Review: Comfortable and clear gaming headphones - I am writing this review after an initial 2 weeks. I will come back and update if I have insightful longer term updates to provide. Before jumping into my $.02 I think it's useful to prefix review input with past experiences and what I'm comparing my product against. When thinking about music and overall sound quality, I have Apple AirPod Max's that blow these things out of the water. These can't touch the Max's bass, nor do they sound as smooth and natural out of the box (as everyone has said, these are quite flat out of the box). I also have SennHeiser MB660s that have been my work conference/music-at-the-desk and occasionally my gaming headphones w/o a mic and even they sound far, far better for music and even in some games (assuming OOB setup, not fully configured with Sonar). I am also going to address the lack of ANC outside of the pros/cons list, because I think the use cases of this headset are unique compared to general over the hear headphones. Despite my opinion, I do think it's odd the wireless version of these have ANC and these don't. However, I think if you want pure, fairly competitive or natural and detailed game sound quality above all else, you do not want ANC hissing and adding pressure to your ear. If you haven't owned in or over ear headphones with ANC you might not realize that the constant pressure they create on your ears cancelling out noise will fatigue your ears for long gaming sessions. I also don't think when I need to hear footsteps exactly where they are around me and where they're going in Warzone that I want to try to separate ANC hiss from game noise. I guess this could be easily addressed by putting the feature in the headphones and letting the game profile turn it on off. PROS: - the sound profile is very flat out of the box. I think that opens the most options wit the Sonar EQ software to adjust them to more peoples preferences. - if you read this and are a gamer who plays games that has voice chat, I totally under-estimated and under-valued what the GameDac can do. The GG software splits up game sound, your game mic, and your game chat mix into 3 individual audio streams. The best part of this, is games like Warzone let you split which audio device the game uses for those audio outputs. You can then press the dial on the dac once and adjust the output between chat and game sound. This means I can dynamically adjust hearing my team or the game - if people have low mics, are mumbling, or are obnoxious children blaring music into their mic during the game I can curtail that instantaneously. - despite no ANC the ear cushions do a really good job of blocking out most sound - I think the ear muffs and head band could be more comfortable than my Sennheisers and AirPod Maxes. These things just disappear on my head. I have never gamed more than an hour and a half straight without taking them off, but I thought nothing of them being on my head for that long. - the mic is excellent, especially with the ClearVoice "AI" filter - the game presets are pretty good out of the box. the sound quality and clarity are excellent. despite lacking in music impact, I have to admit these are probably are setup as they should to give the most accurate, clear in game sound. the sound imaging to pinpoint players is spot on, the volume levels are good. I cannot take these more than 75% in war zone without hurting my ears. CONS: - the Sonar software component of the GG suite requires a SteelSeries account to enable. This is totally unacceptable and just shows where SteelSeries is trying to monetize by getting your e-mail address. I have never found an aspect of Sonar that requires SteelSeries knowing who I am or utilizing an account to manage or enable my product. - I don't think if you're an audio snob you'll have a jack of all trades headset. as I mentioned above I have at least 2 over ear headphones that aren't even in the same solar system for music - stop buying the hype about the marginal better sound quality from the DAC. 99/100 normal people with untrained ears with average hearing can't tell the difference between compressed bluetooth audio and lossless wired headphones, all else equal. I bought the wired because I have so many bluetooth or wireless devices in my headset that when I want to game, I do not want interruptions, drop outs, hitches or blips.
Review: Overall a great buy for good quality sound - Great headset and love the GG app very lightweight and comfortable for long gaming session and glad with the gen2 gameDAC they used a normal audio plug so you could use another headset if you wanted to the only complaint I have is the audio cord is rubber coated and you co standby have to disconnect and untwist it, its 2025 im sure there are better options for cord material that dosent twist up all the time. Overall a great buy

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Other than these being wired. Is there any difference in the 349 dollar wireless version**
A: People shouldn't answer if they don't know what they're talking about (just being honest). Anyhow, the Wired version offers true 24 bit 96hz audio via the Quad DAC. It's that little Legendary Sabre which makes the magic happen - not the software or anything else. The analog/wired headset portion is also pretty good too because the 40mm drivers offer audiophile-like range which isn't typical for gaming headsets that tend to focus on bass/mids over fidelity.

