Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use my Nova Pro for work and gaming every day. The sound is incredible. Whereas I struggled to hear some of my clients with my old headset, everything is perfectly clear with these. They are super comfortable, and the battery life is great.

I've been using an Arctis 7 as my primary headset for several years now. I upgraded to this headset five days ago and have had about 40 hours of use with it so far. Some major points. 1) I am still using the original battery. The other is sitting in the charging unit at 100% waiting to be swapped in. At the current rate it looks like I will need to swap the batteries about once a week with very heavy usage. This is outstanding. This is a truly wireless unit if you want it to be, I have only plugged in a cable to upgrade the firmware. 2) The active noise canceling is outstanding as is the passthrough feature. A nearby TV is totally muted, as are fans and other annoyances. I can still hear a very muffled clicking from my mechanical keyboard but it's obnoxiously loud to begin with. The ANC is my favorite feature of this headset. 3) The sound is better than on the Arctis 7/pro/+. If you liked the sound before you'll love it now. 4) The updated Sonar software seems to add a lot of modern functions and is actively being updated and supported by Steelseries. The discord community is thriving and I expect good things. 5) The control unit that acts as the transmitter has a display screen that shows all relevant information. At a glance you can see your volume, chatmix, charge status on both the headset and the spare battery, and more. I love having this thing down there. It's a welcome addition. I also like the new headband adjustments. It's more comfortable to me and feels snugger. It's nice that you can raise the cans up and down for larger heads. The build quality is better than before. I have not had my ears touch the inside speakers like some have mentioned. I think my ears are pretty normal. Maybe it's a problem for people with big ears? I suppose if that's an issue you could replace the pads. It's pretty easy to do. No issue whatsoever for me. I'm pretty excited about these. They have done everything I've wanted in a headset for years. The headset also allows multiple connections at once and has bluetooth which is fantastic but I haven't used these features yet. I am primary a PC gamer. I do look forward to being able to use them to watch movies, though. Buy them now!

I've owned a couple different headsets in the past. But recent life and occupational changes required me to be more mobile, so I went with the wireless version. As dumb as it sounds, the battery swapping feature is amazing and the life of the batteries after swapping out is great. Almost too good to be wireless since I also use(d) earbuds quite a bit. Being able to connect to my PC (or PS4 or Switch using the USB) and cellphone (using Bluetooth) at the same time helps my workflow or game-flow, whichever I'm concentrating on at the time. It's also comfortable and stays on my head way better than previous headsets did. My friends say that the audio quality from my microphone has risen considerably since using this headset. Great product so far. No real complaints.

Upgraded from nova 7 and it's been am amazing change. Better sound quality as well as the hot swap battery. Really makes a difference when you don't have to have a cord dangling down your side. The setting on the dock are nice as well even though they take a bit to get use to. 10/10 would recommend and especially if it's on sale.

love the headphones, sound quality is very good. the comfort of them is better than any headphones i’ve had.

Mic sounds great, and the ability to switch batteries on the fly. You never have to have this thing plug in. You get 40 hours each battery . The noise canceling is what all other gaming headsets wish they could get right, steelseries did it right! Just do not update the headset, with the new update the side tone is inaudible.

[Employee of bestbuy] Trust the reviews on the uncomfortable nub for the microphone on the inside of the ear cup. Even after Stealseries silently updated the headphones to significantly reduced the size of the nub, I still couldn’t wear them for more than five minutes at a time. After getting some larger earpads, the problem was fixed! Other than comfort, these are the best pair of gaming headsets I’ve ever used. They are tuned very bright with a strong sub base so you can hear other players footsteps clearly and feel the explosions. The soundstage is fairly wide and the imaging is acurate so I can pinpoint where other players are. The noise canceling is better than expected and the microphone is okay. But best of all… the base station! I can easily switch between my pc and ps5 through a 2.4Ghz connection, and charge the second battery so I never have to worry about battery life again! In summary: These are fantastic headphones, but work an extra $30 into your budget to get new earpads.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is a great option for gamers looking for a high-quality wireless headset. The audio is clear and crisp, with a wide soundstage that makes it easy to locate enemies in-game. The microphone is also excellent, with good noise cancellation and clear voice capture. The headset is also very comfortable to wear, with a lightweight design and soft ear cups that make it easy to wear for extended gaming sessions. The battery life is good, lasting up to 20 hours on a single charge. Overall, the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is a solid choice for gamers looking for a wireless headset with great sound and microphone quality, and a comfortable fit.

