Here we look at the Steelseries Nova 7. In the video I show the 7P's but it may be worth getting the 7X's as they do exactly the same but are also Xbox compatible. I got the P's due to having a deal on at the time of purchase.
These are the replacement for the Arctis 7+'s. Its has pretty much everything you need and if you own a PC it has even more!
A fantastic headset and I hope I've covered everything you need to know about them.
Steelseries have done an excellent job not the Nova's taking all what I love about the Arctis (mainly the sound) and put it in a headset with way more features and better comfort.
For an alternative set of ps5 headphones :

I’m lazy when it comes to profiles 😂 I use Smiley. What I’d suggest is there are Reddit posts with specific equaliser settings, but you may not find them suitable for you. Best way is to pick a profile and tweak (more bass, less tinny etc)

Thanks. The Novas don’t have chat mix on the set but they sound (3d audio) and feel, great. However, I’ve just bought the Inzone H7’s and you may want to consider them. I’m making a video on them for next week as they are also superb and have chat mix on the headset themselves.

Is the functionality and performance the same across the XSX/PS5/PC? I’ve got a pair of Astro A40s hooked up to my Xbox so it’s not NECESSARY to get the 7X but if it’s compatible with all 3 platforms and work’s identically on all 3, there’s not much reason to get the PS specific variant.

Could be a deal breaker for me if it is the case that you can't use at least 1 sound profile on Series X or PS5 at a time.

@lehas. Год назад

@@MainCave ahh thankyou so much. Is not having the side tone on the 7x a big deal? Also I assume the chat mix dial won't work on the ps5 so would I have to adjust game and party chat through the ps5 console itself?

It’ll work but the game and chat mixer won’t work. Also you’ll have to adjust the side tone with the software not straight from the headset like the 7p. Just get the one for what ever console you have.

Now battery died, deformated i willing to buy a new headset for my ps5. Only thing that i liked, that was 3D Audio and sounds were crystal clear. Microphone quality was so bad too.. I think the best headset of Sony was pulse headset as the quality, but it's made for PS3 years ago.

I've been searching for a new headset for weeks now. I've bought and returned a few of them already. My biggest issue is that none of them are as loud as my old PS Gold headset I bought back in 2013 for my PS3 and PS4. And I'm comparing those to brand new headsets that cost DOUBLE the price. How loud do these get? Basically, I don't like having to max out the volume to hear everything as loud and clear as possible. Some games simply don't play as loud as others, you know?

@@Nacional-Socialismo I love my HS80 and I can hear player footsteps from a good 20-30ft away and the directionality is really good, it's easy to tell if the footsteps are to your right, left, above you, etc. I wouldn't say they're the "ultimate in audio" but I would definitely say they're the best headset in the $100-150 range. I believe they're $100 right now and that's a steal imo. I've had mine for almost 2yrs now and I've had zero issues with em whatsoever. They also come with Dolby Atmos and the equalizer in iCUE is really good too. Lastly, the microphone is the best I've ever heard, not only in a wireless headset, but a wired one as well. It's really amazing how great it sounds, it's like broadcast mic quality. People tell me it sounds like I'm right next to them, no compression or distortion, they sound awesome

For ps5 how do I change the chat volume while keeping game volume how I want it cause my friends are way to loud

@MainCave 6 месяцев назад

Unfortunately , unless you have a Sony headset this function needs to be done via the PS5 menu system. Ive moved over to the Intone H7's which allow this.

is the nova 7 a real upgrade from the arctis 7+?, ive bought the nova 7 myself but i dont find them too comfortable, they seem too clamp too much compared to my old arctis 1. cant have the nova on for more then 2 hours. also i dont think the sound on the nova's is too great, need alot of tweaking in sonar and EQ to maybe hit the spot. if the arctis 7+ is more comfortable and has more emersion i might bring the nova 7 back.

@MainCave Год назад

I’m making a comparison video at the moment but the theme is, there’s not much difference. They are pretty similar in price and almost identical in sound BUT, the Novas have built in Bluetooth which is essential for me.

@Rockerrobin Год назад

The volume controls suck unfortunately you one have volume no chat mixer or even Bluetooth/game balance. Makes them kind of useless even for chat and gaming. I sent mine back and ordered the pro. the fitment wasn't that great either being rather top heavy and fell off even at the smallest setting I had to wear a hat to keep them from falling backward or forwards, even with an EQ they sounded box. I might need a headband strap or 3rd party cup rings to add thicker pads to the pro.

@MainCave Год назад

The Pros will be excellent. I did however have the last gen pros and had to re-cable just to get the control box next to the sofa where I was playing, hated getting up every time to change settings or battery. Also, I changed chat mix once to the perfect balance and left it (as with these it’s literally a solution to move the mic) and with the pros I still used BT volume on my phone (it’s quicker than using the control box). They did sound better/deeper, but for nearly double, it’s a lot of money.

@MainCave Год назад

Yeah. I say the best value. Pros are better but they are vastly more expensive.

@EduardSLVRU Год назад

@@MainCave they are expensive but if you brake down the price than you will see that the actual headphone itself costs less than the Nova 7 and Nova Pro itself much better sound quality than Nova 7. DAC station for Nova Pro costs almost half the price of the whole pack. Then you get two set of batteries, they are not expensive, about $20 for pack of two. Put his all together and you get an excellent value for the money. I was thinking to get Nova 7 and keep on bouncing between Nova 7 and Nova Pro Wireless. It took me a couple of weeks to come up with what I want. And on the last day I was ready to buy Nova 7 and then I thought I will missing out on a lot of features and the main one is true wireless. Because I don’t really want to spend lots of money and then still sit for a couple of hours to change headsets while playing. Then I switch to Nova Pro Wireless right away. Also Nava Pro Wireless hard to find. At least in UK. Almost all the major retailers sold out and on the official website also out of stock. Lots of the retailers do back orders but no one knows how long to wait, because they all getting stock from the main supplier which is also out of stock. So if you have some spare cash and you can afford to ge them, then buy them. I was so sceptical about them before I bought them last week and now I don’t regret it all. Money well spent. I might say, did a Christmas present well in advance.
