Customer Ratings & Reviews

A headset can have the best sound possible but if it's not comfortable it doesn't matter. Good thing that the Omni Pro is extremely comfortable with great sound. You can connect it to any computer and console and you can do it at the same time. The DAC is great and allows you to change settings and EQ options. If you don't want to use the DAC to change the settings you can also change settings and EQ's via the desktop app or mobile app. The microphone on the Omni Pro is crystal clear and can even be used on conference calls.

Sound quality is truly amazing on ps5 pro with tempest. I personally prefer the weave ear cups so I purchased a separate pair of earcups from wicked cushions and have no issues with heat or comfort. Battery life is exceptional - never run out with 1 in the dac charging at all times. Plastic construction but good quality. Elite has metal but for $200 more. Highly recommend.

Love these! I’ve use Corsair, Razer, and Turtle Beach headsets and this is by far my favorite! Adjusting the settings is easy, good battery life, super comfy even for someone with sensory issues, and being able to connect to multiple devices without having to move wires around and do a whole dance is fantastic!

I’ve gone through my fair share of gaming headsets over the years and most of them usually lean heavily toward either flashy aesthetics or pure competitive performance, but the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Omni 2.4GHz headset somehow manages to blend premium build quality, comfort, and absolutely phenomenal sound into one package. Straight out of the box, the first thing that stood out to me was just how sturdy these headphones feel while still remaining surprisingly lightweight and flexible. Nothing about them feels cheap or fragile. The construction immediately gives off that premium “high-end gear” vibe that you expect when stepping into this price range. The included USB hub/base station is honestly one of the coolest and most useful features of the whole setup. Not only does it act as the wireless connection hub, but it also doubles as a battery charger with a clean digital readout and independent volume gain control. That extra gain boost is actually more useful than I expected, especially for competitive gaming where hearing subtle footsteps or distant movement can make a huge difference. The hub itself gives quick access to all the essential audio settings without constantly needing to dig through software menus, which I really appreciated. One feature that instantly sold me was the hot swappable battery system. SteelSeries including two rechargeable batteries means there’s basically no downtime. One battery stays charging in the hub while the other powers the headset, and swapping them takes only seconds. That alone makes these feel incredibly polished for long gaming sessions. Plus, there is the ability to fast charge the battery inserted into the headset offering quick charge instantly if you don’t want to swap the battery. The 2.4GHz wireless connection is also flawless. Instant pairing, zero noticeable latency, and consistently excellent sound quality. There is a downloadable companion app as well, but honestly the PC software already provides more than enough customization and tuning options for most users. I did experiment with the simultaneous audio mixing feature where you can connect your phone while gaming, but personally it was a little too much stimulation for me. I game to unwind and disconnect, so hearing notifications while playing wasn’t really my thing. That said, for streamers, Discord users, or content creators, I can absolutely see how useful that feature would be. Now onto the real star of the show, the sound quality. The ANC noise cancellation and Spatial Audio are genuinely next level. Once you turn these on and jump into a game, it creates such an immersive soundscape that it almost feels unfair. The 40mm Neodymium magnetic drivers absolutely blew me away. I’m already familiar with Neodymium drivers from higher-end car audio setups, so I had high expectations going in, and these still exceeded them. The audio clarity across the entire frequency range is incredible. Deep bass hits hard without muddying the mids, vocals stay crisp, and positional audio in shooters is unbelievably accurate. Comfort is another massive win here. The vegan leather memory foam ear cushions feel excellent and don’t create that unbearable heat buildup that many gaming headsets suffer from after a few hours. The suspension support band is also fantastic because it distributes the weight so well that the headset almost feels like it’s floating on your head. I was able to wear these for extended gaming and streaming sessions without any fatigue or discomfort. The retractable microphone is another feature done right. It slides out smoothly, adjusts easily, and stays mostly out of your line of sight while gaming. More importantly, the mic quality itself is excellent. Voice capture comes through clean and clear with very little background interference. What impressed me most overall is how complete this headset feels. From the premium materials, comfort, software support, audio customization, ANC performance, and incredible sound production, everything about the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless feels refined and thoughtfully designed. These aren’t just good gaming headphones, they feel like luxury gaming headphones. Whether you’re a casual gamer, competitive player, streamer, or content creator, these easily sit near if not the top tier of what wireless gaming audio can offer right now. Easily my new favorite and only go to headset for a long time to come.

