Sonar also brings virtual surround sound, which Engine doesn’t offer for the Arctis 7+ Wireless. Where Engine’s 10-band EQ and EQ presets are fairly generic, Sonar allows for more specific frequency adjustments and brings game- and genre-specific EQ profiles. Some of Engine’s features, like mic volume adjustment and EQ features, are also covered by Sonar, but to a much greater degree of granularity. SteelSeries Sonar is currently in beta, but it works with any gaming headset (SteelSeries or otherwise) and brings a bunch of features. The SteelSeries Arctis 9 feels great and sounds good, although it’s quite expensive, even taking all of its features into account. However, with the release of the SteelSeries Arctis 7+ Wireless, SteelSeries decided to launch a replacement for Engine called Sonar (even though Engine is still totally usable). Where SteelSeries Engine used to be a standalone service, it’s now a part of GG, and continues to work as straightforwardly as always-there are options for headphone EQ, power saving functionality, mic volume, and more, all laid out on a single page. Thanks to virtual surround sound, you hear exactly where your opponents are coming.

The cups are well padded too, with a breathable fabric covering keeping your ears cool during. SteelSeries GG is the new one-stop-shop for your SteelSeries software needs. With this wireless headset, youre not bothered by cables during gaming. It’s a nice, tidy set up, and keeping the two dials on separate cups helps to avoid confusion mid-game.
