The good thing about this headset is the feature set. The simultaneous Bluetooth and extra hot swappable battery are two great features. Also, steel series GG software is legitimately the most useful software I've ever used and has a wild amount of sound customization. Sadly, that's where the good ends. This headset is poorly made. It feels like a plastic children's toy. Plastic isn't a big issue and can safe weight and money but only in the right places. The most concerning of which is the seam on the plastic arm the holds the earcup swivel. It was super flimsy right out of the box and just spreading the headphones as if I'd be putting them on my head and moving the headphones around caused that seam to open and bend. This area was either overlooked or meant to be a point of failure. The earcups are also on-ear for the most part unless I have freakishly large ears and that's just a no no for me. As for the actual sound quality, I wasnt impressed. It doesn't sound like you're there, it sounds like you're listening to a program playing audio through a speaker. As a person who has been spoiled by headsets with AMAZING sound stages that feel full and super natural I hated the nova for it's sound. The GG software did what it could and I spent a long time trying my best to rectify the downfalls of it's audio but I just couldn't. The mixing, mastery of audio, and it's sound curve are all just way to all over the place and sound cheap. I could see a more casual gamer the doesn't spend as much time in game loving these but as a shut in who's always online I returned these day two.

The headset is comfortable to wear for a decent amount of time. I like the look and having the station to control the audio presets. However, I have yet to use it for one full session on either my PS5 or my computer where the sound quality didn't get static and lose quality. I have also had a multitude of problems with the headset essentially freezing while viewing videos/movies. There have also been a lot of issues where removing the battery from the headset was necessary as it began turning off and on, connecting to the station, and disconnecting over and over again. Overall, I am extremely disappointed in this purchase and feel that at the price point these issues should not exist. If you're looking for a good all around headset that's wireless, I suggest you look elsewhere because this is not a quality product.
