Overview
SteelSeries built the Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2 around running two wireless connections at once: 2.4GHz for the game and Bluetooth for a phone, on top of a 50-plus hour battery and cross-platform support for Xbox, PC, PS5/PS4, Switch and mobile.
The model field on this listing reads PS5/PS4, but the title and feature list describe a broader cross-platform headset. The real hook is the simultaneous 2.4GHz plus Bluetooth mixing, which lets phone audio layer over game sound instead of forcing a choice between the two. The 4.1 average rating from 313 reviews suggests it is decent rather than a standout in this batch.
- Over 50 hours of battery life
- Simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth
- Neodymium drivers, 360 spatial audio
- ClearCast Gen 2 noise-rejecting mic
Who it's for
Players who switch between console and PC, or who want phone calls and notifications available without pausing a game. Less suited to someone on a single platform with no need for a second audio source.
Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes
Neodymium drivers with 360-degree spatial audio support are what aim to give the wide soundstage SteelSeries describes, useful for locating in-game sound cues. The ClearCast Gen 2 mic works by cutting background noise by up to 25db, with the listing noting further enhancement from Sonar AI software on PC. USB-C fast charging and the stated 40%-plus battery gain over the prior generation are what reduce how often it needs to come off charge.
