SteelSeries - Arctis Nova Pro Wired Over-the-Ear Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, PS4, Switch - Black

Great headset, the earpads can get warm but are they are replaceable, same with the headband leaving the only point of failure where the headband meets the driver enclosure which is designed well. Doesn’t creak when you twist it, and you can barely feel it while wearing it due to the headband, with new earpads (some even offer cooling) you can game for hours on end. Microphone sounds amazing, before purchasing this headset I had one which is known for having an amazing microphone as well and I’ve been told this one is better! The AI noise cancelling feature in Sonar also makes keyboard strokes silent, and most background noise is gone. The DAC is easy to learn and use and super convenient! I do wish there was a way to import EQs from SONAR since SONARS EQs which are there from install are amazing. You can also macro your microphone mute to the small button on the DAC, and there’s another microphone mute on the headset as well as a volume knob!

This headset is absolutely Amazing! First off if you got this model than obviously you know that it is WIRED. Beside all the wires and not being able to carry them around, the headset is a real upgrade to the OGs. They are light as a feather, soft as a bee. The microphone is a bit annoying to adjust but i believe that with time it will become much more adjustable. It sounds good with stock adjustments. I am sure if you mess with the equalizer you can definitely achieve your goal. It is such a cool gadget, if you are tired of recharging your headset well this is your solution to your problem. Believe me that the hype is real. I own literally all the PS5 headsets available for this console and this by far takes the crown!. It will not disappoint.

I’ve had these Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wired headphones for one year and nine months and they are the best headphones I have ever had as far as the sound quality and style and comfort. Very comfortable. Loudest headphones probably on the market. Only 2 negative things I can say is that the cord gets tangle just like the Arctis Pro Wired (I still own a pair of Arctis Pro wired) and also after about 1 year and 6 months of constant use the leather ear cups started to peel. But I bought wicked cushions to replace ear cups which I like better and I can buy a replacement cord on Amazon at an affordable price hopefully without jeopardizing the sound. I bought a new cord for my older version “Artis Pro’s” and it sounds the same as the stock cord so should be fine. Gotta love SteelSeries though.

The sound quality is top notch. You will legitimately have issues finding better sounding headphones for this price. The included DAC's use of Spatial Audio is great, and the ability to dynamically set the E.Q. really adds to any experience. The included DAC is very high quality, and is easily the larger selling point versus the headset itself. Switching between devices can be handled automatically or done manually, which is amazing. This makes it easy to use for setups that need to pull double duty, such as my use case, where it is hooked up to both a laptop dock and a gaming computer. The software itself is okay. Steelseries GG, when it works, is fantastic, allowing for easy adjustment of volume and Chat/Game mix on the fly using the dial. This is if it works. When it decides to crash or not properly detect the dock, you are left with a headset that either does not work, is not detected, or blasts game and chat audio at max volume in your ears. It is highly, highly annoying. However, this is an incredibly comfortable gaming headset. I've used multiple brands over the years, namely Logitech and Razer, and this is both a better fit and much lighter. The microphone is also not slapped onto it, but rather retractable, which makes a huge difference. Overall though, you will not find a better headset for gaming.

Great headphones. I play Valorant, so these worked out great for me. They help me pinpoint where the enemies are coming from with great accuracy. Even when I am listening in by watching my teammates, I can hear the opponents before teammates can. This greatly helps the team strategy! Headphones are light and barely noticeable which prevents head fatigue. The bonus is that they don't require any charging because they are wired. Would definitely recommend for any gamer. Just FYI, the headphones plug into the side of the Game dac and not behind. Happy gaming, GLHF!!!
