Our Verdict

SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless

SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless

The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless are a bit more customizable than the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless. The Arctis 7+ support SteelSeries GG as well as Sonar software, the latter of which is integrated as a tab within GG. It offers a parametric EQ and presets as well as a variety of levels for chat and mic control. Unlike the Arctis 7P+, the Arctis 7+ have a channel mixing wheel instead of a sidetone wheel so you can adjust the level of in-game audio and chat audio. The Arctis 7P+ have slightly lower non-Bluetooth wireless latency.
