Similar to the updated Arctis 7X/7P and 7P+ models, the new 7+ connects wirelessly to basically anything that supports USB-C, including PC, Mac, PS4/PS5, Switch, and Android devices, thereby making the 7+ one of the most versatile wireless headset offerings. Whereas the original Arctis 7 was able to connect wirelessly through various devices through regular USB, it couldn’t connect wirelessly to mobile devices or the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode.

Another great new feature of the updated model is being able to connect to almost all devices that support USB-C. This new + model updates this legacy headset with features from the 7P+ model, including vastly improved battery life and USB-C fast charging. Whereas the Arctis 7 line was already expanded with the 7X and 7P in late 2020, the original 7 model dates from 2016. The newly updated 7P+ for PS5 was already included in our best console headset list, and I now wanted to share my impressions of the regular new 7+ model. Recently, the brand released updated models in this line – the Arctis 7 + and 7P +.

Alongside the launch of the next-gen consoles back in November of 2020, SteelSeries launched its new Arctis 7 wireless headset line, including the 7X for Xbox and 7P for PlayStation.
