Customer Ratings & Reviews

1 set Lt Ear was not working so I returned them. For the extra $50 over Astros you get a lot. Bluetooth and ANC are worth it. I base my ANC off of sitting next to a fan that is moderately loud. It works well. Sound is great. I have always used Astro so I am limited. Sound better than my A50s. I get no rubbing that some complain about and it fits my ears solid. They clamp light but do not move. Battey lasts forever and they you have a spare....These headsets are just an all around banger. 1800 sqft house and I have no dead spots. Beast for gaming but has range to listen to my tunes anywhere in the house. Could not be more pleased. It was close with the first set being DOA. Lets be honest. Quality control is a major issue everywhere right now. Got banged 3 stars for the quality control.

[Employee of bestbuy] i got those headsets when they first came out, and i have tried almost every gaming headset there is, and i will say they are the best investment i have had mic quality, battery life couple days with a swap that it comes with, to the audio quality i cannot be more satisfied they comfortable as well. i i loveeeeee those headsets and would definitely recommend them over and over again. Plus the active noise canceling that i usually have with other headsets i loved in these ones. so out of comfort 10/10. mic quality 8/10. audio and noise canceling 100/10. if you get them you definitely won’t be regretting it!!!!

TLDR just in case: Wanted a headset that had built-in EQ technology that I could use not only when playing on PC but also when playing on PS5 because I like to listen to music through Spotify when I game (when the game permits it as far as PS5 goes), battery pack swapping is amazing, takes just a few seconds. Easy to swap audio between PC and PS5 just a few pushes of the same button. I normally don't write reviews for products, in fact this will be the first one I leave on this site but I figured I'd take a bit of time to share my experience with this set of headphones I got back in November 2022. As of writing, I'm still using them, I haven't experienced anything better than these headphones for gaming and for listening to music. So diving right in, the purpose for purchasing these headphones was because I needed something that was able to give me a built-in EQ system. I really like to listen to music while I'm gaming but the audio quality for gaming headsets in general weren't pleasant to my ears except for the Corsair Void Pro headset. This was thanks to it having an EQ interface built in though it was only usable through PC. Time passed and I wanted to have that same experience while using my PS5, and my Corsair headset was beginning to bite the dust so I began my research for the best headset for my needs and came across the Arctis Nova Pro. The price tag turned me away at first, but I became super curious as to how the transmitter was used, and once I learned it had a built-in EQ that could be utilized not only on PC but on my PS5 as well, I made a quick trip to the store to pick these up. I'm really in love with how the clear and fulfilling the sound is (after adjusting the EQ settings to suit my hearing pleasure) as well as the range at which I could use the headset when talking to friends in Discord without it dropping connection nor causing my voice to sound robotic or cut in and out. The core feature of this headset is the ability to swap seamlessly between two devices using the transmitter included as well as two USB-C cables that are also included. Using the receiver, I'm able to swap between my PS5 and Gaming PC, as well as swap my battery packs. So the way that works is that you have TWO battery packs, one for the headset, the other a spare. You don't have to charge the headset using a cable, just simply swap the battery packs, and yes, the receiver serves as a charging base for the battery pack. So when one battery is dying, just do a quick swap and your back online. This, is also seamless, at least for me because I keep the headset on when I'm swapping, and after the new battery is placed in it automatically powers back on, so within at least 10 seconds of swapping battery packs I'm back to conversing with my friends. I also have to mention, the microphone is amazing, it doesn't pick on any background noise at all be it if I'm eating or drinking or whatever, it won't pick up on anything. Though this is if you're using it through Discord, when I use it on my PS5, it will still pick up a bit but not as much as I thought it would, however you could argue it's because these are Discord-certified but I digress. All in all, the primary reason I bought this headset was because I wanted an EQ system, and what I got was much more than that so if something ever happens to this set, I'll be buying them again.

