The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless are the updated sibling of the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless. While they have a similar design to other headphones in this lineup, their chat mix wheel sets them apart, allowing you to adjust the amount of music and chat audio you hear. They also support Sonar, a software integrated into SteelSeries GG software that offers more robust features, including a parametric EQ and a 7.1 Virtual Surround feature for a more immersive audio experience. Overall, they have long-lasting continuous battery life and decent mic performance. They also have low non-Bluetooth wireless latency thanks to their USB-C dongle, and their fit is comfortable enough for long gaming sessions.
Our Verdict
7.2 Neutral Sound
TheSteelSeries Arctis 7+ are decent for neutral sound. Out of the box, they have a very boomy sound that muddies vocals and lead instruments. They also have inconsistent audio delivery, and if you have thick hair or wear glasses, you may especially notice a drop in bass. That said, you can tweak their sound to your liking using their companion app's graphic and parametric EQs as well as EQ presets.
Pros
-
Well-built and comfortable design.
Cons
-
Disappointing frequency response consistency.

However, they have long-lasting continuous battery life and are well-built.
Pros

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ come in two color variations: 'Black' and 'White'. We tested the 'Black' variant; you can see our model's labelhere. If you come across another variant, please let us know in the discussions.
Compared To Other Headphones
The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ are wireless gaming headphones with low latency and robust customization features, thanks to their companion software, SteelSeries GG and Sonar. Unlike the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless, they also have a dedicated channel mixing wheel instead of sidetone, which is handy if you like to chat with others while you game. However, you can't use them wirelessly on Xbox consoles, so if you have this console, it's worth checking out the Xbox-oriented SteelSeries Arctis 7X Wireless instead.

That said, the power button controls audio playback depending on how many times you press it, so you can use the headphones more casually. On the downside, the channel mixing and volume wheels have no distinguishing features to help you tell them apart. There isn't a middle notch on the volume wheel either. However, there are min and max stops for both wheels. There's also feedback when you mute and unmute the mic, as well as a light that turns red when muted.
