Fantastic video! Exactly what I was looking for - thank you! The sound from the PS5 Steelseries 7p+ is amazing but, they need to fix a few things. A) the dongle situation is ridiculous B) the EQ should built in to an installable iPhone or Android app C) chat volume mixer needs should control the chat volumes IMO.
I got pulse 3d from sony recently and how good 3d audio is with this headset But big issue is not Comfortable ear cups and you helped me to pick this 7P+ to enjoy 3d audio with good ear cups and fully compatible with PlayStation 5's Tempest 3D 👍🏼
@@sicksixsiX_ I am wearibg it right now while playing Returnal. You won't be disappointed! Make sure you gonna adjust the EQ on PC like you wanna have and then you're ready to go :)
Gotta be honest, turning 3D Audio OFF actually provides a better sound. To get 3D Audio, the EQ has to go flat. Surround sound is nice but is definitely muffled when 3D Audio is on.
@@Kapono5150 while in some ways I agree, mostly for PS4 games. PS5 games like Vanguard makes it amazing imo. I notice the sound difference b/w Vanguard and Warzone despite being the same engine
@@BestGameLoadouts so what do you suggest to do to hear more footsteps do I turn off 7.1surriund on my artic 5 and what headset do you recommend for ps5
I just got these and they are sooo much better than the pulse 3D and trust me, I had the pulse for like a year, the immediate comfort on these is amazing, plus, I hate the pleather of the pulse which got damaged and made them look ugly af
I’ve been using the Steelseries arctis 7p now for 2 years with my PS5. It’s beautiful, clear and spatial… the battery life is incredible and the comfort for glasses wearing individuals is amazing, but that’s it. The Arctis 7p is not an all around headset for games, multimedia and movies, it’s for games. Even after updating the firmware and choosing a great preset, the bass is so underwhelming it’s flat. I was very misinformed by Pulse 3d and arctis 7p reviews. Everyone favors the 7p and even says the mic is better. I just reluctantly bought the all black pulse 3d tonight from Best Buy (Saturday 12/10/22) and 2 hours with it, it’s simply beautiful. The standard sound preset on the eq beats the arctis 7p beautifully and the bass I was missing and wanting in the 7p is available automatically on the bass boost preset in the eq setting on the ps5. I don’t base my gaming headsets anymore on gaming spatial sound or quality, I now base it on… is it capable and worthy of watching Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray movies and sound good across the spectrum without dropping or bottoming out. The arctis 7p cannot keep up, the pulse 3d just blew my mind and for $50 less. The arctis 7p is gorgeous, but it’s not even close to the performance of the pulse 3d. The microphone clarity blew my friends away and hearing them was so crystal clear. The arctis 7p is always trying to keep up in chat. I underestimated the pulse 3d based on so many articles and UA-cam channels. If you have the arctis 7p, go to best buy, by the Pulse 3d, use it for one night. If you don’t like it you can return it no questions asked for 1 month. I expected to return the pulse 3d but again, it way overshot any expectations I could have ever had for it. Arctis 7p, I love you, but I’m selling you now.
You didn't said anything about the comfort of Pulse 3D and comfort in a long game session is very important. You can have the best audio quality ever but if a headphones makes you uncomfortable it can kill your will to play long pretty fast.
If you're like me and want a sound for all around, go with immersion settings. I have played cod with it and you can hear footsteps and such pretty good anyways. Playing the shooter settings sucks for other games and honestly sounds weird on shooters aswell. But if you are a sweat/competetive type who don't care about good sounds, then you can't go wrong with the shooter setting.
@@Welshgamer2514 yeah I know, it is the 7p that has it. But this guy has another video up about that so check it out, he basically translates the 7p immersion equalizer to 7p+. I used his setting on it and was very happy with the sound quality.
I was looking for a good headset for my PS5, and you helped me make an informed decision through your videos. Thank you so much! They were great! The Arctic 7P+ is the one I’ll be going with.
I hate mine so far just got em yesterday they make a hissing noise when nothing is playing and I can't find any eq settings for the 7p+..do you need to go to sound engineering school to understand headsets now?
