Customer Ratings & Reviews

As soon as I saw a new steelseries headset pop up for preorder I had to jump on it. My arctis 7 of 4 years had just died and I was looking to get a replacement. I personally wasn’t expecting a huge increase is sound quality or battery, but I was WRONG. The sound was so crisp right away from the start, but it got even better after messing around with the Steelseries new sonar software. Never have I fully been immersed in gaming than I have with these. I will note that these guys have a noise canceling noise which isn’t crazy like Bose or Sony’s headphones, but it does a great job of canceling out the keyboard and my pc fans. I just think of it as a plus to an already great experience. The battery isn’t something ground breaking but a single charge lasts from 8-10 hours usually, but the really cool feature this has is a hot swap mechanic where if I take the low battery out I have ~9 seconds to get the second battery in which is a fantastic feature. One more thing to note is on the Xbox version of this headset many people were having issues with getting the headset to connect to the controller. The first thing it told me to do when plugging it in to my pc was to update the firmware, so if anyone has issues, try doing that before giving up. To be brief, this headset is very much worth the heavy price tag with its butter smooth audio, unique features and fantastic hot swap feature.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro gaming headset embodies the pinnacle of audio engineering and ergonomic design, offering gamers an unparalleled combination of immersive sound, comfort, and versatility. After spending considerable time with the Arctis Nova Pro, I can confidently affirm its status as a standout performer in the gaming headset market, while acknowledging a few minor drawbacks. Positives: Immersive Audio Performance: The Arctis Nova Pro delivers a truly immersive audio experience, thanks to its high-fidelity sound reproduction and DTS Headphone:X v2.0 surround sound technology. From the thunderous roar of explosions to the subtle nuances of ambient noise, every sound is rendered with remarkable clarity and positional accuracy, pulling you deeper into the game world. Customizable Audio Profiles: With the SteelSeries Engine software, users have the freedom to customize their audio experience to suit their preferences. Whether you prefer enhanced bass for action-packed shooters or balanced mids for immersive RPGs, the Arctis Nova Pro's customizable EQ settings allow for personalized audio tuning, ensuring optimal performance in any gaming scenario. Supreme Comfort: Designed for extended gaming sessions, the Arctis Nova Pro prioritizes comfort without compromising on performance. The lightweight construction, breathable ear cushions, and adjustable headband ensure a snug and comfortable fit, even during marathon gaming sessions. Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to uninterrupted immersion. Crystal-Clear Communication: Effective communication is essential in multiplayer gaming, and the Arctis Nova Pro excels in this regard. The ClearCast bidirectional microphone delivers crystal-clear voice transmission, free from background noise and distortion, ensuring seamless communication with teammates and adversaries alike. Versatile Compatibility: Whether gaming on PC, console, or mobile device, the Arctis Nova Pro offers seamless compatibility across a wide range of platforms. The included USB-C and 3.5mm adapters make switching between devices effortless, allowing for immersive gaming audio wherever your adventures take you. Drawbacks: Limited Surround Sound Accuracy: While the Arctis Nova Pro boasts impressive surround sound technology, some users have reported minor inconsistencies in positional accuracy, particularly in crowded or chaotic gaming environments. While this issue is relatively minor and may not be noticeable to all users (it is not to me), it's worth mentioning for those seeking pinpoint precision in their audio experience. Price Point: The Arctis Nova Pro is positioned at a premium price point compared to other gaming headsets on the market. While its performance and features justify the cost for many gamers, budget-conscious consumers may find the price prohibitive, especially when considering alternatives with similar capabilities at a lower price.

Very light headset. Good audio. Infinite power just switch battery within seconds. So far my favorite headset i gotten.

I use my Nova Pro for work and gaming every day. The sound is incredible. Whereas I struggled to hear some of my clients with my old headset, everything is perfectly clear with these. They are super comfortable, and the battery life is great.

They are super comfortable on my head and its great never having to stop using them because they are low battery. Sound great but a bit lacking in bass and the mic is pretty good at isolating background noise without sounding off.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Gaming Headset is an amazing quality headset! It was mainly purchased for gaming, but has also been used for phone calls and online work calls/zoom. The surround sound on this headset is exceptional and the acoustical sound is equally as excellent, rivaling more expensive brands. You are able to hear directionally very well, with left actually sound like it's from the left and right from right. The electronic pass through function, that allows you to hear noises outside your headset while wearing them, is very convenient and I really enjoy it. I also like that it's easy to switch between sound sources, so I can quickly go from hearing my game to using my phone and back again. I feel these seem to stay charged for a long time and are decently comfortable. I'd purchase them again in the future.

Trust the reviews on the uncomfortable nub for the microphone on the inside of the ear cup. Even after Stealseries silently updated the headphones to significantly reduced the size of the nub, I still couldn’t wear them for more than five minutes at a time. After getting some larger earpads, the problem was fixed! Other than comfort, these are the best pair of gaming headsets I’ve ever used. They are tuned very bright with a strong sub base so you can hear other players footsteps clearly and feel the explosions. The soundstage is fairly wide and the imaging is acurate so I can pinpoint where other players are. The noise canceling is better than expected and the microphone is okay. But best of all… the base station! I can easily switch between my pc and ps5 through a 2.4Ghz connection, and charge the second battery so I never have to worry about battery life again! In summary: These are fantastic headphones, but work an extra $30 into your budget to get new earpads.

