The Arctis 7+ works with PlayStation 5 and fully supports Tempest 3D Audio. as well as being backwards compatible with PlayStation 4. The USB-C dongle supports multi-platform compatibility. Read more about how to connect your Arctis headset to PS5.
Does the Arctis 7+ use Bluetooth?
No, it uses something better: the same gaming-grade 2.4GHz wireless platform used in the Arctis 7+ and Arctis Pro Wireless headsets. This gives you significantly better performance than Bluetooth. The audio is lossless instead of compressed for far better audio quality. It also has ultra-low latency so that you hear every sound as it happens on screen, as opposed to Bluetooth, which can have significant delays.
Does voice chat work on all phones or iPads with USB-C?
Newer iPad Pro or Air models with USB-C ports will work for both voice and audio with the Arctis 7+. Most Modern USB-C Phones do work, but some older Samsung Galaxy phones (Galaxy Note10 or earlier) only support audio and not voice functionality via USB-C due to Samsung firmware not being updated. You can still listen to games, music, and videos, but will not be able to use the headset mic for calls or voice chat.
