Unbelievable sound quality and mic quality. This is my second steel series headset and I love this one. The audio changer and mixer as well as other features makes this worth every penny. Especially when good wired headsets are getting more and more difficult to find

These might be too good for gaming… I have to turn party chat down because my friends annoying voices are heard too clearly. Sure these aren’t wireless but charging is a pain anyway.

I have about 5 PC gaming headphones. Compared to the other expensive headsets these are by far the best. They are very light, the sound is customizable and my ears stay cool. The set was very unique and easy as well.

I have spent about the last 2 weeks trying to find the perfect headset for gaming on my PS5. And yesterday i picked up The Nova Pro Wired headset from Best Buy and it has definitely lived up to the hype. The sound is amazing and the 3D audio is impressive. No firmware update needed if you are using it on consoles. Just plug and play. The setup took less than 10 minutes, 15 minutes if you include the un-boxing. Very comfortable and lightweight.

Easy setup and clear sound I own more than 5 pairs of headphones and gaming headsets that I use for various tasks. Some are designed for gaming, some are made for monitoring sound during a video edit, and some are for listening to music. It’s very rare for me to find a set of cans that I think can do two of those things well and downright mythical to find a pair that can do all three.
I may have found that unicorn. Ever since the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro headphones came across my desk, I haven’t felt the need to pick up any of my other headphones. While I have others that are just a little bit better for specific tasks, this headset gets me more than 90% of the way there more than 95% of the time. Their versatility is unmatched.

Headphones worked great these would be my second pair. This is my first wired one for my PS5 which I love using. Great sound in which I can hear the direction of the enemies in Helldivers 2. The comfort is great also.

They sound great but there is an issue with the GameDac and Windows 11. The chatmix will stop working when the PC wakes up after an extended sleep period or from hibernation. Everything works again after a reboot. When it all works, it works well.

There’s a reason why these guys keep winning “Best Headset”! They live up to the hype. Incredible sound, the 360 spatial audio is very detailed, immersion from the leather ear muffs helps you really lock in. Great for long play throughs and if you wear glasses like I do, they don’t pinch or feel uncomfortable at all. 10/10 recommend!

Great sound. Its super loud not even turned up half way. I could have the headphones on my computer desk and over to the side and hear EVERYTHING crystal clear! Also love that the dock is bigger than the last version I purchased and that it has a more "sleek" look to it - like the black matte coating!

Very comfy, great sound, however the Sonar program is very intrusive when it comes to audio devices. I did not like how it messed up my speaker setup so I left Sonar off.
Otherwise, incredible headset.

I read reviews for a lot of different headphones and people raved about this particular set. At first, I was thinking that these headphones were pretty light to have good drivers installed however once everything was set up, the audio quality is amazing. I have Bose wireless headphones as well but I can’t use them for gaming on my computer. The microphone quality is really good and becomes even more clearer if you slip on the foam cover that comes inside the box. These headphones have comparable audio quality to my Bose thanks to the 24-bit DAC. One complaint I have, however, is the noise decibels. If you’re hard of hearing (which I am) you might find these headphones a tad quiet. At a max volume of 93 decibels, even when cranked to maximum, it seems to fall a bit short while watching movies that have quiet scenes. Overall, a great set of headphones for the PC.

I like how they feel and sit on my head but the sound is strange and often sounds like its inside a tin can. I looked up different reccomended eq settings and found some that made it better but after I downloaded the engine app everything got messed up and I cant find the right settings to make them sound as good. Overall not bad but I was hoping for a lot more for the price. I previously had Astro A40 and really liked them and how they sounded and havent quite come around to the steelseries yet but they are growing on me. With some tuning and getting used to im sure they will be fine and id reccomend trying them out if someone has them or they have a display model in store before you shell out the cash.

Going from a HyperX Cloud II to this headset was insane, it took a bit of finesse to get it perfect, I'd steer clear of the sonar program in the SteelSeries app, only use the EQ and the buy dolby atmos from the microsoft store, dolby atmos is insane, I can hear people in Rainbow Six Siege from rooms away, I'm getting kills through walls, with dolby atmos installed and my EQ set to the Smiley setting and just add a little bass ad treble and lower your mids a tiny bit and the sound quality is insane, spotify sounds a lot better than youtube because you can stream high quality songs on it, it takes some getting used to a new headset no matter what when you are used to how your last one sounded, so after trying those steps you should just continue using it for a few days and you will warm up to it, some songs have made me cry because of just how intense the surround sound from dolby atmos makes it with the EQ, you can also set it to 96khz in the windows sound settings, if you do that you need to re enable dolby atmos. Best headset I've ever owned, I didn't know songs could sound this much better.

I’ve tried and reviewed many headsets. By far 1 of the best overall.
Fantastic sound
Comfortable
Great interface
Sturdy
Good microphone
You might need to order some better ear cups if you get hot easily or have a big head.
But otherwise a solid 9/10

Comfortable headphones that sound great. Good amount of customization. Only thing to note is that you need to make sure the steelseries program is running to use the device to its maximum potential
