Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ok ... leta try to keep this short and sweet. Are they worth it? Yes they are. Are they expensive? For what they do... yes they are! How is the sound? For this sistem to have a DAC ... I find it very mediocre, had some Void Pros that sounded better. The sweet stuff about it? The interchangeable batteries are a must! (Love those things) the fact that you can either connect through bluetooth, cable(wifi) or the analog cable is a sweet feature as well. Also if your gaming and someone calls you, if you have the bluetooth connected to your phone you can answer calls and hear the game at the same time. Only negative on that part is that you wont be able to talk ingame while getting and answering a call on your phone at the same time. I love them, they are comfortable and like the retractable mic for minimalisim, specially when you can use em as normal headphone if your not gaming and can even talk if someone calls you! Versatile at its finest! Ohhh and lastly easy to connect and disconnect.

I picked up the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and I’m very impressed. The audio is rich and immersive, the wireless base station makes switching between PC, PS5, and Switch super easy, and the hot-swappable battery means I never worry about losing power mid-game. Setup was straightforward, and the build feels high quality. On the flip side, it is pricey—and if you’re mostly gaming in a quiet room you might not fully benefit from the ANC—but if you’re looking for a top-tier headset, this hits the mark

've absolutely loved using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset. The audio quality is exceptional — rich, immersive sound with crisp highs and deep bass that makes gaming, music, and even calls sound amazing. The build quality feels premium, and every feature works seamlessly across my PC, PS5, and Switch. One thing I really appreciate as someone with a larger head is the fit. A lot of headsets start to feel tight or uncomfortable after a while, but the Arctis Nova Pro is incredibly comfortable for long sessions thanks to its adjustable suspension headband and overall ergonomic design. Battery life, wireless range, and the included base station with dual battery system are just icing on the cake. It’s clear SteelSeries put a lot of thought into both performance and user comfort with this model. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a top-tier wireless gaming headset — especially if you've struggled to find one that fits well and sounds great.

I’ve been daily-driving the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for a few months on PC and PS5 and it is one of the best gaming headset I’ve used. +The audio is stupidly good. The 360° Spatial Audio makes footsteps in Tarkov actually directional, and explosions feel like they’re inside your skull (in the best way), and music outside of gaming sounds rich and wide. +Swappable batteries + base station = literally infinite battery life. I keep one battery charging while the other is in the headset. I never get the “low battery” panic mid-raid again. +Active noise cancellation that actually works. I can play in the living room while my fan is on full blast and barely hear it. Transparency mode is clutch when someone’s trying to talk to you. +Mic is clear as heck. Friends say I sound like I’m on a dedicated USB mic, zero complaints. Nothing is perfect, and there are some issues. -Price is brutal. $380 is a big ask when the regular Nova 7 is half that. -The base station screen feels laggy in and SteelSeries GG software still randomly forgets my EQ settings after Windows updates. -Build quality on the earcup hinges has been fine for me, but I’ve seen plenty of people snap theirs—be gentle when you adjust or toss them on the desk. TL;DR: If you’re serious about competitive gaming or just want one headset that does literally everything really well and you can afford it, buy the Nova Pro Wireless. If you’re on a budget, the Nova 7 is 80 % of the experience for half the price. But once you’ve lived with the base station + hot-swap batteries + proper ANC, it’s impossible to go back.

I really like this headset a lot, the batteries are great and the hotswap function is exceptional. The software is okay, better than most I've used previously but still exceptionally confusing at times. The only reason I'm taking a single star off is the cheap plastic used at the hinges I know will fail. Luckily I have geeksquad protection on it because there is now way they'll last more than 2 years that the warranty lasts. Overall though, if it's within your budget and use use the headset a lot I highly recommend this headset. Oh I replaced the ear pads with improved cooling gel ear pads as the originals hold a little too much heat for my tastes.

Excellent sound quality. Very comfortable ear muffs for long extended period wearing them while gaming. Easily detectable sounds when listening to movements while playing fps games. I highly recommend this headset! The battery life is really good and having 2 batteries so one is charging while the other is being charged means no down time while gaming which is such a added bonus!

Great sound and comfort. Love the battery swap capability. Love the clips function from the software. Easy video creation.

