SteelSeries - Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Multi Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, PS4, Switch - Black

I’ve tried quite a few headsets and just never really found one that is comfortable, wireless, and compatible with PC and PS5. Gaming buddies were raving about Steel Series so I figured, why not try it? I’m glad I did. This thing is overly comfortable for wearing hours, and hours, and hours at a time. Battery lasts as advertised and you can quickly swap batteries when you need to. The dock has a charging slot for the spare battery so it charges while you play and ready when you need it. A few days after using, there was an option appear on my pc to download software that provides more customization options for mic and sound, some that are already pre-customized based on the game you are playing. Headset has a blutooth option which runs simultaneously with the PC/PS5 connection. So if you need to answer a call while playing, you can hear both the phone and game at the same time (no buttons to answer calls on the headset directly). Sound quality is great and have been told that my mic sounds amazing now that I’ve upgraded.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset offers impressive sound quality with its Hi-Res Audio certification, delivering clear and immersive audio for gaming and multimedia. The wireless connectivity provides freedom of movement, and the long battery life ensures extended gaming sessions without interruptions. The ergonomic design and comfortable ear cushions make it suitable for prolonged use. However, some users may find the price point a bit steep compared to other options on the market.

I have changed to these headphones from Astro A50's Gen 4. These are a great upgrade and I feel work much better for PC than the Astro's did. Positives: Sonar - Great for FPS Titles and hearing Footsteps Noise Canceling - Is great and really does limit what you can hear outside, this is able to be configured to your liking if you don't want ANC always on. Dual Audio Streams - The software and device does allow for this and it's been great. Battery Life - I wear this headset probably around 7-10hrs a day and can typically get around 15hrs out of each battery, but since this comes with 2 batteries one is always charging and I am never down on power. Cons: Software - Now this may vary per person, but since I use a Elgato Wave Mic 3 it has it's own software and trying to get these two to work well with each other can be a little frustrating. I would say with enough time and tinkering you should have no problems, but some little things do come up and have to make changes. Comfort - So overall the comfort of this headset are decent, but the EarCups are a common complaint as they can be prettty small for people like myself. Also they can get warm since SteelSeries doesn't offer Mesh option since these are a different size compared to all their other models. Also note that many people complain about the speaker that sits in the middle of and pokes out a bit more than people like and can also hit your ear, I didn't have this problem but was aware of it prior to purchasing. I did upgrade my EarCups to the WC FreeZe Cooling Gel and these are a MUST HAVE they made all the difference for comfort and heat control. Overall: I am happy with my purchase I would just like to see in the future other options from the factory for ear cup changes since I don't like the Leather Cups and always prefer to Cloth. Like I stated above the WC FreeZe are perfect replacement and made this headset amazin.g
