(Opens in a new window) Read Our Anker Soundcore VR P10 Reviewīesides the 3.5mm cable and transmitter, the Arctis 7+ comes with a USB-C-to-USB-A cable for connecting the transmitter to any compatible device with a USB-A port. The Bluetooth-less transmitter is required for wireless use, but you can use a 3.5mm wired connection with the included cable. That said, the transmitter blocks the PlayStation 5's USB-A port if you plug it into the USB-C port on the system.

The transmitter measures nearly an inch wide and just over half an inch deep, so it’s relatively compact for plugging into a phone or Switch. The Arctis 7+ connects wirelessly to a PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or an Android phone (with a USB-C port) via a flat, rectangular USB transmitter. The mix wheel is effectively the only difference between the Arctis 7+ and the PlayStation-focused Arctis 7P+ variant both headsets connect to the same devices, and have nearly identical hardware, but the Arctis 7P+’s right wheel adjusts mic sidetone instead of game/voice balance. The power button and a game/voice mix wheel sit on the right earcup. Along the left earcup's bottom edge sits a micro USB port for charging the headset, a proprietary connector for the included four-pole 3.5mm cable, a volume wheel, and a mic mute button. The left earcup holds the built-in boom microphone that retracts inside the earcup when not in use and features a red indicator LED on the capsule to let you know when it’s muted.
