Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless VS Basically Everything Else

[@lewkrs4859]

I have watched SO many reviews on this headset. You are the ONLY one to bring up the button press on the volume wheel to adjust game vs chat audio, which is a huge feature for me that I assumed could only be adjusted via the DAC. This will play a huge part in whether or not I buy the headset, and I thank you!

[@sultanalmosfer2059]

Do you buy it? If yes do you recommend it?

[@loganstrawser1628]

​@@sultanalmosfer2059I would not, had mine for a year and a half and after about 8 months it started getting bad. Software was buggy as all get out, the sound profiles always get jacked up. Not worth it IMO. But I will say before they started having problems they were fantastic. Bad side is they gain problems mainly through the software rather quickly

[@garrett6389]

Bravo sir that should speak volumes of the quality of this channel.

[@Misfirem]

Seeing how this mic fares in comparison to the other flagships is truly important for me when making a buying decision, so seeing that in this video was huuuuge. Hoping to see this trend continue with mice and keyboards and other peripherals when applicable, I feel like something like that answers the question that a lot of people Google to death when buying a new product.

Sir, you should know that this review was the tipping point for me, I pulled the trigger after watching it and got my set of Arctis Nova Pro wireless. One small thing I added, while after trying the ANC buds were not an issue, I got the Wicked cushions gel variant and they turned 11/10. Keep up the great work, there is no point of this review that I have the slightest disagreement with. Subscribe and following since then. Great work.

[@nixkw]

Can you share your opinion on it 10 months later?

[@tezas87]

@@nixkw I am wearing them as I type these lines and I haven't had a second thought It's been my main gear all this time. I have them on 8 hrs a day for work in tech support and I game after work. They're absolutely amazing. Comfortable, amazing sound all around for music, comms and games, the suite is awesome and they're getting updates still. I recommend them, heart in hand and they're worth every penny. Get the Wicked Cushions with the gel, they're worth the price. Got the PS/PC version. Hope this helps.

[@nixkw]

@@tezas87 Thank you for the reply! Everyone that has a nova pro really compliments it and as I'm about to buy mine this really helped. But if you don't mind, could you share your experience when it comes to durability/build quality? I've seen that older nova modules had a lot of reports on broken handles, but that's been fixed on the nova pros apparently?

[@tezas87]

@@nixkw there has been absolutely no issue with the integrity of the headset, all switches work perfectly, the headband is perfectly tight as on the day I got the set, I got a spare and it's still in it's packaging, same with the batteries, working great. I got a spare set and it's still in it's box, and will be for some time, it seems. The adjustment mechanism works great, the swivel is great no deterioration at all after ten-plus months of relentless use. I cannot recommend it enough, and I know it's a pretty penny. I spent a buckload of cash on my desktop PC I use for ultrawide gaming and editing, and I still feel the best money I spent was on the Nova pro. The base station is connected to my personal rig and my work PC and works all day. OLED works perfectly. I have zero complaints, seriously. I only dropped the set once or twice, so it hasn't been abused to that effect, but I'm very careful with my things, so that's that.

[@nixkw]

@@tezas87 Thank you so much for caring to reply, it sure is expensive so I'm only willing to get it if it can last a long time, which seems to be the case. Your review only made me more sure that's going to be worth it!

Wireless + Removable battery + pretty dang good sound is instantly worth it to me. Didn't have any problems with the "nipple" or anything like that so far. Also the battery switch on the go is great too.

[@REZY_]

Man this review changed my perspective on these, I thought it was just another overpriced money grab by SteelSeries. These look really good, very solid mic and the extra battery charging at all times is a huge plus over the competitors. Seems like they went in on the software side as well, super feature packed.

[@markotesic]

@NorsemanPatriot I personally know about that since I owned a pair of Arctis Pro Wireless which broke on me, I also have DT990's and FiiO K5 Pro, but I've put it to rest and switched to these Nova's since they are more convenient for me. If they break again, I will be mad, but at the end of the day, I see them as an investment in my job, so it is what it is

[@terrycoder8328]

If you have a goxlr why would you use a headset mic? Seems counterintuitive to me but hey, you do you.

[@gregggorypecs2370]

Whoever is sniping on COD look alike they have aimbot, I've seen too many people use this ,that's how I know but I just bought the 2024 version of arctis nova pro and they are out of this world .by far the best headset I've have used, you won't have any problems with audio as it goes so loud and if your playing call of duty you won't even need it on a ten, if you have a quiet game you probably still don't need a ten which is awesome if you habe to adjust in long run .sound is incredible..alot of people had trouble hooking it up ,I did as well but I figured it out within a few hours..put it this way it's right in plain sight..I highly recommend these headsets and it's worth $350... order it at Walmart not at a3rd party seller .the packaging is awesome..I love the smell of new stuff and you can tell it wasn't touched....so many options in this device definitely 10/10 headset..if anyone is taking to you in the room whike thesebare on you wont be able to hear them snd it does cancel out a decent amount of noise even if it didn't the volume is insane so that's not a problem .they fit very snug and has like 3 settings for any size head.....I did my research on what are the best headsets of 2024 and this was on top of the list and they were accurate.. definitely #1..if you are looking for the best I would get this one... no doubt

[@nofxer]

Don't know if it's been said, but throwing on a replacement set of pads from Wicked Cushions takes away the issue with the little nub, and adds great comfort. I am enjoying the wireless Novas quite a lot, both out and about and when I game.

