![]() ![]() ![]() It was originally rated at 15 hours, but SteelSeries recently unleashed a firmware update which, it claims, extends that battery life to a staggering 24 hours. MMOs also tend to eschew surround-sound – and the vast majority of them are best played on the PC.Īnother aspect of the Arctis 7 which will endear it to MMO-lovers is its battery life. ![]() Anyone who plays those will place comfort at the top of their list of priorities, and the Arctis 7 certainly scores well in the comfort stakes. One genre of game which it is eminently suited to is Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs). In any case, the Arctis 7 simply won’t be able to convey any sort of surround-sound on any of the consoles. This could put you at a disadvantage if you’re in the upper echelon of first-person shooter devotees, but if you don’t have any aspirations to be a professional Call of Duty player or the like, it shouldn’t pose too much of a problem. If you’re looking for a headset that provides a cinema-type sound, with a constant, excitement-ramping bass rumble, you’ll want to look elsewhere, as you’ll find its bass rather weedy. It has a particularly strong, crystal-clear mid-range, along with a nicely balanced and very precise treble. Not that you would necessarily want to, as the Arctis 7 has a very clear, neutral sound – one that should please the audiophiles.

The only mention of any software or firmware settings in the manual pertained to setting the Arctis 7 up for use with a PC, which rather gives the game away – it’s very much a PC headset which can also be hooked up to consoles. The manual gave no inkling that that was a possibility, but a spot of web-trawling enlightened us. Although that requires a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm cable, connecting the Switch’s audio-out with line-in on the transmitter, which isn’t supplied with the headset. One big feather in its cap is that it will work as a fully wireless headset (although again without surround-sound) with a Nintendo Switch in its docked mode. ![]()
