SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Xbox - Multi-System Gaming Headset (Xbox & PC / Switch + Bluetooth) - Unlimited Battery Life; 2 Hot-Swap Batteries - Active Noise Cancellation - ClearCast Gen2 Mic

Absolutely brilliant set of headphones. Quality is outstanding, feeling extremely sturdy, luxury and comfortable all at once. Looks equally as high quality. Definitely worth the price for wireless headphones. Connectivity is outstanding, the range is as large as practically necessary and then some. Easily works through walls and even between floors without so much as a delay. Multiple batteries make it so there is minimal, if any downtime. One battery can be charging 24/7 inside the base station, and can be switched in under 10 seconds. Easy to set up and use, docking station can be plugged into a PC and Xbox simultaneously, seamlessly switching with a few clicks on the headset itself, all while being connected to another device via Bluetooth. Bluetooth and devices connected to the base station can be played at the same time. Sound quality is outstanding, able to be adjusted via the Steelseries PC app to best suit each individual for each purpose (Media, gaming, chat, etc.). Noise cancellation is brilliant for muting external sounds like PC fans, outside ambience and anything else. Transparent mode is equally as impressive, making it sound as if I'm not even wearing a headset. Microphone is decent quality, and can also be adjusted via the Steelseries app. Comes with a cover to prevent breath and harsh spitting sounds coming through. Mute button does occasionally cause a sound when activated that others can hear, which is mildly annoying. Otherwise this is the only nitpick issue I can make for these headphones.

Purchased this set of headphones for the hot swappable battery aspect primarily - as i wanted to retain wireless but not have to keep plugging cables in. The heaphones themselves are of decent build quality & the sound quality is there - although i had to apply some EQ to get them to how i like them, they don't compare in quality to very high end headphones of which i do own a pair (not quite as much depth on the low end and the highs aren't as nice) , but for day to day they are perfect and more than enough for gaming. The ANC is adequate - sometimes useful, sometimes not depending on the external ambient noise. I do find that i have it off more than on though as it causes me to feel pressure in my ears which i don't find enjoyable. They are also very useful for work too - as i can just use the bluetooth aspect of them to connect to my work gear while not having to move cables on the DAC to something else etc. Speaking of which, the DAC that these come with houses the spare battery on the right hand side for charging when you are using the alternate battery in the headset, the DAC has all the controls and more that the headset does, very intuitive to use, clear screen & i recently found it it even integrates with games like Counter Strike to provide me with stats on the game (this will require the install of SteelSeries GG software on PC though to gather that information and display it). This is the type of product that is 70% hardware and 30% software - as a lot of the features that make these headphones great is down to the software counter part. Steel Series seem very good with firmware updates and software package updates which keep on making this package as a whole a lot better. To add to this - i can purchase even more spare batteries for this completely seperately, which is a comforting thought and makes me feel this is a very longevity focused product

Gamer here. So before I was using the Beyerdynamic DT 900 pros and I thought they were phenomenal! But i have to say I like these even better. This is my first wireless headphones and it took a bit getting used to. I kept trying to swipe away the cable like I had to on my other pair, forgetting these are wireless. I havent seen any delay in sound. You can still plug them in via 3.5mm jack as well. Another great thing is you can be connected to the pc via the WiFi and then connected to you mobile phone with the Bluetooth, and then within the software you can pick what the headphones do with the bluetooth. Like lower your game volume when your on a call. The little station that they come with is pretty cool. And the fact it charges your second battery as well while your using the other one. So your never without power. I also like that when you swap the battery over it auto reconnects so you don't need to power them back on again. You can change all the settings via the little station or you can download the software for more indepth. But on a finishing note the sound on these is pretty spectacular. I know they are pricey but they are worth it. My only gripe is the pleather earmuffs. But I get that they are meant to help cut out background noise. But id rather have like the plushy earmuffs. Less sweating. But other than that I love them.

The Nova Pro is easily the best headset for xbox with the easy setup and useful features. Not relying upon xbox wireless is nice as my last wireless xbox headset suffered from a lot of signal loss whereas it isn't an issue with this. The headset is on the whole comfortable and I've been able to wear it for hours without any discomfort with one notable exception. There is a notch that sticks out from the drivers on both ears which is quite uncomfortable when it touches my ear (which happens almost every time I use the headset) but sitting the headset in the right position seems to stop it from touching my ear. The Bluetooth and 2.4/5GHz work well together as well as separately and the subdued design and retractable mic mean I can just wear these as a good pair of Bluetooth headphones. Overall the headset is great and the DAC is incredibly useful despite a recent update that prevented it from turning off (although this feature has since returned). The 2 rechargeable batteries have saved me on multiple occasions and charging / storing the one I'm not using in the DAC means that for once, I haven't lost it. All things considered this is a great headset however it has one major drawback, the price. It is a bit steep. But there really is nothing like it at the moment.

Headphones are comfy, audio quality is great but the software is terrible. i would recommend now downloading the software and just use the physical interface to adjust any settings. microphone quality is also not the best, as is with most headsets, i’d suggest buying a separate microphone However these are still a good pair of premium gaming headphones. Swappable battery is great and means one less wire tracing across my desk. Really easy to setup up of course. However i don’t think the high price is justified. Just not worth it for £300 odd

An amazing pair of headphones! One of the best I’ve owned the crisp 3D audio and ease of connectivity is great! Having swappable battery’s is a game changer no longer have to sit awkwardly with a wire plugged in! The mixer tops it off making it feel really premium and work the price!

Out of the box these feel good and the fit is nice, but you will 100% have to spend out extra on 3rd party ear cups due to the thin foam layer causing your ear to have contact with the ANC bud Audio is terrible initially, and takes a lot of work to dial in a reasonable sound. Sonar is still a crap solution and the base station is an entirely unnecessary addition that adds to the cost without really adding much to the overall experience The good : 1: Once you have a decent sound dialled in, they are a reasonable quality. 2: XBox version cannot be beaten for broad compatibility across systems (I use it for PC, XBox and PS5) The middling: 1: I preferred a single dongle swapped between systems and the hub is just not useful except as a charger 2: Battery life is pretty average and even with higher capacity batteries installed, comes nowhere near their claims 3: On headset controls are ok.. but no way to play/pause from the headset directly which is an annoyance The bad: 1: Sonar.. 2: The price. You can get the Arctis 7X for a 3rd of the price with 90% of the features and comparable sound quality. 3: The foam cups. You need to spend extra to make these truly comfortable 4: Audio out of the box is awful and spatial surround is an utterly worthless addition 5: SteelSeries support is just terrible... 6: Sonar again. If you need broad compatibility, I'd recommend looking at cheaper SS options Otherwise I'd have returned these and looked elsewhere...

Amazing headset!! Ive had steel series for a while but only the cheaper arctis 3 ect these are so much better its like they arent made by the same company!! Amazing build quality , great fit and extremely comfortable dont casue any ear fatigue! Great noise cancellation! Just amazing it is a shame there isnt a xbox app to tune the sound even more like you can on pc i didnt realise this till i had them home! Also the mac features are limited! With xbox you can only use a set of presets built into the base station but there are loads on PC hope they add a way we xbox users can add different presets our self! Currently there is one custom slot i can manually adjust which is good but not as good as pc users! And even if you make presents on a pc you cant take them across to xbox!
