A: As long as the Mac is connected via Bluetooth, then yes. This headset supports 1 input via RF, and 1 input via Bluetooth simultaneously. You cannot run 2 RF inputs or 2 Bluetooth inputs at the same time.
Q: Will these work with my PS5 and my Xbox Series X?
A: To clarify one of the answers. The PS5 version works with everything except Xbox. The Xbox version works for all platforms including PS5 and PC. Not sure why someone said the Xbox version doesn't work with PC.
Q: Do these pickup any background noise?
A: Yes, these have insane background noise pickup, I mean next room over quiet conversation will be heard, on PC they have a crappy buggy software you can use to reduce it, but on Xbox/PS5 your stuck with everyone hearing everything in your home no matter what you do, it's maddening and very very crappy for a $350 price tag. I have them and other then this they would be great but now I have to get rid of them, it's so so so bad.
A: Yes each battery lasts a VERY long time. I rarely need to charge them!
A: Hello there! The White Nova Pro Wireless, automatically is the updated version. regarding the black version, as long as the headset does not say 1st edition, it is the updated version!
Q: Does the microphone mute when it is retracted into the headset?
A: The mic is still functional when it is retracted. There is a super convenient button the side that mutes the mice. When it is muted a little red light on the mute lights up.
Q: Will these connect to a Samsung S25+ via Bluetooth?
A: Yes I did it to my iPhone. It has a Bluetooth button on the one headset

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
This headset is easily one of the best gaming audio purchases I’ve made. The sound quality is incredibly clear with deep bass and excellent spatial audio, making it perfect for FPS gaming and immersive single-player games. Wireless performance is flawless with zero noticeable latency. The dual-battery system is a game changer—you never have to stop gaming to charge. Comfort is top-tier as well, even during long sessions, and the active noise cancellation works surprisingly well for a gaming headset. If you’re serious about audio quality, comfort, and premium features, this headset is absolutely worth it.

Great for Gaming
Owned for 1 year now. Sounds in Black Ops 6 are amazing (Sucker Punch, custom EQ set in the DAC (All Freqs Maxed Out) able to hear footsteps, reloads with pretty good positional awareness. I do not use the GG software (too many running processes) DTSx Headphone app works good but costs $20 USD for lifetime use with updates and usually have to select it each time I boot up the Computer. ANC is reason I purchased, Very good EXCEPT I recommend Wicked Ear Cushions as they are Thicker and the metal ANC microphones will not touch your ears! The DAC is easy to learn and has several tweaks for personal adjustment. Dual Batteries are awesome, 4 to 5 hour use with ANC and Hot Swap to keep on playing! Mic quality is OK.

Honest Review by Chef Venom
I came across these headphones on a Google search because I wanted to replace the older model SteelSeries. To make it easier to read (and write): 1. [CONNECTION] Not entirely wireless. Comes with a base box to plug into a device incompatible with its Bluetooth capability, but no wires from headphones to anything. Connects fine with my S21 Ultra phone, but need the box to connect to PS5. 2. [SOUND] Video game sound is 4.8/5. Music is 5.0/5.0. Overall sound is 4.8/5 (It didn't score perfectly because every now and again there is an annoying feedback. 3. [FIT] Like someone holding soft pillows on the ears. 4. [NOISE CANCELATION] Allows for immersive gameplay, exercise, and/or meditation. When it's time to submerge into a project with music or just submerge yourself in sound, put these on. 5. [OVERALL] I think you'll be happy with your purchase of these headphones, but I wouldn't mind trying some other headphones just see how they compare.
