The best headset I have had. I originally had a wired steeleries headset, but this is in another planet. The ability to hot swap batteries and the multi connectivity between my PC and PS5 is fantastic. Audio quality is superb with clear sounds that you can tailor to almost any game. It can be worn for hours on end without creating discomfort–which is something that steeleries has done well across all of their products. The battery life is truely what sells this, as each battery can last you days, ultimately giving you unlimited battery life without having to charge it.
So phenomenal, I had to get them in white as well!

Switching from Astro A50s 4th gen, the steel series be far outperform the Astros in sound quality, connectivity, durability, battery life and comfort.
The software to customize your EQ profiles is way more user friendly to use on the Steel Series compared to the Astros command center.
The ability to game for over 8hours on a weekend is amazing, and the ease of mind on having a second battery already charged up in the base station is amazing.
The multi connectivity is awesome, the ability to have music playing on my iPhone and go to the kitchen for a snack, while still being able to hear when a match is starting or in pregame lobby is a plus for me.
Definitely defiantly worth the price! You get what you pay for.
With the steel series you won’t have to worry about that cushion popping off from over time compared to the Astros

If you have any other headset you're wrong.
This headset has been a huge upgrade in my gaming.
I hear things I never knew exsisted. I hear the fish swimming, the birds flying and that sniper bullet wizzing close by. Its made call of duty so much better. I hear everyone and everything. You can download the Steelseries GG software on your computer and adjust the sound profiles which i HIGHLY recommend. You can also adjust the basics from the headset hub as well.
The headset comes with 2 batteries and the charge lasts for awhile.
While one battery is in the headset you put the other in the side of the hub and it charges so you never have a dead headset. Its fast and easy to switch the battery if youre like me and dont pay attention to when its dying and then in the middle of a game you hear the warning beeps come in.
It comes with 2 usbc ports connect to your devices, and an aux link cable for streaming without interference.
Ive never had an issue with this headset and i bought it 15 months ago.
Its comfortable and if you have a 3D printer theres a 3D print file for free for the hub which has been awesome!
Anyways get the beadset. The bluetooth works flawlessly ALWAYS!

I have always been a fan of SteelSeries products, in fact I have had my old wired Arctis model since around late 2018, which still works as perfectly good as they day I bought it. Needless to say if this headset even gives a fraction of the sustainability and quality as my old pair it should last me for years to come, for only owning it about a month, it has exceeding my expectations so far. The dual battery setup makes charging the headset nonexistent and the head-strap and earcups are extremely comfortable and don't feel grating to wear after an extended period of time. As for audio quality, in loo of the fact that is a wireless pair, there is still that incredible depth of sound that my old model provided me. All in all if you have the money to spend on a quality headset, and want the very best that will not only be comfortable, convenient, and long lasting I would highly recommend.

Holy moly, these are everything I was hoping for and more. It's like a ufo and a set of headphones made headphone babies. Lightweight, sleek, and the sound quality is phenomenal. The mic slides in and out of the headphones for convenient storage and use access, but the mic quality pics up everything. Had to turn down the sensitivity so the peeps i play with couldn't hear the neighbors. Two batteries with a charging station, when the box says unlimited battery life, they mean it. Charge one while you use the other, when 1 is depleted, you're up and running on the next. The ear phone caps are held on by magnets which hides the battery, super sleek design. Overall, i highly recommend and if you don't have the budget, then i suggest you make the budget, don't spend less money to get something that isn't as nice, only to have to replace it again in a short amount of time. Save money, but these.

Best headset I’ve used. Comfortable and great sound quality. The swappable battery makes never needing to have a wired connection worth the price tag. The headset itself feels fragile and broke after dropping once. Despite that set-back taped the band back to the ear piece and have continued to use them.
A solid upgrade to the original Arctis Pro Wireles

I had to recently replace my original Arctis Pro Wireless headset and was at a loss. I tried a few alternatives from EPOS, Corsair Virtuosos, and Logitechs G Pro X. While these are all very different price points compared to the Nova Pro, the fact remained that it was difficult to find a solid wireless headset replacement for the Arctis Pros. They each lacked something when I tried to compare them to Arctis; the biggest that stood out to me was the signal distance and ChatMix. Fortunately, I just discovered that they were refreshed with the new and improved Nova Pros with USB-C charging, noise cancellation, and sliding/adjustable earpads (compared to the original one size fits all SteelSeries band).
The new Nova Pro really does improve on everything of the original Wireless Pro. That said, one large issue I have with the device is the new ChatMix. In order to access the new ChatMix you need to create a SteelSteries account, sign in to their GG software, and use their new Sonar software. Otherwise you will have NO access to ChatMix whatsoever and their DAC just becomes a glorified volume knob. Also the new ChatMix will create four audio devices in Windows altogether, which does clutter up your audio playback device menu. I do love all the new options available in the Sonar menu. I just think a lot of people will be turned off or have trouble setting up the new ChatMix as it's definitely not the most intuitive.
After getting through setup, the device is fantastic. It is far more comfortable compared to the original with the new leather earpads and the adjustable headband. The batteries are way smaller physically compared to the originals yet have double the rated length of playback time before requiring hot swapping with the secondary battery. Ultimately, if you're looking for a one wireless headset fits all situation, and willing to spend the extra shiny penny, these are the pair to go for hands down.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset offers impressive sound quality with its Hi-Res Audio certification, delivering clear and immersive audio for gaming and multimedia. The wireless connectivity provides freedom of movement, and the long battery life ensures extended gaming sessions without interruptions. The ergonomic design and comfortable ear cushions make it suitable for prolonged use. However, some users may find the price point a bit steep compared to other options on the market.

