The battery takes roughly three hours to fully charge. The same is true when using the headset on video calls with a PC all other participants could hear me perfectly well, as I could them. The mic is great too, with my friends (and enemies, depending on what I'm playing) able to hear my every word without muffling or distortion. With Demon's Souls, I was able to discern exactly where ghoulish groans and shuffling feet were coming from.

Likewise, with Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, I found I was able to position my enemies with ease, picking them off with pop-shots around corners when I heard them approaching.

This is always useful in a game that relies heavily on stealth! Thanks to the compatibility with the PS5's Tempest 3D audio, every sound is accurately positioned within the gaming environment. Sneaking around the Deathloop's rooftops and alleyways, I always know the position of the enemies surrounding me. Footsteps, opening doors, and NPC sounds all of these, and much more, are audible in crystal clarity when you've got the 7P+ on your head. The sound quality is excellent, so you can hear the minuscule details that make all the difference when you're gaming. In short, the Arctis 7P+ performance is outstanding. So, understand that there is always going to be an element of subjectivity in a gaming headset review. Likewise, something that I can wear for hours might cause you some discomfort after 30 minutes. Keep in mind that we all hear differently, so an amazing gaming headset to me might not sound the same to you. How well does the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ actually work? Does this pro-level prize money claim ring true?īefore we answer those questions, a caveat. OK, so on to the part of the review we've all be waiting for.
