My only complaint is about how the Arctis 7P/7X handles music. Whether it was dealing with colonial gunfire, cheerful anime dialogue or sweeping adventure scores, the Arctis 7P/7X did a great job of balancing voicework and music, with a rich, vibrant soundscape and a good balance between bass and treble. Without going into too much detail about each system, the Arctis 7P/7X’s performance was strong across the board. SteelSeries Arctis 7P (Image credit: SteelSeries) I tested it with a variety of games across a variety of platforms: Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition on the PC, Blasphemous on the Xbox One, Genshin Impact on the PS4, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition on the Switch (both handheld and docked) and Tales of Crestoria on Android. Like its predecessor, the SteelSeries Arctis 7P/7X works beautifully with every game genre. She said it was easy to wear, and more comfortable than the SteelSeries Arctis 1 – her usual go-to. In fact, I handed the headset off to my domestic partner, who used it to watch TV while I was working. Not only is the process effortless, but it’s also incredibly convenient if you share the headset with a spouse or roommate. You can tighten or loosen it slightly with a Velcro strap. You simply put the headset on your head, and the band conforms to the shape of your skull. The SteelSeries Arctis 7P/7X doesn’t have any notches or expandable arms, relying instead on an elastic band for the perfect fit. I’ve discussed the SteelSeries “ski goggles” elastic band design in other Arctis reviews, but it’s worth reiterating here. While there’s nothing fancy about the headset, there’s also nothing garish about it, and it would look perfectly natural out and about. The Arctis 7P/7X weighs about 12 ounces, so it sits very lightly on a user’s head.
Granted, you could always buy your own adapter instead, but I wonder whether SteelSeries could have included a dongle adapter rather than a wire. For the most part, the USB-C-plus-adapter setup works well, although it does create some unsightly trip hazards, depending on where your consoles are situated. This essentially makes it compatible with any platform right out of the box - although the 7P isn’t compatible with any Xbox systems (more on this later). Instead of a USB-A dongle or the Xbox’s built-in wireless protocols, the Arctis 7P/7X relies on a USB-C dongle, with an included USB-A adapter. What sets the Arctis 7P/7X apart from most other gaming headsets is in how it connects.
