You don’t necessarily need to break the bank to buy a gaming headset. Some products manage to establish themselves not by excelling on a single criterion, but by offering a highly coherent overall service. This is the case of the SteelSeries Nova 7 X Wireless which, despite fierce competition, has an excellent performance-price ratio in the world of video games.
Our opinion on the SteelSeries Nova 7 Wireless
This Nova 7 Wireless is very versatile. Our tests confirm it, it is a real Swiss army knife. Its greatest quality is undoubtedly its connection versatility. It is capable of simultaneously managing a wireless audio stream via its USB-C dongle and a Bluetooth connection. It therefore allows you to play on your console or PC, while taking a call or listening to music from your smartphone. The “X” version also ensures total compatibility with PC, PlayStation and Xbox environments. Her autonomymesurée à more than 30 hoursplaces him among the good students and guarantees long gaming sessions without interruption.
In terms of audio, the headset delivers faithful and well-balanced sound reproduction, suitable for both in-game immersion and music listening. While purists may notice a slight coloration in the high-mids, the very complete companion application allows you to precisely adjust the rendering to your preferences. THE comfort is also there, thanks to a contained weight and a well thought-out design. This is not, however, the perfect helmet. Voice capture is effective for communicating clearly, but does not achieve the richness of the best microphones on the market. Its main weak point, which may also be a design choice, is its poor sound insulation. It is therefore not recommended for noisy environments, but in return allows you to remain aware of your surroundings.
Ultimately, its absence of major defects, coupled with unparalleled versatility, makes the SteelSeries Nova 7 Wireless a lasting reference. It does not outperform its competitors in every area, but it achieves the feat of never really being found wanting. Sold for less than 130 euros currently, it’s a sure value.
