You can keep track of its remaining battery life through the SteelSeries Engine 3 software. Of course, the headset can be charged and used at the same time. Even if you're gaming for 6 hours per day, you won't have to charge it more than twice per week. That's a strange thing to say, seeing I was able to regularly use it for about 25 hours before having to connect it to a USB port in order to charge it. Good job, SteelSeries!īattery LifeSteelSeries claims that the Arctis 7 can offer up to 15 hours of battery life. The way it's implemented on the Arctis 7 is even better - you won't have to look for it around the table, and you'll end up using it even more.
The Arctis 5 I reviewed a couple weeks ago also offered it, but as a small external device. I'm absolutely positive I'm going to miss it on other headsets, and that's as big of a compliment as I can give it.
It's fantastically useful, and I truly enjoyed the practicality it offered me in my everyday virtual warfare. To adjust the volume, you still need to use the appropriate dial located on the left ear cup.ĬhatMix Dial is one of those things you don't realize you need until you get it. Do keep in mind that it doesn't increase or lower the absolute volume level of the sound - it just changes the volume ratio between two "devices". With all that in mind, what ChatMix Dial does is to simply adjust the volume ratio between what it sees as two separate playback devices. The OS doesn't care that both sounds will be played through the same physical device. By doing so, you essentially convince your OS that you use one device for voice playback and a different one for playback of other sounds. All you have to do is make the SteelSeries Arctis 5 Game your default playback device to then fire up your voice chat app of choice (Discord, TeamSpeak, Skype, etc.), go to its audio settings, and select the SteelSeries Arctis 7 Chat as the preferred playback device. One of them is called the SteelSeries Arctis 7 Chat and the other the SteelSeries Arctis 7 Game. When you connect the Arctis 7 to your PC via USB, it adds two separate devices to the list of playback devices in the Control Panel. What sorcery is being used, how does this thing manage to do what it does? It's actually quite simple.
