For years, Steelseries has been producing some of the most impressive gaming headsets, and their latest Xbox offering, the Arctis Nova 7X, is a prime example of their excellence. This headset boasts powerful neodymium magnetic drivers, delivering crystal-clear sound, and offers an impressive 38 hours of battery life, along with a convenient retractable microphone. Furthermore, it is compatible with multiple platforms, including PlayStation and Switch, thanks to a bundled USB-C dongle, and can connect to two devices simultaneously, making it convenient to use with both your gaming system and phone.

The Arctis Nova 7X also features support for both Microsoft and Sony’s spatial audio technologies, enabling a more immersive gaming experience with simulated 360-degree sound. Although it may be more expensive than mainstream headphones, the Nova 7X’s superior sound quality and comfortable fit, courtesy of its sturdy headband and memory foam ear cushions, make it well worth the investment. — D.H.
