Overview

Wireless gaming headset

The Xbox edition of SteelSeries' Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 wireless gaming headset, whose dongle also works with PlayStation, PC and Switch, with simultaneous Bluetooth and a retractable boom mic. It keeps the first Arctis Nova 7X Wireless's design, adding longer battery life and phone-app support.

  • Xbox and PlayStation on one dongle

    The USB-C dongle switches between Xbox and USB modes, covering Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PC, Switch and Meta Quest. A USB-A adapter is included for the Xbox's ports.

  • Simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth

    Game audio from the dongle and phone audio over Bluetooth play at the same time, and Bluetooth has its own power button. Starting a Bluetooth call mutes your mic in game chat.

  • Thin-sounding mic

    Most reviewers found the retractable boom mic clear enough for team chat but thin or slightly fuzzy, and behind the best headset mics.

Battery

Rated up to 54 hours on 2.4 GHz, 42 hours on Bluetooth or 38 hours using both. A 15-minute USB-C charge gives up to 6 hours.

ChatMix dial

The dial on the right earcup balances game and chat audio natively on Xbox. On PC it needs SteelSeries Sonar, and PS5 sets the balance in its own menu.

Wired listening

A 3.5 mm jack on the left earcup allows wired listening.
