After years of enjoying the Gen 1 Arctis Nova 7, I had to buy a Gen 2. The quality is a step down, but the comfort is an improvement.
Sonar is an option to enhance your immersion while gaming. It's the built-in version of 7.1 surround sound. A fantastic piece of software.
The biggest drawback is that for this price, you'd expect a better microphone. It's truly awful. If you don't have a standalone microphone, avoid this device. You're not doing your friends any favors.
The worst part is a high-pitched squeal in the right earcup. I don't know exactly what's causing it. Sometimes it goes away on its own, sometimes I have to turn on Bluetooth and it goes away temporarily. Other times, it comes back. Whether I use the headphones wirelessly or wired, this high-pitched squeal keeps recurring. If you don't have music playing, it's very noticeable and incredibly annoying. After Googling, it turns out this is a problem everywhere. It's a device-specific issue.
I would never buy these headphones again just for the high-pitched sound. Unfortunately, I threw the packaging away the same day, and now I'm stuck with them.

First of all, I previously purchased this product through Coolblue, and Steelseries gave me a completely free replacement after reading my review. Fantastic. I was contacted by a Coolblue representative, who arranged it for me. I've never experienced anything like it. I was truly speechless. I have nothing but praise for Coolblue and Steelseries regarding their service.
But then. The product itself. Even with the new product, I have the same complaint: a high-pitched buzzing noise in the right earcup. However, this only occurs when I use the product wirelessly for a while. Once the battery reaches 70%-50%, the buzzing gradually returns and becomes increasingly louder.
When I connect the product to my PC via USB-C, the sound disappears. Possibly the battery?
Other than that, fantastic design, great sound, extremely comfortable. Definitely recommended. If you mainly use the headset wired, it's a great experience. The only downside is the microphone. It's bizarrely poor quality. Luckily, I don't have a problem with that myself, because I only use it for sidetone. I have a separate microphone for my input needs.
So keep that in mind.
