SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Multi-System Gaming Headset — Neodymium Magnetic Drivers — Active Noise Cancellation — 2 Battery System — ClearCast Gen 2 Mic — PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Mobile

I love the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, especially the hot-swap battery system. Being able to swap batteries on the fly means I never have to stop what I’m doing to charge, which is a huge quality-of-life win. The active noise canceling works very well for a gaming headset and helps block out background noise during longer sessions. Comfort is excellent, even for extended use, and the mic is more than good enough for voice chat. Sound quality is strong and feels premium, with clear audio and good balance. The headset itself feels well built and thoughtfully designed, and setup was simple. The biggest downside is the price, as this is definitely a premium headset. That said, if you want top-tier wireless performance, excellent battery management, and solid ANC in a gaming headset, this one is absolutely worth considering.

I’ve used these for a few hours so far, and they’re pretty good. The audio quality and ability to connect multiple devices using the base station and play simultaneous bluetooth is pretty incredible, especially if you are playing console games that do not allow music to be played in the background. The mic is sufficient for what I need and better than my other headsets The removable batteries are very handy since you can just swap them out when they run low and replace them as they age, so you shouldn’t have more than thirty seconds of downtime if the battery dies. The ANC doesn’t seem to be very strong, but these are headphones you should wear and use at home or in an office environment. So, it isn’t an issue. Plus, overly strong ANC can be bad as it often overcorrects and produces loud noises to counter ambient noise. The headphones do have a charging port in case you are traveling without the base station so you aren’t reliant on the charging slot in the base station, however it is behind a removable cover and a bit inconvenient to use. I believe this was just a convenient position, but it also encourages you to swap the battery out meaning you should get even wear between the batteries. I have little to say about the build quality, the ear cups are fine, despite my larger than average ears. They feel relatively solid and better built than my Bose QCs, while having more features and less glitchiness. I do think that the pleather feels iffy for the price, but replacement ear cups are cheap and easy to install. Overall, these are good for the price. I almost got the arctis nova elite, but realistically the arctis nova pros are as much as I need and once you go beyond this price point the competition becomes much stiffer.

