    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.

    I do like this headset, and I've only noticed 2 negatives about it. 1. The audio fidelity doesn't match comparably priced pairs of wired headphones designed for music listening. 2. The Bluetooth connection cuts in-and-out when connected to my desktop PC. The built-in, retractable microphone is real good to have, the USB wireless connection is pretty flawless, and the bluetooth seems to work fine with my phone, so it might be a driver issue with the computer. Overall it seems great for gaming and streaming. The battery lasts a while: I don't game on my computer every day, so I only have to charge the headset once a week or less. It's built pretty solidly, and it's comfortable around my head and ears. Hopefully the ear cups will last as long as the other components; I know they tend to be the first thing to wear out, so it's good that replacement cups are $14.99 on the Arctis website.

    Honestly these headphones are the best purchases a multi platform gamer can choose. The setup was simple and streamlined. I can switch it between not only my cellphone but also my switch, my laptop, AND my ps5. Theyre comfortable even for someone like me with fairly decently sized stretched ears. I dont feel like i need ti take my earings out to be comfortable. The noise cancling on these are right where they need to be. The adjustability of the sound is also nice. All while not being tied down to a wire. For the price they are i would even say these are budget friendly for those who want to spend less than 250$ on a headstep but still get amazing quality.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
