However, this will bring your head closer to the metal frame headband, so be sure to find a happy medium between vacant space and reduced clamping pressure. If you are a gamer that doesn't like a headset that has a tight clamping pressure, you can use the elastic band to adjust the size. When wearing the Arctis 7, you experience a breathable headset that has a very snug fit. Contrary to the last point, the Arctis 7 only weighs 9.9 ounces, which only speaks volumes for the build quality I experienced. There was no creaking when I flexed the headset, and I noticed that when I was holding the headset in my hand, there is a nice weighty feel, making the headset feel less 'cheap'. While the aforementioned was certainly a problem for me, I can't knock the general build quality of the headset as it feels very premium. The result of having a larger head is feeling the metal headband on top of my head. For some people, I can imagine that they would experience no problems due to their head size, but I, unfortunately, think this wouldn't be the case for people with larger heads as there isn't a lot of vertical room. SteelSeries is unique when it comes to its headbands, and the elastic strap that is featured on the Arctis 7 and many other Arctis models is something that the company is certainly known for. While these are certainly positives in my book, there were a few issues I have found throughout my experience. There is no RGB lighting, and the construction of the headset makes it orientate to wrapping around the user's head firmly. SteelSeries has opted for a very sleek and minimalistic design choice with the Arctis 7 as the headset doesn't really have any features that could necessarily catch someone's eye. * Prices last scanned on at 8:44 pm CDT - prices may not be accurate, click links above for the latest price.
