SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2021-04-26

After connecting the headset to our test computer, we have adjusted the EQ settings and then went ahead to play various games such as Forza 4, Outsiders, Drift City and Call of Duty: Warzone: the headset is being able to deliver the same pleasing audio quality as the Arctis 9, with well represented bass and clear highs and we have found the Sidetone Volume wheel to be quite handy when talking with the fellow gamers. The only missing feature is the DTS HeadphoneX V2 surround, which was quite accurate, and we enjoyed it quite a bit on the Arctis 9 model; this was replaced by Playstation 5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech, present on the described console.

A Closer Look Part II

The Quick Start Guide is describing the headset components but also how to perform the connection procedure depending on the chosen device:

 

 

 

The Arctis 7P shares design elements from the original Arctis 7 we have tested and reviewed quite some time ago, but features notable improvements:

 

 

 

The interior of the cups does feature AirWeave Ear Cushions, which uses fabric mostly found with athletic clothing and do allow the skin to breathe during more intense gaming sessions. The speaker drivers are 40mm and feature a frequency response between 20 and 20000Hz, with a sensitivity of 98 dBSPL and an impedance of 32 Ohm:

 

 

 

On the exterior we will note a rubberized plastic cover, featuring a subtle SteelSeries logo:

 

 

 

The right cup comes with the Sidetone wheel, which controls how much of the microphone signal will be transmitted back to the headset, in order to have a better image on how you sound like; nearby we will note the Power button, which has additional functions as well:

 

 

 

On the left cup, we do have the Microphone mute button but also a Volume wheel:

 

 

 

Moving on, we will find a Mobile Cable jack but also a Headphone Share jack; the Mobile Cable jack will be used for installing the 4-pole 3.5mm audio cable in order to connect analog devices to the headset. The last is a micro-USB port used for charging purposes:

 

 

 

The microphone takes very little space when retracted and does also include an activity LED:

 

 

 

The body of the ClearCast Microphone is flexible and allows custom positioning; its frequency response is between 100 and 6500 Hz, with a bidirectional pick-up pattern and a sensitivity of -38 dBV/Pa:
