This power button also functions as a quick battery indicator, flashing in green, yellow, and red, depending on how much juice is left in the battery. On the right earcup, we find only two buttons - the ChatMix control dial, which allows users to control the balance between in-game audio and in-game chat, and the power button. Here we find the volume dial, micro-USB charging port, SteelSeries' proprietary USB connection port, a 3.5mm audio jack, mute button, and the retractable Discord-certified microphone which emits a red light when muted. Whereas on the Arctis 9 the main controls can be found on the right ear cup, the 7X has them on the left side. Those looking for multiplatform compatibility should, without a doubt, pick the 7X over the 7P. Interesting to note is that while the Arctis 7P doesn't work on Xbox consoles, the 7X does work on PlayStation consoles by setting the USB-C dongle to USB mode. Just like the Arctis 1 Wireless, the 7X connects wirelessly through SteelSeries' wireless 2.4Ghz USB-C dongle, allowing for a high-fidelity and lag-free gaming experience across multiple devices, including Xbox consoles, the Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android devices.

The Arctis 7X sports a black design combined with green accents in line with Microsoft's Xbox Series X (sorry Xbox Series S fans), and builds upon the rewarded SteelSeries 7 wireless headset while adding the multiplatform USB-C connectivity from the Arctis 1 Wireless. In addition, there are some differences when it comes to tuning in the SteelSeries Engine 3 software, but more about that later on. The main differences between the two are the colors of the supplied ski-goggle bands, button layout, and the way the headphones connect wirelessly. Both feature a durable steel headband construction covered by SteelSeries' iconic ski-goggle suspension headband and paired with athletics-inspired Airweave fabric ear cushions. Specifications Speaker DriversĪs mentioned above, the Arctis 7X (7P as well) and Arctis 9 share the same design. Let's continue with the official specifications of SteelSeries' latest headset offerings. This feature allows players to stream two wireless audio sources at the same time.Īlright, so much for the introduction. The Arctis 9 shares its 'Dual Wireless' connectivity, offering both 2.4Ghz wireless and BlueTooth audio, with the excellent Arctis Pro Wireless headset.