@@TheFIlthy420 I got mine the other day to upgrade from my hyperx cloud stinger and I see a little difference. Hyper more bass and comfy. 7+ is a pain for thr EQ cause yoy gotta go in the pc yo change everytime
A little late to the party but have you tried using the mic all the way retracted into the headset? Definitely gets rid of the airline pilot sound and might be the go to
If you have a big head this headset might be a little annoying for you. Unless you don't mind it being in place firmly, but it's not too tight where its annoying.
Literally any earphones or earbuds will support Tempest 3d as it’s not headphone dependent. Interesting though that I’ve seen a number of forum posts on Reddit and others saying the 7P+ doesn’t sound as nice as the 7P or others and the bass is either lacking or muddy, and it’s nothing to do with them not tweaking the eq settings.
In preparation for my psvr 2, I had purchased the Pulse 3Ds. I was immediately disappointed with the lack of sound and volume from Sony's "PS5" headset, that I just returned them. Seriously, the max volume is about 50% of my Arctis pro DAC. Decided to buy the Arctis 7Ps instead, since I found a pair for $100 but immediately saw there was a 7P+. I panicked, thinking I missed out on a better headset, but if the ONLY difference is the usb-c charging and 4 extra hours, I can breathe a sigh of relief (and save $80). Thanks for the clarification!!
Wank! If you want to watch a film you have to plug the head set into your pc or laptop and change the settings, if you want to play a game, you have to plug into your pc or laptop and change the setting accordingly to what you’re using it for 😮💨😮💨😮💨 had to swap them for the nova pro 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 now that’s a head set 😍😍😍 unbelievable 🎉🎉🎉🎉
What is the difference between chargers ? Is it open back head set ? Does it pick up a lot of background noise for the other players to hear in party chat ?
@@picsoleated the 7p+ is missing or has completely different presets. Just got them today after seeing so many reviews and I can't see the best settings for call of duty and general games. Are you able to take a look and maybe update us?
@@danlav313g he has made a video for the best immersion/fps preset, it's basically the smiley preset but u slightly increase all the options in the preset, hope this helps!
So, I think I watched all videos about the Arctis 7p and also the TurtleBeach Stealth 700 Gen 2. I really can‘t decide which one I should buy. Some say the 7p is the best for PS5 and the 700s are better for XBOX and some say that the 700s are the best for PS5. I really want Go get the best for my money. Would you rather recommend the 7p or the 700s?
I’ve had nothing but problems with 700s gen 2 for Xbox but that’s probably cause at the time when I got it there was no dongle for it and I was strictly connected with Bluetooth.
What exactly is the Game/Chat Mixer feature that gets lost? I feel like it's self-explanatory but I still don't know specifically what is Game/Chat Mixer?
@@samiralthakafi You're going to have to wait for a while to regain more than enough money to buy 7P+ so you can have two of them. Hopefully, you have the warranty.
I just got the Arctis 7P+ yesterday and the EQ presets are different from the original 7P. Can you please make a video on the best audio settings for the 7+?? I can't find anything online about it.
Love the sound. Having a slight issue though. I use the elgato 4k60pro game capture card. I don't get any audio on obs when you change the audio to "all audio". If I put it to chat then the audio works but in obs only.....not the headset. I'm currently researching this issue
Hey I just got these headphones today, I also have the Arctis 7X. I just noticed with the Equalizer software for the PC, the 7P+ doesn't have Performance or Immersion modes, it has Flat, Smiley, Bass Boost, Focus & Custom. What settings should I use for action adventure games like Ghost Of Tsushima and what settings for First person shooters. I've always used Immersion for Ghost of Tsushima on thr 7x but now it's completely different with the 7p+
Thanks for this in-depth review! One question, is the shade of white different on the 7P+? I noticed that the original 7P does not completely match the white color of the PS5 (which is a slightly blueish-white) so I’m wondering if they changed this on the newer headset.
Hey I just bought it and I would like to know how you have them configured with the Eq settings ?, because I saw that they are something different than the normal 7p
Thanks. Just bought these. Looking forward to trying them. Just one minor point, I assume that the game / chat mixer is only limited via USB, or for 3D headsets, because until my Astros died, I was getting 5.1 and chat with mixer still, just like PS4. You just needed a HDMi to Optical splitter to achieve it.
