  • Dual Purposed and Perfect...almost...
Style: PC Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • Negative Reviews need to read the instruction manual.
Style: PC Color: Black
I see the top review is by a guy named M. Webb. I'd like to address some of his points and how just a few seconds of reading the instructions would have addressed all but one concern he has because the optical port was removed. I have no issues with the GG software. There is a feature that will allow you to hear yourself with ANC on when you're using the mic. If you go to the break-out box, you can turn that off. Other than that, I don't see why he is recommending to stay away from it. You NEED it to update the firmware. 1. "you're restricted to only making changes to sound profiles, etc when you use the software" Hold the button down, it will go into the menus to adjust the sound profiles. It says so in the instruction manual. After updating the firmware I closed the app and have not opened it again. It's running in the background, and I have not used to adjust levels or anything. I do it all with the break-out box it came with. 2. "So they give you this charging box now that doesn't let you do anything other than adjust the volume and chatmix" Again, HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN for like 2 seconds and you can adjust everything from the break-out box just like the previous model. You CAN change sound profiles. You CAN adjust the chant mix You CAN switch input/output modes Read the instructions. 3. "Smaller battery - the previous generation used 1000 mah - they reduced the size to 700 mah. Less capacity so now we have to charge more often / buy more batteries" This is just flat out WRONG. The batteries easily last twice as long as the previous model. The previous model had a much shorter battery life, I have no idea WTF he's even talking about, to be honest. 4. They didn't get rid of digital output, but they did get rid of the optical output, that's his first valid point. But I don't know why you would need it anymore. You can link this with any device that has a USB with the included USB C cable. And yes, it's in surround, not stereo. Again, it seems like he just needs to read instructions, I have had 0 issues swapping devices without having to unplug/plug in any device. The headset outputs surround sound, check your settings. 5. " They decided to use the cheapest plastic design at this single point of failure resulting in headphones that deteriorate well within the warranty period unless you have a tiny head or treat them like they're made of glass." I have no idea what he's even talking about. These are some of the sturdiest headphones I've ever bought. They feel like a tank and are solid. I don't know where this "single point of failure is." He doesn't explain or elaborate. I am looking all over my set and can't find what he's talking about. Everything is sturdy, there are made from metal and thick plastic, but it doesn't feel heavy to wear. 6. "ANC is shit quality. I Have 4 year old BOSE with ANC that work so much better at masking / eliminating drone noise." The ANC is not the best you can get, but it works really well. Based on his previous complaints, I would guess he doesn't know how to turn the ANC on. I cannot hear my PC next to me, I cannot hear the AC running from where I'm sitting with the ANC turned on. Is the ANC as good as my Sony XM5s? Hell no, but those are the best in the industry. If you're getting these to wear everywhere and block sound, they are not the best, for that. But for just sitting at home playing games, again, it works really well. So in conclusion, he has no idea what he's talking about. These are some of the best feeling and sounding gaming headsets I've ever bought. Wearing them kind of feels just like the Sony XM4/5s. So if you like how those fit and feel, you will like this headset. You can connect to 2 devices with this at once too using the breakout box and Bluetooth. So you can listen to a podcast/music on your phone and be connected to your PC/PS5 at the same time listening to both. So I would very much recommend this if you can afford it. They are a very good headset and a justifiable upgrade over the previous model. Some other things to address. I saw another complaint about that, Bluetooth not working. It works fine if you connect it correctly and don't walk away too far. But I can walk downstairs and still listen to my phone with this if the phone is upstairs connected with Bluetooth. I have not had any issues dropping the connection. Maybe it's a defect and he should exchange them? I don't know, I don't have that issue. Another complaint was about having to use the software to adjust the chatmix. You CAN NOT use the software for that. If you try and adjust it with the software it tells you to use the box! See the included screenshot. ... show more

  • Premium sound and battery system make this worth it — if you’ll actually use it
Style: PC Color: White
I primarily use these on PC for gaming, and the sound quality is genuinely excellent — very clean and detailed. I also have the Arctis Nova 1, which already sounds good for a wired headset, but this is clearly a step above. Comfort has been great even in longer 4–5 hour sessions. No pressure points or fatigue, which matters more than I expected at this price. The hot-swappable battery system is a standout feature and one of the main reasons I bought these. Being able to swap batteries instead of constantly plugging in makes a big difference in day-to-day use. The base station exists mostly for setup in my case — I don’t interact with it much after that. The biggest downside is price. Like a lot of SteelSeries gear, it’s expensive, and you really need to be someone who will take advantage of what it offers. If you’re just looking for decent sound, there are cheaper options that will get you most of the way there. That said, if you want strong wireless performance, great sound, and the convenience of the battery system, this is a very solid headset. ... show more
