Officially SteelSeries is calling this model of the Arctis 7 the Arctis 7+. It comes in two different variations, which are the Arctis 7+ and the Arctis 7P+. According to the SteelSeries website, the battery life has increased to where it can last up to 30 hours. Battery life will vary from user to user of course. And how long it actually lasts for you can depend on plenty of factors. Like how often you enable and disable some of its features, adjust the volume and activate the mic.
The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ also comes with USB-C
Another one of the improvements is the inclusion of USB-C. Compared to the micro-USB connections that the older models still use. Not only is this connection type more secure, but it should help the headset charge back up faster too. SteelSeries doesn’t seem to list how long it takes to get a full charge. But it is claiming that a 15-minute quick charge will give you around 3 hours of battery life. Which is more than enough for some players to log a decent gaming session. In addition to the USB-C charging port, the headset also comes with SteelSeries’ USB-C low-latency adapter. So you can use it with multiple devices and get low-latency audio for gaming. This means it works with the Nintendo Switch, PC, Android and iOS, and any other device that has a USB-C port to plug it into.
Both headsets work with PS5
Both headsets were also designed to be compatible with PS5. Although, only the Arctis 7P+ supports the PS5’s Tempest 3D Audio Tech. So that’s the one you want to go with if you plan to use this headset with the PS5. As it will no doubt provide a better experience. There’s no difference in cost, but you can pick up the 7P+ in black or white whereas the 7+ only comes in black. When it comes to design, the headsets are pretty much unchanged from other Arctis headsets. So you get the same comfy ear cushions, sleek matte colors, and the ski google adjustable headband.
