Our Verdict
Logitech G933 Wireless
SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless 2017
The SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless 2017 are better wireless headphones than the Logitech G933 Wireless. Their build quality is better, they leak less sound, and their battery is much better. The Arctis also sound much better than the G933 and have a superior microphone. That said, the Logitech G933 have three mappable buttons on the cups that can be programmed in the Logitech Gaming Software to trigger specific commands, which is a great feature. If you prefer gaming headphones that have better performance out-of-the-box, get the SteelSeries, but if you prefer to spend time deeply customizing your headset to perfection, consider the Logitech.
