Best Headset for ROG Xbox Ally X

Accessorize your ROG Xbox Ally X with the best headset for home and travel.

This is quite the powerhouse of a handheld device. With its stunning 120Hz Full HD display, next-gen AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor, and massive 80Wh battery, the Ally X demands a headset that can keep up with its elite-tier specs and extended playtime.

But just because your ROG Xbox Ally X is godlike, it doesn't mean your audio will be. Not without a good headset. And if you already spent some hard-earned cash on this, you might as well go all the way and secure an amazing experience for you, whether you travel with it or chill on the couch.

What's the hottest and best headset from SteelSeries that you absolutely need for this device? It's none other than Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2.

Also a very important note: you do not need specifically the Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Gen 2. It does not need to be the "X" version to work with the ROG Xbox Ally X. Any of them will work.

Here's a couple of reasons why:

1. Dual Wireless: Game and Stay Connected, Simultaneously

The biggest game-changer for any handheld player is the ability to do more without compromise. The Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 is built with Simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, a feature perfectly tailored for the modern gamer:

Lag-Free Gaming on the Ally X: Use the included compact USB-C dongle to get lossless, low-latency 2.4GHz Quantum 2.0 Wireless audio for your game. This is the gold standard for competitive, crystal-clear game sound—crucial for those fast-paced titles on the Ally X's 120Hz display.
Seamless Multitasking: At the exact same time, connect your phone via Bluetooth 5.0 to take a call, listen to a podcast, or chat with friends on Discord without missing a single sound cue in your game. No pausing, no reconnecting, just pure, uninterrupted immersion. This is really important when traveling on being on the go in general; you will always have your phone with you.

This feature alone is a huge reason why you need this headset. It's such a seamless comfort once your phone is paired with the headset.

2. Great Battery Life

The ROG Xbox Ally X boasts an impressive 80Wh battery, giving you hours of serious gaming on the go. You need a headset that can go the distance, and the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 delivers with a staggering 50+ hour battery life on a single charge.

This is greatly improved over the original Arctis Nova 7 Wireless. So this is a perfect chance to nab this headset!

Lasts More than the Full Ride: Whether you’re grinding through an RPG or deep into a marathon session of your favorite AAA title, you don't want any interruptions, whether you're on a long flight, airport wait, or drive. Same with gaming on your couch or bed.
Fast-Charging Freedom: Even if you forget to charge, a quick 15-minute USB-C Fast Charge delivers a remarkable 6 hours of playtime, getting you back into the action almost instantly.

3. Audio Tuned for Victory with Just a Few Taps

Rest assured that your audio will be pristine and high-quality. The Nova Acoustic System in the Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2 features Neodymium Magnetic Drivers that deliver an ultra-detailed soundscape. The Gen 2 headset is also compatible with the Arctis Companion App.

Pinpoint Precision: Hear every footstep, reload, and distant explosion with incredible clarity. This precision is a competitive edge. Just apply a game-specific preset with a couple of taps in the app, for games like Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, Fortnite, and many more.

If you're not playing shooters, these EQ presence still enhance the sound a great deal, upping the immersion.

Deep Customization: Tons of settings are available at your fingertips with just the app. You can also have separate EQ presets for music, so you can boost that Deep Bass whenever you're just listening to your favorite tracks.
