Today Amazon is offering the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X wireless gaming headset for only $128.58. That's a 28% discount and the best price we've seen for the Arctis Nova 7 series headset so far this year.
A quick note on compatibility. The Nova 7X is compatible with the Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PS4, and PC consoles. The Nova 7p and 7 are compatible with the PS and PC but not the Xbox. Other than the multi-platform support and the color scheme, these are all the same headphones.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming Headset for $128.58
The SteelSeries Arcis Nova 7X is the latest successor to the highly rated Arctis 7 series of headsets. It's every bit as good as its predecessor but with some welcome upgrades like a USB Type-C charging port, a longer battery life (38 hours vs 30 hours), simultaneous wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, and multi-platform compatibility. PC gamers also have access to the SteelSeries GG app, which opens up a whole suite of customization for your audio. You can tailor your audio settings independently for each game. If that's too much for you, there are presets for specific games that are actually tailor-made by the game developers.
Other than that, the Nova Arctis is largely similar to the original Arctis. That's not a bad thing because the Arctis 7 happens to be Steelseries' most successful gaming headset ever. This headset has significantly better build quality over the official $100 Xbox wireless headset. If you want an even better wireless headset, in our opinion you'd have to step all the way up to something like the Nova 7 Pro, whose $350 price point puts you in a completely different bracket altogether.
For our hands-on impressions, check out our IGN SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 review. We picked the Nova 7 as one of the best wireless gaming headsets and the Nova 7X as the most comfortable Xbox headset. In our opinion, the only SteelSeries headset is the Arctis Nova Pro (wireless) and that one is more than double the price/
