The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless are solid mid-range headphones that don't compromise performance for price. They aren't as comfortable for long gaming marathons since the headphones are stiff. They have a detachable mic and an integrated mic, which is nice if you prefer a more casual look. If you don't plan on using it, you might prefer the Astro A30 Wireless. However, the boom mic is retractable but not detachable. The app also has a virtual surround sound feature with a slider for adjusting the soundstage size, which can help make your audio seem more immersive.

If you prefer a different sound, they work with companion software that includes a parametric EQ and presets for sound customization. Voices are also present and clear but harsh. Their sound profile adds some boom to your audio, which can help bring out sound effects like footsteps. They're comfortable enough to wear for hours for most people and have a great overall mic performance, so you'll sound clear during online games, even with some noise in the background. Their GameDAC Gen 2 provides a low-latency USB connection with Xbox and puts controls like EQ settings and channel mixing at your fingertips while you play.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro for Xbox don't have wireless connectivity like the Audeze Maxwell Wireless, but if you don't mind wired headphones, they offer a solid performance for Xbox gamers at a lower price. Unfortunately, these headphones are on backorder, so it can be challenging to get a pair. The headphones support Bluetooth and multi-device pairing, so you can hear audio from your phone or computer and your Xbox simultaneously, as long as you connect via wired USB or analog. You can also use the app to toggle sidetone on and off and adjust the level. The detachable boom mic also has an excellent overall performance, so your voice is clear and understandable to teammates, even with noise in the background. The battery lasts for around 77 hours of continuous use, and they have an auto-off timer to help conserve power when not in use. They offer low latency over non-Bluetooth wireless, so you won't notice lip-sync issues while gaming. Their companion software features a few EQ presets for sound customization, and they support Dolby Atmos, a virtual surround sound feature that helps create a more immersive listening experience.

Their planar magnetic drivers create a more extended bass response and a wider passive soundstage than headphones that use dynamic drivers, like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro. They're very well-built and have a neutral default sound profile that accurately reproduces sound effects like footsteps as well as instruments and vocals in your audio. These wireless headphones come in separate Xbox and PlayStation variants, so you'll need to pick the right version to use with Xbox. The best Xbox headset that we've tested is the Audeze Maxwell Wireless.
