Gaming hardware brand SteelSeries has just unveiled the Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2, an update to the excellent SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7.
The Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 is now available in one of three configurations, each compatible with specific systems: PlayStation, Xbox and PC. All three cost $199.99 / £179.99 / AU$199.99 and can be picked up from the official SteelSeries website or regional online retailers. The Nova 7 Gen 2 is also compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 via Bluetooth.
SteelSeries claims that the Arctis Nova Gen 2 offers 40% improved battery life over the original model, now up to 54 hours on a single charge, according to the product’s press release. If accurate, that would put it among the best wireless gaming headsets in terms of pure battery longevity.
The new headset also features dual 2.4GHz and Bluetooth audio, a ClearCast Gen 2 mic, and neodymium drivers that support spatial audio – all of which should make for a pretty exciting high-end gaming headset experience.
Plus, if you download the Arctis app, you’ll have access to predefined audio profiles for over 200 games. At least one of your favorites will likely make this list, so having a tailor-made audio profile could breathe new life into your next game, or make it even better if you’re checking out a title for the first time.
The Nova 7 has been one of our favorite headsets, especially for console gamers, in recent years, so this update is great in our opinion and should make for a great headset.
