They fit very well, adjustable, and are very comfortable while you’re gaming or listening to music, sound equalizer is very easy to learn and very adjustable to fit whatever game you need it for, audio quality is fantastic, and they have a very sleek design. Overall a very good purchase and worth the price!

I had high hopes for these as I spent hours and hours of research on them, but unfortunately I was let down. For starters, the sound quality is about same as cheapy headsets. While all the preset equalizers to chose from is neat, I feel they spent too much time and money into that instead of the sound quality. The ANC is slim to none, which was the biggest disappointment. After giving them a chance for a week, I went and returned as spending $300+ dollars on this headset was ridiculously high when I can spend $50 to get same effect. I love steel series keyboard, mouses, etc. but these headphones are over hyped and over priced :(

Bought these for my husband for Christmas and he's been glued to them ever since. Here's the rundown:
Comfort is A+ - He can wear these for hours without complaint, which honestly says a lot because he's picky about headsets feeling too tight or heavy.
Features that actually work - The mic toggle is super intuitive, volume buttons are right where you'd expect them, and everything feels well thought out. No fumbling around mid-game trying to mute himself.
Battery life is impressive - He's gone multiple long gaming sessions without needing to charge. That alone is worth it when you're used to headsets dying at the worst possible moment.
One caveat - The noise cancelling is decent but if you're comparing to Bose, it's not quite at that level. For gaming purposes though? Totally fine. He can still tune out the household chaos when he needs to focus.
Bottom line: If you're looking for a comfortable, feature-rich gaming headset with great battery life, these deliver. The noise cancelling won't blow you away if you're an audiophile, but for the price and gaming use case, it's a solid buy. Husband gives it two thumbs up!

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.

Great headset with multiple different settings. I use them on ps5 and by far the best sound quality I've ever had. I would definitely recommend the headset. Make sure to go through the manual so you know what each of the different features and settings do so you can customize it to your preference. The dual swap batteries are a really nice feature and super fast to swap out in the middle of a round.

It's been a year and it has held up!!! Was a great buy. Wife been happy for that whole year!!! Don't pass up on this my bros! The Dial for EQ settings is great. The BT capability to use on my phone is great also but..... You can connect to connect to phone and PC at same time. Amazing. Great performance/dollar. It has two battery ports for wireless so you can swap and always be on--charge one batt while you play with one.

Comfort? Check! Sound quality? Check! Battery life? Check! Check! These headphones are a joy to use! Ear pads and headband are extremely comfortable, even after hours of use! The sound is crisp, clear and immersive. You get two, that’s right two batteries! The base charges one while you are using the other so you’re never without power! And you can use them wired too! Worth every penny!

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.

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.

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.

I use my Nova Pro for work and gaming every day. The sound is incredible. Whereas I struggled to hear some of my clients with my old headset, everything is perfectly clear with these. They are super comfortable, and the battery life is great.
