Our Verdict

Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless [7, 7P, 7X]

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless headphones offer greater versatility than the Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. Both sets are comfortable, but the SteelSeries boast a superior boom microphone. They also feature Bluetooth support, which is convenient for simultaneously connecting to a console and a phone, and they can be used with a wired connection through their 1/8" TRRS cable.
