SteelSeries - Arctis Nova Pro Wireless (PlayStation Version)

I really enjoy the Steel Series Arctis Nova Pro set I picked up on a open box deal from Amazon for under $200. The GG sonar program allows you to customize every app's sound quality along with a virtual mixer for different games. Batteries are cheap \~ $15 for a 2 pack to double or triple your mAh capactiy (longer play time). It's been awesome for the month i've had mine and is able to connect to xbox/ps5 at the same time as your PC and can have dual-channel audio going on at the same time.

Still good. I wish I would’ve known they were making a refresh with the white version before I bought the originals but I’ve been rocking the originals on all of my platforms with zero issues.

If you game on multiple platforms including Xbox it’s absolutely worth it. Rocking the originals still before their refresh and what I use daily for gaming. If you don’t game on Xbox then no and save your money and just get the non X. Their refresh(white ones)does not have the ANC issues.

Sure is with my wicked cushions!

I have the arctic nova pro but it only works on pc and ps5 ( the version I got anyway) So for my Xbox I use the official Xbox headset and disabled the Dolby/DTS crap and just use stereo uncompressed while adjusting the equalizer to reduce the bass as much as possible. After all that it’s “fine” and gets the job done well.

Damn that’s lame you’ve had so many issues. I bought mine refurbished from eBay and have been really happy for about a year now. I did upgrade the earcups and headband with wicked cushions so maybe that has something to do with it but I literally can’t even hear my girlfriend yelling for me when I’m wearing them. Nontheless, it’s not something you should *have* to upgrade. I did it bc I have big ass ears and ran into some discomfort after awhile lol. The wicked cushions are bigger, thicker, and have cooling foam with a better material than the cheap leather steel series uses. The keyboard thing is pretty lame (I have a Corsair with a volume wheel) but I came from ps5 so I was just so used to using the headset wheel already. I’ve never had the popping issue (maybe being refurbished helped??) but that also sucks that it’s happening to people. I actually enjoy the minute details and really enjoy their software app with the sonar technology, preset eq’s, smart volume, and Spatial Audio. I also like how it’s just two cords, one straight to PC and one straight to PS5. After using A50’s for years, I really like the simplicity in this design for cable management and aesthetics.

You’re 289 days late and mine is still going strong.

I think they do help with the ANC imo. I play a lot of shooters so I really just used the “hell let loose” eq setting since that game is so realistic and immersive. I’ve liked it in every shooter I’ve played so far and then turned on the Spatial Audio and smart volume with a single click. Worth checking out!

I personally chose the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for my PS5, and it’s been a solid pick for streaming and gaming. The audio quality is crisp, and the mic captures my voice well, which makes for clear communication during intense sessions.

Most gaming headsets kinda suck huh? I spent 300 on my artic nova pro wireless for ps5. And I swear it's a hundred dollar headset in quality with wireless low lagsncy gaming feature and mic that gets shredded when ya retract it. I too don't want to pay twice for audio drivers.

I love mine. I actually have a pretty sick setup. I have mine connected to my ps5 but also have a dac connected to the optical out of my tv converting it to 3.5mm to the 3.5mm input jack on the nova receiver. Plus they have Bluetooth. So I can have my regular tv and apps go through the headphones and also my ps5 plus they have Bluetooth so also my pc or phone. All at the same time. Also I have additional batteries for it. They can be purchased as generic fujifilm camera batteries so they’re cheap on Amazon. Also go to further.. the optical dac to 3.5mm I have also has Bluetooth so technically two Bluetooth, tv optical out, and ps5 all through the nova pro wireless.

I have the Nova pro wireless and I’d love to upgrade as these have been great but for damn they’re $829 here in Canada.

Always. Noise cancelling Nova pro wireless. Better immersion and don’t hear the ac and other shit on during gameplay. Plus I can listen to YouTube at the same with the fact it connects to Bluetooth simultaneously.

Hello. Im looking for gaming headset that actually f'ing works. Right now im using my Razer Kraken Ultimate, they have 5 years, the cable is wide open in many places, and i can hear more on the left than the right. They were "fine" for the past 5 years but it's time to replace them since they have not a lot of life left in them. I also do realise that Razer headphones are more about the brand than the sound itself. I got myself Steelseries Arctis nova pro X today, and already have to return them, they arent very comfortable around the ears (thats the least annoying part) But the microphone is absolutely garbage, or maybe i got a faulty one? (a lot of people complained on it) Anyways nobody can hear me, i can play with settings all day long and it wont help, im also not really into having extra program or 2 on my PC just so others can barely hear me. Call me old timed or stupid, but i prefer wired headsets, i was thinking about steelseries nova 7, but they only come in wireless. (and its again steelseries with their microphones) What else could you guys recommend me? (If anything) Im mainly looking for good headset (mostly FPS games) with microphone that works, i do not expect the microphone to be top tier, i just want others to hear me speak. Budget would be around 220 Euros, max 250 if the headset is absolutely worth its price.

I had an arctic nova pro, and switched to Audeze Maxwell. The Arctic Nova was good, but after switching the sound and build quality is night and day with the Maxwell, it’s so much better. The battery lasts over 70 hours as well. Default sound settings aren’t great, but an easy Google search has people sharing much better settings which really brings the sound quality out. It’s usually around $300, but you can find them for sale around $250 every now and then, if you’re willing to stretch you budget a bit.

So this means 3 sources when you count in BT? I ask because I currently use my Arctic Nova Pro's for work and play. Being able to hook up one more source would be nice. How about battery life? Any different from the Pro's?

This is cap... With proper EQ settings and NO SONAR, you can get the Pro's to vibrate on your ears with bass if you want. SONAR for me would limit or mute bass drops which in the beginning was maddening and I almost returned them (sonar settings I went through for days with no resolution). Once I got rid of SONAR, the muted bass was also removed. You can also use Nvidia Broadcast to improve the mic to semi professional levels. SONAR is just garbage to me. It seemed to limit the Pro's. I use the Pro's 10 hours a day just about everyday for 2 years and no issues with build quality. I can appreciate HiFi though and hate distortion. I wonder how much of a difference there actually is to double the price.
