Thinking about getting this for my Xbox. I have the a50x that I won last year but honestly have never been all that impressed with them,or more-so that I liked them but that theirs no way I’d spend $449.99 plus tax CAD on them. Just found out these and from what I’ve seen are a large fitting headset I think I’m gonna pick these up and sell the a50x. Only thing I will miss is the simultaneous Bluetooth using my phone and game like if I’m waiting in a lobby or if im following a guide or walk though, but I can live without that. Had a turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 max before I won the a50x but just tossed it and bought a wired headset. they became awful with constant cutting in and out and worse when audio got loud. That with occasional disconnects and mic monitoring randomly activating and distorting the sound and having to turn the headset off and on to fix it.
There’s clearly a design flaw, as they commonly seem to break in the same place. There’s no outward adjustability for head width and the natural position to grab a headset is going to be on the sides (which makes that narrow part a weak point).
Maybe I have an average sized head that this headset was made for, but I’ve had mine since release and it looks like new. I have no issues but I can see why there would be issues.
I have the Turtlebeach 700 gen2 max and I wear glasses when I play. They are very comfortable on the ears even though I have a big head. I would consider myself an audiophile and the quality is *chefs kiss*
$600 is steep to most, but for a product I will be using about every single day it’s justifiable to me. Also I used to buy $200 turtle beaches every 1-2 years before they broke. Never had an issue with longevity on the Nova Pro’s and am hoping the same for these
I had the stealth 700 gen 2 and after a year of owning them they would be intermittent going out and losing connection and then mic functionality would just entirely stop working
Turtle beaches I had the stealth 700 Gen 2 awhile back, while they sounded nice, they absolutely killed my head when wearing glasses, literally it hurt to wear them because they indented my glasses frames into my skull lol. These just out of comfort alone take the win
Well there is a reason they have different priced headsets for all wants/needs. I’d rather spend money on something that will last instead of a turtle beach headset I used to have before these that was $200 and would break after a year of use
