Where I think the Arctis 7X really shines is comfort. It appears that the chat mix dial only works on Xbox systems, but everything else is functional on other devices. So, you can use the 7X with your Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Android device, PC, Nintendo Switch, and even Playstation consoles. The dongle has a unique shape, but that’s because it is also made to snap on to the USB-C port on mobile devices. While it lacks Bluetooth connectivity like the older and more expensive $200 9X, the SteelSeries Arctis 7X is a more universal gaming headset thanks to the wireless dongle. 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. So if you want a comfortable headset that also has great battery life, the SteelSeries Arctis 7X is a solid choice.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. It also includes a Share Port cable which is a proprietary audio jack that feeds into a 3.5mm audio jack. You get a female USB Type-C to male USB Type-A adapter and USB Type-A to micro-USB cable for charging. The SteelSeries ships with a selection of wires for your connectivity needs.

That's right in line with SteelSeries Arctis 7X's rated battery of 24 hours.
