So, you can use the 7X with your Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Android device, PC, Nintendo Switch, and even Playstation consoles. The dongle has a unique shape, but that’s because it is also made to snap on to the USB-C port on mobile devices. While it lacks Bluetooth connectivity like the older and more expensive $200 9X, the SteelSeries Arctis 7X is a more universal gaming headset thanks to the wireless dongle. Rotating 90 degrees, the cans can lay flat on your collar bones when not in use, which is always preferred in my opinion.

Over on the right earcup is the power button and the chat mix dial. On the left ear cup is the retractable microphone, micro-USB cable, 3.5mm port, mobile cable jack, volume dial, and a mic mute button. The sizing on the headphones can be adjusted with the strap.

A flexible metal headband keeps the structure while a ski-goggle-like strap rests on your head. Large earcups hold all of the controls around the perimeter of the cans. The overall size and shape of the earcups look identical to the Arctis 9X. Right in line with other headphones in the Arctis lineup, the 7X has a relatively simple overall design. A USB-C dongle makes connectivity to different devices a simple process, and a USB-A adaptor is even included to support devices that aren’t equipped with a USB-C port.Snuggly housed in simple packaging, the Arctis 7X also comes with the USB-C wireless dongle, USB-C to USB-A extension cable, micro-USB charging cable, and a 4-pole 3.5mm audio cable. Though the black and green design lends the Arctis 7X a distinctly Xbox feel, this headset works across all major consoles, PCs and Android phones - all you need is the USB-C integration commonly found across these devices. You could do a lot worse than the SteelSeries Arctis 7X, which was released in August and is one of the most versatile headsets currently on the market, compatible with a range of consoles and gaming PCs.īack in August, the Arctis 7X was released to the UK market at an RRP of £175, but it has recently been slashed to just £140 at both Amazon and Argos just in time for the Boxing Day sales - we’ve done the sums and that’s a healthy saving of 20%! If you were lucky enough to come downstairs to a brand new Xbox Series X or PS5 on Christmas morning, you might want to consider picking up an accompanying headset to get the most out of your gaming experience.
