Gaming experience and MIC

As for testing the headset, let's talk through a handful of games:

PUBG

Our test could not miss one of the hottest titles of previous years. In many situations, this famous battle royale game requires patience and capturing audio details that can reveal, e.g., if another player is in the same building as you. So, the spatial aspect of the sound is essential, making it easier to determine the direction from which the opponent is coming and even how far away they are. The test consisted of playing a single match in solo mode. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless works great in PUBG.

Battlefield 1

Here, the sound becomes just an addition for us, partly because we cannot even feel the headphones on our heads because of their lightness. The advantage of this is that you can focus on the game better. Everything seemed to be correct and adequate. The headset does an excellent job of presenting environmental detail. Positioning is ideal here, giving us a complete sense of orientation in the field and determining where the sound comes from. Clarity was also very well. 

Call of Duty: WW2

Sound-wise, it’s definitely like it should be, or we can say – even better. Here, positioning is accurate – we can locate sounds from any direction (up and down) without problems. In short, determining changes in the distance from the sound source wasn’t problematic at all. 

Project Cars 3

It was a pure pleasure to use this headset here. Racing games are very entertaining and also dependent on the quality of the sound. Bass reproduction was crucial here, and the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless didn’t disappoint, thanks to quality 40 mm neodymium audio drivers. 

DiRT Rally 2.0

Rally cars at their finest. DiRT Rally is a very demanding simulation (maybe not as much as Richard Burns Rally, but not that far off). The sound is very realistic, and you can almost feel the engine’s roar and grind of the transmission. The Arctis Nova 7 Wireless did excellent in DiRT Rally 2.0; you won’t miss any essential sounds.

Grand Theft Auto V

GTA 5 is diverse; some funky tunes can benefit from the headset’s rich bass reproduction. The two 40 mm neodymium drivers make a difference in this game, as there’s no lack of bass, which is crucial here. You can almost feel like you’re really in Ludendorff or Paleto Bay.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

All ambient sounds are reproduced in the desired way. The stage is sufficient for this game. Weapon strikes sound realistic. 

Forza Horizon 5

This is an excellent open-world racing game. Not a simulator, but it brings a lot of fun. The sound of engines (not only yours) is easily distinguished, and the positioning is accurate. It can make a difference here during some more competitive races.
