I had to lower the volume slightly to get the hiss sound to diminish. However, one negative with the 7+ is that I consistently noticed a slight hiss sound when I played each music track on full blast. I was also able to use the equalizer to adjust the bass and treble up or down and make each track sound its best. I could hear the lyrics, bass and mids, and nothing was overpowering. The Arctis 7+ sounded vivid and clean when playing each of these tracks.
I choose these tracks because they have a variety of low, mid, and high tones. In Call of Duty: Cold War on PC, I could easily hear where weapon fire was coming from, which helped me determine a shooter’s actual in-game location.įor music, the benchmark test songs I frequently use when evaluating headphones and headsets are “Titanium” by David Guetta featuring Sia, “Comedown” by Bush, and “Chains” by Nick Jonas. Music never overpowered speech in-game, and the sound profile truly enhanced the gaming experience.
I can even hear the direction from which a sound is approaching, given the clear audio and Sonar feature (more on that later). Audio is vivid and clean, and when in-game, I can easily hear far-in-the-background noises like raindrops and footsteps and up-close sounds like speech and gunfire. The Arctis 7+ boasts exceptional sound, with 40 mm neodymium drivers, a frequency response of 20 to 20,000 Hz to cover a range of lows, mids and highs, plus a high sensitivity rating of 98dB (meaning the headphones can get relatively loud with little power). I’m happy to report that the 7+ does not fall in that category. Even if the headset sounds great, few people will want to wear a headset that causes pain or discomfort. If a gaming headset is uncomfortable (think pressing too hard on the ears, digging into the side of the head, not fitting properly), it can completely ruin the experience.
