Arctis Nova Pro - Multi-System Gaming Headset (PS5, PC, Switch & More) - Premium Hi-Fi Drivers - Hi-Res Certified GameDAC Gen2 with ESS Sabre QuadDAC - 360° Spatial Audio - Retractable Mic

Perfect sound. Excellent piece of equipment

Absolute quality sound

The actual headphones are really good. The quality of the sound and the mic are amazing and the included dial is a great addition although I seldomly use it. I've got really good feedback on the mic quality with some mates saying it is one of the best they've heard. The only issue with it is the software which is really annoying, buggy and unintuitive. It also contains ads which is disappointing to see after purchasing such an expensive product. I still recommend it but expect a few software issues especially when you first get them.

Waste of money. Bought these on Amazon Finance 2 months ago and they are broken already. I've started the process in sending them back for repair but I will do that when I can be bothered. I'm back to using PC external speakers again and don't want to bother with dodgy headphones again

I use this every day in a setup where I have two PCs and want to be able to switch the headphones between them. It works great and the sound quality is good both input and output. However there are two niggles which make it 4 stars instead of 5: 1. I'd really like a mode where it mixed the sounds from both PCs rather than making you select one or the other. This would be super useful to have a YouTube video or Discord or Teams running on one PC screen while in a game on the other. 2. The Sonar software is rubbish, nothing like as good as the hardware. You don't have to use it so it isn't a deal breaker but it is disappointing. I was expecting 3D sound effects so you could tell where enemies were from footsteps but that never worked for me and a few times I've had a situation where there was no sound when you used the Sonar driver but it was fine when you went to the Steel Series driver. Despite these problems and not getting all the features I expected to work in practice I'm glad I bought them. The sound quality is excellent, they are convenient when you have two PCs and because they are wired you can use them all day without running out of battery.

I was previously using a Logitech headset from my partner and wanted my own in which I could control the sounds better from chat to game to music, this is it! Great quality sound, easy to use, comfy as anything, download the sonar app and it's so simple to adjust controls. Con - the wire connected to the turntable connector is quite short, I've took it round the back and under the desk now, because the wire and mic are on the left of the headset and can't be switched, meaning it kept getting in the way of my hand on the keyboard.

Very impressed. These are very nice. I have only had 1 cheap headset before these so I can't compare, but i will say that these are comfortable, the sound quality is good and the mic works well, with people mentioning they can hear the bass in my voice. The6 fit very well and the dac controller is a cool touch.

So this is my 2nd SteelSeries Headset and I gotta say, this will definitely be the last SteelSeries Product I'll buy, first off, the Sound Quality out of the gate is pretty damn horrendous, took me a fair bit of tweaking to get it somewhere that was reasonable quality, originally it was tinny and dull, and much worse than my previous Arctis 5, which btw ended up clashing with the Software at some point on my old computer and started causing bluescreens if I used the Gaming Audio section of the headset, rendering the software somewhat useless as it would no longer interact with my headset in terms of RGB or Equaliser Tweaks. So anyway I got these to go along with my new PC and the bass on these are incredibly subpar, the Arctis 5 in that regard was certainly much better, and overall probably prefer the Arctis 5 for its sound quality there. When it comes to gaming however and the surround sound, its pretty good, positioning is rather accurate and everything, and some options in the SteelSeries software to program them. Now my biggest issue with these Headsets, and that is the SteelSeries software itself...to be honest it's pretty appalling when working with its hardware, the Adapter that comes with this to allow you to change your ChatMix audio is constantly going out and having to be unplugged and plugged back in to return so you can change your Chat and Game audio again, for something that costs about £250 you'd think this wouldn't be an issue to begin with in its hardware, and compatibility with its software. Furthermore, if you try to simply just change it in the software (there is actually a dial-bar there for you to drag apparently) it tells you to do this on the device instead...well SteelSeries that would be great, IF YOU WOULD LET ME! Heheh so a dumb thing there that you can't actually interact with for some...some reason I cannot particularly fathom to be honest. Overall, the quality is okay, but certainly not worth the price tag, and the software really needs some work to be more compatible with it's hardware and causing less headaches, alongside some QoL improvements... Oh, and the Mic Quality is actually pretty good by the way.

An amazing piece of gear. I was amazed with the Arctis Nova pros. Going from a great studio headphones to these were flawless. Being able to have a seamless sound across both PC and PS5 is a must. Being able to have a custom EQ preset via the GameDAC for console is awesome, and the inclusion of GG Sonar on PC is great. The only "negative" thing right know is the cable. But the pros with cable is audio quality and latency. Highly recommend this headset to anyone!

Passt alles, Kang hervorragend, Bedienung einfach.

