I have the elite and 7p, the pulse I had to replace the cushions after 6 months and when best buy had the 7p on sale I bought me one and they are loud and comfortable and you can use the cable or the Bluetooth connector. 7p are the better

Not sure about that buddy. But 7P+ is using a USB-C dongle which works on my Mac too.
r/playstation • I need recommendations for a PS5 headset, I don't mind spending a lot of money, what are your best suggestions? ->The 7p+ is just a more comfortable headset than the 7p. I have had both before just getting the SteelSeries' Arctis Pro on sale. I would get the 7p+.

r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->7P+ for sure! I have had these for years and they are super comfortable, great battery life, and long lasting. I use them daily and they still look and feel great.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->I have the 7P+ and can vouch for it. Best headset I've owned.
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->Out of those 3 specifically? Arctic 7P+
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->I went with the Arctic 7P+ and it's held me up so long-it still technically works til this day however I regularly use the Pulse Explores just due to the sheer convenience (with an obviously lower sound quality).
r/playstation • Which would you choose, and why? ->I have the 7p+ and they're amazing. I just wish i paid a it more for those ones above it just for the Bluetooth capability
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Audeze Maxwell - Considered one of the best wireless gaming headsets. Popular with music creators as well as for gaming. Mic is reasonably good, though can clip a little. Comes with leather earpads, but they can be replaced easily. Drop + EPOS PC38X - One of the best wired gaming headsets for sound clarity and mic quality. Bass reproduction is a bit muted, which is common for older style EPOS / Sennheiser headsets, and common with open back headphones in general. The mic is essentially the best of any consumer headset you can buy. Generally can only be bought directly from Drop's site. Comes with both cloth and velour earpads. [https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset](https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset) Steel Series Arctis headsets are generally a decent middle ground in terms of decent bass and mic quality. The overall audio quality isn't as good as either the Maxwell or PC38X, but they're closed back so their bass response is more like the Maxwell. And the mic quality is generally better than the Maxwell, but no where near as good as the PC38X. Most (maybe all?) use cloth earpads. Nova Pro Wireless and Nova 9 are both quite good, with the Nova 9 being slightly better in terms of audio clarity and mic quality, but the Pro Wireless has better bass and noise cancelling.
r/buildapc • View on Reddit →I bought SS Arctis 7P like 2-3 years ago, use it daily, and they still work like new. EDIT: I guess I had to replace the cushions.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Pulse is fine if it was 100$ otherwise it's overpriced because it has a playstation logo on it. Not talking about build quality which I didn't have am issue with, i have an issue with the price for product thing. Get the 7p+ it's amazing for the mid range
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I have the 7p+ and I absolutely love them. They're durable, comfortable and the 3D sound is impressive.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →7P. I've had mine for a few years now. Love it
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I really enjoy the 7P+, I even had the old 7P on PS4 and made sure to upgrade with the PS5. No regrets!
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I have the 7p+ had mine for about 5 years and they're still perfect. Highly recommend🤘
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Arctis 7p+ is what I have been using for the last 7 years I use it for work aswell great battery life and great sound
r/playstation • View on Reddit →7P+ is one of the best headsets I have ever owned. Had it since it came out for the PS5 and still use for my daily. Great sound quality, clear mic, and great connection with dongle
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Haven't tried the Arctic Nova 7P, but I have tried the 7P+ and Pulse Elite and 1000% recommend the 7P+. I've been using it for a few years and It's genuinely been fantastic. Holds charge for a long time so I don't really charge it that often and the spacial awareness on it has been great. It's also super comfortable and I haven't had any issues wearing it for 4-6 hours at a time. Having the option to also hear around you is very nice incase you need to multi task. It also helps it's the cheapest option while also, imo being the best!