[@braden7934]

Huge props to you for putting in the time on this review. I purchased the A50's, ran accross your review and will be returning them for the SteelSeries instead. Was going to try something new, but I wish I had watched this first before I bought.

[@xuxon24]

I always thought that this could be a decent pick for someone that wants a good headset that works good for gaming and for music consumption. They are basically priced at the same point as a Sony xm4 but are more tuned towards gaming. Also as an Xbox player not a lot of the other examples work fully with Xbox so I see this as a good deal specially if I get them later in a discount.

[@deaths.disgrace]

There is an xbox variant of this headset

[@mcbrite]

The much older Logitech Wireless Pro X blabla headset SMASHES this in literally every and any category except dual connectivity... Audio quality on the Steelseries is pure shit and, unlike claimed in the video, I did not notice ANY improvement to the older wireless Steelseries headsets... I had such high hopes for the Steelseries, but they don't learn, just like with their mice...

Hi Brian, I had a video idea recently about having an audio setup at different budgets, like those PC builds at a specific budget videos.

I went from the Logitech Pro X Wireless headset to the Sennheiser PC38X. Personally I love the sound quality of them, However, losing the wireless capability, and an issue where I have trouble hearing things directly in front of me has left me a tiny bit soured on them. Because of that issue, and the fact that wireless is SO SO SO convenient, it's really making me want to pull the trigger on these. All of the previous wireless flagships that have come out all seem to have some sort of major shortcoming that always feels like a dealbreaker. I have no problem paying up if the quality of the product is good. Thanks for the video, really helpful input!

[@xeryl_]

great review really did a great job ive just never heard someone refer to cod as C.O.D

[@DarthRingo]

I had the old Arctis Pro Wireless and I loved the wireless part and the swappable batteries. It made things really convenient. However there was a few things that bothered me. First it was the ridiculously short headband. I've never really considered myself as having a big head but obviously I do. Glad to hear they've fixed that. Secondly it was the very noticeable white noise that was constant. It could be somewhat lowered if you turned off the volume boost in the software. But then you pretty much had to keep them at max volume to get descent volume. Having sidetone activated made the white noise slightly more pronounced. I've seen a lot of people having this problem with the old Arctis Pro. Did you notice any of this in your old pair? And if so is it better in the new ones? I appreciate the review, but not sure if I dare to take the leap on wireless gaming audio again after the last pair.

[@deagle7776]

I also have the white noise. I was bothered by it when I first bought the headset. But now I always forget about it and never bothers me.

[@josuad6890]

also can confirm about the hiss in old arctis wireless pro. a year of usage, I just got used to it. The pros of this thing FAR outweighs the hiss. Thinking of upgrading to nova to remove the hiss, but those pleather pads is a deal breaker for me.

Great review BST. When you asked about Sonor on console, did you mean being able to set the Sonar EQ onto the headset or did you mean Steelseries will actually make the Sonar app available on consoles?

[@omgabaddon]

[@badseedtech]

Thank you so much for taking the time. This one took a while to produce so I'm really glad to hear its hitting the mark.

[@skykingusa]

Thanks for the video! I too used the prior version of the Arctis Pro Wireless and loved it for many reasons, but the comfort was not there for me and sadly I just had to replace it. At the time I vowed that if they created one that was more comfortable, I would buy it. Unfortunately, since that time I have been spoiled by my PC38X open-back headset and I don't think I could go back to a closed-back for gaming now. I wish SteelSeries would somehow make a version of this that was open-back. If they did, I think I might be the first one to order it. My two favorite features of this headset is 1) the wireless ability (of course) and 2) that I could stay connected to my mobile phone while gaming. This was important to me because I would sometimes get important calls during a gaming session which I could easily answer and deal with without any major interruptions to the game.

I think I'm gonna pick these up. I love the arctis pro wireless. After my first pair broke apart at the earcup, I was out of warranty by about three months.

[@alphacompton]

I thought the Virtuoso XT wireless was the best headset on the market but the lack of deep bass made me return it.

[@alexossan2829]

I would think $50 is a great deal for the base station over the Sony H9. I wonder why headset makers don't just let the mic get it's own wireless connection. That should eliminate any bandwidth problem. I guess the market for that is just too niche and anyone who cares about mic quality is already using an external wired mic anyways. But a noise floor (i.e. the perpetual hiss when the unit is turned on) is a big no-no for me. My Arctis Pro Wireless had a very audible noise floor that I can hear even through the quieter parts of songs, so I'm very reluctant to ever consider SteelSeries headsets ever again. But their feature sets are right in the center of my strike zone. Right now I'm using my AirPods Max for ANC gaming, wired to my ZEN DAC. I'm probably going to end up getting the Sony H9 and just ignore its mic, because I'm afraid of getting audible noise floor on the Nova Pro Wireless...

