According to our gaming headset expert
You can experience the best in-game audio with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7. You can wirelessly connect this headset to your PC via the USB-C dongle. This way, you're not bothered by cables while you're gaming. The Nova Acoustic System allows you to enjoy clear treble and a deep bass, so you have the best in-game audio. With surround sound, you hear all the game audio 360 degrees around you and you know exactly where your opponents are coming from. That way, you're always one step ahead. You can also communicate online without background noise thanks to the noise suppression in the microphone. As a result, your message always comes across clearly.
Note: this gaming headset is made for PC, but you can also use it wirelessly on the PlayStation.

I think the Arctis Nova 7 is a very nice wireless headset. The sound sounds really nice thanks to the Virtual Surround Sound. But especially the microphone is top quality, I sounded really clear according to my friends. The ear cups are small and made of fabric, so you feel the fabric more than leather ear cups.
The installation and the sound When I took the Arctis Nova 7 out of the box, I came across a lot of accessories for pairing the headset. The easiest way is via the usb C dongle, I plugged it into my PlayStation 5 and I could get started wirelessly right away. The Arctis Nova 7 can also be connected to a console via bluetooth, this also works very simply. If wireless does not work, the Nova 7 can also be connected wired. In terms of sound, the Arctis Nova 7 is really more than fine. During a multiplayer game like Fortnite or Call of Duty, I could hear exactly where shots and enemies were coming from, even if they were overhead.
Sturdy and comfortable headset The Arctis Nova 7 has fabric ear cups and a metal headband. The headset is sturdy and fits really well. However, the ear cups are quite narrow, so they pinched my ears during longer gaming sessions. I also find leather ear cups a bit more pleasant than fabrics, because leather ear cups close better and you feel the material less. Fabric ear cups ventilate a lot better than leather ear cups, so if you quickly get warm ears, fabric is nice.
Top quality microphone The microphone of the Arctis Nova 7 is really very good. This was already the case with the Arctis Nova 3, so this plus was no surprise. I was super easy to understand for my friends and I even recorded a podcast with it. A good microphone is very nice, especially if you play a lot online with your friends. The communication between your friends during a game of Call of Duty is completely fine with the Arctis Nova 7.

Headset has everything I'm looking for. It fits comfortably, even after hours of gaming. I've been gaming for a total of 25 hours and haven't had to charge it yet, the battery lasts a long time. If it falls flat, you can continue gaming wired, you don't have to charge it first. You can connect with both the dongle and Bluetooth. You can simply slide the mic in and use it as regular headphones to listen to music. You can set it completely to your wishes via the software. You can also choose pre-programmed sound settings that are adjusted per game and that list is very long. You can also fine-tune these settings to your wishes. I am very satisfied with it. Even though it was on promotion at Coolblue, it was still €20 more expensive than its competitor. Why did I buy it from Coolblue after all? Their good service and after-sales service. Been a customer for 10 years and always helped correctly and quickly in case of problems or defects.

I used these headphones on my pc then no problem at all until I wanted to connect them to my chromecast, took a while to get connected but after that the sound was terrible and totally unbearable. Tried overnight and still the same result. Returned immediately
