This headset is easily one of the best gaming audio purchases I’ve made. The sound quality is incredibly clear with deep bass and excellent spatial audio, making it perfect for FPS gaming and immersive single-player games. Wireless performance is flawless with zero noticeable latency.
The dual-battery system is a game changer—you never have to stop gaming to charge. Comfort is top-tier as well, even during long sessions, and the active noise cancellation works surprisingly well for a gaming headset.
If you’re serious about audio quality, comfort, and premium features, this headset is absolutely worth it.

I love this headset. Comfortable and a cool concept to have batteries to switch. The batteries also last all day (as I literally end up sleeping in my headset). I would really recommend this headset. Great fro gaming and just using in general. You can also charge the headset with a cord, so there are a lot of options!

Owned for 1 year now. Sounds in Black Ops 6 are amazing (Sucker Punch, custom EQ set in the DAC (All Freqs Maxed Out) able to hear footsteps, reloads with pretty good positional awareness. I do not use the GG software (too many running processes) DTSx Headphone app works good but costs $20 USD for lifetime use with updates and usually have to select it each time I boot up the Computer. ANC is reason I purchased, Very good EXCEPT I recommend Wicked Ear Cushions as they are Thicker and the metal ANC microphones will not touch your ears! The DAC is easy to learn and has several tweaks for personal adjustment. Dual Batteries are awesome, 4 to 5 hour use with ANC and Hot Swap to keep on playing! Mic quality is OK.

I came across these headphones on a Google search because I wanted to replace the older model SteelSeries. To make it easier to read (and write):
1. [CONNECTION] Not entirely wireless. Comes with a base box to plug into a device incompatible with its Bluetooth capability, but no wires from headphones to anything. Connects fine with my S21 Ultra phone, but need the box to connect to PS5.
2. [SOUND] Video game sound is 4.8/5. Music is 5.0/5.0. Overall sound is 4.8/5 (It didn't score perfectly because every now and again there is an annoying feedback.
3. [FIT] Like someone holding soft pillows on the ears.
4. [NOISE CANCELATION] Allows for immersive gameplay, exercise, and/or meditation. When it's time to submerge into a project with music or just submerge yourself in sound, put these on.
5. [OVERALL] I think you'll be happy with your purchase of these headphones, but I wouldn't mind trying some other headphones just see how they compare.

I've owned several higher end gaming headsets and this is hands down the best yet. They are not without a few flaws but over all experience is fantastic.
Out of the box sound quality is outstanding and the software allows the headset to be EQ to fit your own needs. No head shaking bass by default but that can absolutely be EQ'd into it. I've not heard any distortion while using the EQ either which is rare and evidence of a good quality driver. Great situational awareness is fantastic, they have a very solid 3d space you can hear and track where sounds are coming from, above, below, behind etc. These are well worth the upgrade from the previous version without going into technical reasons they are just hands down better, look better, sound better and I feel have a better build quality. Compared to a few others, I think these perform and sound better than Astro A50, A40 /w mixamp, Previous version of Steel Series Arctis Pros, they are "On-par" with my Apple Airpod max, in some situations sound better, the sub bass is impressive and comparable to my Shure SE846 IEM which is a $1,000+ IEM that has a dedicated sub /w lowpass filter.
You won't find many negative reviews on these and for good reason, they are expensive but worth it. Some confusion I've seen the difference between the Xbox version and the PS5/PC version. Here is what you need to know on that. If you have all 3 and plan to use them wirelessly with all 3 get the Xbox version. If your PS5 is close to your PC and you want to switch between the two without unplugging anything, get the PS5 version.
The xbox version basestation has a dedicated xbox usb port and 1 normal usb port, the ps5 version has 2x usb ports so the PS5 version will work with xbox but not wirelessly. You'll have to use the 3.5 cable and plug into a xbox controller, flip side the xbox version will work with both PC and PS5 wirelessly but you still only have the 2 usb ports and the xbox one will ONLY work on xbox leaving you to 1 port so you can't hook all 3 to it at the same time.