I just got mine and I'm hating my experience so far.. they make a hissing noise when no sounds are going and I don't know what eq settings to use for Story rpgs
I do appreciate your videos, very detailed and pleasant. For this video I gave back pulse 3d and got artic 7p+. You were right about the audio quality and immersion, and of course the comfort compared to the pulse 3d. I just have 2 problem. The mic is picking everything, even my breath or any small sound even far away from me, and not because my sidetone is up, my friends in the party told me, where the pulse 3d mic was much better ( my friends in the PS5 party said), so because your test mic seems good, can you show how you set the mic on the app and on PS5? Also, they removed immersion mode from the eq and I thought if maybe you have a custom preset similar to immersion. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Did you find solution for the mic echo, as i have same problem my friends in party they can hear their voice back, tried to lower mic level but still the same also i can hear my own breath and voice
I bought microphone foam windshield. A set of six for for £2.99 Amazon. Even though they were for a round microphone they fit and look great imo, really helped eliminate background noise. Hope this helps.
I’ve been curious about the 7P line of headsets as I’m still rocking the 2019 Arctis 7 Wireless; however, I recently bought a second PS5 for my home, so these appear to suit my needs. Solid review, dude! 👍🏻
@@gauges2109 No nothing. Focus and Smiley seem to be best (who names these). Focus seems best for shooters and smiley RPG. Something Inbetween them both is probably best
Did they make the dongle a little longer because it doesn't go in when you have a phone case on your phone If they didn't then it really isn't that big of an upgrade And it also does not justify paying for it
I have the white 7P’s and have enjoyed them but I’m considering trading with my buddy who just bought the black 7P+ headset. The only thing holding me back is that my white 7P’s volume gets much louder than the black 7P+. Has anyone else experienced this? If anyone has advice to help me make my decision, I would really appreciate it! Thanks
@@LiveinSeattle I've had mine 7p+ for 2 weeks and no matter what I do the max volume isbt enough. Audio and quality is so good but my hyperx cloud stinger are jsut as loud and 110$ cheaper. But everyone has to know they only have 40mm speakers while other competitors are rocking the 50mm or bigger
If the headset has a 3.5mm headset connector than you could buy a separate cable and a mini volume booster/amplifier for cheap to increase the volume. Works wonders, and only if you don’t mind connecting to your controller.
I need to know... when you have the 3.5 mm audio cable plugged into the headset and plug the jack into a device while the USB-C dongle is plugged into a different device... do you hear audio from both sources or does the headset default to only one of them at a time?
All these videos and no one talks about the major differences between the two. Which is the equalizer and must you do to get close to the immersion settings of the 7p.
Anyone (preferably with a ps5) know how these compare with an Arctis Pro? I've had mine since 2019 and was simply curious since other headsets I've bought in the past dont seem to provide enough volume or even bass. Thank you for the feedback.
Hi halfway through the video and enjoying it so far plus I’ve just subscribed, can I ask have you tried any of these headsets with sifu the game that released in February
@Picsleated Bro how's the 3d sound in 7P while playing games? Does arctis 7p produces the same tempest 3d sound like pulse 3d headset? Because I am thinking to buy a headset with 3d audio recommend one :)
@@picsoleated thanks for the fast reply. Let's hope they do it asap 🙂 also one more question if i may, to fine tune the settings,can I take ou the dongle without turning off the PS5, or is it risky to do it while it's on?
I like the battery life but it doesnt have the dynamic compression the arctis 7 had on the software. the sound is op! these headsets are really hurting my ear drums. I have been using my arctis 7 on my ps5 and plan on returning my 7p+
Hi, I just bought some 7ps and I’ve noticed that they are significantly quiet. When playing games like Rainbow 6 where I need to hear footsteps and movement, I’m not able to hear pretty much anything but myself. I’ve messed with the eq and my volume settings but nothing has worked. Any suggestions?
Same here! I recently got mine and I play R6 as well on the PS5 and noticed even though the volume was on max, the sound was significantly lower than my previous headsets. Also noticed how some of the EQ settings are different from the 7P.
