[@gbert15]

I hope you review the Atlas Air first. Been really looking forward to an open back wireless headset for a long time now and already have it on pre-order so I'm hoping it's as good at FPS as the Stealth Pros while also having a really nice microphone 🤞🏼

[@jamesstevens968]

Hi I hope you play on pc because these atlas are mostly for pc I'm rocking the nova pro wireless fir my ps5 and the astro a50x but haven't touched the astro a50x since I've been using the nova pro wireless I have the new white edition nova pro decked out in the snow white wicked cushions and the snow white silicone band and side plates awesome if you can afford them astro a50x too much bass so I don't think these new turtle beach are going to outshine the nova pro white edition I don't want to downgrade but stay safe and happy gaming to all

Thanks for this review. I was thinking: oh shoot I should have gotten the 5x but then you brought up that they don’t support duel inputs and I feel good about my 7x again. Yeah it’s kind of a niche feature but once you get used to it like I did with my old Arctis 3 BT (that was an aux cable and Bluetooth duel input style) it’s hard to go back to other headphones.

[@brandonfrost9801]

Not sure if you mentioned but the Bluetooth version is also bumped up on the 5 to 5.3 from version 5.0 on the 7’s. This is good news for the 5 especially with app support you are getting better stability

Hey! I'm a big fan of your videos, they've really help me a lot. So I have a question, is there a notorious difference between the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 and the Arctis 7P+? I've been having trouble deciding between these two 😫 which ones are better regarding sound and features like bluetooth and/or app control?

[@vemma007]

Would be nice to hear the difference when the mic is in. I have 2019 arctics 9 wireless and i use the mic fully in the cup and it works almost as good as fully extracted.

[@TrekBuilder]

Hey Techne, excellent video as always. Not sure if you pointed this out, but another drawback(correct me if I'm wrong) with the Nova 7's is that you can't load any of the recently added presets via PC to the 7's either. I think that option was only capable with the Nova pro's to the basestation.

[@o0wildy0o]

Even the nova Pros aren't true parametric EQ on console when saved to the dac those profiles are just still graphics Eq they made for the pro with the same names as the sonar parameric Eq for pc, nova 5 and astro a50x at 380£ are only two current headsets I know that can save them, surprised he didn't make a bigger deal about that in this vid. At 130£ it's a no brainer over the nova 7s now

[@fast0025ify]

​@@o0wildy0o Even the Astro a50x can only download parametric EQ presets on PC. If you're only on console you have to use the mobile app. And the app can't download Eq presets. So you have to make your own eq's.

[@peauas]

Hello. I saw the whole review and already. excellent video! I was very interested in the Nova 5, however, I really enjoy playing Rainbow Six Siege and I wanted to hear the footsteps as cleanly as possible. What do you recommend? Nova 5 or 7?

[@clydenavs8498]

I want to know that too

[@jasonrodriguez7242]

Depends if you play on console. I got the 7x for my series x last week. I play a lot of cod but also rpgs, you can only save and apply custom presets on the pc And will not be saved\transferred to console as you have to use gg for it I am going to return the 7x I got for €159 and try out the 5x as it’s better for console. The 5x’s app will be able for you to tweak presets and change sounds like footsteps for console!!! The 7x for me was a bit underwhelming, I’m used to a bit more bass and sound like the Logitech g935 which I previously used. The clamping force was also too loose for my head even on the smallest size. So altogether i’am going to try 5x. Even though it doesn’t have Bluetooth simultaneously I don’t mind it because I only use the headset for gaming and nothing else. Sorry for the long answer but I want to make sure you make the right decision before spending money!

[@peauas]

@@jasonrodriguez7242 Thanks for the answer friend, really. I game on computer and I believe I would go for the Nova 7 due to its steel construction. I'm scared of it breaking if it's made of plastic.

[@DadBodGamingCollectibles]

I recently bought the Nova 7X for my PS5 and love it. I was wondering if the app on PC for it, when making or using the premade or custom profiles, ( per frequency tweak or per game name like Destiny, etc) actually carries over to the headset for consoles? Same question about the new 5X.

[@chencg179]

I used the gg engine on my laptop to EQ them for ps5. Gadgetry tech did a good EQ for these. It just fixed someone of the wonky sound and they sound much better. If you like a clean, natural sound

[@chencg179]

And yes it does save to the headset. I tested by making the worst eq possible then went back to ps5 and safe to say, it works 😂

[@CHICAGOKID-773]

So I just tagged steelseries asking them about if they will develop an app for the Artics nova 7x & they said be on the lookout for extensions of the app in the future! 😁

[@lewis523]

Only reason I'd get nova 5 is the app. But if they are going to allow the nova 7s use the app eventually. No point swapping

[@NotYourAverageBrainDance]

The best EQ preset I found, in my opinion, is "Hunt Showdown." Sounds the best overall.

[@drunksquirrel2051]

Had 7p for a month, sent them back and got nova 5x for PS5 due to the better mic and app support However, I'm not happy with them already and gonna go back to nova 7p because: 1. Headband fits more tight on head and I have a large head, , I get headaches in a hour with nova 5. The all plastic has less clamping vs metal 7 band. 2. Elastic head band is cheaper and doesn't fit as good as nova 7, its too long and allows less adjustments. 3. Ear coverings are cheaper and more rough feeling on skin, not as soft as nova 7 4. App has a hard time connecting to headset if you don't follow exact steps 5. Setting custom eq still requires pc connection, cannot be done on app.

Wonder what they paid him to say 5 better when not close. Simitoneneous versus not is a huge thing. Listen to his ending. He contradicts himself.

[@TheTechne]

I wish!

[@christiantsai1078]

Man I got my 7p last Saturday and I see this 🫠

[@jasonrodriguez7242]

Same man

[@jasonrodriguez7242]

How are experiencing them?

[@christiantsai1078]

@@jasonrodriguez7242 I like the 7p more because the 5p is just better battery,mic and a app that’s most of it and it has same sound sooo yea

[@Bama4life615]

Guess I'm getting the nova 5. I've bought 3 headsets the past 2 weeks watching your videos

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

Still not happy with any of them? I've been trying to decide on one for 2 weeks.

[@Bama4life615]

@NotMorganFreeman. they all are good in their own way actually.

[@sergeeyoo]

same here, i ended up getting the nova 7x but barely found out about these nova 5s😭 i ordered them to comprare soon and ill return one of em once i decide

[@z2jk576]

Which one is better?

[@Bama4life615]

@z2jk576 I think it's hard to go wrong with the nova 5x. They are very good.. I am big on the turtle beach stealth pro right now. Drop also has the PC38X that I would recommend if you like wired.
