The reviews were pretty spot on and if you need a pair of cans for multiple gaming uses this is a great purchase. So all in all, I’m mostly happy with these. Is it so hard to have a headset that works with everything? Honest question… No Bluetooth: I knew this wasn’t included but wish it was. Music: given I mostly listen to Rap, Hip-Hop and Pop I was disappointed, my phone earbuds are better! Vocals are okay but with the aforementioned lack of bass, treble also struggled at times and sound became muddy

Even playing around with the Engine software I could not get it to a point where it ever wowed me Gaming sound: really clear, not to sound hyperbolic but I’ve heard things using these that I never did on my 7.1 HT setupīass: Sadly if you like the thumping of bass this headset is not for you. Gaming soundstage: I’m no audiophile but am impressed by the directional abilities both with Dolby Atmos on XSX and 3D Audio on PS5 With that in mind, here are my thoughts:Įase of use: Worked flawlessly between my XSX, PS5, Switch and MacĬomfort: Headband works well and cups are soft (note: my ears were a bit hot to begin with but that’s more about me) I was looking for the best all-in-one headphones for gaming and general use and ultimately was won over by a bunch of web and YouTube reviews praising compatibility, sound and comfort.

I picked up the Arctis 7x on the weekend.
