Rotating 90 degrees, the cans can lay flat on your collar bones when not in use, which is always preferred in my opinion. Over on the right earcup is the power button and the chat mix dial. On the left ear cup is the retractable microphone, micro-USB cable, 3.5mm port, mobile cable jack, volume dial, and a mic mute button. The sizing on the headphones can be adjusted with the strap. A flexible metal headband keeps the structure while a ski-goggle-like strap rests on your head. Large earcups hold all of the controls around the perimeter of the cans. The overall size and shape of the earcups look identical to the Arctis 9X. Right in line with other headphones in the Arctis lineup, the 7X has a relatively simple overall design. When I look at my Xbox Series X, and note the cable hanging out of it just to attach the receiver makes me wonder if there couldn't have been a better solution.Snuggly housed in simple packaging, the Arctis 7X also comes with the USB-C wireless dongle, USB-C to USB-A extension cable, micro-USB charging cable, and a 4-pole 3.5mm audio cable. The elongated design is clearly meant for a smartphone, which is fine, but it means that it won't fit directly into a laptop or other device without using the cable, which just seems like an odd solution. I do have a minor bone to pick with its shape, though. As more of us than ever take serious gaming on the go, thanks to an influx of higher-quality mobile experiences, having a headset that can do multiple platforms wirelessly at once, without Bluetooth is a great feature. Indeed, the 2.4GHz receiver is far superior to Bluetooth, and there just aren't many wireless headsets out there that use 2.4GHz radio, instead of Bluetooth. At this price, I think there are either equal, or better headsets out there for Xbox and PC, unless you plan to use the 2.4GHz receiver extensively with your smartphone. but also suggests that it's significantly better than other similarly priced headsets out there. In the UK it hits £160, which, not only doesn't give it parity with the $150 price point in the U.S. Perhaps my biggest gripe with the SteelSeries Arctis 7X is its price.
