SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 3 Wireless

Thank you for commenting on that very useful feature. It's disappointing that there hasn't been an improvement on the sidetone. I've been stuck using the steelseries arctis nova 3 wireless because the sidetone on there is perfect. I'm not sure if the Non-Pro model would be different.

I recommend the SteelSeries nova 3 wireless as that headset has a good mic and loud / clear real-time sidetone built-in to the headset.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Wireless. Under $100 and good audio and microphone capabilities with Bluetooth and 2.4 audio modes

Steel Series Arctis 3P. It's $80 on amazon. I have the same model. I have the original Pulse 3D's as well, but those get hot and they're not very comfortable. The 3P sounds great to me, you can adjust the eq from an app on your phone, great battery life, and you can use it as your everyday headset as well, just remove the mic. Fits great over glasses too.

I had the official one and hated it so much I returned it and bought an arctis nova. The SteelSeries headset connects quickly and sounds perfect. I love it. If you can afford the arctis nova 3, it’s a worthwhile upgrade.

I'm having a great time with the steelseries arctis nova 3's, on amazon i got them on sale for about 75quid, only thing i'm not a fan of is the software, extra bloatware, its not great and the software to mix game and chat volume and master volume is all seperate, however if you don't have the software open the chat and gaming still override the master volume, meaning you have to disable the other 2 everytime you boot your pc

The Steelseries Arctis Nova 3, which are the ones I got a year and a while ago, are fantastic for the 100€ I paid. Nowadays you can get them for 70€ or less, they're a steal, they sound great, the micro is good, they're comfortable for long sessions and they are a trusted and widely recommended headset for a medium budget. I saw in another comment you recommended some Sennheisser that go from more than twice that price (right now about 180€, down from 220€). And you also add a modmic clipon that cost 70€ and up because the Sennheiser doesn't even have a mic. Unfair comparison when the price difference is the triple or more.

I had major issues with nova artic at some point I couldn't even open the GG software app on my pc. Ended up returning it

Yes. Headset with amazing sound stage for 3d audio is incredibly detailed and immersive. Try a 3d audio game with any set of headphones you might have lying around. (I use an old set of fairly chunky hi-fi headphones). Buying a new headset I concur with other people who said Arctis steelseries with the 40mm "Nova" drivers. I honestly thought they would be a bit rubbish, at least a step down from the previous 50mm in bass. But wow, they're surprisingly good. I have a sort of neckband thing for VR racing, it feels like a HANS device and gives a sort of personal bubble of surround sound. It's a bit of a unique case, but I picked it up cheaply and it makes a huge difference (not isolated, not loud, and not TV speakers).

Just stay away from the shiny plastic cheap stuff and you’ll be fine. The Hyper Cloud series and Steeleries Novas are good cheap options to begin looking at.

I have gone through all the premium/best-reviewed ones and the Corsair Virtuoso is the best overall in my experience. I didn't like the weird headband on the Steel Series Arctic line. For me it was not comfortable at all. I had a previous version of the Arctis with the little dock and hot-swap batteries, and I LOVED that battery switch feature.
