Sadly the Arctis 7 had no issues and were infinitely better, but SteelSeries replaced them with these. There are some pros like USB-C, but the forced PC software and PC controlled audio (vs the old on-board management) were downgrades. Then after 5-mos I got crackling once in a while along with a loud snap 1-3x a day on the left ear cup. They also freeze up and need a hard reset once every 2mos. I tried some alternatives but unfortunately SteelSeries just has the best quality for the price when it comes to wireless headphones. Just a shame they hit perfection then downgraded their own device with the 7+. **Q: Can anyone help me fix chatmix? The right dial on mine doesn't work.** A: Download the SteelSeries GG application and enable Sonar. It should be fairly straightforward to set that up. For whatever reason they decided you need an app to allow the Chatmix wheel on the headset to work. Very silly imo. However, you'll note with the 7+ specifically, this will break device fallback (when you unplug your headset it will not automatically swap back to your speakers). To resolve this, exit the SteelSeries GG application. Don't minimize it to the system tray, actually completely exit it. **Q: can i listen to gameplay from my computer as well as music from my iphone at the same time?** A: No, but if you play music from your computer you can. **Q: Detachable mic?** A: Yep, completely detachable, mine didn't come with it though ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Replacement For Other Headset Designs *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 December 2024* Pros:- Good build quality (Been using this for over 1.5 years)- Breathable mesh earcups (Prefer these over fake leatherette that always peels)- Fairly seemless dual connection (Phone via Bluetooth + PC via dongle)- Lighter in weight and not as painful to wear compared to HyperXs or Logitech ProsCons:- Not quite as good sound quality as the Logitech Pro X I had before- Not quite as good mic quality as the Logitech Pro Xs either but more than usable- Steelseries software is too fiddly to be use comfortably (Constant switching of modes etc)- Sometimes will have issues if trying to connect to a PC/Mac via bluetooth without resetting/disconnecting a few timesSo I've had this headset for over a year now and can confidently say that coming from the style of headphones like the HyperX Cloud line or the Logitech Pro series that for me this build of headset is far superior. Both of the other brands I've had one or more parts of the headset break from mechanical stress, guessing it's the combination of metal on plastic parts that makes them break eventually.My other favourite thing about the Artis Nova 7s is that there's NO fraying from fake leather headbands or earcups you get with most other 'gaming headsets' as the headband is made from a cloth material and the earcups are a mesh design. I've had multiple gaming headsets where this is the issue and it drives me insane and means I'll always eventually need to buy new earcups/headbands if the headset itself doesn't break first.I'm also quite rough with my hardware usually and I've fallen asleep multiple times over the past year (long distance relationship) and it's stood the test of time even with me rolling onto my side and pressing on them in my sleep and even dropping them onto the floor a few times. My previous headsets couldn't handle that kind of treatment and would always break eventually, plus the fact that you can somewhat fold the ears cups mean that I've taken them with me in my backpack before to work/uni.This being my first wireless headset I don't think I could go back, the fact that I can both be on a Discord call on my PC and also browse my phone or talk to my partner on my phone at the same time is a big quality of life thing for me. My partner's mentioned to me that my Logitech Pro Xs had slightly better mic quality but wasn't that noticeable, I don't use the Steelseries software anymore after not getting along with it but it may have improved since. And as for the sound quality it was also a bit of a downgrade compared to the Logitech's but after over a year of using them I'm confident in saying that they're more than usable as someone that listens to a wide variety of music and whilst not being on the audiophile level of things these headphones sound more than decent compared to past headsets. You may be able to get 'better' sound if you use the softwares EQ settings too.If you're looking for your first wireless gaming headset and for whatever reason need dual connection then I can definitely recommend this. I did consider the wireless Nova Pros but heard they had more teething issues with sound quality and the build quality seemed a bit more questionable at the time I compared the two. I couldn't for the difference in price justify the Nova Pros either and if this pair breaks then I'd happily buy another Nova 7. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happiest middle ground of all the headphones I tried *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 April 2024* I was seeking the perfect headphones to replace my old (very old! Steelseries). I have included other headphones I tried at the bottomI wanted comfort, wireless, good quality and good mic.To summarise, these are quite comfortable, good quality audio, good mic and are EXTREMELY decent wirelessly. No noise or disconnects for me! The dongle itself is very nice.The band to support the ears works well.I love having a mic you can retract.The game / chat wheel is great. I can turn down chat while keeping the game the same!I first tried the Arctis Nova Pro, very expensive. They are worth the price, however for me the active noise cancelling speaker dug into my ear. Very painful. They're probably fine if you have money to burn and normal sized head.Then I tried the Logitech pro X 2. These were basically fine. Removable mic, good quality. Only problem was the speaker sits quite close to the ear, which again is uncomfortable.Then the Razer Blackshark v2 pro.Very good mic, comfortable though I didn't like the foam. Very bad connection for a headset of that price.These headphones beat all of these apart from possibly in the audio quality of the logitech ones and obviously no active noise cancelling.I'd recommend these to anyone. ### ⭐ Overpriced and under-designed *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 August 2026* The only good thing about the Arctis Nova 7 is the box it came in. For a quick review of why it's bad:The software it comes with is terrible, no matter how many ways or times you disable the built-in microphone, it will always prioritise this over any of your desk mic's. Whether you default the other, turn off the software or drivers, Steel Series sonar will overwrite this and make it default, every single time. So if you like disabling it in sound settings every time you need your microphone, this is the pick up for you.The quality is fine, honestly no different to other headset which have cost me half the price in the past, such as the Corsair HS60. I will also add that on default settings it's exceptionally quiet and you will have to use the above, awful software to try and find the correct balance and set every sound booster up.The connectivity is also bad, I find that every time I go near to the range it pops, and bangs in your ears on max volume. Then also half the time if you go out of range, it disconnects and you need to restart your computer, reload the software, get the dongle out of the box and reconnect it.If I was to buy a headset like this again, I would value it at £20-£30 worth of headset. Makes sound and suitable if you don't have any other devices like a microphone.I would strongly advise to avoid this headset at all costs or regret it otherwise. ## Frequently Bought Together - SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming Headset — Neodymium Magnetic Drivers — 2.4GHz + Mixable Bluetooth — 38Hr USB-C Battery — ClearCast Gen2 AI Mic — PC, PS5, Switch, VR, Mobile - Basesailor USB to USB C Adapter for iPhone 16 Charger 2Pack,USBC Female to A Male OTG Type C Converter for Apple Watch Ultra iWatch 7 8 9 10,iPhone 15 14 13 Plus Pro Max,AirPods,iPad,Car,Samsung S24 - Elebase USB to USB C Adapter 4 Pack,USBC Female to A Male Car Charger,Type C Converter for iPhone 16 16e Pro Max,15 14 13 12 Plus,Apple Watch,Airpods,Compatible for Nintendo Switch,Samsung Galaxy S25 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/905094016-steelseries-arctis-nova-7-wireless-multi-platform-gaming-headset-neodymium](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/905094016-steelseries-arctis-nova-7-wireless-multi-platform-gaming-headset-neodymium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-10-27*
