Customer Ratings & Reviews

I came from the Corsair virtuoso wireless headset. I bought two of those when the first pair broke. I was in need of a new pair after some years of heavy use and tried out these. Initially I hated them but once I found a sound profile I liked because I love surround sound headsets with good surround. I hate/loathe special audio and dts. I found a profile after watching some videos that sounded great with some minor tweaks. Now I can’t imagine going to anything else. Especially the swappable battery is so nice. No more feeling tethered even with wireless. Mic is not as good as the Corsair but it’s more than capable. If you want to get into streaming or something else then you can get a better mic. That is the only down side.

got this gift for my husband who loves it. lovw that its compatible with almost all consoles. love that its wireless and sound quality is great

This is the best headset I've ever owned. It has everything I was looking for in a gaming headset: comfort, sound quality, range, swappable batteries, and mic clarity.

Bought to replace my Razer Kaira Pros. I couldnt hear footsteps and directional before, but now I can hear everything and know exactlt where its coming from. The swappable batteries are nice and ao are all the adjustments that the programs let you do. Enjoying them alot!

I absolutely LOVE this headset. Being able to use it to listen to the Xbox and a Bluetooth device simultaneously is something I never realized I needed until I could do it! The double battery enables me to have a battery charged and ready when I need it... Fantastic Sound! Love it!

Great headset. Feels comfortable even when I wear my glasses. Sound is amazing- you can tune for in-game music or for hearing footsteps more clearly when playing FPS games. Battery life is way beyond what’s stated. Only thing I’d change: make the mute button feel different from the power button. The buttons are close together. I sometimes power off the headset when I mean to mute my mike.

The only downside i have about this thing is the price. Super comfy, great audio, and the battery lasts longer than one of my usual gaming sessions (plus the base station charges the second battery while you play). Awesome!

This headset is crazy-expensive, but definitely the best headset I've ever owned! It's nice to be able to use with PC, Xbox X, One, and PS5. Calls and music whilst gaming is an extra bonus. Two long lasting batteries are really cool too.

The look, the feel, oh and of course, the sound! These are wonderful. Ill compare them to the logitech g pro x wireless. Why do I have both? Because I got an xbox series x and the pro x’s dont work with it. I love my pro xs - in comparison the pro xs are my daily work headphones, and are a bit “sturdier” feeling than the nova pros - the reason i dont bust out the nova pros for work is because theyre so nice i dont like taking them out of the case! The nova pros are much lighter and the ANC is a nice touch,although not super effective. The setup, contrary to whatsome people say is pretty simple. Mine easily switch from xbox to pc and back with the tap of a button. Do yourself a favor and download the sonar app to really unlock the full potential of this premium headset. The extra battery is amazing, youll never have to plug in and youll stay truly “wireless”

The sound quality is awesome and so sensitive on gaming that you hear things other people can't hear when under attack and you can tell where someone's coming from. Microphone is neat because you can pull it out or leave it in the headphone as needed, If you're in the room by yourself with no background noise don't need to extend the microphone. Very comfortable.

The comfort is top tier for a gaming headset, long hours feel just as comfy as the first. The sound is crisp with plenty of bass and the customization settings are so wide for any type of gaming/music/movies. With swappable batteries they last forever and swap out in seconds with never needing to set them down to charge and the gamedac offers so many features that help along the way. Hands down the best headset ive ever had as this is my 5th Steelseries headset I’ve purchased over the years as upgrades or just gifts to other gaming family members.

Really if they are very good wirless headphones, their sound has very good fidelity and very good basses one of the things I liked was that you can connect them to your cell phone via bluethoot and they have a very minimalist look that makes it seem that they are not gamer headphones. The headphones have customizable noise cancellation. They contain two batteries that offer very good performance, they are really worth their price if you are going to use them every day and you are someone who is looking for a good sound for video games

Great headset, I have been buying SteelSeries headsets for a while and I’m constantly impressed by them. The sound quality is excellent and if you ever need ear pads, side plates, or headbands for the headset you can go to their site and buy them for replacing so your headset will always look clean. They come with two batteries so one is always in the gamedac charging while you’re using the other, you’ll never have problems with battery life. And if you want more batteries you can go to their website and buy them.

