According to our gaming headset expert
You can experience the best in-game audio with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Gen 2 - Black. You can wirelessly connect this headset to your PlayStation 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 Xbox, but you can also use it wirelessly on the PC.

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.

Top headset, very handy for gaming (PC perspective). Connects via Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz simultaneously. Very good sound (7.1 surround).
Before this, I had the Steelseries Arctis 9 (DRR-less). I actually wanted that one again, but unfortunately, it was broken at one of the ear attachment points. But ultimately, I am happier with the new purchase, the Nova 7 Gen 2.

After using the Gen 1 for about 6 years, the battery died. I have always been very satisfied with this headset, so ordering the Gen 2 was a logical choice.
The sound is an upgrade, especially speech and improved bass over the Gen 1, and the even longer battery life is a nice bonus, although I never ran out of power with the Gen 1.
The earcups are a tad smaller, and the Gen 2 fits quite tightly—still comfortable, though the Gen 1 felt a bit looser; that could also be because it is still new. The mic is just good, nothing to complain about.
I hope to be able to use it for another few years.
