Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Multi-Gaming Headset for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Here’s why it stands out as one of the best gaming headsets on the market: Design & Comfort The headset boasts a sleek, premium design that feels as good as it looks. The adjustable headband and memory foam ear cushions provide exceptional comfort, even during marathon gaming sessions. The materials feel durable yet lightweight, making it perfect for extended use without causing fatigue. Audio Quality The sound quality is nothing short of incredible. The Hi-Res Audio and active noise cancellation (ANC) deliver crisp, immersive audio, allowing me to hear every detail in games like [e.g., Call of Duty or Elden Ring]. The customizable Parametric EQ is a game-changer, letting me fine-tune the audio profile to my liking. The spatial sound is top-notch, offering precise positional awareness that enhances gameplay. Wireless Performance The dual wireless system with 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and reliable. I can easily switch between my PC, PlayStation 5, and even take calls on my phone without missing a beat. The hot-swappable batteries are a fantastic feature, ensuring I never run out of power mid-game. Microphone The retractable ClearCast Gen 2 microphone is crystal clear and does an excellent job of filtering out background noise. My teammates have noticed a significant improvement in communication quality compared to my previous headset. Software Integration The SteelSeries GG software offers robust customization options, from tweaking the EQ to managing audio profiles. The Sonar Audio Suite makes it easy to optimize the headset for different games and applications. Build Quality The build is solid and exudes quality, with a mix of metal and high-grade plastic. It feels like a headset built to last, and the premium materials justify the price tag.

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.

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

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.

Best Features: Multi Connect: It is super nice having my computer and phone connected at the same time. Swappable Batteries: The battery life is amazing and having a hot swap already charged is great. Great: Sound Quality: With some few tweaks and the internets help you can get them sounding the way you like them. The app is a but much for me but has some good features. Comfort: The headphones are light and comfortable. They don't make my ears that hot (still closed back headphones) Had them now for 6 months and the leather pads are still great. Good: Noise Canceling: It is good. As someone with ADHD it is nice to block out some of the distractions. It doesn't block a lot of the AC or fan noise that well. Cons: Settings Beep: When you change settings or are running low on battery, you will know. It plays a very loud beep compared to the content you are consuming. Price: they are pricey Falling Off: They like to slip off my head if I look down or tilt my head back. They never fall off but they like to slide.

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.

The sound quality for games are incredible, the music on them sounds good but the bass in music is sometimes off a little. I love how comfortable they are to wear. The best part of the headset is the ability to switch the output of audio with a click of a button. And its very convenient having the 2 batteries with it because it practically never dies which is normally an issue with other wireless gaming headsets.

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.

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!

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.

This headset is really comfortable and lightweight and actually one of the best gaming headsets I own it’s really durable and comes with two batteries which is really good for wireless headset standards since one is always fully charged when you run out on one and the amount of stuff you can change with steel series gg with sound is amazing definitely would buy again

If you take gaming seriously, whether competitive or casual, the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is worth the investment. It gives you pro-level features, reliable performance, and versatility. I’d give it 5 stars for overall gaming experience. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it’s easily one of the best gaming headsets I’ve owned. The combination of features, comfort, and sound performance makes it perfect for both competitive play and long hours in front of the screen. The ANC (active noise cancellation) does a solid job of cutting out background distractions, and the transparency mode is great when I need to hear something (like someone talking or a doorbell) without taking the headset completely off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

-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

So far so good. I love to amazing sound they produce. Fittment is nice and comfortable amd i tuning sofeware for these are great. I love how you can change so many thing though the steel series app. I would highly recommend. I previously had the Asto A50

The elastic band keeps my head from hurting during long gaming sessions and the hot-swappable batterykeeps me gaming when i forget to plug them in. Their Sonar sound software had some major kinks that made me switch away from steelseries with my last headset, but those seem to be resolved and the software is extremely useful. Being able to Bluetooth to my phone while also still being connected to my fomputer is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!!
