SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless Unboxing & Review

[@grannysgrass]

Only criticism of the review is no description or mention of the app, which for me was one of the biggest selling points.

Kind of a big thing to leave out, it's the only reason to get this headset and not others in the same price point

Just bought mine, can't wait to get them on my head. Only annoyance for me was that the White version wasn't avaliable where I live :(

Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed vs HyperX Cloud III Wireless vs Arctis Nova 5, im having trouble choosing between these 3, which one is the best overall ?

[@ohshititsu]

same bro just not the cloud 3 but the alpha wireless. Cloud alphas dont have bluetooth but have an amazing 300 hour battery and cloud 3 120 hours, blackshark v2 pro are the best overall but the hinge problem has been holding me off from buying them otherwise it would have been an easy choice

I bought the steelseries arctis nova 5 on sale when it was significantly cheaper then the others and I've had no issues. Love the app control which works perfectly as I cant access the software on xbox. From what i've heard the cloud III wireless was just worse then the cloud 2's in most cases. My brother owned the wired version of the Blackshark and it lasted a good 2-3 years until the hinge broke, plus the fit on the headband was significantly looser compared to the other headsets meaning it would often make unwanted adjustments when putting on and taking off the headset. My verdict: Steelseries is much more reliable.

@@grannysgrass thanks for the answer, i decided to go with the steelseries nova 5 since its the only one i can use going outside, the hyperspeed has non detachable mic while the hyperx looks too much of gaming headphone xD. How is the nova 5 mic compared to the other two ?

[@grannysgrass]

@@mohammadazfarbintalibe4112 ⁠The mic is better than the previous gen mics on the Steelseries headsets and sounds really clear. I do believe however the black shark does have a slightly higher quality microphone and the cloud 3’s should be avoided at all costs.

Could you do a comparison with the kraken V4's someday and see which one is better? I'm between those 2 and wanna see how good are those side by side

Thank you brother for this wonderful review. I am confused between this headset and Razer Blackshark v2 pro wireless 2023. Which one do you recommend?

[@Legend._.-.328-d4f]

Get the arctis the black shark will break within 5 months happened to me the arctis is built better

@@Legend._.-.328-d4fmy black shark i have them since 2021. You need to take care of your stuff better.

I wish they kept the buttons and dial away from the outer edge (stepped in and up like the nova7) more tucked away from getting swiped when couch gaming, or when moving your head around while wearing a hoodie. 🤷‍♂
