Just got this headset because of your review. Have had it for a week. All Elden Ring gameplay. After playing, I would stay in the headset to watch a flick and unwind. These NEVER left pressure pain or head pangs. I have a larger head and large ears and these have been great. Sound has been immersive. The ONLY complaint I have is the build of the dial seems a bit on the cheaper side, but it’s simple, and that matters. Came back to leave this comment and listening to your video on the headset, so Bluetooth is I’m working well and the content sounds good.
Okay so i decided to write this comment to help anybody confused on the differences between the 7p (playstation version), 7x (xbox version ) n the regular 7 (pc version). So from what i’ve read across all the comments on the video is that the 7 works for all , the 7x apparently works on all 3 also , and the 7p only works on playstation and pc . The 7p has the mic monitoring or sidetone wheel , now that same wheel on the 7 n 7x versions works instead as a voice chat / game audio wheel , although apparently even if you were to get the 7 version and use it on playstation , the wheel would just do nothing instead of working as a chat/game audio wheel . This is just based off the comments on the video , but hopefully i been able to clear up confusion.
Thanks Picsoleated, never knew I could adjust the headbands that way 4:44. No creaking for me
I just bought these you couldn't have dropped this video at a better time brotha 👏🏾🔥
Enjoy them! Great gaming headset for sure
Does your sidetone work after the update?
Thank you for the review! 😊
I’m curious to know what is the white box under ur screen?
I've had these headsets for a month and a half now and didn't even know that the fit can further be adjusted by sliding the earcups in and out of the headbands. Huge thanks for mentioning that in this video. Will try that out once I get time off work. Cheers 🙏🏾
Does your sidetone work after the update?
@@SoxXxOwnsU oh there's an update? Let me update and drop u a follow up.
@@gamernaut7662 I bought mine in June, the update back then nuked the sidetone. I had to buy a new pair and never updated it since. Is the sidetone working now for you? Can you hear yourself talking loudly?
Thanks
@@SoxXxOwnsU Hi, I had completed the latest update on my Arctis Nova 7P, and side-tone still works as fine as ever. I made a very short video about this on my channel, feel free to watch.

Your content is so good bro
@picsoleated what are the best eq settings for fps games? Can you please make a video like you did for the arctis 7p and 7p+?
I recently got this headset but when I started to play around with equalizer presets in GG Engine I am actually not sure what's the difference between 'smiley' and focus presets. So games like uncharted, God of war, or Spiderman should I use 'smiley' preset? and for Call of duty and other fps should I use focus? And follow up to my previous question is there standard custom equalizer settings that I can implement for all types of games? much appreciate if you could reach me back with any info.thx
Man I like your videos and all the good things you do , could please help me on which gaming headset will you recommend for PS5/FPS games, my budget is between $170-$250, thanks in advance.
Currently on a PS5 running the astro A40 with mixamp. I need to use an adapter but gives me a Black screen. Worth upgrading??? Thanks
Hi! dude, this Nova 7p or Turtle Beach Stealth 700 gen 2? which one do you recommend and why?
Do these have to be programmed to allow surround like my Arctis 7 on Playstation?
What are the best EQ Settings for the Artcis Nova 7P?
Will be buying these next month 🙏🏾
i’ve literally been searching up mic to buy.. was gonna do the astro a40 til i came across this wireless one. this seems to be the one hope it all goes well for my ps5!
Would you recommend these ones or the Sony inzone 7H? Both at the same price
Hi so what is the best headphones for the ps5 to play warzone 2? Thanks in advance
Do they sound just as good plugged into ps5 controller? Also are they good for big ears and are the earpads changeable? Thanks mste
I am upgrading from the Arctis 7. How good are they for music?
So I have been trying to get the mic to work but it always seems to be tied to my controller mic but the in game sounds are coming from my headset. Long story my voice only seems to be picked up by the controller mic
I have Astro a40 mixamp but I don’t really like how “complicated” the setup is I guess
I would prefer something more simple to setup
Are these worth it ?
just got this. any recomendation for immersion eq settings?
I would like to know what is the best EQ presets for these headphones?
Is the headband area where you slide plastic or metal? That's a big one for me I break plastics
This one or the arctis 7p+ without nova for hearing footsteps in warzone 2.0 at ps5?
Does it make a difference whether or not you use the type c to the ps5 or through the adapter cable does it change the audio at all
How can I fix it for party chat? There’s an echo and it the voices in the party chat glitches out.
