DO NOT BUY THESE

Reviewed in Australia on 16 January 2019

Colour: WhiteStyle: Arctis 7Verified Purchase

Got this headset while on sale and I now see why they have to put them on sale to sell them.
Mic doesn't work very well at all and people can't hear you without turning you up 20+ on TS or discord.
Distortion in the speakers even at lower volumes and I have only had the headset a month.

Trying to get RMA but SteelSeries are making it so hard that I may just save time and money by buying another headset from a competitor. NEVER buying from SteelSeries again. First and LAST time

Great sound. Comfortable. But not without issues.

Reviewed in Australia on 22 April 2019

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 7Verified Purchase

This headset looks great and has a lot of "features". The sound is very good with no lag. My only gripe would be that the max volume on these is not very loud and would be what I would call "medium". there doesn't seem to be a way to increase the volume at all past this "max" setting.

The microphone is somewhat problematic for me and I have real trouble getting it to work consistently. When it works it is great. I use a noise gate with discord and discord has a very hard time outputting sound to the headphones. Most times I just use my streaming, stand-alone mic and I concede that the issue may be with my setup and not the headset itself. If this was your only microphone input then it would possibly not be an issue. It does not play nice with multiple mics however. The wireless signal also is quite strong and I have been up to 10m away from the transmitter before the connection starts to de-sync. Which is great. Overall I am happy with the purchase and quality of this headset. Worth considering in the $190 range.

Does everything right

Reviewed in Australia on 3 February 2019

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 7Verified Purchase

I've had these for a month, primarily to play Overwatch and Destiny 2 on PC. The setup was easy: plug the receiver into a USB port, turn on the headphones and BEEP they worked instantly. Discord immediately switched to the new device and Overwatch used the new headphones immediately. I was expecting to have to fiddle with drivers and installs and device management, but that never happened. They are comfortable, and not as hot as my last headset in Australian summer - the soft fabric material is perfect. My friends say that the voice is crystal clear. The audio is correctly balanced for games and I see no need to adjust EQ. The ability to specifically mute the incoming voice channel works great with Discord. The volume and mute button are intuitive. As for range I'm able to go downstairs to the fridge and back without loss. I haven't purchased anything this perfect right out of the box in a while. Comes with all the necessary cables including a audio/mic line splitter in case you can't use USB. Just buy them you won't be disappointed.

Great for price but sound is not mind blowing.

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 7Verified Purchase

Great headset for me personally. It ticks most boxes.

Comfortable.✔
Sound is decent.✔
Great wireless range.✔
long battery life.✔

The only gripe i have is the 7.1 channel is just marketing although they simulate surround sound well they are not 7.1 and the actual sound quality is far from the likes of high end headsets from the likes of Bose which are more music and studio orientated. For the my needs they are great.

recommended for medium gaming use.

Good overall, cables could be improved

Reviewed in Australia on 24 December 2020

Colour: WhiteStyle: Arctis 3Verified Purchase

Decent sound quality and microphone quality. Very comfortable. Has mute and volume controls on the back, could be more conveniently locaeted on the cable.

The cable comes in 2 parts: one has a proprietary connector into the headphones and standard TRRS plug, the second has the TRRS socket to the 2 TRS plugs for devices with separate speaker and microphone. I wish the first was longer and the second was shorter. When plugging into a combined socket device (eg. plugging in to my laptop on the coffee table while I'm on the couch) it can be a bit short. When plugged into a split socket device (eg. my gaming PC under my desk) it is ridiculously long. There is the connection in the middle of the cable and I need to make sure the cable doesn't get caught in my chair.

Also loses points for having a non-standard connector. They have engineered a modular cable which is great in theory as you can replace a broken cable. But the connector is non-standard so could be hard to find.

Fairly nice for the price

Reviewed in Australia on 15 December 2018

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 3Verified Purchase

Ok so I decided to try one of these to see if they were as good as reviews say they are and I have to say they’re mostly right.
I’ve been using an old, but still really good, set of Bose QC15s to play games with on Xbox One. They sound really good using windows sonic audio.
The Arctis 3s support the signal too and I was surprised that for such an entry level set of headphones, they perform quite well. The overall sound quality and how they handle game audio is nice but not great. The Bose have a nice broad soundspace but the Arctis 3 lack treble that you can pick up with the Bose. Bass is nice and punchy and voices and sound effects are clear.

