Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

This is the best gaming headset I've ever owned. It sounds great in game as well as for music, and the ability to quickly swap out batteries means I don't have to stop using them. Also, I generally hate wearing headsets like this, but these are very comfortable.

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.

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.

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!

I picked up the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and I’m very impressed. The audio is rich and immersive, the wireless base station makes switching between PC, PS5, and Switch super easy, and the hot-swappable battery means I never worry about losing power mid-game. Setup was straightforward, and the build feels high quality. On the flip side, it is pricey—and if you’re mostly gaming in a quiet room you might not fully benefit from the ANC—but if you’re looking for a top-tier headset, this hits the mark

'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.

Stunning Audio quality and exceptional comfort for long gaming sessions. The controls and features are top-tier, and the wireless connection is rock-solid. One of the best headsets you can get.

What you are getting for the price is worth it. An external sound mixer, volumn control, battery charger and system settings hub helps with the overall experience of each game you play. The ability to change the settings so easily to match the game and/or activity you are doing on whatever system you use make this one of the best headset I've ever used. The headset it self is very comfortable and easily adjustable. 100% recommend for those that are casual all the ways up to competitive.

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.

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.

They are really comfortable and the sound quality is great. I really do love the batteries swapping is so easy and convenient

Excellent sound quality. Very comfortable ear muffs for long extended period wearing them while gaming. Easily detectable sounds when listening to movements while playing fps games. I highly recommend this headset! The battery life is really good and having 2 batteries so one is charging while the other is being charged means no down time while gaming which is such a added bonus!

Pros: -Good sound quality, very good if you use the SteelSeries sonar software to adjust EQ and stuff. Without that, it's a bit light on the bass end and sounds very hollow. The software also includes 3D audio simulation to give you a sense of directionality in games and such. -Active noise cancelation if you like that. -Using the soft band for support they're very comfortable to wear for a while, better than most - though if you get pain from headphones easily you're still gonna wind up adjusting them quite a bit as the pressure will still cause discomfort and eventually some pain anyway. Hard to avoid that, and they're not the lightest headphones out there. -Having the two battery packs that quickly swap is very useful for wireless headphones like these, and the USB C charging port for if you can't or don't want to swap batteries is nice to have. Cons: -Sometimes the buttons on the headphones stop working altogether. Happened to me a few times when I swapped batteries, and I found that the only way I could make sure it wouldn't happen would be to intentionally go slow at swapping batteries so it wouldn't have a battery in it for at least 10 seconds (they're designed to automatically turn back on and reconnect if you swap the battery within 8 seconds to minimize how long you're out of a game - seemed like a glitch making the headset get stuck thinking it was off when it wasn't so it was ignoring the buttons or something, not sure, but kills the value of that feature). -The microphone sucks. The fact it can be kept inside the headset where it won't stick out or anything is nice, because I HATE using the microphone on this thing. It sounds awful, and it's way too quiet even with volume levels maxed EVERYWHERE. I tried using it with nVidia Broadcast to see if the AI noise reduction feature would improve quality at all, but it's so quiet that Broadcast can't even tell when I'm talking so it mostly just silences my voice - and I don't feel like yelling in my apartment to try to get it to work. I really wish they would put some effort into making a headset with an actual quality microphone. Price points like this, it's just stupid to have such a bad microphone. -While the wireless latency is good for almost everything, it's unusable for certain things. Personally, I use Rocksmith to practice guitar and learn songs sometimes. You generally can't use wireless headphones for that because the latency makes it extremely difficult to get the timing right and hearing the slight delay between when you play and when the sound comes out can be extremely disorienting. So this 'con' isn't specific to this headset, but to wireless headsets in general, I'm only including it because if you do that kind of stuff where latency is important you should know this is a bad way to go for that. I have to switch to corded headphones whenever I use RS or anything else where audio latency is critical. -Charging port would make more sense if it was somewhere around the edges, rather than underneath the removable plate on the side, pointing directly out. Having it on the bottom, in particular, would mean you could hook up a charging cable while you're wearing them and it would feel like regular corded headphones. Where they chose to put it... is awkward. And you have to keep track of the magnetic plate when you use it.

I really like this headset a lot, the batteries are great and the hotswap function is exceptional. The software is okay, better than most I've used previously but still exceptionally confusing at times. The only reason I'm taking a single star off is the cheap plastic used at the hinges I know will fail. Luckily I have geeksquad protection on it because there is now way they'll last more than 2 years that the warranty lasts. Overall though, if it's within your budget and use use the headset a lot I highly recommend this headset. Oh I replaced the ear pads with improved cooling gel ear pads as the originals hold a little too much heat for my tastes.

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!

Great sound and comfort. Love the battery swap capability. Love the clips function from the software. Easy video creation.

Great sound and seamless wireless headset. Very comfortable and easy to use.

The sound quality is clear with good bass, it’s comfortable to wear for long periods, and setup was quick and easy. Battery life has been solid so far and it works exactly as advertised. For the price, this is a great buy and I’d definitely recommend it.