Which one do you recommend for CoD, nova 7p or arctis 7p+ ?
Can you pair them to a tv (Lg C1) via bluetooth, for movies and stuff? Thanks
Looking to buy a new headset and i currently have the Razor Nari for my ps5 but they are pretty old. Would you recommend this headset of the Nari??
yes. they are so much lighter compared to the nari
My 7P+ is lovely, as I am only partly on my PS5 (I play on xbox also, steelseries 9x). This is good to know about, if my 7P+ fails.
Definitely still a great sounding headset
I recently bought the headset and was able to adjust the headset per sonar on the PC. But when I'm connected to the Ps5 and change the eq settings on the gamedac, the sound doesn't seem to change at all. Do I have to consider or adjust a setting in the Ps5? Do the eq changes need to be made on the pc for the ps5? Does the headset itself have to be connected to the cable for the changes to take effect?
The EQ changes need to be made on PC while the dongle is connected to PC, then you unplug the dongle and plug it into your PS5 and those settings carry over. I don't think a separately purchased gameDAC will allow all features for this headset
I'm more compelled to buy a product from this brand! My brother plays League with Steelseries headset and he says the fabric padding is so comfortable to wear, despite the sound leak. He'd rather sacrifice that leak since he doesn't experience headaches, nor does the ear padding become sticky during prolong usage.
All the high end studio headsets I owned with pleather ear padding, started to deteriorate after a couple years, so every use for at least 30-45min, the residual broken pieces from the leather padding get stuck around my ears where the headset cupped. I always had to rinse my head right after, it is a PAIN to use! I was considering in buying an extra accessory like a headband that covers my ears.
Yes, I love fabric earcups over leather, and SS uses a great sportsweave type of fabric that feels great on ear
These headphones or the hyperx cloud alpha wireless ?
The sound is cool I like the dual Bluetooth and Adapter connection at the same time so I can connect to my phone while playing my ps5 but the mic is horrible I made sure to update to the latest firmware but I still pick up white noise and everyone in the game chat mentions how bad my mic sounds I even replaced them and still the same issue also it’s not the best feeling for my ears.
Can you adjust game chat with these?
LOVE THE VODEO QUALITY BRO!!!
I appreciate it, thank you!
EQ Settings for this Headset would be an awesome Video. Hopefully you will do so.
Hey quick question, can you use this headset on ios with just Bluetooth or you have to use the dongle somehow as well?
It can connect to iOS via bluetooth no problem.
I got the headset and I’m hearing something static/fuzzy noise in it does anyone know how to fix it ? Every time I scroll across the ps5 menu you can hear this buzz noise
These or Astro a50’s for Warzone ps5? Can someone help me pick between the 2??
Hey can you review the new Sony inzone h7/H9 and compare it with the nova 7P
Hello, I have a question. I play on PS5 and I'm needing to get a new headset as my old one (Hyperx Cloud Flights) is getting a bit worn out but I still love them as I've had them since they came out and like how they sound. Anyways for Christmas my mom got me the Razer kaira pros and I really didn't like how they sounded as they sounded so muffled and too bassy, I couldn't pick out footsteps in any game and every game sounded unclear, no matter what PS5 sound or EQ settings I tried. So, I then returned them for the Hyperx Cloud 2 Wireless since I liked the Flights so much but, unfortunately those kind of sounded the same (even trying every setting) and were kinda uncomfortable for me. In all do you think these sound better than those two headsets I had and would they be a good upgrade going from Cloud Flights? Sorry for the long question and thank you for the great review.
Get the Steelseries Nova 7p, they are way better in general and have more features
@Krystofer Abit late but thanks for the reply😁. Yeah, I got the Nova 7P's about a month ago and love them.
@@Jkru77
Does the mute button on the DS controller work with the Nova 7P, or do you have to push the button on the headset to mute it?
Hello picsoleated, I need your help, I want to buy a headset for the ps5. I have seen you videos and my choice is between the 7p+ or this one(the nova) for the ps5 witch one do you think is better? Sound is for me the key point! I hope to see a reaction from you😄 greetings from holland
Go for the Nova 7p
I want to upgrade my Logitech g933 to a new headset I wonder to choose between nova7p and astro a50 and Sony h9 sound quality is more important for me can someone help me🙏🏻 and nova pro is to expensive in my country.
