It’s less noticeable on my head than the Arctis 9X, but if I move around from side to side too quickly, I can feel the headset shift.

It makes me worry about the longevity of the velcro against the cloth material.Īt 12.9 ounces, the Arctis 7P is lighter than some of its siblings, including the SteelSeries Arctis 9X, which weighs 13.1 ounces.

Thanks to the velcro strap, the headset is easy to adjust, but it can take a bit of time pulling it apart and sticking it back together again. The ski goggle headband felt a little different this time around due to my huge head of hair, so I had to loosen it up a bit, but it felt practically nonexistent against my scalp. They sit snugly over my ears and put just enough pressure to block out noise without cutting off blood circulation. SteelSeries stays true to the cliche “if it ain't broke, don't fix it” by recycling its Airweave fabric ear cushions and bringing it to the Arctis 7P. SteelSeries does not include a traditional 3.5mm audio cable in the box.

In the box, you’ll find the 2.4-GHz USB Type-C receiver, a female USB Type-C to male USB Type-A adapter, a USB Type-A to micro-USB cable for charging and the Share Port cable, which is a proprietary audio jack that feeds into a male 3.5mm audio port. Unfortunately, there’s no USB Type-C charging, which we’ve seen on cheaper headsets, like the HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless. The aforementioned Share Port lets you plug another user into your headset with an included proprietary cable so you can share audio. The right cup features the power button and a sidetone rocker. From top to bottom on the left cup, there’s the mute button, a volume rocker, the Share Port, a 3.5 audio jack, a microUSB port for charging and the retractable ClearCast microphone. There are a healthy number of controls and ports on the Arctis 7P.