Fit is quite nice too. I was a bit worried when I found out the headset earcups can’t actually be pulled to fit different height heads, but the ski band was stretchy enough to give me a nice overall fitmemt. The earcups are soft and they can get warmish after a while but nothing uncomfortable. The earcups are a bit loose/not tight enough on my ears so there’s a lot of noise bleed both going from and into the headset. The build quality is very plastic and hollow but I don’t mind as they were $78 and they’re not in the premium range.

Overall I actually recommend them. Sound quality is nice, which is my number 1 buying factor for headphones.

Crappy product and customer service

Reviewed in the United States on 16 October 2018

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 7Verified Purchase

So I purchased this just weeks ago and I was so excited because this was my first foray into wireless headsets. Furthermore, I did my research and was deciding between Razer, Steelseries and Logitech. Most review websites were raving about the superior sound quality of the Steelseries Arctis 7.

Well guess what? The sound is crap. Fresh out the box, I updated the Steelseries Engine 3 software and patched the headset, but the soundstage in my ears was skewed around 30 degrees to the left. That means that everything I hear in my ears seems to be coming from the left. Sometimes, there was nothing to the right. Whether I was listening to music or playing games, the sound was skewed to the left. I tried tweaking different settings in the Engine 3 but to no avail.

So I did what any logical person would do -- I contacted the Steelseris customer service on 30 September 2018. Every reply from them takes around 2 - 3 working days. Slow responses notwithstanding, the customer service representative did not seem to know why the issue was happening. He only suggested 2 options.

Firstly, he told me to reset the hardware via a magical button hidden in the left earcup. I had to peel off the cushioning, find one of those iPhone pins, and then hold the button for a certain amount of time, at which point the headset should reset. There is no indication anywhere so I had to just hope it worked. (It works when you realise you have to re-pair the headset to the USB receiver that came with it.) After re-pairing with the receiver, the issue was improved by maybe 5 degrees but the soundstage was still skewed to the left. The issue becomes more apparent at lower volumes.

The customer service rep's next solution was to go straight to the RMA process. After asking me to send in my receipt, they agreed to RMA the product conditionally if I send in evidence (screenshot) of the destroyed product - i.e. breaking off the left earcup and showing the serial number.

Which I did on 14 October.

It's 16 October and my reply from them was that my RMA is declined -- with NO EXPLANATION WHATSOEVER WHY.

So basically, let's recap -- Steelseries sold me a product that has some weird issue, took 2 weeks to correspond with me, agreed to RMA my purchase, and then after I had destroyed it, proceeded to screw me over and tell me the RMA is rejected.

Take this as a lesson learnt -- DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. WONKY. FAULTY. PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE. AND WILL ABSOLUTELY SCREW YOU OVER FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

A LIFE-CHANGER for cube monkeys everywhere

Reviewed in Canada on 31 January 2019

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 7Verified Purchase

The ability to mix chat audio with regular audio using a physical dial on the headset is phenomenal. If you've ever been on a crazy boring t-con, this headset will change your life. You can mix the most life-draining phone call with epic background music. Soul-sucking meetings will cease to drain your life-force. People you wish were dead will become tolerable. It's that good.

The quality of the wireless mic is as good as the best wired mics I've heard. Even in an environment dense with devices on 2.4GHz, I get great range.

The quality of the speakers is good, but with some tweaking with PEACE (equalizer) the speakers are EXCELLENT. Do a quick search for Arctis 7 eq curves.

Comfort-wise, the headset is very easy to wear for long periods. My ears get a little warm, but not sweaty.

Battery life is good. I charge it once a week.

Honestly.... there's nothing I can be critical of.

Horrible horrible audio, terrible mic, and not comfortable!

Reviewed in the United States on 27 November 2018

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 7Verified Purchase

Okay, these SHOULD be pretty nice headphones for $150, BUT there are quite a few caveats that put me off of these. I noticed a few other reviews mention these issues. These issues bothered me so much I returned them. Simply NOT worth the price!

First off, I wear headphones 12-18 hours a day, 7 days a week. For work, recreation, and to help me fall asleep. I know headphones, and have a decent collection of a dozen or so.

1) HOLY DISTORTION, BATMAN! Listening to music at volumes any of my other headphones can handle (including the cheap-o $30 bluetooth units), these units produce massive amounts of distortion. I cannot believe how bad these are at volumes over 50%! Give it one tonal range to cover, and it seems to do okay, but toss in two or three (like bass guitar and a high-hat at the same time.... or, ya know, almost all music) and suddenly you can't make out what you're listening to anymore.