Could you give me the best eq settings for warzone ps5 please not sonar settings
Thank you for the great information. Can the headset be adjusted between game volume and chat?
it cant only headsets from sony/ps can have the adjustment between game volume and chat.
@@bb3dr I just bought the headset and it actually can.
@@cuguam good to hear! Because I searched everywhere even steelseries said that it doesn’t support it yet on the ps5, but if it works now I’ll really consider it thanks!
So just noticed that when I use BT to my mobile for discord my in game mic does not work. Very disappointed.
Great review and I picked them up and It was amazing,btw you plan on making a best EQ for this headset? Or which one have you been using atm? Hopefully you can reply back and stay well goat 💙🤗
m.ua-cam.com/video/EXVthQqcX0Y/v-deo.html
Can you do a video on what EQ settings to use for different game types? Or what you prefer?
m.ua-cam.com/video/EXVthQqcX0Y/v-deo.html
Agreed
The smiley preset is really good for most games
I’d recommend searching up the frequency response for the specific headset and use the graph to analyze hills and valleys of the response. That way you can adjust the eq with better understanding of what sound signature the headsets already have and not distort the audio quality. You could also look up sound settings of each game as well and check the response as well and use both graphs (headset + game frequency responses) and tweak the eq to work best for what you need.
Do i need a pc for this
He man, nice review. One question: does the mute button on the dual sense mute the headset? Thanks
yes
It doesn't
Yes it works
Do you think it works to watch movies on tv via Bluetooth?
Very tempted to pick these up, sounds from the review that these are a better proposition over the arctis 7p+ that I'm also considering.
Did you end up picking eaither up?
I'm battling between thr 7P+ and the Nova 7p
@@Henlak- I went with the Arctis nova 7p and they've been an excellent matchup with my ps5.
@Davedub1023 Alright perfect, gonna order them now, thanks!
@@Davedub1023 hows the mic been so far? I've seen some comments saying that it picks up a lot of background noise
@@Josh-si6ds I've not had any comment from friends during play, other than that I can't really say tbh
What about the artic 9s by steel series?
Is anyone getting this buzzing/hissing noise in them ?? It’s so annoying when playing UA-cam and scrolling through the ps5 menu how do you fix it ??
Just got these for Christmas. But I am having issues with background noise etc. any advice how to fix this?
increase the noise gate in the audio settings of whatever game you're playing
If I got the nova 7 can I still use it for ps5?
Is there a difference between the Nova 7 and the Nova 7p exept the blue ribbon?
Basically the same but 7p is intended for ps5 basically and has the color for it I believe
Hello, love your videos, but i have problem to choose between nova 7p and turtle beach 700 gen 2 max, i play on ps5 right now mw2 all day. I need to hear those footsteps and mic monitoring to hear myself, but I don't want to lose good base also. Pls help me
the Nova 7p all day between those two for PS5
@@picsoleated hello again, after i bought those headsets, I didn't like how loose they are and sound is kinda leaking as my ear cannot fully go inside the hole. Also i could hear some mic background sound always, even party members says they hear some background noise before and after i talk, like the sensitivity of thr mic is very high. And you cannot di anything in GG cuz it has very few options... So sad cuz i wanted to lile this headsets, but i can't.
Can you save your own EQ profile to use on the PS5? How many profiles can you save? can you change profiles on the headset or need to plug on the PC to change profiles?
You can only save one EQ profile at a time and it can be used on the ps5. You need to plug it into a computer if you wanted to adjust the EQ profile
@@cachesinthecomments997 thank you... that is very unfortunate hey... i was about to order. Glad i didnt.
How are they for big ears?
I have the arctic pro wireless ones got em when I had a ps4 and they still work great on my ps5 but I’m trying to see if I wanna upgrade to an actual ps5 headset
There are good for war zone ?
I bought the nova pro wireless and experience extreme discomfort due to their ear cups, anyone know if these are more comfy? The difference of the no anc nub + mesh ear c ups seem like its perfect.
Depends what's causing the discomfort? Is it the material or is it the shape of the ear cups? If it's the shape then not much has changed but the fabric ear cups I do find them more comfortable than the leather
@@picsoleated it was definitely the material mixed with the anc nub. The material on the pro wireless was not glasses friendly combined with the clamping force.
Get the Wicked Cusions aftermarket pads, problem solved.
