SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 5P Wireless

SteelSeries Arctis 5P has been my go-to for the past few months. The sound quality is great for both gaming and streaming, and it has a really solid mic that picks up my voice clearly without too much background noise. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2YBKD62](https://links.findgoodlist.com/SteelSeries-Arctis-5P) It’s super comfortable for long sessions too, with nice padding on the ear cups and headband. What I value most in a headset is comfort first, then sound quality second. I use a standalone mic, so I can't comment on the mic quality, but as far as comfort and sound quality for the price go, it's a fantastic purchase. Super comfortable - and with my previous headset lasting five years, I’ll gladly keep coming back to SteelSeries[. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlaystationPortal/comments/1cw8qou/comment/m0uvidr/) Battery lasts almost all week long its insane. The sound is good and loud, comfortable on the ears and head, perfect connectivity, haven"t dropped or lost sound a single time, excellent headset. No complaints!

got the wireless nova 5p and its the best headset ive ever used after using multiple turtlebeach and hyperx in the past.

Ive got 0 complaints. I use it with the adapter on my ps5 and Bluetooth on my pc. Seemless switching. My pc autoconnects in bluetooth mode and my ps5 auto connects when i swap back

i bought a nova 5p wireless and ive had 0 issues,

i bought a steelseries nova 5p wireless after watching a few youtube videos. it has a dongle you plug into the ps5 consoole itself and works amazingly. im genuinly satisfied with it.

the nova 5- wireless is actually cheaper! does seem to be made very similar, ive enjoyed it so far. big upgrade from my last

ahh, on the nova 5p wireless the mic can be retracted or pulled out, it can then be bent closer to your mouth, not to sure of the 7p. i like the mic passthrough where i can hear myself a bit, helps to know if im muted or not. its a stepup from my last headset which was a cheap $40 hyperx playstation headset. although it contained some metal i feel that if i keep this on my headphone stand and keep good care of it, it should last awhile. i bought it for $90 using my employee discount at walmart so i cant be mad as they normally cost $120+tax and wasnt trying to break the bank. i needed wireless as i have my pc a fair bit away and i would frequently get up or move and tug on the aux port and didnt want it to break.

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 LOVE my Arctis Nova 5 wireless but yea that fucking app blows. I uninstalled it after like 10 minutes.

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 have 2, 4 and 10. Sennheiser for PC, Artic Nova for PS5, and Hyper X for work

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.

Are you still enjoying them as much? How fast do they recharge if they run out? I use my headphones quite a bit and one of the best things I find with the arctis novas is I can just fast swap the battery, but I'd love having a smaller (and portable) solution in general.

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.

Wireless the way to go. I have a wired Razer Kraken 3 which has good sound and comfort but not so much a quality build. Headband snapped, wire wore out, pleather wearing out. Good thing I got it as a gift. +1 for any Steel Series Arctis wireless as well. I ended up buying cheap $30 wireless from Amazon which works fine but not the same as a headset that has software to go with it. Even with Razer Kraken, the sound quality is better if you have a Dolby Atmos license (~$10?) for the virtual surround sound enhancements vs the Windows Sonic which is built into Windows.

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
