SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Multi-System Gaming Headset - Premium Hi-Fi Drivers - Active Noise Cancellation - Infinity Power System - ClearCast Gen 2 Mic - PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Mobile

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.

These headphones are amazing! Thus is the first time I've tried a product from SteelSeries and I think im going to have to make the switch fully to them soon! Im a long time user of razer products but this headset has me sold on steel series. Build quality of the headset is great and they feel lightweight. I have a somewhat large head and they fit well and even fit around my ears. The headset is compatible with running on pc, consoles, bluetooth to your phone, and apparently can even be configured to combine all your channels to a line out. The sound is amazing and using SteelSeries Sonar helps modify the EQ to really make them shine. Out of the box they aren't super loud but this can be fixed in the app by increasing the additional volume gain. Directional audio sounds great and can be tuned in the app. ANC didn't really work as well as I would have expected it to but its ambient mode works great as long as you aren't playing any audio. The range you can walk away from the base station xan be modified in the app but without focusing on extra range, I can walk around the house just fine without any connectivity issues. One of my most favorite features has got to be the separate channels. When on pc, it will have a game volume input, a chat volume input, and its mic output. This allows the ability to adjust volumes on the fly so you can hear people in your call better or to turn them down so you can focus on something you're trying to listen to. They even built this functionality so you can either alter the audio mix from the base or the headphones by clicking in the volume button and turning the volume wheel towards the audio you want to hear which is displayed on the base. Battery life is amazing for these. It took me about 24hrs of use to get one Battery from 100% to about 25%. Battery was fully charged within 1 - 2 hours. The ability to swap batteries out with ease is an amazing feature that make these headphones that much better over the rest!

Still going strong after 2 years of daily use. NO wear on the ear cups, audio still great, batteries are still staying charged for 18+ hrs. Overall, very quality and worth the purchase. I never have any issues with the hardware or performance. Stays connected, audio never glitches or disconnects, except when walking out of range and occasional shutdowns when they're idle for too long - usually 8+hrs. I use these for gaming, music, as well as electric instrument practice. Works really well with amps, both on their own and with the base station. I also LOVE the app mixer. It does have a learning curve, but easy enough to figure out. Only gripe is the head band needs replacing yearly, but that's not that big of a deal to me, since it's 1) a relatively cheap replacement at $10-$30 and 2) the comparable Corsair Virtuoso's I used to own would need new cuffs, mic, and headband cushion like every 6-8mo ($40-$60+), plus all the consistent connectivity and performance issues. All in all, very happy with my purchase!

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband but upon opening it, the earmuffs were dirty. It had red and brown patches. A bit disappointed for such an expensive headphones.

Tras haber estado mas de un año usándolos puedo decir que definitivamente valen la pena, materiales de calidad, sonido inmersivo y preciso, cómodos y gran flexibilidad en personalización además de que son universales para todo tipo de consolas, pc y bluethoot y cuentan con gran engine para que tu mismo crees los drivers de sonido y modifiques las frecuencias a tu gusto., Grandes audífonos de alta gama.

Me encanto el sonido, me encantan que traigan una pila extra para nunca perder tiempo cargandolos, son bastantes livianos y parecen son bastante comodos pero cuando te los colocas pero despues de unos minutos usandolos se calientan demaciado la parte de las orejas y eso la verdad si molesta muchisimo!, adicional a este producto compre las almoadillas que se supone que estan un poco menos calientes ya que son de gel, y un asi se sienten calientes la verdad si vas a estar mucho tiempo con ellos sin un aire acondicionado arriba de frio de lo normal no lo recomiendo..

Materiales de muy buena calidad, la cancelación de ruido es buena. La calidad de audio, bajos y el micrófono integrado son muy buenos, con ayuda del software puedes personalizar la experiencia para música, juegos y voz. Lo único malo es que el Dock OLED nunca se apaga cuando lo conectas a la PC. Espero lo resuelvan con alguna actualización.

Funcionan al 100% sin ninguna falla, el vendedor 100% recomendado. Insonorizacion, casi perfecta para unos audífonos de "gaming" Bastante cómodos Bateria de larga duración Dac pequeño y fácil de acomodar y configurar