@@LiveinSeattle I never got around to fixing the issue. I returned the headset to Amazon and I bought the 7p+ off of best buy hoping they wouldn’t be faulty. Surely enough they worked perfectly with the eq settings and I still use them today. Best headset I’ve ever owned
Is the arctics 7p still better than the pulse 3d ? Bc they got adjustable eq settings on the ps5 itself since 1 or 2 months or so. My question is are the 7p still better than the Sony ones even with the "new" eq settings on the pulse ? :) PS, Oh and I almost forgot to say nice Review dude ;)
more on that on my pulse 3d review :) but in short, the pulse 3d EQ settings definitely shrink the gap between the two audio performance-wise, but it's still difficult to beat better hardware even with good software
have you had a chance to check out the new Sonar settings available on the steelseries executable? compatible with the 7Ps as far as can tell. has a specific Fortnite setting which is all im playing atm. cant find anyone that has done a good review for it yet. it allows you to keep your original 7P equaliser settings then add the new Sonar effects. finding it confusing :D please help
Yeah I've tried using them, I believe those only work while the headset is connected to your computer and the settings don't transfer over if you're trying to use the headset on your PS5. I could be wrong though
Hi there I was going to get the turtle beach 700 gen 2 after seeing few videos of the 7p and 7p+ so far the steel series are good for all rounder esp if I'm playing call of duty what would be worth to buy the 7p or 7p+ as I can't make up my mind.
Hey do u have any settings ? Or can you make a tutorial like you did it at the 7p? Because at the 7p+ i dont have the presets immansion and performance.
the 7 supports 7.1 surround sound while the 7P is designed to be optimized for 3d Audio, taking advantage of PS5's 3d Tempest engine. It is possible however that both can take advantage of the Tempest engine since it's designed to be applied to most if not all headphones
The standard 7p is on discount. I’m from the uk so the 7p is reduced from £175 to £116.99. But I wanted the 7p+ so got it instead. Wanted those extra few features it has. My 7p+ arrives tomorrow.
@@picsoleated ya I know they aren’t game focused. But I have to say they are focused and work great. I tried ghost of tushima and sounded great. I seem to hear footsteps in cod that my friend who uses the a50..?? I think they called. Being beats I would figure they would have the drivers and subs to fully support the 3d sound. No headphones are truly surround sound anyway. Because that takes 7 separate speakers located and one sub (7.1). Correct..? But yes the beats work GREAT if you own them no need to buy headset.
Hey nice video bro. I’ve watched like 4 already, I just bought de 7p+ ones n I can hear my own voice all the time! It’s literally a playback of me n I don’t know if that’s normal or not! If not how you take it off?!!
Mute your mic, or you have a wheel on one cup Called “Sidetone” you can turn it down. You hearing your voice is a feature called “sidetone” it’s very useful for people that speak in Discord or Group Chat so you can hear yourself. Some people like to hear themselves (like me).
I think the difference is the 7+ support 7.1 virtual surround sound and the 7p+ support 3d tempest on the ps5. I know because I have the 7+. I asked customer support and they told me they both support 3d audio.
Hi I recently got the 7p + and when I was going into the eq settings I noticed that they have different presets to the old 7p And I was wondering does anyone know the differences between each new eq preset on the 7p + .
When I don't have the headset turned on all audio output is still going to the headset only and not my TV speakers. I have to use the headset to hear games/chats whatever. Is that normal? Aren't these like other headsets in terms of when you turn them on the audio defaults to the headset only and when off it defaults to the TV only?

The mic is picking everything, even my breath or any small sound even far away from me, and not because my sidetone is up, my friends in the party told me, where the pulse 3d mic was much better ( my friends in the PS5 party said), so because your test mic seems good, can you show how you set the mic on the app and on PS5? Also, they removed immersion mode from the eq and I thought if maybe you have a custom preset similar to immersion. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Did you find solution for the mic echo, as i have same problem my friends in party they can hear their voice back, tried to lower mic level but still the same also i can hear my own breath and voice
I bought microphone foam windshield. A set of six for for £2.99
Amazon. Even though they were for a round microphone they fit and look great imo, really helped eliminate background noise.
Hope this helps.
could you do EG for this headphones, there are is no good information on internet
I thought about buying Arctis 7P+ but I have Turtle beach Recon 500. Does it support 3D spatial virtual sound on consoles?
