If you’re looking for early Black Friday deals, consider getting the SteelSeries Arctis 7P/7X gaming headset. Whether you have a PS5, Xbox Series X or Nintendo Switch, these wireless headphones can provide great sound and a comfortable fit. Right now, you can get it for a substantial $60 off, but once it’s gone, it might be gone for good.
First things first: You can buy the SteelSeries Arctis 7P for $89 (opens in a new tab). You can also buy the SteelSeries Arctis 7X for $89 (opens in a new tab); they are on two separate pages, but they are extremely similar devices. SteelSeries 7P is optimized for PS5, but also works with PC and Switch; The SteelSeries 7X works with all of the above, plus Xbox consoles. All you have to do is flip a switch on the USB-C wireless dongle. Thus, the 7X is the best investment if you own an Xbox console or plan to buy one. But the 7P has a smaller dongle and a color scheme that matches the PS5, if that matters to you more.
If you’re wondering why SteelSeries is selling one of its best headsets at such a steep discount, there’s one small problem: the 7P/7X is an older model, and one that probably won’t be on the market for much longer. In recent years, SteelSeries has released the updated SteelSeries Arctis 7P Plus, as well as the all-new SteelSeries Arctis Nova line. The newer headphones boast slightly better sound and significantly better battery life.
However, there’s still a lot to like about the original 7P/7X, especially at under $90. It’s still extremely comfortable. It still provides more than 20 hours of battery life. And it still delivers good gaming sound, which isn’t all that different from the sound of newer models, according to our tests. Gaming headsets of this caliber aren’t usually available for under $100, so grab this one while you can.
