Steelseries has been making some of our favorite gaming headsets for years, and the latest Xbox option, the Arctis Nova 7X, is a great example of why. It features excellent neodymium magnetic drivers for crystal clear sound, up to 38 hours of battery life and a great microphone. It can also be used on multiple systems, including PlayStation and Switch (with a bundled USB-C dongle), and it can be connected to two devices at once. (That helps connect your phone with your gaming system.)

Arctis Nova 7X also supports Microsoft and Sony’s spatial audio technology, which can make games more immersive with simulated 360-degree sound. While it’s more expensive than mainstream headphones, you’ll notice the difference in sound with the Nova 7X, as well as its comfortable fit, thanks to a sturdy headband and memory foam ear cushions. — DH