Are able to make a video on the EQ settings that are best used for the 7p and 7p+? Or a custom EQ setting that is best??
I like the Black 7+ more than the white color on the 7p+ but i play mainly on my ps5 and want to have the 3d sound. which should i get?
I’ve been curious about the 7P line of headsets as I’m still rocking the 2019 Arctis 7 Wireless; however, I recently bought a second PS5 for my home, so these appear to suit my needs.
Solid review, dude! 👍🏻
I saw ur videoes but u choosing arctis 7p+ or nova 7p?
Hi mate, they've got rid of the immersion and performance options on this. Could you please advise which settings are best
I mines to flat.
@@gauges2109 No nothing. Focus and Smiley seem to be best (who names these). Focus seems best for shooters and smiley RPG. Something Inbetween them both is probably best
Hm do i go for the Arctis 7+ or the Arctis 7P+ as a casual gamer? Guess its hard to say but i just want peoples opinion.
Which one should I go for. Arctis Pro + GameDAC or Arctis 7P+ ? Thanks I’m advance.
Did they make the dongle a little longer because it doesn't go in when you have a phone case on your phone If they didn't then it really isn't that big of an upgrade And it also does not justify paying for it
This was a really helpful review. Thanks a lot!!
Glad it was helpful!
Are there any improvements to the 3D audio vs the older ones or is this just a slight update?
I would say a slight update
Do the PC37X headphones next please!
I don't know whether to buy these or the new Arctis Nova 7p 🤔
I would recommend the Nova 7P as it improves in many ways on an already solid headset
@@picsoleated does the EQ settings in this video be good for Nova P as well? :)
Thanks in advance
My biggest problem with this headset is I cannot charge my controller and use my headset at the same damn time.
I have the white 7P’s and have enjoyed them but I’m considering trading with my buddy who just bought the black 7P+ headset. The only thing holding me back is that my white 7P’s volume gets much louder than the black 7P+.
Has anyone else experienced this? If anyone has advice to help me make my decision, I would really appreciate it! Thanks
I jzut night the 7p+ and I feel my hyperx cloud stinger are jsut as loud and there 60$ headset
I'm returning my 7P+ because of the low volume. Audio quality is good, but you practically have to have them on max volume on PS5
@@LiveinSeattle I've had mine 7p+ for 2 weeks and no matter what I do the max volume isbt enough. Audio and quality is so good but my hyperx cloud stinger are jsut as loud and 110$ cheaper. But everyone has to know they only have 40mm speakers while other competitors are rocking the 50mm or bigger
If the headset has a 3.5mm headset connector than you could buy a separate cable and a mini volume booster/amplifier for cheap to increase the volume. Works wonders, and only if you don’t mind connecting to your controller.
I need to know... when you have the 3.5 mm audio cable plugged into the headset and plug the jack into a device while the USB-C dongle is plugged into a different device... do you hear audio from both sources or does the headset default to only one of them at a time?
It will only take the wired audio
I have Astro A20 for my PS5!… Thinking of Changing them for a 7p
can share what the best immersion EQ setting for this 7p+.I really want know
Hey bro! Can you share your favorite EQ for these pair?
All these videos and no one talks about the major differences between the two. Which is the equalizer and must you do to get close to the immersion settings of the 7p.
Did you notice a mild buzzing sound in the background noise when at full volume? It’s a problem I’ve noticed with my pair I recently purchased
which one is better? SteelSeries Arctis 9 vs Arctis 7P Plus
Anyone (preferably with a ps5) know how these compare with an Arctis Pro? I've had mine since 2019 and was simply curious since other headsets I've bought in the past dont seem to provide enough volume or even bass. Thank you for the feedback.
Hi halfway through the video and enjoying it so far plus I’ve just subscribed, can I ask have you tried any of these headsets with sifu the game that released in February
@Picsleated
Bro how's the 3d sound in 7P while playing games? Does arctis 7p produces the same tempest 3d sound like pulse 3d headset?
Because I am thinking to buy a headset with 3d audio
recommend one :)
What do you think is better in your opinion arctis 7p or Astro a50 for ps5
I haven't tried the a50 but for how much they cost the a50 better be better haha
The astro A50 are better.