As my title says, I've purchased several headsets, including the model that precedes this one, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless (the model with the battery, not to be confused with this model, the Arctis Pro Nova Wireless), as well as the Astro Gaming A50 with base station. This thing is awesome! The noise cancelling beats every other headset I've ever tried, bar none. I mean, I have a dog that snores and it drives me CRAZY. Even through other headsets - and this is the ONLY one that actually blocked the sound. For that issue alone, it's worth every penny. But wait, there's more! The microphone disappears completely into the headset which is very slick. SteelSeries have expanded the capabilities of the controlling unit, as you have a lot better control of the sound on each ear, etc. I've heard from other reviews about certain complaints, that I haven't had. One, that the cups get very sweaty - haven't experienced that, but just in case, I did buy (for like $15) replacements that are cloth. After a month, I've yet to need them. Also, I had heard that the cups can be painful on the ears - they were for me for a few days, but after a bit of break-in, no issues. (To be expected from right off the factory line, etc). I've heard complaints about the software, but I believe SteelSeries has fixed that, as it works fine for me and these have been out for about a year now. The sound is exceptional (as you'd expect at this price range). The build quality is fantastic. The battery life is longer than the previous version (by far) and they've added a charge port to the headset - so you can charge the battery w/out even removing it! All in all, I've probably owned a dozen different types of wireless headsets, and except for the fact it doesn't have different channels for "game and chat" (if you don't know what this is, then you're not missing anything), this thing is perfect and an upgrade in every conceivable way over the previous model. If you don't care as much about the noise cancelling, the extended range and the rechargeable battery, you can get most of the features for several hundred dollars less in the other models (that look identical to this headset) that use USB-C charging or are wired.

I’ve purchased many headsets over the years based on in-depth research. These are the most comfortable ones I’ve had! I can play for hours without the headset making my ears or top of my head feel sore. The sound quality is AMAZING. I love the Game DAC because it helps me easily control the volume and customize the EQ to enhance my gaming experience. The convenience of having 2 batteries is essential since I can always have one fully charged. Its easy and quick to change them out after a game so I can continue playing. 10/10 headset and worth the investment.

Comfortable, easy to use, great sound, long battery life with extra battery

I had the Astros A50/A40 and Turtlebeach and this headset from SteelSeries has been blessing from those. Astros might have the best sound but the functionality of these plus sound takes the cake. Astros doesn't last and their application is a headache plus their customers service is a complete joke. Steelseries is easy to use plus the adjustment with the EQ is fantastic. Swapping batteries is sych a breeze and long lasting. I love the ability to having one charge while the other is being used for a long time. 24hrs on diablo without changing batteries is wonderful. They are extremely comfortable as well

Perfect wireless gaming headset for me. Of course since these are wireless the sound quality is not as good as the wired ones (they are cheaper too), however, the trade offs are worth it for wireless since these are primairly for gaming. Having the hot swappable batteries are amazing too. The only complaint that I have is that the ear cushions get hot, I bought a third party one and they're amazing. The sound program SteelSeries Sonar is amazing too. Overall, I highly recommend this headset for gaming.

I was talked into this brand/product by a Best Buy employee. These are comfortable to wear but are not worth the price in my opinion. Using them for COD Black Ops games I was unable to get them dialed in to hear footsteps or other details on my PS5. Sound Quality and bass are great, just not as responsive as they should be for the price. I returned them for another brand at half price and am happier with the less expensive headset.

First of let me say when you pay premium price this headset lives up to expectations its packaged like its worth $400 it comes with a carrying case when you put them on and get the right fit they are snug in a comfortable way they feel premium metal and plastic make them feel premium i have the astro a 50 and let me tell you i love them headset to me they are the best..but when i seen this and all the things that came with it like the swappable batteries which in total add up to over 40 the sound to me its good but not as loud as my a50s they are super comfy the only downside is the pleader earcups they get hot and make my ears sweat so if you don’t like that just keep that in consideration..on top to be honest i still prefer my astro a50 over this even with the extra features it has

I had gotten a pair while they were on sale recently! So i knew i had to pick up a pair! I use them for my PS5! Love how adjustable they are to fit one’s head! The head band and the length of the ear pieces. Very easy to hook up and play! Love that it comes with a popper filter for the mic! Having the headset paired with a DualSense Edge really helps big time! That way you can adjust the game volume and chat volume from the controller! The sounds quality is beautiful! From hearing the crunch of snow as you walk through snowy mountain caps. All the way to how voices echo off of walls. It does a phenomenal job at picking up those little things that really make the experience better! Changing and charging the batteries is a breeze (as long as you have a little bit of nails to pop off the magnetic caps! Plus you can charge the headphones without the transmitter, there is a USB-C input under the right ear piece cap! Love the retractable mic! So convenient! And the sound quality is excellent! The ANC (which its tensity is adjusted via transmitter) is really nice and to be able to also turn it off and hear your surroundings is great! Press power button one and hear a double beep and the ANC is on, Press the power button again and hear a single beep, the ANC is off. I love that they keep things simplified so you can game more and not fidget with your headset! I was very hesitant on purchasing them because of the price, but when they went on sale… i had to take advantage of it! Totally worth it! Even though i had planned on buying them when they were full price! So the sale really sold me! Anyways, i personally would recommend them!