The steelseries nova pro are without a doubt the best headset ive ever owned. i have a very small head and these are pefect. i didnt need to swap to the wicked customs ear pads either. no sound leak they stay firm and planted on my head for an overall amazing experience. the battery life is more than enough. being able to hot swap fresh charged batteries quickly is very convenient. im always ready to game with a pair of fully charged headphones. if youre on PC take advantage of steel series sonar is makes the experience even more incredible. 10/10.

If you're like me and you love "tech" and "gadgets" and "cool stuff" on your desk - this is well worth the pickup. The sound quality and virtual surround sound is great but isn't much to write home about. If you've used one wireless "gaming" headset you've kinda used them all. Wireless technology can only go so far. They are comfortable and I like the adjust ability and portability. I love the Steel Series products, because you can go on their website and buy things like replacement cables, microphones, ear cups, different colored plates and ski goggle bands. I do miss the 'mesh' ear cups from the older versions. The "leatherette" ones on these can get hot and sticky after a while but this is more personal preference than anything, and, knowing Steel Series they'll release some of those ear cups for aftermarket purchase at some point anyways. I've heard the sound/virtual surround sound is much better when hard-wired to the DAC, but I didn't spend this much on a "wireless" headset to use it in wired mode, so I haven't tried and likely never will. :) I'm happy with my purchase and I still use these daily. I like that they don't look super "gamery" with RGB and "gamer" aesthetics all over them. With the included Blue tooth (which operates on a totally separate channel from the 2.4ghz) They are just as usable on an airplane or in the car, as they are at home in a long gaming session. so you're really buying two different sets of headphones if you consider the other usage you'll get out of these. The interchangeable batteries are an absolute game-changer and I can't fathom for the life of me why more headset manufacturers haven't implemented something like this as it seems like such a common sense upgrade.

Best headset I have ever used. Very comfortable, has great sound quality, and the best part has gotta be the hot-swappable battery packs. Being able to connect to multiple devices at the same time is great for working at home. The Game DAC and Sonar make the set-up seamless. SteelSeries is the best.

Right out the box I like the way how they feel on my head. The audio quality is good too! Its not too bass heavy for my liking. It wasn’t until I downloaded the software that I started to fall in love with the headphones. The headphones I upgraded from Had dual channel audio and now I’m able to choose between chat, audio, and game audio. Overall would recommend any one gaming.

Literally the perfect headset. Sound quality is incredible, comfort is through the roof with the earcups, and the extra battery and charging capabilities means you can literally game forever and not have to worry about battery life. I've had one night of a slight earache but as soon as I adjusted the headband, everything was perfect. The only complaint I can see people having is the left ear having the ANC mic sticking out a bit. Those with smaller ears may feel a slight tickle from the mic piece but I'd like to think I have pretty average ears and I don't feel it at all. Obviously, $350 is a lot to spend on a gaming headset. But for those who are okay with it, I would recommend this headset with everything I have.

Love these. They became defective about a year into ownership. But, with the Best Buy Total Rewards, I was able to swap them out. These are far superior to the competition in comfortability and ease of connectivity. After trying the competition, I came running back for these.

Very light headset. Good audio. Infinite power just switch battery within seconds. So far my favorite headset i gotten.

Love these, got them for my wife but enjoy the sound and comfort quality that i had to get another set

amazing headset with amazing sound quality, the batteries last a long time too

The headset works perfectly. The sound that comes out sounds well, especially when you download the software and can customize what type of sounds and FX you can prioritize and save it as a preset up to multiple games. The battery life is also great, as I hardly have to switch it out.Great headset im glad i made the purchase.

[Employee of bestbuy] The elastic band keeps my head from hurting during long gaming sessions and the hot-swappable batterykeeps me gaming when i forget to plug them in. Their Sonar sound software had some major kinks that made me switch away from steelseries with my last headset, but those seem to be resolved and the software is extremely useful. Being able to Bluetooth to my phone while also still being connected to my fomputer is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!!

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.