Great stuff. Much cheaper than the elites but has most of the features. Being able to mix 4 sources simultaneously is wild. Very good battery life on top of it being swappable. Does come with both battery’s and it works well

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is a pleasant surprise. It is a very versatile headset that doesn’t look like a typical gaming headset and is hands-down the most used headset I have ever owned. It seamlessly connects and works across so many devices in my setup. I used it with my iPhone, my PlayStation 5, and my desktop running Windows and I’m able to switch between all three easily using the app. Setup was super easy and unboxing was also a surprise because I found that this headset comes with an additional backup battery that you can swap out like an old battery in a flip phone. It charges in a hub that you plug into your PC and PlayStation so you are always charged. Setup honestly took less than a minute. Usually you have to mess with apps and all of that, and yes you do have to use an app, but you honestly just connect the device and it automatically connects to the hub that you attach to your game system and desktop. I plugged the hub into the back of my PlayStation and my desktop which I have sitting next to each other. The only time I think this would be a struggle is if you had the hub in separate areas, but if your desktop has Bluetooth it wouldn’t matter anyway since the headset has Bluetooth built in as well. When I first connected to my PlayStation I noticed the volume was really low. I found out the hub asked me a question that I didn’t realize pertained to the PlayStation since it automatically knew what it was connected to, so I had to adjust the volume within the internal settings of my PlayStation and then everything was fine. On my phone I played music and it sounded great. The headset honestly sounds like a high quality headset and back on the PlayStation gaming sounds awesome. I love that the boom mic is retractable and hides right into the headset. Now you may ask where do you charge it or where do you swap out the removable battery? On each end cap of the left and right speaker the cover is magnetized on. Remove one side and it reveals the USB-C charger, remove the other side and it shows the rechargeable battery. How cool is that? Super high quality. I feel like I’m back in the 2000s because they have really thought this through. Gaming honestly sounded great. It is immersive and it improves my gameplay, especially since I am upgrading from a lower end headset so everything is finally fine tuned. The drivers in the speakers are high quality. The headset is also very comfortable. Although it is leather I didn’t feel like my face was sweating. It is lightweight and it also doesn’t look like a typical gaming headset like I mentioned earlier. You could wear this for music out in public and not be embarrassed because the boom mic retracts inside, the logo doesn’t scream gaming, there are no crazy colors, it is straight black. They look professional and sharp. The hub is also just phenomenal. You can quickly adjust audio and settings on the fly with a giant dial and get a readout of where you are actually at. This headset is worth getting if you have multiple devices, even if it is just a desktop and a mobile device and not a PlayStation or Xbox. Connect all your devices and have an immersive seamless experience instead of buying multiple headsets for each device. One thing to note is that this is a PlayStation version. I believe they make an Xbox version as well and I don’t have one to test it out, but knowing it connects to PC I wouldn’t doubt it works well there too, it may just be missing some drivers so your experience could vary. I also noticed the noise canceling seems light but it still works well for me. I do like having a little awareness of my surroundings. I may need to adjust the settings more and it also might have just been the environment I was in when I was testing it out. Overall this is an excellent headset. Quality sound, no fatigue, swappable batteries. This is a no-brainer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I have heard so many good things about the SteelSeries headphones that I just had to get a pair for myself and see what the hype was all about! I am mainly a PC gamer, and I do play a little on my Switch as well. But these will primarily be used with my PC. Out of the box, you can tell that this is a well-built product and a lot of thought was put into the design. It has a nice solid feel, all of the parts feel like they are made with good quality materials. Nothing about it feels cheap or flimsy. The package comes with the headset and wind screen, 2 batteries so you can always have one ready to go so there will never be any downtime, and the little breakout box that you connect to your device that is also used to charge the batteries. They claim each battery will give you about 30 hours of time before having to swap in a new one, which is pretty impressive. Getting it connected is pretty easy, there are 3 USB ports on the back of the breakout box that you can use to connect to up to 3 different devices if you choose (although it only comes with 2 USB cables). You can easily mix those 3 devices together so if you wanted to have some music playing on your PC, while gaming on your xbox you could easily mix the 2 together. There is also a line in and line out as well if you wanted to mix in some other audio. The headset comes with a companion app which you can use to control a ton of settings for the headset. Once you install the app, you can easily connect your headset via Bluetooth. Within the app you can do things like set custom EQ’s for certain games. You can also control the ANC level to either completely block outside noise, or to allow some of it in. There is a slider that you can easily dial in the exact amount that you want. There is also a limiter as well to make sure you don’t accidentally get blasted with audio louder than what you want. On the other tab there are adjustments for the microphone as well. I found the app to work very well and offer plenty of customization options for the headset. Now lets get to the important part, how do these sound. The headset has 40mm drivers with a frequency response of 10-40,000Hz which means you should be hearing some good deep bass as well as crisp high frequencies. It also will play audio at 96kHz / 24 Bit, so you are getting some of the best audio quality there is. Putting these headphones on, they feel extremely comfortable to wear. I had them on for hours and never felt any kind of fatigue or soreness anywhere. They are also fairly lightweight so you don’t even feel like you are wearing a large headset. The sound was phenomenal. I could hear the rich bass, good mids, and nice crisp high ends. I have a corded headset that I paid double the price for and these are easily on par with those. The active noise cancelling also works great. I like to always let a little bit of outside noise in, and I was easily able to dial in the perfect amount that I wanted. From playing games, to watching action movies with a lot of surround sound action, these things sounded great with it all. Even music with spatial audio sounds amazing with this headset. The microphone also worked very well. I did a test and talked with my wife who was on her computer in another room and she said the audio from the mic was crystal clear and she couldn’t hardly hear any background noise at all. Overall, this is an amazing headset, and I can guarantee any gamer would absolutely love it. If you are in the market for a new headset, definitely give this one a try, Im sure you’ll love it as much as I do!

