I really like my steelseries artics 7. Battery last so long, I sometimes forget when I last recharge them.
Also amazing reach, I can go anywhere in my house while keep on listening.
I use wired keyboard and mouse, because they're always in the same place and the cords don't bother me.
If its the version where you can easily slide off and on the battery to replace it and charge the second one on the station, then its nice and I want one, they are nowhere to find and purchase.
If its the one that needs to open up a cap to change the battery, and only works with Windows only Sign-in Drivers then its the worst headset I ever come across.
I just forgot which one got the name because its the same company and series. (Maybe "Nova" were the worse ones, they are newer)
I think you can't easily open up to replace the battery. But i don't see the need for that. If it needs to be charged when i need it, just can plug in the power cord and keep on using is.
Don't ever had any problems with the drivers, i just plug it, first time windows need it to set it up and worked great. With steelseries own software I also don't have any problems. Only downside is that if you want better quality audio, you need to open the software.
I'm constantly unplugging and plugging in the receiver between my pc and ps5 without any problems.
Yeah no, I would recommend this to noone because you are literally forced to get an Account and let the software run constantly just to get pro feature, meanwhile you pay a heck ton of money to it. Huge downgrade, can't use it with 90% of different devices because only Windows 10 and 11 is supported, no Xbox, Playstation, Phone, Linux PC or Steam Deck. Except you love bad Audio for which the price is not worth for.
A friend had the older ones that had the exact features but the software is purely on the Station. Additionally on the older ones you could slide the batteries in and out which seem to have a very satisfying feeling. (I guess swapping increased from 2 seconds to 60seconds for the newer ones?)
Found the post on which I created my opinion on the headset. https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/v9kq26/steelseries_nova_pro_wireless_linux_and_bad/
Yeah I've got the same one and have had no issues with it (besides being too lazy about charging it and having to quickly plug in mid-meeting which is just user error).
It's charge lasts a while but I only use it for a few hours at a time max so maybe that's more of why I only have to charge it once every week or so.
Nice to be able to walk around most of the house without disconnecting and I haven't noticed any latency issues.
