SteelSeries - Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Multi Gaming Headset for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One - Black

I love these headphones they are so wonderfully crafted comfort fitting sound quality is awesome and the dual rechargeable lithium Ion battery packs it comes with and the charger and multi ways to charge it make these 7.1 surround sound bring the game to life Emerson of sound great for gamers who want to play and not wake up neighbors or your sleeping family or just all around simplicity privacy I love them only complaint is the wires to the headphones and a stereo reciever in home aka headphone jack mic jack short but the head phones are wireless blue tooth once fully charged so it won’t matter for the most part you can always buy a longer dual end headphone cord. And the foam mouth mic cover easy to lose. But easy to replace so all in all quality out performs the small minor issues.

I bought the Nova Pro wireless knowing it was expensive so I'm not going to complain about that. It's $350 but worth every penny if you honestly think about it. It works on every device excluding a Apple device with a thunderbolt connection. Has 2 hot-swappable 22hr playtime batteries included. Can be used wired with the included 3.5mm cable if needed. It's a premium quality built headset that is incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I hooked it up to my Series S and played Apex Legends for about 3hrs. Even without tinkering on the base station I was able to hear everything crystal clear. Actually won my first 3 games using these these. Microphone came across crystal clear according to teammates I played with. Honestly cannot recommend this headset enough if you can look past it's price. Hell I had the $500 Bang & Olufssen Beoplay Portals when they came out and these blow them out of the water in every category from build quality to sound to . microphone

So I got these to replace the previous Arctis Pro Wireless that only worked with PS4/5 and PC. These are very good headphones, and a good update to the Arctis lineup. They are unique because they work with both PS5 and Xbox wirelessly. Very few gaming headsets on the market work with both consoles. The audio quality is good out of the box and is customizable with a computer and Steelseries’ software. They also have Bluetooth and can be used while playing as well for those who like to have audio from their phone while playing their games. These are also a pretty normal looking, not heavy, bulky, or full gamer aesthetic so you could use them outside no problem. The fit on the head is a big improvement over previous Steelseries headsets thanks to their new adjustable design. These still have the replaceable dual battery system so one battery charging in the base while you’re using the other. Also includes a headphone jack so you can use them wired without the base if you’re on the go. Now for the bad… Because these are specific made to work with Xbox (thanks for the proprietary nonsense Microsoft) chat mix will work on the Xbox but not the PS5. Using it is a little more inconvenient thanks to the removal of the separate volume wheels from the previous Arctis Pro. Now you have to click the one volume wheel to adjust it. It can be a bit annoying for on the fly adjustment. The ANC feature is not great considering how expensive these headphones are. Too much cabin pressure for mediocre ANC performance. Honestly I just leave it off. And now my biggest complaint. The microphone on these is a huge letdown. Because of the smaller ear cups, the retractable mic is shorter than the previous Arctis Pro Wireless. I have a larger head and this become an issue because the Mic doesn’t each the front of my mouth like Steelseries intends it too. This leads to my voice either being too quiet or not picked up. I have to pull the mic all the way out and literally almost in the side of my mouth in order to be heard. It’s also less robust than the older model. I’ve already had to replace one pair because the mic stopped working completely. Overall these are a very good gaming headset with a lot of features and some annoying faults. The real question is whether these features are worth the price for you.
