SteelSeries - Arctis Nova Pro Wired Over-The-Ear Multi Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, PS4, Switch - Black

I had high hopes for these headphones, the reviews everywhere were off the charts. Sadly the reality for me, was far from good. Needing an app for these things to work is just a nightmare. As soon as the software was installed it trashed my system to the point that I couldn't load anything, games, google chrome, Steam. It required constant restarts every few minutes. It was so bad in fact, I had to re install windows 11. Why all these things always need an app to function is insane. They should just plug in with all the 3D audio effects ready to go in my opinion. On top of that the microphone never functioned and never even appeared in any windows or Steele Series software. Pluses...They did sound great, lots of power and were comfortable for the time I wore them. Steele Series support were helpful and ran through some stuff for me to try which I did and then didn't work. I asked for a refund and all due respect to them they provided an RMA and I sent it off yesterday. In fairness I have a friend who has them and he loves them and has had no issues, but for me they were literally a disaster area so I'm really disappointed. :( I'd recommend they stop the use of these useless apps and have it built in so you can plug and play. I can only imagine they've not thoroughly tested the software. I've tried to make this as fair as I can and reported on what I had. I really need some new headphones and was so looking forward to having these things.

Small issue with popping audio in some games but this is infrequent enough not to bother me (would appreciate a fix). Bought these to replace the steelseries arctis pro's that I had for 6 years until they snapped, sound is better as well as the build quality. Recommended.

I recently purchased this headset after upgrading to a pc from an Xbox and it's by far the best headset I've ever owned, being able to customise the sound settings for individual game is one of the best features I've seen.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is an exceptional headset that blends premium sound quality, cutting-edge features, and unparalleled comfort into a single, forward-thinking design. With its powerful Hi-Res audio drivers and immersive 360° spatial sound, it delivers a truly rich and detailed listening experience for both gaming and everyday use. Its standout dual-battery system ensures uninterrupted wireless performance, while the intuitive base station offers effortless control and multi-platform switching. Active noise cancellation, ClearCast AI-enhanced mic clarity, and full customization via SteelSeries Sonar software round out a headset that doesn't just meet expectations, it redefines them.

Great headset
