The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless are without a doubt an excellent headset. The build quality is very solid, and they are extremely comfortable, even during long gaming sessions.
When you use them with the SteelSeries GG software and its Sonar system, the audio quality improves even more. You can select specific presets depending on the game you are playing, which gives you a perfectly balanced sound profile.
You can also turn spatial audio on or off to make the experience more immersive, and adjust its intensity to your preference.
There are great presets not only for gaming, but also for music, movies, and even the microphone.
In addition, you can prioritize either game audio or voice chat directly from the DAC or by using the physical volume wheel on the headset, which is very convenient.
The charging system is incredible. It essentially allows you to use the headset almost indefinitely because you never have to plug it in. While you are using one battery in the headset, the other one is charging in the base station. When one battery runs out, you simply swap it with the charged one in seconds. It is an extremely convenient and well designed system.
That said, the active noise cancellation is not outstanding in every situation. It works quite well when you have game audio or any content playing through the headset. However, if nothing is playing, the ANC does not really block out outside noise. In short, while you are actively gaming or consuming content, the ANC performs very well.
The Bluetooth audio quality when connected to an iPhone is decent, nothing extraordinary. I would say AirPods Pro sound noticeably better over Bluetooth. However, when connected to a PC and used with the software, the audio performance is absolutely brutal. In that scenario, I am confident no other headset can beat them.

Extremely comfortable for long use, great sound. The swappable batteries mean never having to hook up a charging wire or wait for it to charge up. The controls on the base are easy enough to adjust once you're used to selecting each one. The noise cancellation is absolutely amazing.
I'd had the Arctis 3 wired headset and loved everything about them but the cord getting in my way, but this is such an upgrade. Glad I got them!

best headset on the market right now, go grab a pair now, the price point is high but it is worth the price point, not many products can claim that, but if you are willing to spend any high amount of money on a gaming headset, this is the one.
pros
. battery life and yes they have an extra battery included. most would not do that.
. software, their software is amazing from their AI noise canceling and AI clear cast mic is just top of the line.
. Sonar sound-enhancing software is top-of-the-line and can compete with Atmos.
go buy one today!

Unbeatable Hi-Res + Excellent Sonar software. No other gaming headset can deliver this. For that, it is worth every penny. My onli advice is to get after market cooling ear cups from Wicked Cushions. The stock cups would overhear my head instantly.

Does this headset justify a 400$ price tag ?

So far so good !
sound quality is good
Noise cancelling cancels my fan so that’s definitely good. Only complaint is every now and then i just get loud static and I have to turn off my headset and turn it back on, minor inconvenience but still for that price tag I expect near perfection. Is this a good headset? YES! Does that justify the 400$ price tag ? I myself feel like it’s No and I’m VERY pleased with the console . Hot swapping batteries makes charging my headphones a thing of the past ! Not to mention the Bluetooth duo functionality which lets you be connected to your phone and console at the same time . If you’re looking for a headset with good sound and all the bells and whistles than this headset is for you . If you’re just looking for a good headset and don’t care for noise cancelling and dip blootooth there’s more better economical headsets that give you that bang for your buck!

I love these headphones. It’s a good investment for gaming enthusiast. SteelSeries is definitely one of the best headphones I have used, I even owned the previous version which I gave to my daughter for her PS5 console. It’s convenient for long battery hours of game play and easy to swap the battery for hours of game play. The sound is phenomenal. Yes it’s pricey, but worth every dollar. I play games like BO6 and Marvel Rivals, I must say it’s nice hearing foot steps coming near you, so it gives you the upper hand to attack or evade. Works awesome with both console and PC.

Best gaming headset ever. You ccan listen to your music via bluetooth on your phone while simultaneously be plug into you console or PC. The sound quality is so clear its almost a cheat code for hearing footsteps. The only issue is the distance you can go with it. The unlimited battery life is the best part.