I'm a gamer....and also a remote worker. I found myself looking for an audio solution that would fit both worlds. At the time I was using a wired Arctis Pro headset (prior generation) for gaming, and wireless earbuds for work communications. Needless to say, switching products for different use was becoming irritating, considering both PC's are set up on the same desk. I happened to be browsing the SteelSeries site, and came across the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. Love SS products, as they have never failed me (headset, mouse, keyboard). Needless to say, I took the plunge and purchased them. I've always been a bit skeptical regarding headsets that are both wireless and bluetooth capable. Prior items I've tested always fell short, either in battery life, bluetooth or wireless range. I'm happy to say, I have yet to see any issues with the headset, with one exception, which I'll touch on later. Considering my prior SS headset was the Arctis Pro w/GameDac, I chose to purchase the model with GameDac for the Nova Pro Wireless. My first thought was about battery life *shrug* as that always seem to be a point of contention, even with earbuds I had in the past for use with my phone. I didn't waste time regarding testing wireless and bluetooth battery life separately. Once I had the latest SteelSeries software updates, and updated the headset to the latest firmware, I connected both my personal PC and my work phone to the headset. On an average day, I am typically in calls for at least 6 hours. In between calls, in the past, I had been using the personal PC to stream music via the wired Arctis Pro headset. Needless to say, the idea the Nova Pro wireless would eliminate swapping between headset and earbuds was the first thought in my head. The results were technical perfection. I could listen to music without issue. During inbound or outbound calls, the music muted as calls started. Calls ended, and back to music. No swapping between two devices, no hassle...no muss and no fuss. They say the battery life is on average 11 hours. Luckily this has two batteries and the DAC is also the charger for the spare battery. I've used the headset consistently day in and day out, and typically find I'm only changing the battery after about 13 hours of use without bluetooth enabled, and about the same with bluetooth only being used. With both, I see about 10-11 hours of usage before needing to swap batteries. During the first couple of days, I noticed sound quality wasn't what I was used to from my Arctis Pro headset...then it dawned on me. I needed to go back into the SteelSeries software, and make sure I had changed both the settings and Sonar to have these as the primary sound device, as well as doing the same in my Windows settings. 5 minutes later, music was back to the quality I had grown accustom to. Sounds when gaming had not only returned in quality, but were actually better. Spatial sound allowed for easier identification of direction. All in all, just turned out an overall bettter experience. Another plus was getting up from my desk, having grown comfortable with wearing a headset, and not jerking my head back down because of a cord. I had walked from my desk to my kitchen before I even realized just how freeing the wireless experience was. Distance of the coverage is also amazing. For bluetooth, I can walk 30 feet away from my phone without issue, where my earbuds (Sony 1000MX5) started cutting out after about 5-6 feet, requiring me to pick up my phone every time I moved. On the wireless side, music moves with me all through the house. I can cook, clean, or just chill anywhere and enjoy it. Even this gets close to 30 feet before I start noticing any degradation. The only thing I did notice was something that should have been obvious: if the microwave is between the headset and DAC, it will cause the audio to flutter, but not break completely. Now to the ANC (Noise Cancellation). While it is a great addition to this headset, I think this might be where I have found, from prior use of both, Sony and Bose have more efficient noise cancelling. On the plus side, while it doesn't completely eliminate consistent noise, it does drastically reduce it to a level of being some distance away. Even with the lawn mower nearby, I could hear people on the calls, as well as they could hear me, without the lawn mower drowning either side out. The ANC reduces sound possibly -30db, but doesn't eliminate them all together. Even consistent noises become a minor backdrop in the audio world. It does its job well...even when on Discord with auto-mic in a chatroom. Now I mentioned an exception at the start of this review, and here it is: the fit. My wired Arctis Pros would allow me to bend over and or tilt my head without moving around on my head. This isn't the case with the Nova Pro Wireless. I believe this is due to one simple reason: the factory pads on the headset do not feel as robust as the former, therefore does not have the same ability to remain stationary. This is easily rectified by purchasing aftermarket replacements. If SS were to pay closer attention to reviews, they would see how some have stated this, and I'm in agreement: make them robust...and make them a bit more breathable as well. The faux leather design is just a trend all headset manufacturers follow as it "allows a better fit to eliminate noises around you" Pish Posh! There is hardly any difference between using a breathable material vs "leather" materials, unless you are an uber-picky audiophile. Listen to the people SS...they have spoken. Outside of the pads, this is hands-down a 5-Star production for battery life, sound quality, gaming, media and bluetooth connectity to a ton of various products from phones to TV's to streaming devices. A stellar upgrade from the Arctis Pro wired, in both quality and freedom of movement. If you have your doubts about switching from wired to wireless...do yourself a favor....CUT THE CORD!!! You won't regret it at all.

Item as per description.

Para os exigentes, este headset proporciona uma experiência completa, principalmente para ouvir som de passos e tiros no CoD. Um som rico em detalhes, acompanhado de opções de personalização e predefinições já integradas.

Se escuchan muy bien los arctis nova pro Wireless pero tengo algunas recomendaciones - se tiene que usar el software de la marca con sonar para aprovechar los audífonos, tanto para el audio como para el micrófono, el software hace la diferencia - me parece que si los compras tienes que cambiar las almohadillas , las que vienen son de piel sintética y no son tan grandes Yo ya sabia esto por reseñas que vi y lo comprobe cuando los probe Aprovechando que cambie las almohadillas tambien cambien la correa de arriba y sus dos tapas , me gusto mucho lo personalizable que es, yo le dejo la espuma en el micrófono porque me da flojera quitarsela , pero el micrófono se puede ocultar por completo

Por el precio. No es lo que esperaba

I used this with my PC for endless power and wireless connectivity. Occasionally use ut for mobile phones too.
