Steelseries Arctis 7 Vs HyperX Cloud Fight

Great audio in a video game can draw you into a digital world with bold effects, realistic details, and moving soundtracks. A great gaming headset can make that possible while you chat with your friends and teammates, too. But even the best sound quality won’t do you any good in a headset too uncomfortable to wear for long stretches.

Through this article, we will specify to two best seller headset gaming products, they are Steelseries Arctis 7 and HyperX Cloud Fight. After you got each of their specifications, you can easily make a decision to pick one of them.

STEELSERIES ARCTIS 7

The SteelSeries Arctis 7 comes with a USB dongle for wirelessly connecting to your PC, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch dock, along with a USB charging cord, and a 3.5mm cord for connecting to your phone, undocked Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One via the controller.

The SteelSeries Arctis 7 is a wireless headset that connects using a 2.4GHz wireless RF USB dongle, rather than Bluetooth. While that means the headphones are a little less versatile, you don’t need to spend as much time pairing anything, and it has no noticeable latency.

Much like the Arctis Pro, the Arctis 7 is really comfortable. After briefly adjusting the velcro suspension strap, I easily settled in for a number of comfortable gaming sessions. The strap was comfortable and elastic, applying just the right amount of pressure to keep the headset snug on my head.

However, it being wireless, walking around my apartment occasionally made it feel a little loose. These headphones are definitely designed for use while seated, despite not actually needing to be all that close to whatever you’re gaming on.

Sound

The Arctis 7 features 7.1 digital surround sound for gaming using DTS Headphone:X 2.0 tech as the Arctis Pro, offering realistic 3D audio environments in games like Overwatch and Fortnite. This implementation fell pretty well in line with my expectations for a gaming headset. The sounds of footsteps and gunfire were easy enough to place in Fortnite, as were the different vocal character cues of Overwatch.

The SteelSeries Arctis 7 offers pretty good audio output, with relative clarity across frequencies. It boosts bass, but not nearly as much as most gaming headsets. There’s also a little de-emphasis of mids around 1,500Hz.

Music sounds pretty good on these headphones, but i the sounds of strings and some cymbals can get a bit lost in tracks with a lot of bass or ambient noise.

THE HYPERX CLOUD FLIGHT

The HyperX Cloud Flight is a good wireless gaming headset. It offers a well-balanced sound quality and its decent soundstage and great imaging will allow you to pinpoint the position of your enemies accurately. They’re comfortable enough for long gaming sessions, and a bit more lightweight thanks to their plastic build.

Design

Type: Wireless over-hear (can also be used wired for audio-only)

Enclosure: Closed-Back

The HyperX Flight have a simple yet aesthetic style with a comfortable fit and easy-to-use controls. They are decently designed for mixed usage and offer features that gamers will appreciate. They have well-padded ear cups but they are not as comfortable as the Cloud II and Alpha. The main frame is metallic and should be durable enough for most use cases. The control scheme on the ear cups is simple and offers a volume wheel and a useful mic-mute button. Like most closed-back over ears, they are not very breathable or portable, but this shouldn’t be a problem if you use them at your stationary gaming station. They are also quite sleek looking with a simple all-black style with a small red accent on the ear-cup wires.

Sound

The HyperX Cloud Flight is a good sounding closed-back over-ear gaming headset. They have an excellent bass performance overall with a good and balanced mid-range and decent treble response. Unfortunately, they are a bit inconsistent and very dependent on fit, positioning and getting an airtight seal.

The isolation performance of the HyperX Cloud Flight is poor. They can block a decent amount of sound in higher frequencies, but not really in the bass range, meaning engine rumbles won’t be masked. Their leakage performance is only average, and it leaks a bit at higher volumes. However, this shouldn’t be too much of a concern if you’re getting the headset for gaming only or if you play alone in a room without too much noise.

Connectivity

This gaming headset has above-average connectivity. It shines with a very low 20ms latency for a wireless headset, which is perfect for video content like movies and gaming; it is much better than most Bluetooth connection headphones. However, they only connect wirelessly via the provided USB dongle that’s compatible with PC and PS4 but unfortunately, not with the Xbox One. You can also use them wired with the included 1/8” TRS cable but the mic will not work on all platforms when wired. On the upside, the wireless range is quite good, and you can walk around a small apartment without losing the connection. Read also: Steelseries Arctis 7 vs Hyperx Cloud 2 .

CONCLUSION

The SteelSeries Arctis 7 is extremely comfortable, sounds pretty good, and offers a slew of features. The headset is compatible with just about everything it could be, and sets up in no time.

If you’re really set on something cheaper, the HyperX Cloud Flight sounds better, but it doesn’t offer nearly as many options, and it’s wired. If you’re looking for a good wireless gaming headset with a great microphone and that is suitable for long gaming sessions, grab the HyperX Cloud Flight. They’re designed for gamers but are also versatile enough for outside use.

All in all, it depends on how you will use the headset frequently. Hope you got the decision now!
