I’ve been gaming on my PS5 with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P for a few months and it’s been solid.
Eh. I ended up with the Arctis and not bad. Still miss my Astros but more control and better audio with Arctis. Mic quality on my end is kinda ass and it sometimes disconnects when I first turn the PS5 on.
I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P on my PS5 and it’s been the sweet spot for me.
As someone who owns wireless nova 7’s and wired 7 pros, no fucking way would I spend 600 on these. Sonar GG is arguably one of the worst peripheral softwares on the market and I won’t spend another dollar on steelseries until they develop something better
I went from gaming headset to a DT770 about 10 years ago, went through all sorts of different headphones, amp stacks and went down the rabbit hole for a bit. A couple years ago I sold my DT1770 and Schiit stack in favor of the Audeze Maxwell. great headset but it has some issues. Not at all as good as the hype wants you to believe.(Music is amazing, gaming is OK, Durability of those drivers is shit, software is even shittier) Started using that at work for music listening and calls instead and got a basic Steel Series Arctis Nova 7 at home. Also decent, especially for the price. Recently I got an audio interface to fuck around with my guitars and amp plugins. And I tried my old DT770s again through that. The sound is so much clearer so I’m back to using studio headphones again. Thinking I’m gonna get the DT700 and throw those old DT770’s back into my drawer, always nice with a backup I guess.
I’ve bounced between a few PS5 headsets and the one that’s stuck with me is the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P.
steelseries nova 7 / nova pro wireless are solid if you want everything in one place. hyperx cloud alpha wireless is also good if battery matters more than extras. aprt from these, turtle beach stealth 600 gen 3 is worth a look too, simple setup, decent wireless + mic for gaming, does the job without overcomplicating things.
I have had the SteelSeries for more than 3 years and they are perfect, they sound good and they are very comfortable even when wearing glasses (for me it is important)
No, the microphone works correctly, when I play no one complains about the microphone
