I have the Steelseries Acrtis Nova pro and love them! I compared them against Logitech’s high end head phones and they performed significantly better. The Logitech’s were very tinny, especially for FPS. I also absolutely how you basically never have the charge the Nova Pros since the EQ has a charging port for the second battery. The EQ is also really nice because you can also see the volume indicator and other changes you make since certain headphones don’t register on the PS software. Previously, I had the Sony Pulse Elite and liked them a lot. Especially their integration into the PS software. However, the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro is a welcome one and I can definitely recommend them.

If you have a Playstation Portal I would only recommend the elites seamless pairing between both devices and can play Bluetooth from a device simultaneously, so can enjoy music or a podcast or something whilst gaming

Do a quick search on the pulse elite headset.Ā  They break very easily and for no reason. Do not get them. I had mine for about 6 months and then one day I took him off the stand put them on my head and then pop, I got the warranty, so I picked up another pair 3 months later took him off my stand put them over my head, pop.Ā Ā  Just do a quick search on Reddit for the pulse elite headset and there are tons of people like me
