This is the way! Make sure you get the X model (Xbox). It will work on every device you can think
None of these, go with the arctis nova pro for Xbox. It can connect to any device and since it comes with two batteries you can hot swap and virtually have unlimited playtime. Best headset I’ve ever owned! I’ve purchased a few of the steelseries headsets and some from Sony (outside the newest) and these are by far the best.
Well i have the steelseries arctis nova pro x wireless for a little more than a year and it still feels like new. Ive only ever noticed the cracked hinges on my other arctis pro wireless which have fallen on the ground so many times, which is probably the reason for it.
Sound quality? Great... Build quality? The worst😐 I moved on from the pulse elite after mine did that, not to mention the constant disconnects having the pull the cheap dongle out and put it back in 3 to 4 times day during long sessions especially in ranked games I was losing my mind getting my ass up running to the PS5 to pull the dongle out and back in😂... don't even bother getting it replaced your just gonna keep ending up the same way. Get a different headset I would recommend the steelseries arctis nova pro wireless those are built to last👍
Steelseries arctis nova pro wireless and get the Xbox edition because if u ever decided to use it xbox it will work on xbox just so your covered it's the only version of the headset that works on all platforms playstation PC and Xbox. And you can connect wireless to as many devices as you want with no lag so u can have your ps5 connected your pc and your phone and even answer phone calls while your gaming with your mic which the mic quality is crisp. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6I6wZkR81s0&pp=ygUVZ2FkZ2V0cnl0ZWNoIG5vdmEgcHJv
I have seen the sound measurements for these and they are nearly identical to the NPW. A bit more bass for sure but that's about it. The problem i had with the NPW is that if you move your head the sound changed drastically. Feature wise i agree that they are probably the best on the market but apart from that if you don't need said features then just buy something cheaper.
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.
Yes. Get SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro (+/- wireless), it is worth the fortune.
I just got these in today and compared to my original pro wireless (not nova), the sidetone is TRASH! It's so quiet, not clear, and reverbs my own voice like if i cupped my ears. Any fix for this?
