Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nothing can ever be perfect but these cans are pretty good albeit disappointing in some aspects. They perform great for pc and my ps4. The sound is loud and phenomenal. Battery life is excellent! The wireless dac leaves things to be desired but you can tweak sound settings on the fly. So far Bluetooth has worked great. Now the short comings. There is no optical cable input so this headset is strictly for what it says its for. So no watching tv with these on. I tried. Also the setup is not designed for Nintendo switch as it claims which leaves the user to tweak the programable custom settings and adjust to your liking otherwise the sound is way too low and can get distorted. Also dont forget to turn the volume all the way up on your switch. Took me awhile to figure that part out. Lastly this isnt noise canceling like it claims but there is a difference in sound transmission with noise canceling off. My ears do start to sweat a little after a long gaming session. Lastly these are comfortable and the speaker that protrudes inward that causes some discomfort in many users didnt affect me. The shape of everyones ears is different. Shame on steelseries for not taking this into account. Overall i think theyre worth the money but like everyone else that releases good products i would like steelseries to make a version of these cans that are more premium even if it comes with a higher price tag.

-Great for competitive play -Amazing noise cancellation -Comfortable to wear -Great battery life and with interchangeable batteries for nonstop gaming -Overall has a professional feel and look to them with multiple layers of customization

Hands down the best in wireless headphones. Rechargeable, spare battery, bluetooth amd comfortable. The software really shows the potential to tune audio preferences and bost the close encounters when closing enemies are around. Great purchase

These headphones are great if you are like me and need them to primarily be a gaming headset but also use them for music and audio, work, and more. Having dual connections and Bluetooth makes them very functional. Comfort is great while the sound is pretty good it's definitely not HiFi

Upgraded from nova 7 and it's been am amazing change. Better sound quality as well as the hot swap battery. Really makes a difference when you don't have to have a cord dangling down your side. The setting on the dock are nice as well even though they take a bit to get use to. 10/10 would recommend and especially if it's on sale.

Sound is excellent, with a whole plethora of settings and tools. Being able to recharge one battery while using the other is handy and its not complicated to swap them. Mic quality is good enough for gaming and Discord use. If i wanted something better the go to is a stand mic anyways. The Dac is a cool new device which was easier than I expected to use and find a home for on my desk. Everything from ANC, Sidetone, and eq presets for Baldur's Gate 3 and a bunch of other games. Swapping between PC and Ps5 is quick and painless. The headphones are solid construction wise and comfy enough to wear them for 8+ hours and not have any fatigue. Overall its a solid investment and a nice upgrade from my Arctis 7s.

Great audio sound, comfortable to wear for long hours, love the idea of 2 batteries so you can change out when one battery gets low. Battery hours are long.

Love these. They became defective about a year into ownership. But, with the Best Buy Total Rewards, I was able to swap them out. These are far superior to the competition in comfortability and ease of connectivity. After trying the competition, I came running back for these.

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.

The headset is light in weight, has great sound, and the swappable battery is super convient! Huge upgrade

Amazing headset. Sonar EQ works great and has superior spatial audio compared to many of the high quality headsets I've used in the past. The DAC works great. Headset is comfortable although the leather ear cups can get warm but in no way is that a deal breaker. Personally I don't care for the ANC, and to be honest most headsets don't knock it out of the park. $350 is a lot of money. In my experience when I drop that kind of cash, purchases rarely meet my expectations. In my opinion the price point is justified and worth the purchase. Please also note, depending on your ear shape and size and how you position headset you might feel the drivers press into your ear. Most people including myself do not have this issue. But if I intentionally position my headphones to do so I can feel the driver hit my ear slightly. To summarize: Fair price point. Very comfortable. Amazing audio quality. Amazing spatial audio quality. EQ and DAC are great. Recommended!

Solid product, nearly perfect. Swappable battery is unbeatable. Simultaneous WiFi and Bluetooth connection is a very nice quality of life feature I didn't know I needed. Slight high pitch tone when connected to Bluetooth and no audio is playing. I suspect many ears won't even be able to hear it. Connectivity is strong on wifi. I can maintain discord call quality through a floor into my basement without drops or stutters. There is one custom equalizer setting available through the base station. The base comes with many pre-made equalizer settings, but you must be able to connect to a Windows desktop to download additional presets and have more control over custom presets. The lack of a mobile app to push these updates is noticed. Active noise cancelling is not comparable to big players like Sony. Purchased in sale for for $280 USD. I recommend this product.

Awesome headset!!! Best fit! Best sound! Battery life is phenomenal. and the quick change extra battery is genius! upgraded to the wicked pads and it adds some weight to the headset but its worth it so you dont get poked in the ear like the original pads allow.

The perfect headset. I work in IT and need to have a headset on practically all day every day. These are INSANELY comfortable and never run out of battery. Plus the AI noise cancelling feature is a game changer for me when talking to clients while in a loud room. As for comfort, these are almost unbeatable. I would recommend ordering some cloth ear pads off Amazon… the stock ear pads that these headphones come with are comfortable, however, my ears get a bit hot and sometimes sweaty after a little bit of time. But that may just simply be a personal preference… speaking of which, customizing these headphones is super easy. Like I said, want cloth ear pads, order some on Amazon and switch them out in no time at all.

Best headset I’ve ever owned hands down. Don’t mean to glaze but this headset changed my expectations of how any other headset should sound. Lasted me years without any issues or loss of quality. Battery life is infinite thanks to the quick battery change without having to reconnect

The headset works perfectly. The sound that comes out sounds well, especially when you download the software and can customize what type of sounds and FX you can prioritize and save it as a preset up to multiple games. The battery life is also great, as I hardly have to switch it out.Great headset im glad i made the purchase.

Theres just so much to like about this headset. Swappable batteries so you're never waiting for a charge. Bluetooth so you can easily stream music/podcasts/phone calls. Great sound quality. Some people say the pleather earphones can be uncomfortable but I have a rather large head and tend to sweat a bit and they are actually very comfortable to me.. they are a very plush pleather. Also one thing I dont feel like is explained on this headset but not only does it have active noise canceling thay you can turn on and off, it also has active noise passthrough that you can turn on. Very useful when you need to still be aware of your surroundings.

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.

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.

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.
