The 2.4GHz USB-C wireless dongle for the Xbox is bigger than the PlayStation's, and it has a switch to pop between PC and Xbox modes. It all comes down to the size of your dongle. Actually, the 7X is compatible with all platforms - Xbox (through Series X and S), PC, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation (through PS5) - while the 7P won't work on an Xbox. We hope that's helped you snag a new headset that you can use for all of your gaming needs!

The last time we saw the Arctis 7X drop down this far in price was back during Amazon Prime Day last year where it dropped to £100, so it's only a fiver more than its lowest-ever-price right now. You also get the retractable Discord-certified ClearCast bidirectional microphone that is easy to get out when you're playing with friends, and the ski-goggle style adjustable headband that makes SteelSeries' headsets so comfortable to wear over those long gaming sessions. You can actually use the 7X with a PS4 or PS5 too, you just won't be able to use the Chatmix function which lets you balance the game and chat audio by using the dial on the headset. The Arctis 7X features a 24-hour battery life so you can go an entire day on a single charge if you need to, and all of your audio is transmitted over a 2.4 GHz wireless connection with the USB-C dongle. The Arctis 7 headsets used to be some of Digital Foundry's favourite gaming headsets until they were dethroned by SteelSeries' newer Arctis Nova Pro headsets, but they're still fantastic options for their respective consoles and and much cheaper than the newer Nova Pros especially with this discount. It's normal price is £175/$150, but it's currently discounted on the SteelSeries store by £60/$50:Īrctis 7X Wireless- £117/$100 at SteelSeries That's the case with the SteelSeries Arctis 7X wireless gaming headset, designed for Xbox and PC users and compatible with phones thanks to the USB dongle. Finding the right gaming headset can be a tricky task, so it's good that lots of wireless headsets nowadays use 2.4 GHz wireless connections and USB-C dongles so we can use them on consoles, PCs, and phones, so that when you do find the right headset it's the only one you'll need.
