Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of my favorite headsets I’ve ever used. Comfortable, light weight, great audio clarity and my friends say I sound the most clear it’s ever been.

Very great quality. The only flaw is that the bluetooth adapter is that it is made in an awkward shape that it will not allow you to plug in anything in the USB port if you plug it in the front (ps5); however, very light and the microphone is able to hide inside the left ear speaker to prevent damage. Also the headset is very light. Perfect for the average person. This is that headset people sleep on.

Best set of headphones ive bought theyre comfy on my head and the mic works amazing, Bluetooth is the way to go

I can confidently say the Steel Series Arctics Nova 5 are the best headphones I have used. I used the Arctics 2 and some other headphones and the cord always felt like it would get in the way, however, the wireless accessibility and comfort is absolutely worth it with these.

Great sound quality for a good price! Incredibly comfortable and easy to fit.

A little pricey but the build quality and comfort level makes it worth it in my opinion. They fit comfortably with the suspension band and don’t put a lot of pressure on the head and the mic quality is loud and crisp but a little sensitive when it comes to background news. Pairing to my playstation, computer, and phone was also very simple and straight forward.

Was finally in the market for a new headset for my PS5 and saw this one on sale. I am replacing my turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 that I got about four years ago. First I love how easy it is to connect to Bluetooth and through the dongle of my PS5. The app to have different presets for games is a lot of fun. Sound is great, connection is good. There are only two things I miss going from my turtle beach and that was the automatic connection to both Bluetooth and the dongle. If I got a call I didn’t have to switch to Bluetooth mode and if you want to have a different preset for a game you have to be in Bluetooth mode not 2.4. Other than that, great headset.

I made the switch from the A50 to the Arctis Nova 5. The Nova 5 is very simple and straight forward when pairing and customizing. The phone app is game changer since you can easily switch between presets for different gaming. Footsteps, you can hear it all with these headsets! Listening to music sounds crisp with good bass. The max volume is very loud once you turn off the limiter option from the phone app. I bought 3 (2 for me and 1 for wifey) and all works perfectly. My wife loves them. I will def recommend to anyone looking to buya gaming headset.

The microphone quality is really good, even on console. That's what I was most concerned about. The audio quality is good too and you can tweak it a lot to suit your preference. I'd say if you're gonna buy a headset, you may as well get this one.

Perfect headphones to replace my wired Corsair H60's, they sound great, even better when you unlock the audio limiter in the phone app. They are very comfortable, super light and sound great with games.

They work great and are comfortable to wesr for long game sessions

Easy set up. Great sound. Fits comfortably. And very clear when you talk to others.

It has the best audio for this price at a headset all of the different presets have good audios and you can create some for your favorite game is one of the best features and it also being Bluetooth and can be used on not just a pc but phones and others like that

Head set is top quality. I would recommend to anyone that is into gaming.

Great headphone for its price. Dont regret them at all

10/10 I’m not gonna lie these headphones are fire!!!!

Great bass great for gaming excellent battery life as well

SteelSeries has slowly been taking over my desk, when I had a chance to grab the Arctis Nova 5 I was definitely interested. In the Box you get the Arctis Nova 5 Headset, USB-C Wireless Dongle, USB-C to USB-A Charge Cable, USB-C to USB-A cable externsion for the dongle, Sticker Swag plus manuals and guides. In both instances, pairing has been fairly seemless, bluetooth works like pairing any other device on my phone. The dongle also worked pretty much straight away as I have had a couple SteelSeries Keyboards and a Mouse, with the software preinstalled, it simply needed to detect the device. I really like the retractable mic on this headset, I can place the mic to a usable position that's picks up my voice at a reasonable speaking volume and isn't right in front of my mouth with it's flexible extension. The Audio quality is really good, the software is quite robust also, there is a lot of preconfigured audio profiles for games that you can select either in the SteelSeries GG Software of the Arctis Nova 5 App of your phone. I don't mess with equalizers a lot, so I love that they have taken the guess work out of it for me. I would like if SteelSeries made it so the Bluetooth and 2.4 mode could be used at the same time, allowing you to change the audio profiles more on the fly using a bluetooth device. Plus this would give you the ability to hear audio from your phone or tablet when killing time between matches or waiting for others to get through jumping puzzles. Not breaking in any way though, the 50 Hour battery life I can believe, I was able to game multiple long sessions over the weekend and sit at 40%. I have mostly used the headset on my PC so far, a little bit on my Playstation (Where the audio profile switching on the fly would be most useful), I need to test and see if it functions the same on the Playstation Portal or the Meta Quest 2. This headset is comfortable enough for hours, the elastic band is great when adjusted to your head, which I prefer more than the thick pad in the middle with plastic on the sides that my previous headset had. The only parts touching you is the fabric on the ear cups and the elastic up top, I will be curious to see how well it holds up over time, but I am happy with the headset at this time!

Sound chops up on microphone in large parties don’t know why but it just doesn’t make sense maybe I got a faulty pair I don’t know but it sucks because pausing 130 on a headset I’d expect better sound is really good don’t get me wrong but yea the app to adapt noise is good too.

Steelseries has been killing it lately in the gaming headset space and this Nova 5 wireless model is one of the best in its category that still includes the ability to use bluetooth as well as the 2.4ghz dongle and the new companion app via your phone. In years past only the absolute top end model had the bluetooth connectivity in it so it’s really refreshing to see it trickle its way down to the cheaper yet still capable headsets that most people actually get. In the box you get a usb-c dongle (dont worry there is also a type A adapter included as well for those that dont have a C port as well as a C to A charging cable as well. Now besides being able to use this on ANY bluetooth device it also will willingly connect with PC playstation switch android Mac tablet with usb-c meta quest 2 and various handhelds. It has a retractible mic that is inside the ear cup which has been a staple for steelseries headsets and my personal favorite. This of course has noise canceling and actually sounds decent compared to most wireless headsets out there which normally fall to the bandwidth limitations on wireless cans. You have on ear cup controls for volume, power, pairing, mode and mic mute which is very nice once you get the muscle memory down to use them. The comfort is what really sets it apart from others as the ski goggle style suspension headband system on this thing is insane. It’s like having nothing on your head and ive loved this style design since the older Arctis lineup but it’s just done so much better here with the adjustable sides. The ear cups though cloth have memory foam and feel great over the ear. The battery life boast is up to 60 hours of use which is just nutty. I personally used it for a full week and didnt think about charging yet just to try and push the limits and I guess the new chipset really works because it sips battery. If your in the market for an awesome gaming headset that can double as your casual bluetooth headphones and can switch on the fly or use the app and still be a killer price for the features while maintaining comfort this is your set.
