SteelSeries Arctis 7X vs HyperX Cloud II Wireless

And SteelSeries Engine 3 works on both Windows PCs and Mac OS as well. So within Engine 3, we have controls for EQ, mic monitoring, microphone volume,...

The sound is really great (sorry, don't really know how to describe these things yet) and totally different to my previous headsets. I owned the HyperX Cloud II and some no-name amazon headset and I'm glad that I switched. I was really suprised what open-back really mean. Currently I only have the headphones, so no dac/amp or anything (yeah, shame on me, sorry for that) but I'm looking forward on buying a proper interface, since I'm also going to buy a microphone

So is the SteelSeries Arctis 7X worth the money? I would say so. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is also in this price range and it gives you a comparable...

I have a separate mic so I dont need a mic on the headphones. Previous headphones have always made me sweaty, fatigued and just plain uncomfortable.

Great sound quality. Solid battery life. Independent audio controls. Only con is you can't do Game Audio and Bluetooth at the same time

They swivel in all the necessary directions for a good fit, and a comfortable drop around the neck, but they don't fold or anything, so they're best when they stay at the desk, rather than in transit in a bag. The battery life is fantastic. It's rated at 30 hours, which means that I can go a week or even longer without charging these headphones, even when each day I'm using them for 6 or so hours. This may be due to the battery saving auto-shutoff that they have, or it could be that HyperX underestimated their own batteries

When I asked, everyone in my part chats told me I sounded fine during my testing. Build quality on the Arctis 7X also really surprised me with how good it was. During my research, I read through plenty of complaints about issues with the Arctis 9X earcups having the tendency to loosen and become detached from the swivel sockets attached to the headband. The Arctis 7X felt rock-solid and I never ended up worrying about that ever happening

At 300+ hours of use, there's almost no other gaming headset in the ballpark of comparison. As a result, this has become my de facto workhorse for communications at the office. I could use these at the office every day for over a month before needing to charge it. If you find yourself not wanting to charge yet another device, but still want a wireless headset, this one is for you

And again, it just floats on your head with that elastic band. And you can also take the headband and the ear cushions off, wash them, replace them if...

Overall good: Comfortable to wear, good sound, good mic and no need to plug it in everyday. The cons of this headset. This is my opinion, and I understand that some will roll their eyes are some of this, or disagree, but this is what I don't like about them: Wear: No cons, they are some of the most comfortable headphones I have owned. Sound: The sound is really good on these

However buy them from the Steelseries site or Walmart cause it's going for MSRP. On Amazon you have independent sellers marking up the price being greedy like a scalper. I hope this review helps especially if you are interested in purchasing these headsets.

This is a nice inexpensive headset. Great sound and overall quality. Didn’t want to spend $300 or $400 for too of the line.

The comfort level will vary person to person depending on your features such as ear/head size. They are slightly adjustable, fit my young teen well, are too large for my ten year old and most uncomfortable on my husband who is a very large guy. Your ears will get hot, which isn't uncommon with headsets, and I don't have experience with anything higher priced to know if this can be much better when you are going for noise cancellation. The mic is fine for a young gamer but not impressive

I'll start with the main con and why I gave it three stars. No matter the drivers or the program to use with this headset. What I found to minimize/ get rid of popping/crackling is not using dtsx/spatial sound. Also turning off Exclusive mode and audio enhancements in control panel > sound

It's high-end, but a step or two down from the company’s flagship models (the Bluetooth-enabled Arctis 9 and the dual-battery Arctis Pro Wireless, both a few years old). It feels good, sounds good, and can wirelessly connect to a wide variety of devices besides PCs, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Android phones with USB-C ports. It faces stiff competition from above and below, though, with the Razer Barracuda X, an Editors' Choice pick, providing strong mic performance and the same wireless connectivity options for much less money, and the slightly pricier JBL Quantum 800 adding RGB lighting, Bluetooth, and active noise cancellation to the mix. Still, the SteelSeries Arctic 7+ is worth a purchase, especially if you're using it on PC

The fact that these are wireless is such a convenience! I've been playing the aforementioned games and had to use the bathroom only to hurry back because I heard footsteps approaching or some other alarming sound haha It's really been a lifesaver. Besides games, being able to go get a drink and still hear my show has been nice too. I'm sure there are better headsets out there, but these seemed good for the price and after a year and a half of near constant use I'm still very happy with them. I would buy them again in a heartbeat if something happened to my pair
