Our verdict

Worth considering mainly for the dual-wireless feature and long battery life; the 4.1 rating is a fair warning that it is a solid rather than exceptional headset.

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.

  • 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.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections
  • 50-plus hour battery with fast charging
  • Mic noise rejection up to 25db
  • Cross-platform: Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Switch, mobile
Cons
  • 4.1 rating trails others in this batch
  • Steel frame adds noticeable weight
  • No review text to confirm comfort claims

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.
