You can hear distinction between highs, lows, and mids, and the sound isn’t tinny or unbalanced, but it just isn’t as crisp or punchy as it could be. My COD K/D ratio went up ever so slightly (although it could have just been because having the Sonar feature boosted my confidence).įor music, the 7P+ sounds good, but not great. Although this is just an early-access feature that’s not unique to the 7P+ headset, it felt like it helped to slightly improve my gaming performance in Far Cry and COD. You even get early access to SteelSeries’ Sonar 3D audio PC software with the Arctis 7+ and 7P+, which is supposed to help you better determine your enemy’s location with more precise sound, and allow you to more accurately tune your sound. On PC, the 7P+ still provides an accurate sound landscape, with enough customization via the SteelSeriesGG software to get your preferred sound profile. If you play exclusively on PC, we’d recommend the regular 7+ over the 7P+, but you won’t be disappointed if you go with the 7P+ for back and forth use. When it rained in a game, it sounded as though that rain was coming from outside of my window. In COD, when a weapon fired from far away, it sounded like the fire was coming from the shooter’s actual in-game location, which helped me react appropriately. I played Mortal Kombat 11 on story mode while testing this headset, and Kitana’s footsteps sounded like they were actually coming from down my hallway. Music doesn’t overpower speech, and characters sound like they’re actually coming from far away when they’re off in the distance. On PS5, games that support 3D audio like Spider Man: Miles Morales and COD: Black Ops sound really accurate. Of course, there are better-sounding units available (like the ultra premium Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT), but this is one of the best-sounding headsets you can get in this price range. With 40 mm drivers, a frequency response of 20 to 20,000 Hz (to cover a range of lows, mids, and highs), a relatively high sensitivity of 98dBSPL and compatibility with Tempest 3D audio on the PS5, this headset sounds pretty good. The only downside is that the dongle is a bit large, so when you plug it into the console, it slightly extends into the territory of the USB-A port on top of it. The 7P+ is super-easy to connect to the PS5 too, as you simply plug in the USB-C wireless dongle. The ear cups, which fit just tightly enough (but not too tight), provide some passive noise cancellation from the outside environment, while also cushioning the area around the perimeter of your ears without pressing or pushing.
A main reason the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ is so comfortable is because of the band-the “ski goggle” style suspension headband is metal for durability, but it has an adjustable elastic band underneath that sits ever so gently against your head.
