The clear mic helped me effortlessly meet with my team via video chat each morning. And that’s when things got weird.ĭuring Thanksgiving, the Arctis 7X was everything I hoped it would be. The night before my flight home, I plugged the Arctis 7X into my computer to charge. The earcups fold flat, so it fits easily into a backpack, and the long battery life would last a roundtrip cross-country flight, and then some. It plugged into my phone, so I could listen to music on the go. It plugged into my Switch, so I’d be able to hear my games on the plane. It plugged into my laptop, so I could work while I was away.

While it’s not a small headset, it was everything I needed for both work and play. Having a headset that works with every single one is just as convenient as it sounds.Īs such, when it was time to start traveling for the holidays, the first thing I reached for was the Arctis 7X. I live in a house with a PS5, an Xbox Series X, a Nintendo Switch, a gaming PC and an Android smartphone. The Arctis 7X, on the other hand, has a USB-C dongle with a simple switch: “USB” or “Xbox.” While the Xbox Series X doesn’t have a USB-C port, it does have multiple USB-A ports, and the Arctis 7X comes with an adapter.
