Steelseries has been making some of our favorite gaming headsets for years, and its latest Xbox option, the Arctis Nova 7X, is a great example of this. It features powerful neodymium magnet drivers for crystal-clear sound, up to 38 hours of battery life, and a convenient extendable microphone. It can also be used on multiple systems, including PlayStation and Switch (with an included USB-C dongle), and it can connect to two devices at once. (This is helpful if you want to connect your phone to your gaming system.)
The Arctis Nova 7X also supports Microsoft and Sony’s spatial audio technology, which can make games even more immersive with simulated 360-degree sound. Although it’s more expensive than standard headphones, you’ll notice the difference in sound compared to the Nova 7X, as well as its comfortable fit thanks to a sturdy headband and memory foam ear cushions. – DH
