The perfect headset to replace my turtle Beach elite 800’s

If you’re looking forward to these headphones to be able to hook up to the Arctis app, don’t bother. They’re not compatible so in a nutshell 300+/- headphones from steel series will not hook up to their app. 

Has great sound and feels like a very durable product

Purchased as a gift for my roommate. They love it. Product is strong and intuitive. Service during purchase was great. Answered a few questions and saved me money by singing up for the Best Buy program.

Amazing headset, love the ANC, i would say id like to have the surround sound be a tad bit better... but overall a great addition to my set up.. While i dont use it, the microphone on these are a lot better than the Artics Pro Wireless.

One of the best sounding headsets I have ever owned. The downside is that they aren’t the most comfortable headset I get poked by the speaker in my ear. The circular thing in the middle of the over the ear piece. I’d say there is definitely better options out there If you don’t want your ear poked by the speaker.

It’s ok. Sounds good when it works as I have intermittent disconnects. May have been interference from other devices in my home

best headset ever. this is absolutely the best quality i could ever ask for.

The best gaming headset money can buy! Would recommend to everyone!

Works great, I like them alot more than my A50s. Surround sound is awesome

Best 370$ I ever spent would recommend this product to anyone

The best of the best form the best thank you best buy

Great product! I used SteelSeries Headset since high school! Best Option

One of the best headsets on the market!!!!✌︎('ω')✌︎

I've owned about every gaming headset for gaming. I take my gaming audio as serious as I take with my gaming monitors, consoles, and PC's. These are hands down the BEST headset I've ever used and owned.

They are great once you fix the comfort issue. Had to replace ear pads

I picked up the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for my Xbox Series X and it has been a massive upgrade. The sound is absolutely incredible — super clear highs, punchy but controlled bass, and the 360° spatial audio + SteelSeries Sonar software makes footsteps, gunshots, and game audio pop in a way that actually helps you play better. Comfort is top-tier. It’s lightweight, the headband is super soft, and I can wear it for 6+ hour sessions with zero hot spots or headaches (even with glasses). The hot-swappable battery system is genius — just swap the second battery in the base station and you’re never down for charging. The dual USB base station is awesome too. I can switch between Xbox and my PC instantly without unplugging anything. Mic is crystal clear with good noise cancellation, and my friends say I sound way better than with my old headset. Only tiny nitpick is the stock ear cushions can get a little warm after a long session, but that’s it. Overall this is easily the best gaming headset I’ve owned — worth every penny if you want top-tier wireless performance on Xbox.

Great headset if you can get it for 250$ but if you are going to pay more than that its really not worth it

