The volume slider and power button on the right earcup make it easy to adjust settings when out and about. The flexible earcups, which let you flatten the device during carriage, add to this convenience. While slightly larger than some headphones, the Arctis 7 is still portable enough to stash away in your daypack to use during a commute. Wireless and surround-sound functionality need the phones to be powered, but normal listening through the 3.5mm output doesn't.

The power button and chat volume slider are on the right earcup, while the regular volume control is on the left-a micro USB port for charging and a 3.5mm audio jack. Basically, you get to 'customize' a fit according to your comfort. The flexible headband that adjusts itself with velcro straps is only one example. The overall appearance of this headset is sleek, sophisticated, and streamlined for maximum ease of use. Last but not least, battery life varies on each pair of headphones (the SteelSeries 7 provides the longest battery life, and the Pro has the shortest).

The primary differences are in connectivity (the SteelSeries 7 has no Bluetooth), weight (the Pro is the lightest by far), mic control (the Arctis 9 comes with adjustable levels), and sound (the frequency ranges of these headphones increase in ascending order while the virtual surround sound systems are different on each as well).

In summary, the general quality of all three headphones maintains very high standards. From the Arctis 1's slender price that offers high quality on a budget to the feature-laden finesse of the Pro, the options are broad between the three of them. This series comes with a remarkable variety of options catering to multiple needs and preferences. For passionate gamers and multi-media enthusiasts looking for a pair of wireless headphones to up their audio game while also enhancing digital communication experiences (for zoom meetings and the likes), the SteelSeries 7, 9, and Pro are heavy-duty contenders to take a look at.
