The headband can be adjusted to accommodate various head sizes, and when dialed in properly offers a very snug fit without causing any discomfort. In fact, the headset almost floats above your head with its suspended design. Both headsets feature the signature Ski Goggle Headband that offers extreme comfort without putting much pressure on the top of your head. Much of the design from the original Arctis 7 remains unchanged, and the Arctis 7X and Arctis 7P are virtually identical to one another, aside from a few minor differences. Both headsets include a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable, allowing you to plug the dongle into just about any USB device. The dongle included with the Arctis 7X is a bit larger to allow for Xbox wireless audio compatibility and features a toggle for “Xbox” or “USB” while the Arctis 7P does not feature a toggle. So, between the two headsets, the Arctis 7X covers all your bases, while the Arctis 7P is a bit more limited with its compatibility. Of course, you can plug either headset into a compatible device with a 3.5mm auxiliary output for audio listening, as well. The Arctis 7X covers all your bases, while the Arctis 7P is a bit more limited with its compatibility The Arctis 7P is designed for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 but also works with Nintendo Switch (in docked and handheld mode), gaming PC, and Android devices (with a USB-C connector). The Arctis 7X is designed for Xbox Series X and S, but also works with Xbox One X and S, PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch (both docked and in handheld mode), and Android devices (with a USB-C connector). The battery life has been improved a bit from the original Arctis 7 headset now featuring up to 24 hours of wireless playtime (up from 20 hours previously), giving you that extra bump for extended play sessions.Ī major difference between the two headsets is compatibility. Both gaming headsets include a USB-C dongle adapter that allows for lossless and low-latency 2.4GHz wireless audio up to 40 feet (12m) away. The SteelSeries Arctis 7X and Arctis 7P feature the same S1 40mm audio drivers as the original Arctis 7 headset, as well as DTS Headphone:X v2.0 for spatial surround sound audio (although surround sound is not supported on PlayStation consoles as this feature is still locked to Sony’s first-party USB headsets).