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni Gaming Headset for PC/XB/PS raises the bar of headset functionality to a new higher level. The capability of the Artis Nova Pro Onmi to connect with multiple devices of mine at the same time gives me hours of fun across the full spectrum of technological entertainment. The ear pads are extremely soft and comfortable enough to sit for long hours without discomfort. They do not produce too much compression on my ears. The headset drivers are so tuned, I get great sounds in every medium I connect with. Whether I’m gaming or listening to music, the sound is incredibly clear, crisp and detailed with a loud volume. The noise cancelling works better than most noise cancelling headsets. When playing my FPS games, I can hear footsteps and directions of opponents more precisely, which can make a real difference in winning or losing a match. I do not need any cables to charge the headset, because of the dual-battery system. This produces no need to wait around for a battery to recharge. I simply swap out the dead battery with a completely charged battery. I potentially have continual battery life forever. I can customize the equalizer to create many different options to listen to. Whether it is for my music, to watch a movie, or play a game there is a preset for it. The mobile app allows me to make adjustments so that my ears receive the perfect sounds for the application that I am using. With the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni Gaming Headset for PC/XB/PS, I am set for life with my headset, until the next future model comes out.

Works great. Seamless transition between my PC and PS5

Great headset with a great mic , audio is mid with no bass but still usable, overall the build is pretty much plastic. This would be a better price at $300.

I’ve used a lot of headphones in the past and while I would not call myself an audiophile, I would say I can be somewhat picky about the performance of headphones that I typically use. And I’m glad to say that with these headphones I’m happy so far. Overall sound quality (albeit with some software eq applied) is actually not too bad and in the region that I typically like, obviously everyone is different, but I would say that these headphones have enough switches and setting to tweak that most people will probably find some sort of sound profile they prefer. On the comfort side I feel they are overall comfortable but the earcups at least on me are a bit on the warm side so some small breaks to cool my ears down on longer sessions are needed sometimes. The real standout with this setup though is the fact that I can have not just my computer and my phone connected at the same time (and the Bluetooth can be turned on and off separate from the normal power huge win with that feature) but that I can also attach my gaming consoles as well with just one set of headphones and use everything together. That feature is amazing and I wish more headphones had it. I also like the small controller that allows you to easily see the status and adjust the volume, that’s nice as well. If I did have anything to complain about it may be that some of the settings are a little buried in the software and are not the easiest to find. One such setting being the Noise cancelation (which overall I give a B+ compared to others I have used) was a little harder to find. Maybe there is a quick access setting for it someplace that I just missed. The features themselves all are great and work great but finding them can be a bit difficult at first. One final note that I think more manufacturers should have is the swappable batteries. It’s so nice to be able to have one battery charging and when the current battery dies just swap in the fresh one in a few seconds. Super quick and easy, I don’t ever have to worry about remembering to plug them in overnight like I do with some other headphones I have.