Great multi-channel headset that lets me game and take calls at the same time what’s not to love. The dock/amp houses a spare battery so you will never be waiting to charge this headset also if your gaming and not using Bluetooth mode but have it paired to your phone then enabling Bluetooth mode while a call is incoming will automatically answer.

Best gaming headset I’ve ever used. Extremely comfortable, the elastic band on your head makes it feel like you’re not wearing a headset at all. And even due to the ANC and leather ear pads “needing to be tighter on your head” for them to “function correctly” you can barely feel those either. They work flawlessly with my Ps5 Pro. ANC is also very good, you can still hear some background noise if nothing is happening in your game. (Aka if you’re paused or what not) but once there is ant noise from your game, NPCs, dialouge, music etc, nothing and I mean NOTHING comes through. Also the battery pack system is very good, you never have to charge the headset essentially. I would highly recommend these specifically or any SteelSeries product

All you need is this Headset. Expensive but perfect ! Are there any negatives ? Yes there are!
First of all when I switch the headset off the bluetooth remains on son I need to remember switching bluetooth off too.
The Steelseries GG app lets you arrange all the spesifications for it yet when I turn it on I still need to go in the Sonar app and select the headset as means of speaker. I wish it switched automatically when I turn the headset on.
Not so good for travelling as it might fall off your head if you move a lot which I dont move a lot so that"s not a problem on my side.
I really liked the sound quality and FPS performance of this, if you have the budget dont miss.
I used the black one for a couple of weeks and I cant help but notice that the white one is more comfortable, idk why

Hello! I have had these for almost a year. I absolutely love these headphones. A lot of people say they are over kill but I can hear even the quietest of things. I love being able to play skate and listen to music. It has great quality sound and I wear them around the house and they are incredibly comfortable. They are well used and I lost the plate on the other side of them. I have also gardened in them. Great pair of headphones and high quality.

At first i was a bit worry that I wasn’t going to like the product because was my first time baying a gaming headset and never like them because discomfort and sound wasn’t that good but i can say by using this headset for over two months that i love it and is amazing, i used on my ps5 pro and my onexplayer f1 pro and my Lenovo leging go and works amazing on pc has more customization that you can do to take advantage of the headset, i can say that the steel series pro was the best headset so far for me.

Got it for the PS5, works better than PlayStations own headset. It Auto switches sound to the headset unlike the PS headset. Sound quality is noticeably better and muting is way easier because you can use the PS controller to mute. Battery life is a noticeable upgrade from the PS headset and with swappable batteries it makes for a way better experience. Definitely recommend!!!

They are great pair of wireless gaming headsets! Has unlimited battery life! Sound is good not great. Noise cancellation is a meh and the microphone is okay. My opinion, I would prefer A50 Astro all around. But for the price of 275$ instead of the 300$+ is a W. If you have the chance to get them in a discount! Definitely worth the money!!

I have to say - this headset exceeded my expectations. Not only is it sleek and practical but the audio quality is pristine, and the customizability (whether from the OLED base station or the SteelSeries Sonar app) is a huge plus. It's an excellent headset all around.

Ive owned 4 versions of the steelseries wrieless pro over the years. 2 were in the previous model and 2 in thr current nova model. While the nova sounds pretty crisp once you mess with the settings, I have an issue with how it no longer allows you to have sound playing from the tv and the headset simultaeously. You can only do one or the other at a time. The previous model allowed this. Had the batteries not lost much of their consistent charge after constantly using them over 2 years, I would have kept it. This is still a great headset especially if you take advantage of the PC upgrade. I am on console, so I only have access to what is in the DAC. Do not use the default settings. They are horrible. I found some amazing settings via reddit and made slight adjustments to their recommendations per my personal preference. I mostly play apex legends, fortnite, and single player games. If you want a reliable headset and can afford it, get these. If you can find the previous model the arctis pros, get those and get extra batteries right off the back. Hard to find new.

These were a no brainer once my steel series pro wireless started going out after six brutal years of continuous work and use! The Nova upgrade was must and I’m so glad I did! These things are amazing and subtle upgrades from the pro are clutch! I know these will be as great as the former already!
