Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best gaming headset I’ve ever had. The 3D audio has made me a more confident player when playing aggressive because of how I am able to pinpoint where the opposing player is. The sound quality is absolutely amazing. The weight of the headset is super light and comfy. One of my favorite features is the ability to exchange the batteries so that you never have to charge the headset while playing. The customizable EQ takes the sound to a whole new level and allows you to prioritize what’s important to you. For me, I play a lot of Warzone and prioritizing footsteps has literally changed my game. Yes, they are expensive but a great investment if you have the means.

Coming from a Razer Kraken V3 I like these better for a few reasons. Sound quality and localization are very similar. I find the mic noise cancellation superior on the Steelseries. Which really helps in a noisy environment. The active noise cancellation in the headphones is far superior on the Steelseries. The sound quality doesn't really degrade with the noise cancellation turned on. With both the mic noise cancellation, as well as drowning out the outside world when listening to music, movies, and gaming. I find the Steelseries far superior. Battery life 1 - Unit comes with 2 batteries, but you are not requried to plug in the headset when your battery is dying (this is an option). Instead, the base unit charges your second battery while you are using the headset. It is a very simple change and can be done with nothing more than a short pause. The batteries last a very long time on a charge so swaps are rare. 2 - If you wear glasses as I do, you will find the ear cups don't press against the frames near as bad as other brands. These are the only ones I can use for hours without this becoming uncomfortable. 3 - The retractable mic seems very well built. I have used these daily for about 3 months. Being able to just push it up into the headset when walking around the house listening to music is a blessing. I can tell you how many mics I have lost over the years. 4 - Wireless range is good for a headset. I can get to about 50 feet with multiple walls in between before they start breaking up. Hope this helps when on the fence between this and the Kraken

I bought these headphones because my previous SteelSeries headphones were trying to reshape my ear into an impression of my hearing aid and glasses, and a review I read said the Arctis Nova Pro had super comfortable cushions. They are the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned. The cushions are extremely soft, and my head doesn't feel squeezed in a vice. I regularly wear them for hours at a time. The sound quality is superb. If the game has spatial sound, I can hear critters sneaking up on me even better than with my previous SteelSeries headphones. These are worth the upgrade. If you haven't had surround sound headphones before, you might be disappointed in the sound on a Windows PC because Windows does not include any support for it. Look in the Microsoft store for "Dolby Access". It's worth the money because when you turn on "Spatial Sound" and use "Dolby Atmos for headphones" you will get beautiful simulated surround sound. It's almost as good as the LG 9.1.5 soundbar on my TV. The only negative is the software SteelSeries wants you to install. It works well, but it kept nagging me to use features I don't need to the point where it felt like it was sending information about what I was doing with my computer back to the company. It also popped up an ad for another model of their headphones only 2 weeks after I had bought a pair. I ended up uninstalling the app, and I lost count of all the things it removed at 30. Rough guess it was around 50 little executables that were running in the background on my computer. That's just too much for my taste. YMMV

I LOVE THIS HEADSET! I was a hardcore ASTRO A40 TR user for many years but grew tired of the cords and had already had a bad experience with the A50s. After doing some research I stumbled upon these and loved the idea of swappable batteries and immediately bought them. They are so comfortable, great sound quality with Dolby atmos and have essentially unlimited battery life since I can hotswap batteries within seconds even with the headset still on my head. Great buy and don't know if I'll ever go back to Astros after these ones!

I had to replace my old Astro wired headset, and I am loving this one. Easy initial setup, lightweight, comfortable, and fantastic sound quality. The only two things I would change are the location of the mute button being on the back of the left side and having the mic extend just a little bit further.

This is an excellent headset with great sound, comfort, and features. One of my favorite things about this is the chat/game mixer that lets you adjust the sound of a game while reducing the sound of chat programs. Great when gaming and chatting in Discord. It's great having 2 batteries as well with one always beingnready to go fro, being charged in the deck. I gave it 4 stars because the Steel Series Sonar program that controls everything will sometimes bug out and the mixer feature won't work. You have to disconnect the usb c cable from the badk of the control deck and plug it back in to clear up issues.

These are by far the best steelseries headphones I have owned. Now that being said I have owned over 10 pairs of headphones I'm very picky with my audio. These are a great gaming headset. They are not however a hi-fi headset as implied in the marketing. That doesn't mean they aren't good. Pros. Good audio for gaming casual listening Light weight Extremely comfortable Good range Best software in the business. Cons Not hi-fi in the wireless version only 48kz and it can only go to 16khz when you use the sonar software. ( Which is arguably the best reason to get these headphones) Bluetooth doesn't auto turn off when you power down headset ( make sure you turn it off after) Overall these are a great gaming headset with good audio quality. The software makes it shine by far. I think these will be my daily use for gaming and my audeze Penrose will be for my hi-fi audio needs.

The good: Sound quality is excellent, as is positional audio with the GG software. GameDAC 2 hotswappable battery removes charging downtime. Extremely comfortable to wear for long sessions. Great range on wireless, holds signal very well. The bad: Mic quality is mediocre at best, treble requires some EQ to work through. Cost at $350 is excessive and really not worth the premium over the Arctis Nova 7s. Definitely get them on sale if possible.

