A: As long as the Mac is connected via Bluetooth, then yes. This headset supports 1 input via RF, and 1 input via Bluetooth simultaneously. You cannot run 2 RF inputs or 2 Bluetooth inputs at the same time.
Q: Will these work with my PS5 and my Xbox Series X?
A: To clarify one of the answers. The PS5 version works with everything except Xbox. The Xbox version works for all platforms including PS5 and PC. Not sure why someone said the Xbox version doesn't work with PC.
A: Hello there! The White Nova Pro Wireless, automatically is the updated version. regarding the black version, as long as the headset does not say 1st edition, it is the updated version!
Q: Does the microphone mute when it is retracted into the headset?
A: The mic is still functional when it is retracted. There is a super convenient button the side that mutes the mice. When it is muted a little red light on the mute lights up.
Q: Do these pickup any background noise?
A: They do pick up noise unless you use the sonar app on pc by them. The other guy said they have noise cancelation but that is what YOU hear.
A: Yes each battery lasts a VERY long time. I rarely need to charge them!
A: Hello there! This headset has all of those features mentioned, but would be enabled through Sonar, which is exclusive to PC

Amazing Headphones
These are genuinely really good headphones both for gaming and for music listening. Out of box they sound great but with the sonar software you can really explore these headphones, from making customs eq's for legit everything to making the mic sound good. They are really comfortable and feel light on the head the ANC isn't that bad like most say. My favorite part if the infinite battery system when one battery dies all you gotta do is pop out the one from the Dock and pop it in the headset and pop the dead battery in the dock and boom you're ready to go in less that 30 seconds!!

Love this headset!
I’ve been using these for about a year and absolutely love the way they sound and all of the functionality they have. Being able to hot-swap the battery mid use was the feature I was most excited about and that works really well. I also just love the way these look, the microphone is very discreet and the headset isn’t bulky at all so I have no problems wearing these to the coffee shop or the gym. On that note though, for me especially when working out these can start to feel hot after a while or even when just gaming. It’s likely different for everyone but I think the leather is trapping some heat. It doesn’t bother me much especially since when out I always keep them slightly off my ears for better awareness. By far the best feature of these headphones is the duality of having Bluetooth and radio in one. I can be playing a game on my pc connected with the usb audio device over radio while it’s also connected to my phone via Bluetooth so I can hear my FaceTime call. It mixes the audio together perfectly I was worried there would be some sort of layering issue or something but nope it’s exactly the same as if you had two things playing at once on just the one device. Admittedly it’s a niche use case but even just keeping my headphones on while walking to the kitchen and being able to start watching a video while cooking then coming back to my pc and unpause my game without having to connect or disconnect anything is so seamless and great. Definitely a feature worth the price. Overall extremely happy and I won’t be upgrading to a different pair for quite some time unless they have these same features and more.

Best gaming headset available!
I have owned the SteelSeries Arctis 7s and the Titan A50s. These are superior in every way! They are extremely comfortable and all of the sound profile options are very detailed and you can control so many aspects of the sound. The video capture feature was also a big surprise, if you are on a PC you can set it to capture many different moments in most AAA games. I also love that it has 2 swapable batteries allowing for a true 100% wireless experience on long gaming sessions. That being said the batteries last a very long time. 10/10 would buy again.