r/playstation • View on Reddit →7p + and the nova 7p are better than Sony's so I'd say go with either one. Money saver would be the 7p + and it's not much of a downgrade compared to the nova 7p. The only thing you really lose with the 7p + is having the newer model mainly. If you wanna save money, do the 7p +, if you want the newer one and spend extra, go nova 7p
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Steelseries 7p or 7x probably gonna be your best bet and finding them used will be even cheaper. There are others id recommended but there over 100
r/playstation • View on Reddit →What did you get? I got 7p+ and love it. Tried pulse elite because adjusting EQ through PS5 but wasn't worth it. Just returned them after 1 day 😂 they just crackled and disconnected like 5 times per hour. My steelseries haven't done those even once and I've used them much longer.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Same, best ive had in a long time, build feels great quality, 7p+ highly recomended
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I had the 7p+ and it was great. Lasted forever. Upgraded to the nova pro wireless which is even better but for sure the 7p+ is a great headset.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →7P+ is incredible. And I normally don't like gaming headsets
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I have the old 7p+. I like everything about it except charging with the mini usb and they do tend to make my ears ache after a couple hours. I particularly like the backfeed mic so you can hear yourself talk
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Just for the price, 7P+. I had em and they are very solid. You can use it for whatever use you need and the battery is amazing. But, if you can go for the Nova... then go for them. Newer, with better software options than 7P... i want to upgrade but, my budget is limited.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →The pulse elite is one of the absolute WORST headsets I have ever bought. Massive waste of money. I have the steelseries 7P and I love it. Definitely gonna be sticking to this one for a long time
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I've had the bottom set for about 4 years. The Arctis 7P+ set. I absolutely love it. I'd recommend that one. It's super comfortable for long sessions. The battery lasts forever. The sound is excellent. Works great with 3d audio. The mic is very good too. I use them for music as well as gaming. They sound great plugged into a phone.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →100% in agreement, the Pulse Elite, (in my opinion) are horrible. Mine lasted about the same and broke in the same place as others mentioned and I always take care of my belongings and they were always hung up after use. We have the Arctis Nove Pro and the 7p. Definitely get the gen 2 as you can connect them to the mobile app but can't with gen1. They do sound pretty good.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I used the original Playstation Pulse for the last couple years and they were awesome for Siege. Felt like I could hear footsteps and knew exactly where they were coming from. They were starting to breakdown a bit and decided it was time for a new pair. Curiosity got to me and I ended up buying the Steelseries Arctis 7p's which I heard were top notch. You have to download software to get these dialed in to be able to hear what you want to hear. Been a bit of a pain in the ass. Kind of wish I would have just gone with the Playstation Pulse Elites. Grass isn't always greener! If anyone else is using the 7p's and has a good EQ setting for Siege, please let me know!
r/SiegeAcademy • View on Reddit →Tried the Arctis 7P+ and found them to be waaay too quiet and not enough bass. Got the Sony Inzone H7 instead and never looked back
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Currently using 7p+, nothing to complain except for the pick up noice
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I've had the Artctis 7P+ for many years now and it still works perfectly fine
r/playstation • View on Reddit →The Arctis steel series ones that are marketed for Xbox work with PlayStation too and I see now they have some PlayStation branded ones too
r/PS5pro • View on Reddit →Audio differences between the Nova and the 7P+ are minimal. I owned the 7P+ before I upgraded to the nova and let me tell you the two major points that I noticed were better. 1: The fabric headband that the 7P+ uses gets stretched out over time and needs replacing, whereas on the Nova you can buy rubber ones and you won't have the same issue. 2: The Novas support simultaneous 2.4 ghz and Bluetooth connections. So you can have it connected to both a PS5 and a phone and hear audio from both simultaneously. There's also the fact that with the 7P+, you have to connect it to your PC to mess with its audio settings and adjust its EQ. I'm told the Gen 2 Novas now have mobile app support. I'd go with Nova
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Arc Steel Series is another solid option. I have a wireless one I purchased for $100 two years ago and haven't had a single problem. Crisp, clear audio and super comfortable too.
r/XboxGamers • View on Reddit →idk about the 200$ price ranged ones but i had the 7p+ they lasted me for a bit before deciding to get different headsets nothing wrong with them just wanted new ones they were pretty solid no complaints my friend uses the same ones as well although they a bit cheaper than 180$
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I have the 7p+ and it's always served me well
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I own 7P+ for a little more than two years now and it's the best headset I have ever had. Great sound and quality.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →Just get the PlayStation version. It will work just fine on pc as both use the same wireless dongle. Only difference is the PlayStation version has some different colors on it
r/buildapc • View on Reddit →Agree, I'm on arctis 7p+. Compared to pulse elites (which you could imagine be "the best" for ps5). Arctis is comfortable, metal structure mostly, zero connection issues, low profile usb c dongle that you can put in front side of your ps5. Pulse elite is opposite in all these, garbage. Only downside is having to adjust EQ through pc but that's nothing compared to what else you get.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I own both. The Nova can connect via bluetooth, the 7P+ cannot. I'm talking phones and what not, you'll need to use the dongle for the console anyway. If you don't plan on using the headset for other stuff than gaming, go for the cheaper 7P+. The Nova is also a bit smaller in terms of cup size vs the 7P+. I have a big head yet both of them are comfortable enough. Battery life is amazing on both, I charge them every 2-3 weeks. I haven't tried the Sony Pulse but I did buy the Sony Gold, which were cheaper but the build quality was way flimsier than a SteelSeries and the battery life was a joke in comparion. Would not recommend Sony for gaming headsets.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →These, I've tried loads and they're clear
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I have the 7P+. I've had them for more than 2 years and I love them.
r/playstation • View on Reddit →I have a Steelseries Arctis 7p+ headset that I've been using for like 4 years and I love it. Mostly just use it on my PS5 but it has a 2.4ghz dongle plus you can use an aux cord if you want. Super comfortable too.