Best headset I have ever used. Very comfortable, has great sound quality, and the best part has gotta be the hot-swappable battery packs. Being able to connect to multiple devices at the same time is great for working at home. The Game DAC and Sonar make the set-up seamless. SteelSeries is the best.

Great audio quality. The dual battery is fantastic, setup is easy, mic works so well. A dream, really.

I didn't buy these for myself but rather a family member so here is what they had to say. Fits well, feels good on the head. Battery life is great! Range is great! Comes with a extra battery so you are never without a charge! Price is fair given all the extras, but if you compare price and sound quality then this is where this headset loses. It's sound quality is equal to headsets @ $200-$250 and some wired ones at $100-$175 so if sound quality is what you're seeking these will do but there are better or equal to at a better price. Value - meh Quality of build 4/5 stars Quality of sound 3/5 stars Quality of battery 5/5 stars because it comes with 2! Quality of range 4/5 stars Comfort 5/5 under 4 hours, 4/5 4-6 Hrs, 3/5 6+ hrs Ease to use 5/5 stars Price - sound quality ratio 2/5 stars!

I decided to switch from the logitech G935 to the nova pro wireless and I am not disappointed. The battery life is longer, the comfort especially for the leather is surprisingly good, and in my opinion the base station is amazing, it even has a left and right sensitivity meter which I thought was pretty cool. The only problem i've noticed is the noise cancelling things inside poke out and you can feel it on your ears. There is a solution to this by purchasing a bigger 3rd party earcup which I will probably end up doing soon for the better comfortability. Overall for the price you are really getting premium wireless headphones, and in my opinion definitely the best wireless gaming headphones you can purchase right now.

At first i was skeptical since it was 400 but it was actually very good item ans the connectivity was simple and it sound good

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is a premium, highly versatile gaming headset praised for its outstanding sound quality, innovative hot-swappable battery system, and extensive connectivity options, though it comes at a high price. It serves as a great all-purpose headset for gaming, music, and calls.

Sound is amazing, light weight and affordable. Plus it’s wireless

The dual battery system is genius. Never have to think about battery life. Sound quality is great!

The best headset I have got and I would never get a different headset just because of the long battery life and the good sound quality.

I've been using an Arctis 7 as my primary headset for several years now. I upgraded to this headset five days ago and have had about 40 hours of use with it so far. Some major points. 1) I am still using the original battery. The other is sitting in the charging unit at 100% waiting to be swapped in. At the current rate it looks like I will need to swap the batteries about once a week with very heavy usage. This is outstanding. This is a truly wireless unit if you want it to be, I have only plugged in a cable to upgrade the firmware. 2) The active noise canceling is outstanding as is the passthrough feature. A nearby TV is totally muted, as are fans and other annoyances. I can still hear a very muffled clicking from my mechanical keyboard but it's obnoxiously loud to begin with. The ANC is my favorite feature of this headset. 3) The sound is better than on the Arctis 7/pro/+. If you liked the sound before you'll love it now. 4) The updated Sonar software seems to add a lot of modern functions and is actively being updated and supported by Steelseries. The discord community is thriving and I expect good things. 5) The control unit that acts as the transmitter has a display screen that shows all relevant information. At a glance you can see your volume, chatmix, charge status on both the headset and the spare battery, and more. I love having this thing down there. It's a welcome addition. I also like the new headband adjustments. It's more comfortable to me and feels snugger. It's nice that you can raise the cans up and down for larger heads. The build quality is better than before. I have not had my ears touch the inside speakers like some have mentioned. I think my ears are pretty normal. Maybe it's a problem for people with big ears? I suppose if that's an issue you could replace the pads. It's pretty easy to do. No issue whatsoever for me. I'm pretty excited about these. They have done everything I've wanted in a headset for years. The headset also allows multiple connections at once and has bluetooth which is fantastic but I haven't used these features yet. I am primary a PC gamer. I do look forward to being able to use them to watch movies, though. Buy them now!

These hesdphones sre great! They have decent audio and mic quality which can be further improved using the dedicated steelseries software, they are comfy to wear, and because they are wirelesd they massively reduce cable clutter. Typically I avoid wireless headphones because I am suspicious of how long they last before needing to charge them and I dislike haveing to wait for them to finish charging, but these bad boys bring 2 small batteries which have a deceptively long charge, while one is in use the other one is charging, so when the current battery is almost out of charge, all you gotta do is "Reload your headphones" which is fantastic. Overall, I'm glad I picked these out, although for anybody else who is considering getting these, be prepared to punch a hole through your wallet because the price matches the quality of these bad boys.

I've owned a couple different headsets in the past. But recent life and occupational changes required me to be more mobile, so I went with the wireless version. As dumb as it sounds, the battery swapping feature is amazing and the life of the batteries after swapping out is great. Almost too good to be wireless since I also use(d) earbuds quite a bit. Being able to connect to my PC (or PS4 or Switch using the USB) and cellphone (using Bluetooth) at the same time helps my workflow or game-flow, whichever I'm concentrating on at the time. It's also comfortable and stays on my head way better than previous headsets did. My friends say that the audio quality from my microphone has risen considerably since using this headset. Great product so far. No real complaints.

The steelseries nova pro are without a doubt the best headset ive ever owned. i have a very small head and these are pefect. i didnt need to swap to the wicked customs ear pads either. no sound leak they stay firm and planted on my head for an overall amazing experience. the battery life is more than enough. being able to hot swap fresh charged batteries quickly is very convenient. im always ready to game with a pair of fully charged headphones. if youre on PC take advantage of steel series sonar is makes the experience even more incredible. 10/10.