There is a reason this headset has the industry reviews they do. They're the best. They sound great for games, music, movies, all of it. The settings are numerous for all those things as well. The side by side bluetooth connection to other devices is way more helpful than it has any right to be. The mic placement is nice and being retractable is perfect. The battery system is brilliant. Having on the external controller is also a nice thing to have visually for both volume control and settings on the fly. They are also built solid. They don't feel cheap in any part of the build at all. I gave them 5 stars, even though there are some caveats. Comfort wise, I have a larger head and the strap (adjustable) digs into my scalp on longer gaming sessions. For *most* people I don't see this being an issue, and I admit they sit a little oddly on my head. The earcups MUST be replaced with after-market ones. The stock foam earcups rub the active noise cancelling mic just underneath the cup itself causing feedback/static. I had worried my new $350 headset was defective when it's actually a known issue with various models of this headset. The only solve that works 100% of the time (google/reddit are your friend here) is replacing the cups with third party ones. The set I bought are also way more comfortable than the stock pads. I slept on getting a pair of these for years and now look back regretting not having bought them sooner. You won't be disappointed.

I like the fact that it sounds amazing in every aspect, has swappable batteries for continuous use and the Bluetooth capabilities it is comfortable to wear all day its suprisingly comfortable, the noise cancelation setting works very well, and also the full customization of the settings and you can tune to your exact preference

This Headset has always caught my attention since its release.. I bought them at launch and was so upset as the ANC nubs would literally test against my ears causing too much discomfort, and comfort is most important to me, the sound, the features, were extremely impressive of course. However, I just bought the PlayStation version of these as I ordered wicked cushions to help mitigate the discomfort of the nubs.. before I swapped the ear cups I tried them on and I was shocked, what happened to the ANC nubs?! Come to find out after much research steel series redesigned the size and somewhat shape of the ANC nubs. It’s extremely comfortable with or without aftermarket ear pads and It blows every other headset I’ve tried sound wise especially out of the water! Very pleased with it and happy I decided to grab these again and give them another chance. If you’re on the fence, grab it. You won’t be sorry.

I used these to replace Bose Q45 for gaming. I don't game online and I haven't used the microphone, but I like that it tucks away nicely inside the headset. Maybe I will use this for work a well. Some people hate the base station, but it works for me. I plan on using these headphones on one desktop only, but I have the option of attaching another to the base station via USB-C. I love that the you can hot swap the battery while the other charges in the base. I would run into issues with my Bose (and Beats) headphones running out of juice, but that's not an issue with these. The sound quality is great. I love the weight and I don't get fatigue on my ears like I get with some other cans. The base station is a little clunky to use, but I don't really need to make many changes; set it and forget it, for me.

I was originally excited about purchasing the headset based on the features and the expected sound quality, however, I am unfortunately unable to give this product a positive review because of a few issues I have encountered. First I want to mention this headset works reliably well when connecting to my computer or other devices that the dock can be plugged into, and have had no issues with connection drop or anything of the sort. The issues lie in two major points, first being how uncomfortable the headset can be after only wearing it for a short period of time. I am not entirely sure why that is exactly, my best guess is the cushioning or the extruding ANC device that's in the middle of each speaker causing pain mainly in the ears and have not been able to adjust the headset in any way to cause the pain to stop. The second main issue is the software that is supposed to be downloaded after purchasing the headphones is atrocious. The software is confusing and adds like 5 different headphone options to choose from in windows sound settings. This in turn causes much confusion when adjusting settings in discord and other programs I use because there is too much redundancy and can cause programs to select different headphones presets which in turn cause microphone and sound issues. I had to uninstall the program which fixes all of this but causes the headphones to then sound extremely average since the equalizer functionality is no longer available. between these two major issues I cannot give these headphones too high of a rating and even two stars is being generous. Also I paid full price for these headphones and I feel like I have been scammed for what I have received.

What a great gaming headset. Sound and tuning ability are awesome. Very comfortable for hours, sound isnt harsh, great spatial audio and sound separation, so a great pickup when on sale. Swapable batteries are an extra nice touch.

The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless delivers exceptional sound, active noise cancellation, and dual wireless connectivity for seamless gaming. Its hi-fi drivers and 360° spatial audio create an immersive experience, while the swappable battery system ensures uninterrupted play. The ClearCast Gen 2 mic offers clear communication, and the premium design provides lasting comfort. A top-tier choice for serious gamers.

Upgrading from a 4 year old wired headset has been a game-changer for me. The freedom from tangled cords and unrestricted movement enhances the overall gaming experience. The software (Steelseries GG) Sonar enhances the audio quality, delivering crisp highs, powerful mids, and deep bass for an immersive gaming atmosphere. With a commendable battery life and quick swapping feature, I can enjoy extended gaming sessions without interruption. The comfortable design and crystal-clear microphone further solidify these headphones as a must-have for any gaming enthusiast.

Great headphones with great surround sound and a comfortable fit. Easy to use and you never go without battery life with the extra battery and charging deck.

What a great product. Ability to connect to 2 devices is a game changer. I have connected this to my PS5 and PC and it automatically switches between them depending on what is powered on. Loads of settings in the app and most can be changed through the device itself. There is always a battery charged so you are never waiting. Comfortable on the head and sound is amazing and noise cancelling is okay. The ears however get a little hot and sweaty if you are wearing for long periods of time as the earpads are made of leather like material and not fabric.

Headphones are great. Customizable. They work really well and allow you to separate between game and voice calls really easily.