The reviews on Best Buy's site and the web convinced me to go with this purchase. My Corsair Wireless Pros started to fray and the battery was getting fatigued after about 2 years of regular use. I needed to stay wireless but wanted to improve my user experiences that I found lack luster on my Corsair Wireless Pros. The comfort, the weight and the detachable mic. SS Arctis Nova Pros improved on what was a good set to an excellent set. I knocked this set down a star for the fact that the ear cups could be thicker. The ear cups have a protruding piece of hardware on both side and some people complained about them. I never felt them on the OEM ear pads and I am a big dude. Perhaps after like 3 hours (more than my avg playtime) I can see the minimal cushions giving to the point where that becomes a problem. Given such a big potential issue, perhaps those protrusions are part of the reason for why you should seriously still consider these inspite of this worry. All reviews including my own opinion praise the sound quality. Usually with high end headsets you could only have the best of one world. Some players (especially pro e-sports players) place a high value on clarity and directional audio. That is a difficult thing to achieve on wireless headsets, let alone in wired headsets due to how close the speaker are to your ears. Traditional home theaters and movie theaters have multitudes of speakers spread throughout the amphitheater along with separate bass channels. That is why the surround sound in a IMAX theater is a must for big action packed scenes like the nuclear test bomb in Oppenheimer. Headsets have to try and combine all of those features into a consumer product that is not targeting professional musicians and producers. The directional audio on these are outstanding. The technology has come a far way and perhaps those protrusions are part of that quality, so it was a compromise the engineers made. The one other thing that I value more, as I get older, I don't play FPS games as much. I like more bass and I am less concerned about hearing which directions other players footsteps are coming from. Playing Starfield, hearing the engines roar to life as you take off from a planet is very immersive. My Corsairs bass was good, but these are amazing. It is truly rare to find even among the pro gaming headsets where they can deliver on both directional audio and bass. The on caveat to this benefit is that you must use the software to Sonar in GG to achieve these results. The software is a mixed bag. It allows you to select presets like for World of Tanks or Starfield, but on the other it is sometimes frustrating to use. Getting the volume wheel on my keyboard to work properly is difficult and buggy at times. The added bonus of the external control device and an extra battery that can be charged in the controller, is a huge bonus. While the charge port on the headset is not intuitive, why would you need it when you have a backup battery fully charged in the to controller? The controller is a single color led and is easy to understand. The knob controls the volumes and has a button to switch to a crossover control for game or voice sound balancing. Another great bonus especially for the FPS community. If only the software was as intuitive as this device! I highly recommend this headset. 47 year old game that started gaming on the IBM 386.

Pros: -Good sound quality, very good if you use the SteelSeries sonar software to adjust EQ and stuff. Without that, it's a bit light on the bass end and sounds very hollow. The software also includes 3D audio simulation to give you a sense of directionality in games and such. -Active noise cancelation if you like that. -Using the soft band for support they're very comfortable to wear for a while, better than most - though if you get pain from headphones easily you're still gonna wind up adjusting them quite a bit as the pressure will still cause discomfort and eventually some pain anyway. Hard to avoid that, and they're not the lightest headphones out there. -Having the two battery packs that quickly swap is very useful for wireless headphones like these, and the USB C charging port for if you can't or don't want to swap batteries is nice to have. Cons: -Sometimes the buttons on the headphones stop working altogether. Happened to me a few times when I swapped batteries, and I found that the only way I could make sure it wouldn't happen would be to intentionally go slow at swapping batteries so it wouldn't have a battery in it for at least 10 seconds (they're designed to automatically turn back on and reconnect if you swap the battery within 8 seconds to minimize how long you're out of a game - seemed like a glitch making the headset get stuck thinking it was off when it wasn't so it was ignoring the buttons or something, not sure, but kills the value of that feature). -The microphone sucks. The fact it can be kept inside the headset where it won't stick out or anything is nice, because I HATE using the microphone on this thing. It sounds awful, and it's way too quiet even with volume levels maxed EVERYWHERE. I tried using it with nVidia Broadcast to see if the AI noise reduction feature would improve quality at all, but it's so quiet that Broadcast can't even tell when I'm talking so it mostly just silences my voice - and I don't feel like yelling in my apartment to try to get it to work. I really wish they would put some effort into making a headset with an actual quality microphone. Price points like this, it's just stupid to have such a bad microphone. -While the wireless latency is good for almost everything, it's unusable for certain things. Personally, I use Rocksmith to practice guitar and learn songs sometimes. You generally can't use wireless headphones for that because the latency makes it extremely difficult to get the timing right and hearing the slight delay between when you play and when the sound comes out can be extremely disorienting. So this 'con' isn't specific to this headset, but to wireless headsets in general, I'm only including it because if you do that kind of stuff where latency is important you should know this is a bad way to go for that. I have to switch to corded headphones whenever I use RS or anything else where audio latency is critical. -Charging port would make more sense if it was somewhere around the edges, rather than underneath the removable plate on the side, pointing directly out. Having it on the bottom, in particular, would mean you could hook up a charging cable while you're wearing them and it would feel like regular corded headphones. Where they chose to put it... is awkward. And you have to keep track of the magnetic plate when you use it.

One of the most impressive aspects of the Arctis Nova Pro is its exceptional sound quality. Equipped with high-fidelity drivers, this headset delivers crystal-clear audio with deep bass and detailed highs, allowing you to hear every nuance in your games. Whether you’re in the heat of battle, listening for enemy footsteps, or enjoying the subtle soundscapes of an open-world adventure, the audio experience is nothing short of spectacular. The spatial audio feature further immerses you in the environment, providing a realistic soundstage that can give you a competitive edge. Comfort is another highlight of the Arctis Nova Pro. The ear cushions are plush and breathable, making it easy to wear them for long gaming sessions without any discomfort. The adjustable headband ensures a snug fit, and the overall build quality feels premium, making it a joy to use. The dual-battery system is a game changer. The Arctis Nova Pro comes with a spare battery, allowing you to easily switch out the battery while the other charges. This means you can game without interruptions, as you’re never left waiting for a recharge. The convenience of this feature is a significant advantage for those who spend hours immersed in their favorite titles! LOVE THESE!

