If this helps, my top 3 headsets are, in no particular order (rankings below), the Astro A50’s, the Audeze Maxwell and the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Elite - with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless right behind ‘em. Here are my breakdowns, as someone that owns all of them (well, minus the Nova Pro Wi

It's basically a cheaper Nova Elite. AFAIK, isn't this the only other headset that supports simultaneous audio output and microphone input via USB? A splitter can't achieve that. It's an awesome feature for anyone who uses multiple systems since you don't have to fiddle with any settings or the dac

Hey. I jumped from the nova pro to the elite. They sound really good. I’ve been impressed. That being said. I got them early October, just after they launched and have already sent them in for warranty because of this weird clicking sound that developed in the left ear cup. I have no idea if it’s on

XS, Ananda, Kithara and Arya Stealth are extremely similar to each other sound wise. None of them are a clear step in any direction. Ananda Nano and Arya Organic can be lumped together in a different category, and XV is an outlier, but again none are a clear upgrade or downgrade from the others. If

Yes although I did have to optimize the mic. If you turn up the gain too high it gets really bad static and tone. You have to keep it at about lvl6 Out of the box a50s have a better built in mic, but the speaker quality on the steel series is not only better inherently, but substantially more optimi

I capture everything (ps5 pro, switch 2, PC) using 3 to 1 hdmi switcher, which then goes to elgato capture card (4kx), then to my monitor (& usb to my stream pc (m4 max MacBook). I use WaveXLR Pro to include my latency free mic… no chatlink cable bs needed. I listen to all of it on wireless headphon

SteelSeries Nova Elite, hands down. I just picked up a pair a few days ago and it is simply great.