Here’s the revised version: SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni — Review At $400, this is the kind of purchase that needs to pull its weight around the house, and after spending a good amount of time with it, the Arctis Nova Pro Omni mostly does — with a few caveats worth knowing about before you commit. The build won’t surprise anyone familiar with the Arctis line. It’s the same suspension strap and leatherette earcups SteelSeries has been refining for years, and that’s not a criticism. It’s comfortable for long evening sessions, doesn’t leave your ears sore after a few hours, and is sturdy enough that you’re not treating it like something fragile. It sits on a desk without taking up much presence and comes in three colorways — navy, black, and white — none of which look out of place in a home setup. The connectivity is where it earns the most of its money. The base station connects to three USB-C devices simultaneously alongside a Bluetooth source, so a PC, a console, and a phone can all be live at the same time. In a home where you might jump between a gaming session and needing to hear the front door, or where you’re running Discord on the PC while something plays on a console, that flexibility is genuinely practical rather than just a spec to point at. It removes the kind of low-level friction that you don’t fully appreciate until it’s gone. Sound quality is good. The soundstage feels wider than most closed-back headsets at this price, voices and mid-range detail come through cleanly, and positional audio in games holds up well. The one consistent shortcoming is the low end, as bass sounds thin, and if that matters to you in the games or music you spend time with, it’s worth factoring in. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s noticeable. Noise cancellation is effective enough for a typical home environment. It handles a TV running in another room or general background noise without much effort, which in practice is probably all most people need from it. The SteelSeries GG app on PC is genuinely impressive and worth talking about separately. Through the Sonar suite you get a parametric EQ with deep per-frequency control, hundreds of game-specific audio presets, separate profiles for your wireless and Bluetooth connections, and two distinct spatial audio modes depending on whether you’re playing competitively or just sitting back with something more cinematic. For people who like to tune their audio it’s the best software of its kind available. For people who just want to put the headset on and play, the depth of it can feel like more than necessary, and it does add some background load to the PC. Neither extreme is a flaw exactly, just worth knowing which kind of user you are. Taken as a whole, the Omni makes the most sense for someone running multiple devices at home who wants one headset to handle all of it without compromise. As a purely PC-focused purchase, the price is harder to justify against capable alternatives that cost significantly less. But if the connectivity genuinely applies to how you use it day to day, it’s a well-built, capable headset with software that nothing else at this price really matches. Let me know if you’d like any further changes.