Dopo settimane di utilizzo intenso, posso dire con certezza che le SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro (versione cablata) sono tra le migliori cuffie da gaming attualmente in circolazione. Se siete gamer esigenti o anche semplicemente appassionati di audio di qualità, questo modello è un investimento che vale fino all’ultimo centesimo. 🎧 Design e comfort: solide, eleganti e ben pensate La prima cosa che colpisce è il design pulito, moderno e davvero premium. Non sembrano le solite cuffie da gaming “tamarre” e plasticose: qui siamo su tutt’altro livello. I materiali sono solidi, la struttura in metallo leggero dà una bella sensazione di robustezza e i padiglioni in memory foam rivestiti in similpelle sono comodissimi, avvolgono l’orecchio senza stringere troppo. L’unica nota da tenere in conto è che d’estate possono scaldare un po’, ma questo è il compromesso naturale di padiglioni chiusi così isolanti. Per sessioni lunghe in inverno o con aria condizionata, sono perfette. 🔊 Qualità del suono: un livello superiore Appena collegate, si sente subito la differenza rispetto a qualsiasi cuffia da gaming base: il suono è profondo, chiaro, dettagliato. I bassi ci sono, ma non sono invadenti; i medi e gli alti sono ben bilanciati. Ottime sia per il gaming competitivo (FPS, MOBA ecc.), che per il gioco narrativo/cinematografico dove l’ambiente sonoro è fondamentale. Ma la vera magia arriva quando si abbina tutto alla SteelSeries GG + Sonar App, il software gratuito che sblocca il vero potenziale delle Nova Pro. 🧠 L’App SteelSeries GG (Sonar): il vero game changer L'app SteelSeries GG (con funzione Sonar) è una delle cose che più mi ha sorpreso positivamente. Equalizzatore a 10 bande completamente personalizzabile: puoi modificare ogni frequenza secondo le tue preferenze o scegliere tra i profili predefiniti per “FPS”, “Cinema”, “Musica” e altro. Audio spaziale 360° (virtual surround) gestito direttamente dal software, con un livello di chiarezza che ti fa distinguere passi, spari, direzioni con una precisione impressionante. Ideale per chi gioca a titoli competitivi come Call of Duty, Valorant o Apex Legends. Mix audio multipli: puoi dividere e bilanciare l’audio di gioco e quello vocale (es. Discord o TeamSpeak), così da non dover più abbassare tutto manualmente quando gli amici parlano. Parametri dedicati per ogni app: puoi settare profili diversi per ogni gioco/app che usi. Per esempio, puoi avere un audio più cinematografico per Cyberpunk 2077 e uno più asciutto e diretto per CS:GO. Regolazioni per il microfono con eliminazione del rumore attiva, compressore e controllo del tono vocale — utile anche se si streamma o si fa videochiamata. Insomma, l’app è qualcosa di realmente utile, non solo una “decorazione” marketing come spesso accade con altri marchi. 🎤 Microfono: niente da invidiare ai top esterni Il microfono retrattile è discreto ma funzionale. Si sente molto bene, con voce chiara e priva di disturbi. E con i filtri attivabili tramite l’app (es. soppressione del rumore, limiter, compressore), può tranquillamente sostituire microfoni esterni di fascia media. ⚠️ Unica pecca: il prezzo della versione wireless Se avessi potuto, avrei preso la versione wireless… ma il prezzo è davvero impegnativo. Capisco che abbia più funzioni (Dual Wireless, batteria intercambiabile, DAC esterno), ma siamo su cifre molto più alte. Per questo ho optato per la versione cablata, che comunque non ti fa rimpiangere nulla in quanto a prestazioni. E almeno non ci si preoccupa mai della batteria. ✅ In conclusione: una scelta da intenditori Le SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro sono un prodotto premium, per utenti esigenti, ma che ripagano in pieno. La combinazione tra qualità costruttiva, comfort, audio cristallino e l’app Sonar super personalizzabile le rende difficili da battere. 🔹 Pro: Suono nitido e immersivo Comodità top anche per sessioni lunghe App Sonar completa e utilissima Microfono eccellente Costruzione solida ed elegante 🔸 Contro: Padiglioni un po’ caldi d’estate Prezzo alto per la versione wireless Se sei un appassionato di gaming o un amante dell’audio, e vuoi qualcosa che duri nel tempo e che ti offra un vantaggio reale nei giochi, queste cuffie fanno al caso tuo. 💯 Super consigliate.

Maybe I'm spoilted from having true audiophile headphones... I wasn't expecting to be blown away but after owning and loving the 2018 Arctis Pro Wireless I was keen to give these a chance... and ughh... Steelseries have dropped the ball for sure. The needed software processes sound quality into muddy slop. .. the build quality feels cheap... was absolutely not expecting such a downgrade. For this price you can do much better and not need bloated software constantly running in the background. Shame.

The headset are very sadly bad, the sound quality is bad and uncomfortable, I used them on my PS5 for two hours and I couldn't continue.
