Old Arctis 7 - What Should I Replace It With & Where To Get It?

Hey, made a similar post like this a few days ago, but I wanted to come back to this now that I know a bit more. I mean to replace my old Arctis 7 headset with a new one since the battery is dying. I like my Arctis 7 for its simplicity, comfort, and the chatmix feature that combines game and chat audio, all on a single device. However, I'm not sure if they still produce this model.

I was considering getting an Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, but from what I've seen, it seems like a bunch of extra features that I don't really need, as stuff like the chatmix was done on the headset itself before, and maintaining the charge on the headset was never really a problem before since I could just charge it before I went to sleep. Also, after listening to some recordings made with it, I'm realizing just how bad the audio is, so the microphone is making me lean away from using it (and probably look for a different mic to set up instead).

Am I being a bit hasty with the Nova Pro Wireless, should I try to find another Arctis 7 (and where would be the best places to find it if so), or is there something else from Steelseries that might scratch what I need that's better and/or more affordable?

(Also, any microphone recomendations for better audio quality, Steelseries or otherwise, would be appreciated)

Quick Question On Arctis Nova Pro Wireless - Discord/Game Audio Split?

One of the features I liked about the Arctis 7 was that I could have both Discord and game audio on at the same time, adjusting them separately. Since I am getting a replacement, I'm tempted to get the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, but I'm not totally sure it has a similar feature. I know it can connect to multiple devices, but I wasn't sure if that was the same as the feature I was used to.

Hoping to get a more definitive answer just so I'm sure.

What Headset Is This & What's A Replacement?

I got this headset a few years back, but I am not sure what model it is. I think it's an Arctis Wireless, but that's about it. The battery is dying, though, as it can barely hold a charge now, so I'm hoping to find a model that replaces it.

The big thing I like about it is the two audio tracks, so I can have both game and Discord audio at the same time, so I'm hoping its replacement is similar.

I think the Arctis 7+ is very similar to this, but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if the Pro has the twin tracks too.