The wireless version isn't no slouch either and it has a great amplifier built right into the headset. It has some of the best wireless 16bit/24hz crystal clear, finely tuned gaming audio around. It certainly deserves it's place as their flagship wireless device. Even so, it's not a Bower Wilkins or Bang Olufsen, but close enough for the price. Note: If you're after a less refined, punchy bass, the wireless set might still be the better option.

It's close enough you'll get a similar experience with both the wireless and wired versions on either gaming console. However, switching over to PC (96hz 24bit audio) the wired version begins to pull ahead because it's doing something the wireless can't (processes Hi-res audio).

Of the two I prefer the wired version overall as the biggest step-up from the older Arctis series. In my opinion it's the best audio experience Steel Series offers (I'd rank in this order: Wired Nova Pro > Wired Arctis Pro > Wireless Nova Pro > Arctis 9X ). Another area of improvement is spatial audio; it's not handled any better or differently regardless of model (Nova 3, 7, or Pro), but it is better than the older Arctis lineup.

Just for example: having tried/reviewed both the wireless Arctis Nova Pro and the Arctis 9x, the Nova wasn't really any better sounding as the 40mm drivers are nearly identical, but it has far greater battery capacity and the ability to have two different devices (plus Bluetooth) connected simultaneously. So unlike the 9X, the Wireless Nova Pro can be hooked up to both a Xbox and PlayStation making it the superior wireless option for those with multiple systems (I too hate changing headsets as I switch devices).

**Q: Just bought nova wired pros and the mic is awful on ps5. did i get a faulty unit? cause it picks up every noise  imaginable in the background**
A: I had the same problem on PC the mic according to my friends was worse than a 1$ dollar store mic and the audio would frequently stutter whether it be on 2.4ghz or Bluetooth. Either the mic is absolutely horrendous or a lot of people are getting faulty units. Either way I recommend to not buy this headset

**Q: Is there anyway i can utilize the xbox type c port for my ps5?**
A: No... the DAC has a specific port for Xbox because of how differently the Xbox outputs audio.

**Q: What does the line in port do on the back? i assumed it allows me to plug in an auxillary device like a phone or tv.**
A: You are correct. The line-in aux port is so that you can add another source of audio, like a phone as you mentioned, and be able to listen to it on the headset. Though I'm not too sure about whether it'll work with a TV, but wouldn't hurt to try.

Great headset and love the GG app very lightweight and comfortable for long gaming session and glad with the gen2 gameDAC they used a normal audio plug so you could use another headset if you wanted to the only complaint I have is the audio cord is rubber coated and you co standby have to disconnect and untwist it, its 2025 im sure there are better options for cord material that dosent twist up all the time. Overall a great buy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I thought I was listening to music and gaming...I wasn't
*by C***Y on January 31, 2025*

These headphones sound so incredible and has way more options than I thought I needed. Firstly these fit very comfortable and it is a snug fit to the sides of the head but the strap feels like it is floating above your head. I thought the strap would be weird or uncomfortable but it is not and I am happy with it. I just came from the Corsair Virtuoso Wireless and these are much more comfortable. The head strap on the Corasir was painful after extended use of a few hours so I had to buy a cushion that clips on the band. Back to the Arctis Nova Pro I love the dac and steelseries.gg app. The dac is very high quality and pushes these drivers way farther than I have heard a headset go. If your motherboard is not powerful enough to push high end headphones then this will fix that and push plenty of power to these. The sound quality is crazy and I have been listening to music that I listened to for decades and hear new sounds that I had no idea were there. It separates the l very well even for a closed back headset. I play plenty of Pubg so the footsteps are a must and every other headphones I used were never enough so I had to turn it way too high and add a separate app to push it even further. The clarity of foot steps even in smoke grenades is awesome. You need all sound awareness and direction and I can pin point directional audio with more clarity with these. I have only had them for a few days so I will update after a year or so with further details.