This headset is fantastic. It has noise cancelling built in and the sound quality is superb. I originally bought the wired version and hated the cord and switched to this version and haven't looked back since. Battery life is great and they have a spare battery in case one dies. Only complaint is the battery charging slot. It makes it a little hard to get out cause it gets caught on the lip of it so you have to use both hands to get it out. Hoping to fix this by buying a mount for my desk so it holds it in place.

Great noice cancelling, extremely comfortable. Love the removable battery so you never have to charge it. Stays wireless. Excellent sound, much much better than the Sony headsets, I’ve had an Astro A40 for ages as well that this beats out. well worth it especially if you have a console and PC, you can easily swap between using it on console to use it on PC. Love it

I tried a lot of headsets including Turtle Beach, Astro and older versions of SteelSeries. This Nova pro are very comfortable, the best sound I have tested. And the versatility of changing batteries is something that not a lot of headsets can offer. I use them during day for home/office duties and gaming during date switching from the laptop to the PC in seconds. Additionally I can hace cellphone calls at the same time or hearing music during gameplays. I really love the sound and versatility. Highly recommended.

You got headsets then you got something like this that comes along and blows everything else out of the water with a big bang!!!Sound quality hot swap battery never having to plug in to charge!Amazing 3d audio comfort on a new level!Worth every penny!Been a gammer since the 80’s had mutiple headsets this one is the cream of the crop!!!Just get one you will not be disapponted!!

Best headset I've owned. Extremely comfortable for extended sessions (easily 20+hrs). Noise cancellation is decent, nothing close to Airpods Pro but would work fine in an airplane or an environment with a similar noise floor. Hot swap battery makes these irreplaceable to me. The Steelseries GG software + the Sonar add-on is needed to get every feature and bit of performance out of these, but luckily they did a good job on that end as well. I even personally encountered a software bug and it was fixed within a week. Great company and an amazing product.

[Employee of bestbuy] My husband absolutely loves this headset! It is so comfortable! I tried and WOW. Sound quality is awesome. He sounds great on mic and the battery lasts a good while. Swapping out the battery is a easy and flawless process. It is an expensive headset but definitely worth it!

Excellent headset, hard to beat! I've tried out the Arctis Nova Pro on my PC, Playstation 5 and my Nintendo Switch. In all uses it has been superior to anything else I've used, and I have plenty of headsets. On PC, I felt that the Arctis Nova Pro was just about an even match the Corsair Virtuoso. Both headsets have such incredibly clear and clean sound. There are two places the Corsair was superior, and that was the control software and the microphone. On PS5, there hasn't been anything I've used that even comes close to the Nova Pro. The sound, ease of use, and versatility are all what you would want. I think the only place you could have improvement would be integration/support on Sony's side of things. Like a small HUD option so you don't have to take your eyes off the screen for any reason. Finally, the Nintendo Switch. I've used 4 different headsets with the Switch over the years. Steelseries has had the best sounding headsets. The fact that the Arctis Nova Pro connects to the Switch via Bluetooth, and has no loss of sound quality, delays or bugs just puts it at an untouchable pilllar above anything else you can get right now. The price point is higher than most other gaming headsets out there, but with the versatility and performance on display here, it is well worth the price.

Bought these for my ps5. Was using the turtle beach 700 gen 2 before these, which are great buuut… once i put these on theres just another level of audio that ive never heard before. I can pin point exactly where the enemy is. I use these for playing Call of duty: warzone mostly. They have a very long reach too. My old headphones would break up going to the kitchen which is about 15 ft line of sight. These reach to the other side of the apartment without any audio breakup. The mic is clear as day. For gaming headphones they sound great when i play back clips ive saved. They really comfortable. At first they were a little snug but loosen up once they break in. For me was the first week or so. They fact there are presets for specific games is awesome, all in the dock. The app you download to update the firmware doesnt work with the apple M1 yet; had to use my roommates older mac to update the firmware. I dont remember the versions he’s on. Bought this on sale. Was definitely worth it! My gaming experience has improved vastly! If you have the money get these!!

I’m very satisfied with these headphones. Great sound quality and very comfortable to use.
