The Nova 7X and Nova 7X Gen 2 headset connects wirelessly through the included 2.4 GHz dongle.

🔌 Setup

  1. Plug the dongle into any USB port on your Xbox using the included USB-A cable.

  2. Make sure the dongle switch is set to “Xbox” mode.

  3. Power on your headset — you’ll hear a connection chime, and the dongle LED will turn solid once connected.

You’re ready to play - no extra pairing needed!

🌍 Multi-Platform Mode

The same dongle can be switched from “Xbox” to “USB”, allowing you to use your headset on:

  • PC

  • PlayStation

  • Nintendo Switch

  • Android devices

  • Meta Quest

💡 Tip: If you ever experience connection issues, try re-pairing the headset in the SteelSeries GG or, if you have the Gen 2 version - via the Companion App.
