Steelseries has been making some of our favorite gaming headsets for years, and its latest Xbox option, the Arctis Nova 7X, is the reason. It features a powerful Arctic magnetic drive for clear and transparent sound, up to 38 hours of battery life and a retractable microphone. It can also be used on multiple systems, including PlayStation and Switch (with a bundled USB-C dongle), and can be connected to two devices at once. (This helps connect the phone to the gaming system.)
ARCTIS NOVA 7X also supports Microsoft and Sony’s spatial audio technology, which can make the game more immersive through simulated 360-degree sound. While it’s more valuable than mainstream headphones, you’ll notice the Nova 7x’s sound difference and its comfortable fit, thanks to the sturdy headband and foam ear cushions with memory. – DH