Superior sound quality, directional sound is top tier, and lots of thought put into the software to make it user friendly. Much more comfortable than the Arctis Wireless pro with the leather ear covers. So easy to set up.

Love this headset. This is my favorite headset that I have ever had. The software for it is great and you can manage many different channels with it. At first the headset wasn't so comfortable but you can bend it a bit to your liking and after a while it starts to loosen up a bit. The microphone on it however is not very good so I would recommend using a separate microphone than the one that comes with the headset. But it is perfectly serviceable if there are no other alternatives. I have my pc audio AND my ps5 audio hooked up to the hub and can easily switch between them even easier than changing the hdmi input on my monitor.

I really enjoy the steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless headphones. They were an upgade to my gaming set up that i didn't know i needed. The sound quality is great with active noise cancelling. The built in mic sounds good, the interchangable battery is next level, i never have to charge the headset and just replace the battery from the included base station. You can also adjust your chat and game volume seperately and it simulataneously connects to my cell phone via bluetooth. This is the bast gaming headset i have ever owned and worth the money.

I’ve tried quite a few headsets and just never really found one that is comfortable, wireless, and compatible with PC and PS5. Gaming buddies were raving about Steel Series so I figured, why not try it?
I’m glad I did. This thing is overly comfortable for wearing hours, and hours, and hours at a time. Battery lasts as advertised and you can quickly swap batteries when you need to. The dock has a charging slot for the spare battery so it charges while you play and ready when you need it. A few days after using, there was an option appear on my pc to download software that provides more customization options for mic and sound, some that are already pre-customized based on the game you are playing.
Headset has a blutooth option which runs simultaneously with the PC/PS5 connection. So if you need to answer a call while playing, you can hear both the phone and game at the same time (no buttons to answer calls on the headset directly).
Sound quality is great and have been told that my mic sounds amazing now that I’ve upgraded.

I bought this as a gift, and over all seems to be the best headphones for a better gaming experience. Especially that is not necessary to be plugging the headphones every time the battery is low, only switch the batteries and your set to go back to gaming mode. It can be a little pricey but you can’t deny the quality of the audio and its perks!

I bought this headset after a lot of research, it had good reviews and people seemed to rave about it. Unfortunately the first set I got sounded terrible, tinny distorted sound, on the advice from the store associate I got a replacement set and I am glad I did. I like the way they sound, if you are using them for strictly music I do not recommend them as they are not the best for this and at this price point you can get some great headphones that are designed with music in mind. As a gaming headset though, they excel, team mate voices are clear, the mic is great and the stand alone control box with preset EQ curves is awesome.
The best thing about these to me is the swappable battery, its great to be able to have one charged at all times, as I am notorious for forgetting to plug in my stuff.
My only gripe about these is the fact that after some extened use I get a little bit of ear pain on the top of my ears as the ear cushons are a bit too thin. I solved this by ordering a set of wicked cushons for them, granted for the price it would be nice if they could include a larger/thicker set of ear cushons in the box.
Overall very happy with them and will continue to use them.

Extremely comfortable for long use, great sound. The swappable batteries mean never having to hook up a charging wire or wait for it to charge up. The controls on the base are easy enough to adjust once you're used to selecting each one. The noise cancellation is absolutely amazing.
I'd had the Arctis 3 wired headset and loved everything about them but the cord getting in my way, but this is such an upgrade. Glad I got them!

best headset on the market right now, go grab a pair now, the price point is high but it is worth the price point, not many products can claim that, but if you are willing to spend any high amount of money on a gaming headset, this is the one.
pros
. battery life and yes they have an extra battery included. most would not do that.
. software, their software is amazing from their AI noise canceling and AI clear cast mic is just top of the line.
. Sonar sound-enhancing software is top-of-the-line and can compete with Atmos.
go buy one today!

Unbeatable Hi-Res + Excellent Sonar software. No other gaming headset can deliver this. For that, it is worth every penny. My onli advice is to get after market cooling ear cups from Wicked Cushions. The stock cups would overhear my head instantly.
