Steelseries has been making some of our favorite gaming headsets for years, and its latest Xbox option, the Arctis Nova 7X, is a great example. It features powerful neodymium magnetic drivers for crystal clear sound, up to 38 hours of battery life, and a nifty retractable microphone. It can also be used on multiple systems, including PlayStation and Switch (with a bundled USB-C dongle), and it can be connected to two devices at once. (This is useful for connecting your phone to your gaming system.)
The Arctis Nova 7X also supports spatial audio technology from Microsoft and Sony, which can make games more immersive with simulated 360-degree audio. Although it’s more expensive than mainstream headphones, you’ll notice the difference in sound with the Nova 7X, as well as its comfortable fit, thanks to a sturdy headband and memory foam ear cushions. -DH
