Choose it if…
- You want game sound and voice chat in one headset.
- You are happy to check your voice with your chat app’s mic test instead of hearing yourself continuously in headphones.
- You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.
Before choosing this model
- This is not the Xbox edition: SteelSeries sells Xbox versions of the Nova 7 separately.
- Bluetooth carries music and calls from your phone; game chat goes through the dongle.
- Buy the exact platform edition. A different dongle or console edition can change the chat connection.
- Use the headset microphone in the way you connect it. A desk stand or mic arm does not apply to this wearable setup.
- Check the included cable against the available data port. Add only the adapters or headphones your chosen path needs.