This headset is incredible. I had been using the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless, which I loved, but its base station didn't output game audio through the line out port (while the headphones were in use), so I couldn't use the headset with my PS5 while streaming through my Elgato HD60S+. (The PS5 only outputs audio over either the USB headset or over HDMI, not both.)
Anyways, the Arctis Nova Pro headset was just recently announced and solves this specific problem. You can even customize the mix of your game audio and microphone/aux levels on the OLED (the Nova base station also has an aux audio input for mixing in an external audio signal).
The headphones are also incredible and super comfortable (actually more comfortable than the Arctis Pros); the build quality is great, and I've had no problem fitting them to my head. I've never used active noise cancelling till now, but it also works great with these headphones. It also has a transparent mode that works well.
The Arctis Nova unit also resolves a pretty annoying problem I had with my Arctis Pro headset when using bluetooth with it paired to my Pixel 6 Pro. Not sure if this problem was unique to the Pixel and the Arctis Pro, but the phone would constantly pop up the bluetooth volume adjustment bar any time I used my Arctis Pro Wireless headphones over bluetooth, as if it was having to reestablish connection every time I clicked on something.
Anyways, that problem is completely resolved now, so this unit is a perfect streaming and bluetooth solution for me.
The base station also allows for two simultaneous connections, so I can connect it to both my PS5 and my Macbook pro for updates, which I haven't tested yet.

I bought these because my other artics broke from the shell. I’m really enjoying the sound quality. I haven’t yet tuned them to pro standards, but I’m using sonar and it sounds great the bass a treble sound beautiful. The headset feels light on the head the extra battery is a plus. Mostly use it for pc dont.

Bought this to replace my old Razer Nari Ultimate. This was the only headset with sound quality that came even Close, and this is dead on in quality. The exchangable battery Design means maximum uptime, and the dual channel switching was a nice touch for me, even if I don't think it's Too necessary. The only place it really suffered for me is set up. For the life of me, I couldn't get it to work correctly for the first 12 or so hours, largely because my computer wasn't able to recognize all of the separate audio outputs it provided (Gaming, Chat, Etc). Even now, I sometimes have to reinstall the steelseries software just to ensure that the outputs work correctly. Overall, it was well worth the trouble, and I readily got the best buy warranty when it was apparent. Literally the only thing keeping this thing from max score was the initial setup difficulty, but that it IT. Fantastic quality.

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!

Great gaming headset. They’re literal perfection for pc gaming. Having a spare battery is such a step up that it’ll make charging your headset with a cord feel like a thing of the past. The app also allows for all kinds of extra settings that really increase your experience based off your own preferences. Couldn’t recommend this headset more!

The wireless adapter and multi connection work amazingly. The microphone is subpar for a $300 + dollar headset. Very staticky and doesn’t sound great on the receiving end. The sound quality is amazing. The headset is comfortable. Compared to the Logitech Pro X Wireless headset I’d say the mic is worse, but the comfort is better. They also feel more firm and reliable. The swappable batteries are also a plus, one charges while you use the other, never have to plug it in if you don’t want and only takes a few seconds to swap the batteries.

Great Headset with a few things to note

I have changed to these headphones from Astro A50's Gen 4. These are a great upgrade and I feel work much better for PC than the Astro's did.
Positives:
Sonar - Great for FPS Titles and hearing Footsteps
Noise Canceling - Is great and really does limit what you can hear outside, this is able to be configured to your liking if you don't want ANC always on.
Dual Audio Streams - The software and device does allow for this and it's been great.
Battery Life - I wear this headset probably around 7-10hrs a day and can typically get around 15hrs out of each battery, but since this comes with 2 batteries one is always charging and I am never down on power.
Cons:
Software - Now this may vary per person, but since I use a Elgato Wave Mic 3 it has it's own software and trying to get these two to work well with each other can be a little frustrating. I would say with enough time and tinkering you should have no problems, but some little things do come up and have to make changes.
Comfort - So overall the comfort of this headset are decent, but the EarCups are a common complaint as they can be prettty small for people like myself. Also they can get warm since SteelSeries doesn't offer Mesh option since these are a different size compared to all their other models. Also note that many people complain about the speaker that sits in the middle of and pokes out a bit more than people like and can also hit your ear, I didn't have this problem but was aware of it prior to purchasing. I did upgrade my EarCups to the WC FreeZe Cooling Gel and these are a MUST HAVE they made all the difference for comfort and heat control.
Overall:
I am happy with my purchase I would just like to see in the future other options from the factory for ear cup changes since I don't like the Leather Cups and always prefer to Cloth. Like I stated above the WC FreeZe are perfect replacement and made this headset amazin.g

The best gaming headphones I've ever used. As high quality as my Sony xm3 and xm4s. The sound is excellent and even works for music and phone calls thanks to the standalone Bluetooth. Connection to all of your devices is easy and convenient. Tons of sound customization, as well as different earcups, headbands, and side covers are available to purchase. It has two hot swappable rechargeable batteries than are stored and charged in the base station. If you have the money and want the best, get these
