The short version
The Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 is a closed-back headset with 40 mm drivers, a retractable ClearCast mic and simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, so a phone can stay connected during play. SteelSeries rates it at up to 54 hours and adds a companion app with EQ presets. Reviews of its console variants praised comfort and customization, but note a plasticky build and app-gated features. It suits PC and PlayStation players who want one headset for games and calls, and it has no ANC.
