The audio quality is also very good indeed, especially for gaming. You can also create profiles that can be set to auto-launch with certain applications. Here you can set the equaliser, turn on the DTS Headphone:X 7.1, preview the microphone, and adjust levels. If you want to tweak settings at all, this is the screen for you. This is a really nice feature, as sometimes when gaming you don't want your friends speaking constantly, especially in a 2v1 clutch on CS:GO! I used the Chatmix with Teamspeak, but it also works with Discord and Mumble.

On the right earcup, there is the power button and a Chatmix dial which allows you to control whether you hear more game audio or more voice audio from your comms. Okay, they weren't as crisp as when running them through an external DAC/amp, but considering they are being powered by a wireless device that's also outputting through its own speakers, it was rather impressive. We tried it with the Philips Fidelio X2s, the Audio-Technica ATH MSR7s, and Sennheiser Momentum 2.0i, and they all sounded fine. What is most impressive is that it can actually power mid-range headphones to a good level. We really liked this feature - basically, you can plug another headset or speakers into the headphones, and you will be able to hear everything that the Arctis 7 can hear.

Most of these are self-explanatory and work as expected, but one thing we'd like to bring attention to is the headphone share jack. On the left earcup, you have the micro-USB port, a 3.5mm headphone share jack, the mini 8-pin port, a volume up and down wheel, and a microphone mute button.
