Absolutely love this purchase. I use them every day for work 5x a week and they feel comfortable throughout and work flawlessly for about 3 days off a full charge. Sound quality is perfect for phone calls off my work PC and it switches to a Bluetooth connection for music off my phone with the click of a button and over to my Xbox afterwork with little effort. Highly recommended.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless Gaming Headset has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell the build quality was on another level—lightweight, comfortable, and clearly designed with long gaming sessions in mind. The ear cushions are super soft, and the adjustable headband gives a perfect fit without ever feeling tight. Sound-wise, this headset blew me away. The audio is incredibly crisp, with deep bass and clear highs that make everything—from footsteps in shooters to dialogue in RPGs—stand out. The Nova Acoustic System really shines, and the surround sound adds a whole new layer of immersion on Xbox Series X|S. The wireless connection is rock-solid. Zero lag, zero dropouts, and the battery life easily pushes through multiple sessions without needing to recharge. The built-in mic is also fantastic—friends say I sound clean and clear, without background noise. Overall, the Arctis Nova 5X has exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for a headset that delivers top-tier comfort, excellent sound, and reliable wireless performance, this one is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

Headset is solid, very comfortable for long sessions and very good battery life. I like the multi purpose aspect, Xbox versions are always better than PlayStation because these can be used on PlayStation but PlayStation versions cant be used on Xbox.
