SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 5

Solved all problems by returning them and got myself some Nova 5 .. best purchase

Had the Nova 5’s and I thought they lacked bass. That was awhile ago though

I have an Arctis 5 and i dont have any issues with the app. I had mine for 3 years and i was looking for something new and nova pro seems good, but do i need the software for game/chatmix?

Just got those haha. The Arctic Nova 5 wireless.

If you are looking at the Arctis Nova 7, consider the Arctis Nova 5 instead. Contra-intuitively, it is more recent, cheaper and you trade some potentially useless features of the Arctis 7 (such as simultaneous BT and Wifi) for much longer battery life and a companion mobile app that you can use to manage sound profiles, including pre-built for popular games.

Ive been really enjoying my Arctis Nova 5

Don't forget with the SteelSeries of software you can create and add custom EQ and custom presets as well

Eh, as someone that's been using headphones with a standalone mic for years: just grab a mediocre gaming headset if you don't want hassle. A desktop microphone can be annoying to setup (mine is Scarlet Solo + AT-2035) and typically hang out in your peripheral vision. Bluetooth headphones have noticeable latency that disorient me. So I've been using wired headphones with an Antlion ModMic (wireless) attached. Works, but honestly I hate cables. Been waiting for years for a decent 2.4GHz set of non-gaming headphones but no one wants to make them. Finally caved a couple days ago on a SteelSeries Nova 5. Yeah it's worse than my old setup but completely useable and I still have my old setup if I ever want to go audiophile for something. It's not a big deal.

I’ve had my steelseries nova 5 for about 7 months. The usb doesn’t work anymore. It just makes a nonstop sound screeching sounds whenever a sound it played through them. That happened within the first month of having them. I’ve been using the Bluetooth bc it still sounds amazing. For the last two months, the quality drops sooo much randomly. It also likes to randomly make all the sounds seem very far away. I’ve tried to figure out how to fix it and haven’t been able to. I do not recommend this one in particular. I’ve heard a lot of people have the same problems as I do. My bf has the pro and it seems to be amazing. If you’re going with steelseries, just save for the pro

I use a steelseries arctics nova. I got it fairly recently (like a month ago) and i can hear the smallest of sounds when I play pretty darn well. It's also fairly lite weight and has a long battery life.

I would avoid Arctis Nova, as other people already said they don't last very long, go for HyperX-Cloud-Alpha, the metal beam is not going to break on you and they sound great!

I'm replacing my virtuouso with the nova. The v's cups are too small for my ears and the headband fatigues my skull, they are super heavy aswell. I did like the build quality and the detachable mic though. Battery has been dieing much quicker after a year but that could be my fault.

Hey I'm so sorry but I have to ask. What headsets would anyone recommend with huge heads. I got the arctis Nova and stealth gen 3 700 and both hurt my head bigtime. Use Sony XM5s currently.

If music is a bit of a primary focus I'd say go Maxwell, if you know how to EQ and want to use Sonar. Then Nova do get good quality sound.

Arctis steel series. I can hear more than my teammates typically with incoming cars etc

This is the best answer. I went steel series arctis until i upgrad