See that the name of presets have changed to ‘Smiley etc’
What preset name for Warzone please.
Good review 👍🏻
Does this Arctis 7P+ model have the Surround 7.1 option?
Witch one would you choose the 7p or the Astro A50
The guts are exactly the same in terms of sound quality between 7p-7p+
Great review! I have the 7p, can you save more than one profile and change it without having a pc? On the fly? Keep up the great work 😃
as far as I know the only way to do it is through PC atm. here's to hoping they release an app that let's you do it on the fly!
@@picsoleated thanks for the fast reply. Let's hope they do it asap 🙂
also one more question if i may, to fine tune the settings,can I take ou the dongle without turning off the PS5, or is it risky to do it while it's on?
What had the best sidetone
Could you post your audio tuning settings for your gaming? Thx
I like the battery life but it doesnt have the dynamic compression the arctis 7 had on the software. the sound is op! these headsets are really hurting my ear drums. I have been using my arctis 7 on my ps5 and plan on returning my 7p+
Is 7 better than 7p+?
Hi, I just bought some 7ps and I’ve noticed that they are significantly quiet. When playing games like Rainbow 6 where I need to hear footsteps and movement, I’m not able to hear pretty much anything but myself. I’ve messed with the eq and my volume settings but nothing has worked. Any suggestions?
Same here! I recently got mine and I play R6 as well on the PS5 and noticed even though the volume was on max, the sound was significantly lower than my previous headsets. Also noticed how some of the EQ settings are different from the 7P.
Did you max out both PS5 volume setting and headset volume? i just got the 7Ps also and its loud enough.
Same for me. My PS5 volume is set to max, and the SteelSeries companion app does not allow you to increase it
@@LiveinSeattle I never got around to fixing the issue. I returned the headset to Amazon and I bought the 7p+ off of best buy hoping they wouldn’t be faulty. Surely enough they worked perfectly with the eq settings and I still use them today. Best headset I’ve ever owned
@@LuvJozii do you have them at max volume?
Is the arctics 7p still better than the pulse 3d ? Bc they got adjustable eq settings on the ps5 itself since 1 or 2 months or so. My question is are the 7p still better than the Sony ones even with the "new" eq settings on the pulse ? :) PS, Oh and I almost forgot to say nice Review dude ;)
more on that on my pulse 3d review :) but in short, the pulse 3d EQ settings definitely shrink the gap between the two audio performance-wise, but it's still difficult to beat better hardware even with good software
I had a pulse 3d but the leather on the ear cups keeps coming off and that’s my second one, I guess I’m just gonna go for this!!
have you had a chance to check out the new Sonar settings available on the steelseries executable? compatible with the 7Ps as far as can tell. has a specific Fortnite setting which is all im playing atm. cant find anyone that has done a good review for it yet. it allows you to keep your original 7P equaliser settings then add the new Sonar effects. finding it confusing :D please help
Yeah I've tried using them, I believe those only work while the headset is connected to your computer and the settings don't transfer over if you're trying to use the headset on your PS5. I could be wrong though
The game chat mixer is a big reason I'm probably going to stick with the Pulse 3D.
I have not watched the whole video yet but are you saying there is no chatmix?
@@steelfan187 Theres no volume wheel that adjust the chat mix between party audio and game audio.
@@ITzCHAMPz that's a deal buster for me thank you for the reply
Hey just wondering if i had both the 7P+ and the Pro wireless which one would be better for the Ps5?
Hi there I was going to get the turtle beach 700 gen 2 after seeing few videos of the 7p and 7p+ so far the steel series are good for all rounder esp if I'm playing call of duty what would be worth to buy the 7p or 7p+ as I can't make up my mind.
Can’t believe they didn’t fix the type C connector that plugs in front of the console it’s obstructing the USB charger connector 🤦🏻♂️
Which one is good for Xbox series x and ps5?
Hey do u have any settings ? Or can you make a tutorial like you did it at the 7p? Because at the 7p+ i dont have the presets immansion and performance.
Can you not change the volume for the mic on the headset? If not how will I be able to adjust the volume for it
You can change the mic volume via PS5s mic menu
I just want something other than the pulse that has a working on ear game chat mix. Please.