I’ve owed many top end gaming headsets and they always seem to fall short of expectations. This headset has surpassed my expectations. The ability to separate sound while keeping the bass without making the overall sound muddy is unmatched by the competition at this price range. I play COD heavy and after a quick adjustment to the EQ I’m calling out enemy direction before my teammates hear them. The separate Bluetooth is a great option as they are also good for music or YouTube videos. The ANC (active noise cancellation) is great. Having 2 batteries and quick swap outs means I’ve never had to find a charge cord mid game. Only real complaint is you can hear a very slight high pitch noise when the ANC is off and there’s no sound. Very minor but it’s still an issue.

I decided to treat myself so I did some research to figure out what I would like best if I was switching my audio between Desktop and Xbox. Overall, I love the headphones. I can play for hours without getting a headache. The battery hot swap is a nice touch to the level grinding sessions, so I’m not having cords dangling around to recharge. The sound, is very clean and clear, and you can The biggest bleh factor for me is the price, but again I decided to treat myself and wanted the best, and 5 months later I’m still happy about my purchase.

I give it a 10/10. I waited to give it plenty of time to make sure I could be accurate about my review. I have no complaints. The sound is amazing. The battery life is great. Headset is comfy. And truly wireless.

ANC is great. Double batteries are a great idea for either very long gaming sessions or when you forget to charge the battery (which was a common issue for me on other headsets I have owned). The base looks kind of basic, but allows plenty of customization and control. SteelSeries' software may not be the best, but it's decent enough to not warrant any missed stars here. Headset is sturdy, feels high quality and works and sounds great.

The most comfortable headset I've purchased by far. And I've been through quite a few brands, as well as another model from this brand. Now add great audio quality, awesome audio presets, the mix amp to adjust game/chat audio with ease, its light weight materials, noise cancellation, Bluetooth, retractable mic, an extra battery that's always charging, easy setup, a very impressive wireless range (for bathroom runs, just remember to mute)....and OMG what is there not to love! The price? Well worth it in my opinion. First headset in a long time that I've bought that didn't give me buyers remorse. Even with that price tag. Get one!

Okay, so at $350, they're a bit pricey. Let's get that out of the way. Especially considering that the Geeksquad protection (which I feel is mandatory on something like this) is $129. It's crazy to think that the cost of the headset plus the Geeksquad is almost as much as a brand-new Series X or PS5. However, I was fortunate to pick them up when they went on sale for $100 off. All that being said, they are amazing!! I have all three consoles and many Bluetooth devices, so I definitely wanted something that would function properly with everything. I love the fact that I can simultaneously use Bluetooth on my mobile phone while using either console. It's a feature that has become mandatory for me. I answer work calls, or pipe in some tunes to listen to while I'm gaming. This is truly the best, most comprehensive gaming headset available. The extra swappable battery is fantastic, you never run out of juice. The base station gives you ridiculous range and quick access to the most needed features on the fly. For more in depth customization, all you need to do is hook them up to your computer and you can make adjustments to EQ and functionality to suite your taste. My only "complaint" is that the not so little ANC nub they attached to each speaker rubbed very uncomfortably against both of my ears when I first bought them. I don't hold that against Arctis though, it's impossible for them to design something that is going to work perfectly for every head and ear size and shape. Especially when your features are XL like mine. Not everyone is going to experience the issue with the "nub" but it's definitely something you should be aware of, because if you're like me and you can feel it, it's completely unacceptable. Purchasing an upgraded aftermarket earpad will solve this problem. I was already planning on replacing the stock earpads with an aftermarket set made by a great company I have purchased earpads from before. They weren't available when I bought the headset, so sadly I had to put up with the nub for a little while, but they are available now and I would recommend doing some research and picking up a set of the aftermarket earpads regardless of if you can feel the "nub" or not. If you're comfortable spending this much on a headset, just go the distance and get a set of aftermarket earpads as well. It's the cherry on top of an otherwise absolutely stellar headset.

I'll start by saying I absolutely love this headset. It's comfortable, works great, had zero issues with it so far. I use it on my Xbox Series-X and it sounds significantly better than my previous headset (Astro A50s, although they had more bass, they weren't as clear, and my buddies say this one is much better on their end as well) my favorite thing is the swappable batteries, so you always have one ready to go, vs having to break out a 15ft usb cord because you forgot to charge it one night (or in the case of my astros... the base was super finicky about the headset resting just right to charge.)
