So much of what the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2 does, it does right. Its build quality is outstanding, having a thickness and solidity that most wireless headsets lack. Its stretchy headband, as on pretty much all SteelSeries headsets, successfully tricked my entire skull into thinking it was lighter than it is.

The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is our choice of the best gaming headset for those seeking a premium, high-end setup. SteelSeries may have just announced the even fancier Arctis Nova Elite (review incoming - I'm wearing it as I type), but the Nova Pro remains the more obvious choice if you're not looking to splash too much cash.