@@TheSMSpider look into wicked cushions, they are now selling replacement ear cups. which answer the fabric and anc issue.
Try the wicked cups, heard they help
What keyboard is that ????
I’m trying to use it on the ps5 and the chat doesn’t work. I can hear the game, I can hear myself, but no one can hear me. Do you know anything about it? I keep trying to re pair it and it doesn’t work.
try unmuting the headset in the system as well as on the headset. sometimes the headset isn't mute but the mic is mute in ps5s mic setting
Whats the best EQ settings for the Headset? Asking for PS5 😊
Please FPS (cod)
I heard that the ear cushions are a few mm deeper than those of Arctis 7P+, is that true? Can you measure that? When they're deeper, I'll get them directly.
From a different review I saw I think the nova is 23 mm deep while the 7p+ is 20 mm deep
You're right, I saw it too. I think our good old Couze was that with the test. I ordered them and they are deeper. What would of course round off the whole thing would be a bit more pleasant thicker fabric inside, because it is much too thin. Otherwise, just a great headset.
Can you turn off the mic monitoring? Nothing I hate more then being able to hear myself. And do we have to come Stanley keep the mic muted if it’s not out of the holder? Gets a horrible screeching sound.
My friends hear their own voice since I started using my steelseries nova 7p. How can i fix it? I already lowered the microphone volume and the general volume but I have no solution.
When they talk, I have to turn off my microphone so they don't hear themselves.
If I don't turn off my microphone, my name appears on the screen as if I were speaking, but it is the echo of their own voices.
Sounds like it’s bleed through from the ear cups. Mine does this too on the 7P for PS5 party chat. You have to lower the standard microphone volume in PS5 and try and keep your volume low as possible
You got a new sub after that "pull out game is still strong" joke hahaha
So I made the mistake and just got the nova 7x, not realizing there was a 7p until now. Is it worth it to send these back for the 7p?
Not at all,they are the same,the 7x is just made to be used everywhere while the 7p is just for the PS branding and wont work on Xbox only
I just picked up the 7P+ a few days ago. Is the sound quality noticeably better on the Nova 7P for me to return my 7P+ and pay $33 more for the Nova 7P, in your opinion?
I have this same question!
In terms of comfort they are similar but the mic and battery life is a good bit better on the Nova 7
Did you end up deciding?
@@tinocabral4201 I did end up trying both in-hand, and ended up going with the 7P+. To me, the 2 are exactly the same in terms of sound quality, and the extra $33 was not worth it for me for just the Bluetooth/phone feature (as I would never use this personally) and the few extra hours of battery life. I actually like the fit of the 7P+ more, it has a softer and more cushiony feel, and fits a bit more snug, which I prefer. Hope that helps.
@@Tonngu403personally I did find this one a bit better than 7p+ but both are excellent indeed
can u use it for pc too
What is the difference between this to the nova 7 version of this headset from the p
The 7p is just saying that it's playstation just like the 7x its xbox but you can still use it on all platforms
I noticed the PC (Nova 7) and Xbox (Nova 7X) versions have chat volume vs the mic monitoring wheel. I have a PS5, I wonder if it would be better to get the Nova 7 or 7X for that feature vs the mic monitoring scroll wheel on the Nova 7P? I think the other versions still work on the PS5 or am I wrong?
Chat volume don't work on ps5 with 7x, so only 7p with mic monitoring. Different scroll wheel. But 7x has also mic monitorin you can change it in software, 7x is better is you have also a xbox.
@@BumbleBeeBiH Thanks bro 👍
Do they have mic monitoring on ps5?
@@TheAstraeuss I went with the 7p cause I won’t be using it on a Xbox console so why have a wheel that does nothing on PS5?

I tried out the arctis nova pro wired and they sound like garbage even after trying to eq them. The Nova 7's on the otherhand sound really good and have more bass and I feel like I can hear more details than I could on the pros.
