Although Steelseries advertises that the Arctis 7 works across PS4, Xbox One and PC, in truth there are large differences in functionality between the three machines with some not supporting surround sound or wireless operation. Regardless, this is a very comfortable headset to wear, with exceptional battery life and a good quality microphone.
