The verdict

The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless makes some big improvements in less flashy areas, while maintaining the parts of the original Arctis 7 design that already work really well. The SteelSeries GG app is very good and expands upon SteelSeries Engine, a formerly standalone app. You can connect the Arctis 7+ Wireless to pretty much any device, and the result is a real workhorse of a gaming headset.

✓Liked: Battery life, Comfortable, Decent sound, EQ

✕Could be better: Sonar has some kinks, Extra bass
