Tillman by Father John Misty and Granite by Sleep Token came through loud and clear. More tame genres had better success, as songs like Mr. While no rival for some of the best headphones on the market, this PS5 gaming headset does a more-than-serviceable job. Listening to music with the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless is decent. Games where music is more prominent were a particular highlight, including Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, especially in the mix between gunfire and pumping Synthwave techno. The nuances in the audio drivers picked up the spatial sounds in games like The Last of Us and Dead Space making for an immersive experience. Gaming with the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless has been excellent. There are not many PS5 headsets that can do that, making this a more premium option than Sony’s official offering. Like the excellent PS5 Pulse 3D headset, the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless takes full advantage of the TempestTech PS5 3D Audio, so some of the best PS5 games support the enhanced virtual surround sound technology. In my testing, I have to say that’s right on the money, meaning you won’t have to wait around long to get a gaming session in. SteelSeries claims you can get a full three hours of playback from just 15 minutes of charging. One particular feature I’ve really been enjoying is the quick charging via USB-C. That’s because you can expect around 30 hours of playback when plugged into your PS5 instead of the roughly 24 hours from the 2020 model. The biggest difference that separates the older SteelSeries 7P from the 7P+ is this new model's greatly improved battery life. That’s unsurprising, as this version features the same 40mm custom neodymium drivers of the company’s flagship models, such as the SteelSeries Arctis Pro. I’ve reviewed countless different models over the years, and the sound quality and versatility of this one aren’t easily rivaled. Gaming on the PS5 with the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ Wireless is one of the best headset experiences ever.