2) The volume roller is EXTREMELY easy to accidentally adjust. I mean, unbelievably easy. I am CONSTANTLY messing with the volume when adjusting the headphones or mic, and since it's so loose it's almost impossible to dial in "just the right" volume. Very very annoying!

3) There's no media controls on these. Why? A push-button volume button combination would easily solve the "too easy to adjust" volume, and allow media controls through long presses.

4) The ear pieces are EXTREMELY hot. I wear headphones quite a bit, but these burn my ears up in a matter of minutes, which makes me adjust or remove them temporarily. This also reiterates point #2 in that the volume knob is ALWAYS being adjusted by accident.

5) These block absolutely no out-side sound, and people often can hear what I am listening to or playing. This doesn't make sense since the ear-pads don't seem to allow ANY airflow.

6) The mic disable button turns ON a light........ What? So when your mic is on, there's no light. When you mic is OFF, such as when listening to music, hanging out, whatever, there's BRIGHT RED LED on 100% of the time....... Huh???? How does this make sense?

7) the audio volume is easily 1/3 of every other headphone I own. I crank every setting up to 100% just to be equal to 30% on any other headset... Why?

8) mic is garbage!!!! I can't imagine anyone with any sense of intelligence thinking this mic is anything other than painfully sub par. Everything either sounds tinny, or incredibly digital (like using one of those $5 voice oscillators that make you sound like a robot.

9) while the ear pads do go around your ears, the speaker mesh is too shallow and will contact your ears. This makes it unbearable by itself, but combined with every other issue.....

10) FINALLY the surround sound effect is negligable. Playing the same surround sound tests, I cannot tell a difference between regular 2.0 phones and these. At all. There's also a VERY VERY VERY specific place you HAVE to position these, or you'll only hear about 70% of what it's putting out. Unfortunately the VERY SPECIFIC spot these must be placed is absolutely HORRIBLE. You must bend and fold your ears to position them even remotely correctly.

11) I know I said 10 was the final number, but it brings me to another point. These are so uncomfortable in almost every way. After a short session your jaw will hurt, as the bottoms press right into the hinge of your jaw, your ears will hurt and be sweaty from the complete lack of ventilation (it's like putting your ears in a wool coat in July in Florida -- a swamp!)

From a company that specializes in headphones, these are full of awfully poor design choices! One of the worst overall headsets I've ever owned.

Do not recommend to anyone for any purpose!

Comfort

Reviewed in Canada on 3 November 2018

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 7Verified Purchase

I've been looking at this headset for a long time due to the fact that I really hated the battery life on my 2015 Astro A50s. When they came on sale for $150 I figured, what the heck. After I received them, I really liked the look and feel of them, sound quality is good, the fact that I can listen to music on my phone is also fun, the wireless range is great; but I must say the mic is not as good as my Astro's (or at least so I am told). The listening experience is fun, but I noticed that the ear cushions were not deep enough as my ears were touching the speakers. At first I thought, no big deal, but after 8 hours... OMG get off my head! These are not comfortable for long periods of wear. I can sometimes have my headset on my head for 15 hours straight, but you have another thing coming if you think I will do it with this level of discomfort.

Does this headset deserve a 1 star: No. It's not that bad, but for the money and drawbacks, you can do a lot better; and so I find they are completely not worth your time and money. I hate it when people review a product and say that there is better out there, but then leave it to you to find said product, so I will also say, I bought Razer Naris instead. Wireless range isn't as good, but is very comfortable.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!

Reviewed in Canada on 31 January 2019

Colour: BlackStyle: Arctis 3Verified Purchase

i dont know where to start with this one.... i bought this to replace my hyperx cloud 2 and was looking for something a bit cheaper. when it arrived it seemed fine but after about 10 mins of use i hated it. It HAS ZERO ADJUSTMENT TO IT comes with only one Velcro spot for the band and the sides dont adjust like most do. ear cups are not deep enough so my ear is being highly crushed. and now for my big ones.... the audio is absolute garbage worse sounding than apple earbuds and about as loud as well, the ear cups swivel but its not loud enough to hear off your head so thats useless. THE WIRE IS THEN AND MADE OF LOW QUALITY RUBBER AND LOOKS VERY EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY BREAK. literally the only good thing about these headphones is the built in mic and the feeling of boxing it back up to get a refund
