For me personally, I didn’t mind it especially as I’m not someone who treats their gear too harshly so I wouldn’t see it becoming an issue. I did notice that this headset uses a bit more plastic than the Prime does in some areas but it also makes it a bit lighter too so it really comes down to preference. The aluminum alloy and steel headband is malleable enough where it’s comfortable yet still sturdy enough to retain its shape when not in use. Just like with their other products, SteelSeries does not drop the ball on build quality at all. It’s also worth noting that it also matches the white Nintendo Switch OLED perfectly as well. The mostly white design with embellishments of black and blue details really makes this thing look great.

That being said, the color palette is on-point. While there is a blacked-out version (Arctis 7+), the 7P+ was created with the PlayStation 5 in mind. This is an insanely fresh-looking headset from top to bottom. Honestly though, that’s more a nit-pick than anything. The only thing missing that I would have liked to see was the wind-screen that came included with the Arctis Prime. It literally includes everything you’d need no matter what platform you’re gaming on. Inside, you’ll find the Arctis 7P+ headset, a USB-C wireless dongle, a mobile audio cable, a charging cable, and a USB-C to USB-A adapter. What’s In The BoxĪs per usual, SteelSeries manages to put together a clean box design that doesn’t go beyond what it’s meant to do, show off the product. Comfort, durability, and versatility are what set this headset apart from any that I’ve ever used.

It took everything I loved from the Arctis Prime and somehow managed to outdo itself. Though the year is just about over and I had thought that I finally tested out my last headset a month or so ago, SteelSeries was kind enough to send me over one of their awesome new Arctis 7P+ Wireless headsets and I could not be happier.
