Great Headset
I made the switch from the A50 to the Arctis Nova 5. The Nova 5 is very simple and straight forward when pairing and customizing. The phone app is game changer since you can easily switch between presets for different gaming. Footsteps, you can hear it all with these headsets! Listening to music sounds crisp with good bass. The max volume is very loud once you turn off the limiter option from the phone app. I bought 3 (2 for me and 1 for wifey) and all works perfectly. My wife loves them. I will def recommend to anyone looking to buya gaming headset.

Great for PS5
Was finally in the market for a new headset for my PS5 and saw this one on sale. I am replacing my turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 that I got about four years ago. First I love how easy it is to connect to Bluetooth and through the dongle of my PS5. The app to have different presets for games is a lot of fun. Sound is great, connection is good. There are only two things I miss going from my turtle beach and that was the automatic connection to both Bluetooth and the dongle. If I got a call I didn’t have to switch to Bluetooth mode and if you want to have a different preset for a game you have to be in Bluetooth mode not 2.4. Other than that, great headset.
