Features At $550, it’s as expensive as many home theater kits, whether it’s soundbar setups for your TV or even full surround sound for your game room. It has the clarity of sound I’ve come to expect from a system tuned by Steelseries audio wizards, and it brings a level of clarity and detail to even the most confusing scenes, whether I’m gaming or just watching a movie.īut let’s be real: the Steelseries Arena 9 setup doesn’t come cheap. Sonar also brings virtual surround sound, which Engine doesn’t offer for the Arctis 7+ Wireless.Let’s not bury the lede: the Steelseries Arena 9 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker Kit is, quite simply, beautiful. 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. 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. SteelSeries GG is the new one-stop-shop for your SteelSeries software needs.