The latest iteration of the Steelseries Arctis gaming headset, which popularized the concept of one headset connecting to many devices simultaneously, comes with one big dongle. Can you even call it a dongle if you have to connect it to your devices via a cable? For now we'll just call it a hub? Regardless, you are supposed to be able to hook up to 3 devices to it, plus bluetooth for your phone, and that way you can be on your PC, your phone, and your console all at the same time, if that's the sort of thing you are into. Maybe you're playing a game on the console and watching a youtube tutorial for the level you are on, all while talking on the phone, and you can hear it all at the same time instead of having the headset swap devices entirely when it detects sound like how multipoint bluetooth works. There's also a line in and line out, in case you also live with other people and want to play all the sounds through your stereo system instead. I guess it's better than plugging and unplugging a dongle every time you switch systems, especially if all of your front ports are already in use and you have to reach behind the console / pc every time you want to swap devices. Having the giant hub is less useful if your primary gaming system lives in a different room than your console. I wish that there was some way to have both the hub and a tiny dongle so that I wouldn't have to unplug 3 things from my entertainment center just to move to the next room if I want to play on my gaming PC. The hub itself is pretty cool despite being so big. It's about the size of two Sega Genesis cartridges stacked on top of each other. There's all sorts of settings accessible through it, EQ settings, volume levels between devices, turning off environmental settings. The volume knob is clickable, and there is also a capacitive button that toggles between the settings that doesn't seem to like me because I have to try pressing it several times while holding my finger down for a bit to get it to work. Maybe it's my dry skin? The coolest thing about the hub is that it also has a place to charge the included extra battery so that you can quickly swap out and get back to what you were doing. As for the headset itself, I really like the style with the elastic band that evenly distributes the weight across your head. The fabric on the strap for the Nova Pro Omni is much nicer and smoother than the one on the original Nova 1 that I had, almost a satin texture. The ear cups are covered in a soft leather-like material and are not uncomfortable while wearing glasses. The pop-out microphone stays put when you bend it around, though bending it in a weird shape does mean that it doesn't go back in the slot as smoothly. I had to sit through 4 hours of online meetings the other day wearing these, and afterwards I didn't take off my headset because I was perfectly comfortable with it on despite all that time and wanted to watch a show on my phone while I had lunch. Music is great on this device. The sound stage is nice and wide as is to be expected, with the instruments cleanly separated. On Thriller, it sounds like the rhythm guitar and the guy playing the cowbell are practically in different zip codes. In game, sound effects like environmental noises and enemy footsteps similarly have excellent audio directionality. Out of the box, the treble is a but high for my tastes. The ANC setting doesn't bother me as much as other headsets. The feeling of pressure in my ears is far lighter. However with it off and with the passthrough on, out of the box, I felt like I had super hearing. I'm not sure if it was the mic sensitivity or the passthrough default setting, but every environmental sound around me was super amplified, from my shirt rustling to the cats walking on the hardwood floor in the next room. It dampened somewhat when I slid the microphone back into its slot. I had to go into the settings app on my phone to turn it down to a point just so that I could have regular hearing again instead of the sort that Superman has. I'm not sure that if I was on a voice call or whatever that other people could hear my ambient noises, but maybe if I was an ASMR creator then having such a sensitive mic would be a plus. The GG software that Steelseries provides for the PC is super useful, especially Sonar. Being able to split out which program outputs sound to which device is invaluable for streamers, and pretty helpful if you just want to do something like chat privately over the headset while still having media playing over your speakers. If you've got multiple consoles plus a gaming pc in your entertainment center, then you couldn't go wrong picking up this headset. It could be a bit overkill for hooking up just to a PC, though there's still value in using it with your phone or tablet for simultaneous audio.

To briefly sum all of my thoughts, I think this is a very high-quality headset, is great for me, and I think most would feel the same. I like the build. There is a lot of plastic, (the headband is metal) but they still have both a solid and premium feel to them. Physical buttons also feel good, are responsive and intuitive. The boom mic retracts and inserts well (and nice indicators for status). Charging is very easy, as each cup has a removable plate, one with a USB-C charging port, one where the…swappable battery goes. More on that later. I found them comfortable, even for long sessions. The pads are quite thick and deep, and while they warmed up fairly quickly, it really wasn’t an issue for me. Clamping pressure was good, and adjustments simple. All good with build and fit for me. As for sound, well, I found it good as is, but really think it improves and shines when you dig in to the EQ and dial it in for how you like it. Noise cancellation and physical isolation were very good. Separation, localization, and depth were all excellent. It helped me get more into games over my previous cans, and “probably” helped my results, but probably not. I am awful lol. Just nice detail and immersion. It is a personal thing, but definitely take the time with the EQ, as I mentioned, there is a lot to work with and I think it is worth it. You really can get great sound. As for the mic, I will stop a bit short of that and simply qualify it as “very good.” Effective, very clear, cuts out background, but a bit tinny to me and, well, very good. Perhaps I would have liked more here, but no real complaints. A little nod for the retractable nature, as it will be nice to be able to use these in a pinch if needed away from the keyboard. I think just for build, fit, and sound, these are good, but I think it is the hub and overall system that really push these over the top for me. The wireless hub gives you control over the headset settings (but so much more so in the GG software so go there) and displays some relevant information. This is also where you can connect several devices (up to 4? I think) via three USB-C and one 3.5 in/out port (as well as Bluetooth via the headset itself). This was all easy and just worked. Quality sounded consistent when multiples sources were connected (although cell connectivity was bit lower all things being equal). Further, you can get audio from two sources at the same time and set volumes to your liking. Idk, this seemed cool to me and I think is a nice add. Lastly, and it is tied to the hub, is battery life. So far, it has been outstanding for me, as is, on the surface, but I do not think it will ever be a concern. One, as it has been great, but two, they give you two hot swappable batteries, one for the device itself, and one that can be charged in the hub. I just don’t really see a scenario where I will have battery issues. This is a great solution, and maybe this is common, but I have not seen this and wish more things could do this. In the end, I think this is fantastic headset/system and I really like it. It is well built, comfortable, will seemingly never run out of battery, and sounds excellent. On some level it may lack some premium materials; but, for the overall performance I already mentioned along with the hub and all the functionality and versatility it offers, I really think the value is there. Check you needs, for sure, but I think most would be pleased here.

