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