They are great. Just the noise canceling things touch ear but you can buy extension pads.

I bought them for my ps5 to use the tempest audio system. They work great, and I don’t have to worry about battery running out because of the spare. Moreover, I can use them with my phone when I’m outside because of the Bluetooth feature. They have good anc and a mutable mic that retracts in when not in use. These are the last pair of headphones you’ll probably ever need.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Wireless Headphones – A Gamer's Dream Come True
I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Wireless headphones for a few weeks now, and honestly, they’re impressive on almost every front. Whether you're deep into competitive gaming or just want premium audio for your music or movies, these headphones deliver.
Sound Quality:
The audio is incredibly clear and immersive, with a rich soundstage that’s especially noticeable in games like Call of Duty or Valorant. The 360° Spatial Audio really makes you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. The bass is punchy but not overpowering, and the highs are crisp.
Comfort & Build:
These are built for long sessions. The elastic headband and soft memory foam ear cushions are super comfy—no pressure headaches, no ear fatigue. They’re lightweight too, which is a big plus for all-day use.
Wireless Performance:
Connectivity is flawless. The low-latency wireless via the included dongle is seamless, and switching between devices using Bluetooth is quick and painless. Battery life is also solid—I got over 30 hours on a single charge, and fast charging gets you back up and running quickly.
Microphone:
The mic is retractable and does a great job of isolating your voice from background noise. Teammates in Discord said I sounded super clear, even when I had a fan on nearby.
Software & Features:
The SteelSeries GG software gives you tons of customization—EQ presets, sidetone control, mic monitoring, etc. You can really fine-tune your audio exactly how you want it.
Overall:
At this price point, the Nova Wireless stands out. It’s a perfect blend of high-end audio, comfort, and versatility. Whether you’re gaming, working, or just jamming to music, these are a solid investment.

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 can't recommend this headset enough. There is no perfect gaming headset out there but this comes pretty close. There are too many good things about this headset to gush about but I'll choose several. The swappable battery that charges via the hub is a genius idea. It saves a USB port on my desktop because I don't ever have to plug it in to charge it. The dual Bluetooth and dongle (hub) connectivity allows me to connect my phone and desktop at the same time. I can listen to and easily control music from my phone while playing games. I can also leave my desk and continue to listen to audio on my phone without switching anything. Basically these headphones stay on my head at all times while I'm at home. Finally while you can adjust the audio of this headset on your desktop via an equalizer (separate app download) I found that out of the box the sound this headset produces is very good. If you are an audiophile I'm sure you ould recommend headsets with better fidelity but I tried 3 other gaming headsets before this and this one sounded the best. Best way to describe it is the bass, mid and high all sound distinctly separate (nothing echoes or bleeds). Voices in games sound clear and crisp.
I finally found the gaming headset for me. 100% worth the price.

I’ve been using this headset for a few weeks now and overall, I’m really impressed. The sound quality is excellent — whether I’m gaming, listening to music, or taking calls, everything comes through crisp and clear with deep bass and balanced highs. The battery life is another huge plus; I can go several days without charging, even with heavy use.
It’s also very reliable for gaming — no lag, solid connectivity, and the mic picks up voice clearly without much background noise. Music lovers will definitely enjoy the audio depth and clarity.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to some ear irritation after long periods of use. The ear cups are snug, which is great for noise isolation, but they can get a bit uncomfortable after a few hours. It’s not a deal-breaker, but definitely something to keep in mind if you plan on wearing them for extended sessions.
Still, for the price and performance, this headset is a solid choice!

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.

Top-Notch Quality and Comfort – For Large Heads!

'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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