To address the elephant in the room, these are quite pricey. I have never purchased a gaming headset at this price range. The stars kind of aligned as I was looking to replace my gaming headset, while also being interested in a pair of noise cancelling bluetooth headphones. I decided to take the plunge and commit to using them as often as possible to justify the cost. After doing so, I feel I can say they were worth it for me. Though I have not owned any other headsets as expensive, no other pair I have had has ticked off every box the way this one does. It wireless connectivity has been excellent. Reaching somewhere around 30ish feet away through multiple walls before having any issue. I havent tested out the bluetooth as much but, for range, it seemed satisfactory as well. They plenty comfortable. I prefer the goggle style headband these have as traditional headbands tend to cause some pain after longer sessions of wearing them. The ear cups are a good size as well, and a bit more breathable than I was expecting for leather. Though my ears, of course, still do get warm eventually. I have heard some complaints about the noise cancelling hardware in the ear cup protruding to far. For me, I can occasionally feel it touch my ear but it is not very frequent. I would prefer it not to be the case but its not too big a deal. Though of course mileage may vary based on how it fits your head. I would recommend trying it out if your local Best Buy or other retailer has one on display. Sound quality is absolutely amazing. Now I am not an audiophile and I am sure there are dedicated headphones that can match or beat these for far less. However, compared to its gaming competition? I am extremely happy with how they sound. They 100% provide the best music listening experience I have had out of a gaming headset. They get loud and the sound experience is great for gaming as well. I was pretty surprised at how much bass they pump out overall. However, the sound quality seems to be a bit lesser when it comes to bluetooth. Which wouldn't bother me as much if there was also a bit of background noise when using bluetooth. Which for the price, dissapointed me a bit. Bluetooth is not a perfect technology, but even my pair of 1st gen Razer Opus' dont have background hiss in bluetooth. So something to keep in mind if you plan on using them via bluetooth often. Though it will be less noticeable when playing music. Steelseries engine is one of the better gaming peripheral software suites. Seems to provide plenty of options while being fine to use and doesnt seem to hog resources in the background. It is miles better than Synapse and iCue in my opinion. Though I havent used iCue in over a year now so perhaps the landscape is a bit different now. Regardless, their software suite is certainly not a negative. Similarly, the Dac is a nice to have. I like having a little hub station for it. I do kind of wish it operated like the Astro A50s where I could rest it on the Dac or something those lines. Though it is not the end of the world or anything. The Dac itself has decent options and the dial feels pretty nice actually. The Dac also has separate inputs for Playsation/PC and Xbox which can make using it for 2 setups more intuitive than otherwise. Though I only use it for pc and occasionally mobile via bluetooth. The Dac also allows you to charge the 2nd removable battery while one is in the headset. Basically making battery life a non issue. Which is probably my favorite feature. I havent had to charge this thing a single time since I can just hot swap batteries when low. The battery for the headset and the 2nd battery in the Dac is shown on its display as well so you always know how much juice you have. This system is especially great as the type c port for charging or connecting juts out from the side of the headset. Which is a very awkward angle if you were trying to wear it while plugged in. As for the life of each battery, I dont know specifics. It hasnt been at the forefront of my mind since I dont need to worry about it as much. With that in mind I would say it gets around 15-20ish hours if I had to guess based on my usage. So a good few gaming or music sessions before needing to swap the batteries. All in all, this headset is fantastic. The only real gripes would be the unspectacular bluetooth performance and the pieces that jut out in the ear cup sometimes. Which, for the price, do stick out a bit more than they otherwise would. However, it performs so well in other areas that I would say it has been worth the price for me. As long as it holds up I wont be changing this headset out any time soon.

This isn't just a headset; it’s an ecosystem designed for discerning gamers who demand top-tier sound, comfort, and versatility. Let's break down whether it lives up to the hype. Audio Excellence is the Priority: At the heart of the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is its fantastic audio performance. The custom-designed drivers deliver a rich, detailed soundstage, allowing you to pinpoint in-game audio cues with remarkable accuracy. Whether it’s the subtle rustle of leaves in a stealth game or the booming explosions in a multiplayer match, the headset handles it all with clarity and power. The bass is impactful without being muddy, and the mids and highs are crisp and clear, making for a well-balanced listening experience across various genres. Dual Wireless System: The Key to Versatility: The dual wireless system is a standout feature, allowing seamless switching between 2.4GHz wireless for low-latency gaming on your Xbox or PC, and Bluetooth for connecting to your phone or other devices. This flexibility is incredibly convenient, allowing you to take calls or listen to music without ever removing your headset. The included GameDAC Gen 2 base station is the hub of this system, offering convenient controls and additional audio customization options. Comfort for the Long Haul: SteelSeries has clearly put considerable effort into the comfort of the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. The adjustable headband and pivoting earcups, combined with the soft ear cushions, create a comfortable fit even during extended gaming sessions. The design is sleek and lightweight, avoiding the feeling of clunkiness that plagues some other premium headsets. Microphone Magic: The retractable ClearCast microphone is another highlight. It delivers crisp, clear voice audio with excellent background noise cancellation, ensuring your teammates can hear you clearly during crucial moments. The microphone also has a handy mute indicator, allowing you to quickly silence yourself when needed. GameDAC Gen 2: The Hub of Control: The GameDAC Gen 2 isn't just a wireless transmitter; it’s a sophisticated audio hub with a built-in DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) and an equalizer. This allows for granular control over your audio, allowing you to tailor the sound to your preferences and specific games. The OLED display and dial on the GameDAC make adjustments quick and intuitive. Minor Nitpicks: While largely exceptional, there are a few minor areas for improvement. The price tag is undoubtedly high, placing it at the top end of the market. Also, the earcups can get slightly warm during very long sessions, although this is common for closed-back headphones. The Verdict: The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is a premium headset that lives up to its promise, delivering exceptional audio quality, a comfortable design, and seamless versatility across multiple platforms.
