbox and have bluetooth on discord, one or the other cuts out periodically and i have to restart the headset and reconnect in the middle of a game.
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

For the Arctis Nova 7X, other than color, is there a difference between the xbox, ps, and pc versions?

Yes the X is the only one that works with all 3, the others don't work with the other 2 platforms.

I've had their Siberian series 800 for three years and loved it. And when Artistis pro came out i wanted to try it. Unfortunately it only lasted 8 months before one of the right ear cup started to come loose. I've always hanged up my headset when not in use. Dont abuse my gear so not sure why it happen. I am guessing bad quality? Their new Nova came out but the design is the same so I dont think they fixed the issue of it breaking so easily. Warranty said that my damage was not covered even it failing within 8 months. Just putting a comment for quality. Not saying steelseries is bad just that be aware of warranty coverage and current design faults.

My son really wanted these and so I went through many review sites, and consumer reviews. We ran away from Arctis fast. Too many reports of failures with these $150-200+ headphones, and their idea of support is to tell you to break the headphones, send them a picture, and then sometimes still deny warranty replacement. Like WTF! I don't mind the approach, but it should be "approved subject to verification of destruction of the broken headphones" and not hold off on any approval until then. Went with Sennheiser instead and he is quite happy.

Not sure I follow. When going to the Nova 7X link, there're an option to select your console PC, Xbox Ps. They're all the Nova 7X

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.

Ah got it. Other than 7X being compatible with all 3, and 7P/7 only compatible with PS/PC, are the spec the same?

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.