[@Platinum_Squid]

@@NotMagnuss Definitely. But it can absolutely be done because the HS80 is doing it at the $150 price point. Kind of amazing these headsets double the price have not caught on. I'm waiting for Corsair's next drop because they are the only ones that have figured this out.

[@alexsegundo252]

I know everyone is talking about the mic and the sound quality, features etc. I'm just happy someone actually reviewed head size comfortability since I too am of the large head gang bless up

[@TG09]

Nice round up, thanks, just got these yesterday

[@tonygarcia3406]

Man I love your videos, i did miss your signature opening though 🥺 hope to see it in a future vid! Just picked up these headsets for my brother and we are as excited as we can be for them!

[@One_Guy]

5:47 this is by far the biggest concern i have. Optical cables are how i currently use my setup... really wish they would have kept these. would have been quite nice to dual purpose the 3.5mm jacks to keep optical support.

Absolutey fantastic video. Been using my nova pro wireless' for nearly three years now. Not a single issue. Steelseries GG in all is a fantastic software, quality build both on the headset and dac, and to be honest, id pay the price alone for the hot swappable battery, favourite feature of any headset ever

[@fshizl2918]

Brian, great review. As someone who owned the wireless H and then the wireless 800s after, I wanted to try these out. My biggest decision for getting these new ones vs another brand is the swappable batteries. That makes these permanently wireless as you never have to plug in the cable to recharge the headset. Thanks again. Love watching your videos.

[@Reaktion280z]

Same reason I have 800s and soon to be the Novas. It's honestly stupid that literally no one else offers that as a feature on wireless headsets. They must hate money or something haha.

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

I still have the 800’s. Volume wheel doesnt work and headband just doesnt feel real tight anymore. BB has these on sale right now - might take the plunge. Also - noise canceling seems like a great way to increase game immersion.

[@ssmith3617]

Awesome vid. If I'm ever in the market to upgrade my G Pro X Wireless I'll definitely look these up. Love how you throw the innuendos in there. Keeps things light and is a good laugh. New studio is awesome. Can't wait for the tour

[@badseedtech]

Tysm!

[@insulinaddict9586]

@NorsemanPatriot this is a different headset, you're literally spamming misinformation. Plus these are so new time will till if they really did fix that.

[@insulinaddict9586]

@NorsemanPatriot the design is different.

[@FullHavocJosh]

This was fantastic, well done with the comparisons to similar products!

[@navid4024]

Wow!!! this was very unexpected, such thorough review, thanks and kudos👍

[@Legolad]

Subscribing to you because you're the best and most thorough reviewer I've seen on KZbin. Props to you!

[@badseedtech]

Thanks David, I really appreciate that!

[@Tigernemesis]

Awesome video! I'm upgrading from Astro A50 Gen 4s to this headset & am glad I did a lot of research first 👀 Getting my new headset tomorrow! 🔥

[@reedyma]

Wow this review totally sold me on these, great video, thanks for the info and great compairisons.

[@jasonmartinalaska]

Best heaset review I've seen (heard?) Thanks for the detailed review. SUBBED!

[@saintdiddy]

Awesome review, first time stumbling onto your channel, really appreciate the candid and detailed comparisons. And thank you for giving me the green light to do with my dongle as I please 😂

[@bigz900]

DUDE I literally bought the G Pro X headset yesterday then you post this banger!

[@bcp9516]

This was a great video. Concise and thorough at the same time. I was lucky enough to catch a deal a few days ago with these headphones $100 off so this purchase was a no-brainer.

[@mikerobbins2076]

hands down u got he best headset reviews on youtube

[@rorytaylor626]

Don't think that "pull out game" went unnoticed. You're really good at slipping it in.

[@marketmagic7219]

Best gaming headphones review on youtube and exactly what I was looking for to help me choose a high end headset! thank you sir and please keep it up!

[@FunkyHQYT]

This is the video I was waiting for! While I've really gotten into gaming with IEM's, I've been super curious about this headset and I've been thinking about picking it up. The convenience of wireless is super appealing after using the short cables of IEM's for a while now. I really appreciate your take on these!

[@FunkyHQYT]

@NorsemanPatriot I have Moondrop Arias! I tried the ZS10 Pros and they don't work well with my Elgato Wave:XLR that I use as my interface.

[@FunkyHQYT]

@NorsemanPatriot I've been thinking about getting an amp instead of just running straight out of my Wave:XLR. Thanks for this info!

[@FunkyHQYT]

@NorsemanPatriot Thank you! I'll consider it!

[@SomsaiArts]

I agree with others. This was an outstanding in-depth review. Amazing job. Thanks!

[@jqstar1786]

I got these in the spring Amazon sale, it was a huge investment for me, but I am so pleased with them and so are my gaming buddies with the improved mic on my old Logitech headset.

[@kellywasden]

Really looking forward to better earcups for sure. Upgraded from the previous arctis pro wireless... 100% recommend

[@allanben10]

Man I gotta say I do not subscribe to anybody when it comes to reviews but your s*** was just so well explained and so well out that I just subscribed to you just so I have you provided me with a review