I got these headphones because of previous experience with Arctis Game buds. Those are ok, but what I liked about those was the very customizable equilizer, and looking at this, what lured me in was the swappable battery pack. I must say, these are not a an entry level headset, and unless you know specifically that you need a swappable battery because you've ran into a dead headset in the middle of the game, and have it happen more often than not, then there are possibly more affordable headsets that can give you good sound also. For me, I have two little people that love to game and not recharge. They are getting better anout it, but this can help. Having the spare battery to swap quickly and always have the fresh one charging is handy. I use this mainly on pc, but it does do ok on the Xbox when I hooked it up. That being said,I plan on keeping it on my PC. This came with an instruction manual, i find that handy rathern than having to run for my phone right away. The build on these are supurb. Very study metal on plastic on the headband, a bit on the heavier side, but solid head grip plastic has satin finish and the muffs are little cloud pillow soft on the ears, and so far fairly breathable. The button push on these is good feedback and so is the volume dial. What makes this very nice is the external volume button/dongle/battery charger. That is super handy for me. The mic in this retracts, and when in use, picks up very excellent dialogue. The app for the pc once downloaded works very well, and you can customize the equilizer a lot more than many other headsets. There is an app for the phone, but it says it's only for the I phone, so I can't speak for how that works. I know the buds app was pretty good for the android platform. Comparing this to about 3 other brands of gaming headsets I have. All sound very good, this is on par with them, the atmos works great in this, it is one of 2 sets I have capable of it. I do feel this give you features that make this worth the premium price, and I do reccomend them. As noted above, these are not entry/mid level. There are many headsets that have great sound and functionality that are much less, but if you are wanting to step up and have the external control and swappable battery, these are fantastic.

I've been using a single headset for close to 3 years now that has been my goto for so long because of its dock, ease of use, long battery life, etc. This is really the first headset that I've considered can even come close to competing with it (and it's about time, my current headset is starting to show its age from use). I've not been a huge fan of the Arctic headsets in the past so it's nice to see the amount of thought and effort put into this one. To start: It's packaged with the headset, 2 batteries, the control unit, cables and some minor documentation. Nothing too standout here but I wouldn't expect there to be. Use: I have to say I love the dual battery design. Part of why I stuck to my current headset for so long was because of the dock, when I'd finish using it, I set it down and it charged to full between uses. It had such a long battery life that I never really considered something else and never wanted to get a headset that needed to be plugged in because I would just forget to charge it. With the dual battery charging design, I can easily go ahead and forget about plugging it in because the second battery will be charging while I use the primary, and it doesn't require me to remember to do anything. The sound is excellent, the control unit offers varying types of profiles and control and is easily used, I also appreciate that it can be plugged into basically anything, doesn't require bluetooth or usb or a headset jack as it kinda does it all. It's wildly comfortable and really just overall an excellent design. Overall: A worthy consideration over many headsets in the market at the same price point, better than many with its two-battery setup where you can always be using one and charging one without having to remember to plug things in. This should be a more common setup in wireless devices. I heartily recommend it.

For the price these are a tad expensive but these are fantastic. You can use this on Xbox, PlayStation, switch, Mobile or your PC quite easily . Comes with a base where you can plug it into the desired system or using Bluetooth. I mostly used this on my switch 2 and my windows gaming laptop. Tho I did connect it to my Mac with no issues so it should work fine . This comes with 2 batteries as well so you don't need to worry about being with no headset for a long periods of time if you solely want to do wireless. This also have active noose cancelling so you can drown out your Air conditioner, fridge or whatever else you might have at home. It also uses a retractable boom mic if you want to use it as well. It's great for competitive gaming but I used it for the fact I just don't want to make a lot of noise in my room so my roommate can sleep. I have also used this on my phone to play with music and while it's serviceable I would just use your other headphones for that but it works in a pinch.