This one or Razer Kaira pro? Im looking for a headset for ps5 and tv…
I had the kaira pro actually 2 sets returned both because the battery life is horrible. Kaira pro ps5 has the haptic feedback and rgb but with it enabled on the lowests settings you get maybe 3 hrs battery life.The sound is amazing but I ordered the steelseries hopefully the sound quality matches the kaira pros bass and clarity woth better battery life, holding thumbs
I’m currently playing ps5 can you tell me what’s better ( steelseries arctis nova 7P or hyperx cloud 2 wireless or hyperx cloud alpha wirless ) ?
i had issues with the hyperx cloud 2 wireless. the microphone just didn't pick up my voice and would cut out whenever it did. this may not be an issue for everyone but I bought a replacement and it did the exact same thing. returning both tomorrow (the headset is great apart from the mic)
Which is louder in volume this one or the pulse 3d when plugged on the ps5
These are louder
@@picsoleated i see one last que which is louder pulse 3D or the 7p+ and if you had to choose between 7p+ or the nova which would you go for im about to buy 7p+ or the nova so your reply would really help thanks and more power to your channel im a big fan bro 👊👊
has anyone tried plugging these into the usb of their TV to see if it works?
how do I make it to where i dont hear myself when I talk with the mic
Go to audio mic test and lower it until you can't hear yourself
Can you game chat without pulling out the microphone(leaving the microphone retracted inside headset)?
Yes you can, I've tried that, however my gaming buddy on the other end mentioned I sound rather muted, so its best to pull the mic out and keep it somewhere closer to your mouth.
@@gamernaut7662 thanks!
Hello, difference between 7p+ and the nova 7p? Which one should I go for? Thank you!
7P+ has usb c charging, that's the main difference. so it depends if you're willing to save a few bucks getting the 7P or if you need usb c charging
Go for the Nova 7p
@@picsoleated the Arctis 7P vs the Arctis 7P+ the difference is USB-C but the new Nova 7P is a bit better.
@@JuanJohn013 I’m torn between the 7p+ and the novas cuz other than the Bluetooth everyone’s saying different things about the comfort
does anyone also get a very high pitched whistle or beep instantly and continously when both dials are turned all the way up?
@Specter not any platform just when u turn it on and turn both dials all the way up and the mic is still retracted inside the headphones. As soon as pull the kic a little bit out the whistle stops but then comes back when I put it back
Feedback is happening when side tone is all the way up and mic retracted. Have side tone turned down before turning on or have mic extended.
Can i charge something else while the adapters plugged in?
Yes since u get extra cables so u can plug the adapter in the backside of the ps5 and the front is clear and available
Just got these today and tweaked a few things on my PC with it. Atmos is incredible, bass is WTF level, and mic is almost podcast quality.
Moving the PS5 after setting it up.
Bass is WTFLYINGF!!! Some tweaking fixes that. It’s still a damned good buy. After losing my previous set of Arctis 7P+ to a bad match of CoD these came in and said hold my beer.
Oh… And they are white now.
So these are 7p ? Not 7p+ ?
Based on just sound quality, is this better than the Audeze Penrose?
Many thanks in advance
To be fair audio quality wise it's hard to beat the audeze penrose, but it's also way more expensive. If money's not an issue and you're willing to deal with the much shorter battery life of the penrose, then that's the best option.
@@picsoleated Awesome! Thanks for the response and excellent video as usual.
I have a Penrose X that I paid retail price for and a Penrose (PS5) that I got off ebay brand new for 120.
Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless or Nova 7? The Pro has a much higher selling price but is it Better for the PS5
If you're price concious you'll get an amazing experience with the 7P as well, but the Pro wireless def has a nice featureset that adds to the experience, sound quality-wise might be slight improvement over the 7p
@Picsoleated thank you my friend. All the best to you and continuous success!!
I have PS5 but I got the Arctis Nova 7 not the 7P. Should I return them and get the 7P or does it not matter?
7, 7P and 7X are the same basically. The difference is that they have different color
@@AtoniXx 7x works for all consoles including all Xbox consoles. 7 and 7P does not

I'm a PS5 - only gamer and really most concerned with the best 3d soundscape for story games and positioning for FPS. Would you recommend these over the 7P+ or should I save that $30.
Thanks, appreciate ya!
This is not a reply but I basically have the same question. Nova 7p or Arctis 7p+?
I found this helpful ua-cam.com/video/NnWTH-mH5y0/v-deo.html . Steelseries has a footnote on the Nova 7P product page "Fully compatible with Tempest 3D Audio for PS5 / Microsoft Spatial Sound". Hope that helps.
I have the 7p+ using them on PS5 and to me they are literally perfect in every way imaginable.
I was told to get 7x cause they can be used across platform where 7p no xbox. Kinda stupid what they did, i think the only difference is the blue band.