You and me both, friend. Unfortunately Pulse is the only headseat with a working game chat mixer so far for PS5
i only have the Artis 7 wireless heaset , works good , so dont think i will be upgrading anytime soon unless i want type c charging
tnx for ur video
both of 7p+ and 7p support 3d sound on ps5?
What's the difference between the 7p+ and the 7+. They both have 30hr battery life and support USB C.
@Timo Oskam I have them now and the difference is that they support 7.1 virtual surround sound on pc
the 7 supports 7.1 surround sound while the 7P is designed to be optimized for 3d Audio, taking advantage of PS5's 3d Tempest engine. It is possible however that both can take advantage of the Tempest engine since it's designed to be applied to most if not all headphones
@@picsoleated Thanks
witch better sound on ps5 arctis 9 or 7p has difrent sound on them...?! i love arctis 9 becouse has bluetooth
Is it possible to stream from OBS with this headset??? Using PS5 and remote play???
hope it’s on sale on Black Friday
Hoping you find a deal! 🙏
The standard 7p is on discount. I’m from the uk so the 7p is reduced from £175 to £116.99.
But I wanted the 7p+ so got it instead. Wanted those extra few features it has. My 7p+ arrives tomorrow.
Is the normal arctic 7 still viable? Or would you have to get the 7p
I bought the normal 7 on black Friday sale from amazon. From what I can see the battery improvement is the main thing between the 7 / 7p / 7p+
Is it’s a removable battery for these or is it like the 7p
How about beats solo 3 they seem to work great I use the wire but I could buy a usb dongle to go wireless. Have you tried those??
I have not tried that as they are not gaming focused headphones, although you definitely can do that
@@picsoleated ya I know they aren’t game focused. But I have to say they are focused and work great. I tried ghost of tushima and sounded great. I seem to hear footsteps in cod that my friend who uses the a50..?? I think they called. Being beats I would figure they would have the drivers and subs to fully support the 3d sound. No headphones are truly surround sound anyway. Because that takes 7 separate speakers located and one sub (7.1). Correct..? But yes the beats work GREAT if you own them no need to buy headset.
When will they be releasing steel series arctis 7X+ for those with both current gen consoles? 🎧🤔
Hey nice video bro. I’ve watched like 4 already, I just bought de 7p+ ones n I can hear my own voice all the time! It’s literally a playback of me n I don’t know if that’s normal or not! If not how you take it off?!!
Mute your mic, or you have a wheel on one cup Called “Sidetone” you can turn it down.
You hearing your voice is a feature called “sidetone” it’s very useful for people that speak in Discord or Group Chat so you can hear yourself. Some people like to hear themselves (like me).
Other than aesthetics, is there any difference between the 7P plus and the 7+?
I think the difference is the 7+ support 7.1 virtual surround sound and the 7p+ support 3d tempest on the ps5. I know because I have the 7+. I asked customer support and they told me they both support 3d audio.
@@frozengamer3030 both support 3r audio in ps5 right?
@@itsphillgood I spoke to steelseries and they told it does
@@frozengamer3030 Tempest is binaural 3D so it works on any headphones. Some may give better results with tempest than others in rare cases.
I have a question, can you charge the arctis 7p+ with the Ps5 controller charging wire since they are both usb c?
There is also 7+ now. What is the difference?
This video is about the 7P+ I would assume the 7+ also has similar minor updates like including the USB C port
Is this better than the hyperx cloud 2 wireless?
Does the usb a to usb c adaptor have any negative effect on the quality of the sound ? Because I would like to connect it in the back of the PS5.
no it doesn't. sounds the same both ways
How are these compared to the Astro A40 with the mix amp?
Hi I recently got the 7p + and when I was going into the eq settings I noticed that they have different presets to the old 7p And I was wondering does anyone know the differences between each new eq preset on the 7p + .
compatible with sonar?
When I don't have the headset turned on all audio output is still going to the headset only and not my TV speakers. I have to use the headset to hear games/chats whatever. Is that normal? Aren't these like other headsets in terms of when you turn them on the audio defaults to the headset only and when off it defaults to the TV only?
That's a setting in your PS5 where you need to allow it to automatically change audio sources