I've been gaming with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni for a while now, splitting time between PC and PlayStation, and this headset has done a fantastic job improving my experience for both. For single-player, story-driven experiences in particular, it's hard to overstate how much the sound quality adds to immersion. Games that lean on environmental audio and spatial cues feel entirely different when you can actually hear the layering and directionality of the soundscape. The GameDAC hub is the centerpiece of the whole setup. Switching between PC and PlayStation is a single button press, and it works exactly as advertised. I use both platforms regularly, so not having to physically swap cables or reconnect anything has become something I genuinely appreciate every time I sit down to game. The onboard display on the hub gives you at-a-glance feedback on your current settings, and the volume wheel doubles as a ChatMix control, letting you dial in the balance between game audio and voice chat without ever tabbing out which helps when my friends and I are casually playing golf and want to focus more on our conversation vs the play by play of my bad swings. The noise cancellation is really strong too. I've had it running during sessions when the rest of the house is anything but quiet, and it handles the ambient noise cleanly and without any noticeable audio quality tradeoff. Transparency Mode is equally useful when I need to keep an ear out for kids or anything else in my surroundings without pulling the headset off. Where this headset really unlocks its potential is through the SteelSeries Sonar app on PC. The parametric EQ gives you genuine, fine-grained control over your sound profile, and game-specific presets mean you don't have to start from scratch every time you switch titles. I find myself using it as much for music and media as for gaming, because the audio quality holds up across all of it. The one thing that has been bit of a hassle is cable management around the hub. It's not a dealbreaker, and once you have your setup dialed in it stays put, but the initial routing of connections takes a little thought depending on your desk layout. Overall, if you want a wired headset that delivers serious audio performance, flexible multi-platform connectivity, and deep software control, the Arctis Nova Pro Omni earns every bit of its premium positioning.

The Original Nova Pro was released 4 years ago and was the successor to the Arctis Pro which was doing something a lot of other headset were not doing at the time. The Nova Pros took the Arctis Pro to the next level adding ANC and usb c to the headset and multi device support. At the time of release they were the headset to beat. In those 4 years though there has been a lot of strong new competitors, that has pushed what we think of gaming headsets. Let me start with the good on this headset. First is you get good audio , there is good separation of sound and you get a decent amount of bass it definitely more of the punchy kind rather than deep but still sounds good when you have explosions or sound that need some oomph. Headset is still extremely comfortable the redesign to make the nub for anc smaller helps eliminate some of the issue people had with the first batches of the Nova Pros. I really like the texture added to the volume wheel feels really great and premium. The new hub is amazing it’s basically the sam hub that you get with the Nova Elite and the crazy thing is you can hear 4 sources at the same time. Makes it super easy to mix your sources and have it connected to multiple systems at once. Overall this is an incredibly solid package, but like we talked about earlier the competition has gone up since the original Nova Pros came out. This headset feels like half step rather than a full step towards something new. The audio while better tuned and overall slightly better than the original still isn’t as good as some of the competition. Having the swappable batteries is great but a lot of other headsets have crazy long battery life and it’s not that much of an issue. And a personal gripe for me is the volume level on console. I made sure limiter was off but the headset didn’t seem that loud on Xbox or PlayStation for the first like 70-75 percent of the volume wheel and then above that it can get pretty loud. It does have an app and it seems to work well and it makes easy to switch EQs on the fly but only if you configured them on pc first. You can adjust any eq on the app you can choose a preset or one you made. Overall I really like The Omni I thinly hey sound great and are extremely comfortable, but it’s hard to give it a perfect score when it does falter in some areas to the competition, but if you need to mix multiple audio sources at the same time there is no competition this is the one to get.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is absolutely incredibly! This this is super nice for gaming and music listening. I absolutely love the fact that it comes with two rechargeable batteries and the fact that the base has a built-in charger. The base has so many amazing features which I love. Almost every setting you can think of can be adjusted from the base. I also love the fact that I can EQ my mic and my bluetooth connection. The sound quality is amazing but make sure to set it to its highest in Window’s settings. It is default set to 46kHz instead of 92kHz. The mic is nice and lightweight and it's really adjustable. It slides in when not in use. The buttons on the headset are amazing and the bluetooth connectivity is super quick and easy, no holding it down trying to search for it. You just hold it down for a few seconds and then it quickly connects. If you’re a serious gamer looking for a great sounding headset with a great mic, I highly recommend that you look into this SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro!