These headphones are a must have for long hours of gaming and with the easy battery swap on it triples playtime. The quality of these headphones are amazing and the sound is crisp and clear definitely would buy again. The customer support with the company is amazing and if anything happens, you can always get replacements from the company while keeping the originals

Ended up disliking these because of how lampud and jarring the beeps are whenever changing modes or powering on and off however everything else about them was quite impressive. Most important feature that I've yet to find another contender for is the capacity to listen from multi devices simultaneously. If you are gaming and want to hear sound from your TV though the headphones in a mixed fashion, these allow for that experience the easiest. The price is a bit much, especially for ANC to be as mediocre, making them hard to recommend unless you've niche needs outweigh sound quality expectations.

The sound quality is clear with good bass, it’s comfortable to wear for long periods, and setup was quick and easy. Battery life has been solid so far and it works exactly as advertised. For the price, this is a great buy and I’d definitely recommend it.

Ive had these for a few months now and I have to say they are AMAZING. Got them on sale upgrading from some corsairs and I do not regret it. Sound is amazing, the Sonar EQ is great, dual device with Bluetooth is such a great feature, and the quick swap batteries is just a cherry on top of it all. The mic is meh but with some EQ settings itll sound much better

Headphones are comfy and sound absolutely amazing. The extra battery is very nice as well so there is no downtime for long sessions. The only problem that I have had that may be a no go for some is that the ear cushions dont seem to last. I have had mine for 2 years now and the leather is all cracked and flaking off. Kinda annoying for a 300 dollar headset. Not sure if they can be replaced.

If you can get these on sale, they are still a very solid option. Good: These have pretty good sound quality, pretty comfortable for extended wearing, come with a second battery which can be charged in the DAC unit for hot swapping, easy control with the unit, easy EQ'ing with it's software. Bad: The mic is subpar for gaming from what Im told by others. The ANC (Noise Cancellation) is basically worthless. The ANC can't even block a single small fan on the opposite side of my bedroom. Once you use any headset with decent ANC you can instantly tell how awful this implementation was. When these are on sale (regularly) for $150 (ballpark) they are an amazing option for wireless sound, but at $350, it's a fight to because these aren't bad, by any means, but they quickly lose some of their value compared to other options in the price range depending on what geatures you most care about.

I ended up buying the Arctis 7 returning them and buying this one. These are some of the best headphones I have ever used. They still slip off my head a little bit but not nearly as bad as the Arctis 7. I ended up uninstalling the software they suggest using with it. I don't stream from multiple sources very often and it seemed kind of annoying to use. That being said it did have some pretty cool features. The fact that these headphones look so amazing and the best part is the high quality DAC and wireless transmitter also serves as a battery charger. I really love never having to worry about my headphones dying. I wish more products would offer features like this. The only thing I really don't like about these headphones is the side of the ear where the battery plate comes off it is very sharp. It is almost like a micro plain cheese grater it shaves off skin from your finger. I'm not sure if this is only my headphones or if they are all like this. The only other con is you cannot use it for chat with Xbox. If you want to use it for Xbox you have to buy the Xbox specific version. The price of these is extremely expensive but for the extra battery I do believe it is worth it. I would give this product an a- grading besides the price and no Xbox support for $350

I’ve used almost about every headset in the gaming world, almost none compare to this one. Obviously I’m talking gaming headphones, not audiophile ones. The wireless works great, and it’s so convenient. I stream so the Bluetooth dual channel audio is nice, I can stream and have music playing without dmca. Sound quality is unmatched…. Literally all I can say. Battery having a dock with 2 batteries included to swap is super useful. Cons - Price at MSRP is kind of high….

Excellent headphones, definitely worth the money. I hesitated because of the price, but I am glad I purchased the Arctis Pro Wireless. Sounds great. Comes with app that gives L/R balance control and ability to emphasize various sound categories like effects, voices, or music. Good enough noise cancelling. No bluetooth lag. Long battery life plus comes with two batteries that can be hot-swapped. Very comfortable headphones, I play 3+ hours every night wearing eyeglasses and no discomfort from these headphones ever. Solid feel, quality construction.

The OG headset. Swapping batteries on the fly while one charges in the dock, and being able to listen to my TV with bluetooth while simultaneously listening to audio from my PC is a game changer. It’s one of those things that you didn’t know you needed, but now I wouldn’t consider a headset without that feature. The cushions are very soft, you can wear them for hours. The ANC isn’t AirPods Max level when it comes to noise cancellation, but it cuts down background noise to the point you don’t really notice it. It’s not going to completely block out every sound like traffic, but then again I would assume you would use these primarily indoors anyways. Mic works excellent. If you work from home this would be an ideal headset if you want to watch TV while you work but can’t have the sound playing in the background.
