I had a very cheap like £20 set for a while as I only really used it to chat to friends but since ive started getting back into online games like helldivers 2 and battlefield 6 I got some steel series arctis nova 3x for about £90 and honestly they do the job fine for me without breaking the bank. The only thing I do find is when I turn the xbox on I need to unplug and plug back in the dongle as sometimes it wouldn't connect but I just do it out of habbit now. Other than that really good battery life and no issues at all.

All i can say is that from what i hear in reviews nova 5 and nova 3 are almost the same with 5 being much more expensive with 10h+ more battery and not worth it Personally i love my nova 3x but if you are looking for something in nova 5 pricing i would actually look for other brands

I just bought a Nova 3x for a low price and very happy with it, maybe you can check it out before paying too much money.

I bought a steel series Artcis Nova 2 wireless recently, didn’t break the bank and my teammates advise that my sound quality is vastly improved.

The longest session wearing it was about 4 hours and it was still going strong, but I’ve used it on and off for 2 weeks without charging it at all.

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.
