Nova Elite Vs Nova Pro

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

Can we talk about how bad the Steelseries GG software is?

Honestly, I just recently purchased the Arctis Nova Elite and installed GG for the second time on my PC (used them for a bit on previous non-steelseries headset). I have absolutely zero issues with the PC software and iPhone App. No crashes, no weird bugs, boots up on start up, and no device detecti

Purchased my First Astro? Was this a good deal at 30% off?

To be honest it is not a bad headset. That said, there are 2 headsets that I think are a lot better and I own both. I also did own the that Astro Headset at launch for about 2 months and returned it. Personally, I bought it and while it was good it was far from great. The 2 other headsets that I rec

Wireless Audeze Maxwell 2 vs Arctis Nova Pro (One concern - would like opinions on durability)

I have been looking at the Maxwell 2 and the Nova Elite. The first thing I noticed was the warranty. Steel series offer a 2 year warranty whilst Audeze only offer 1. I currently have the white Nova Pro wireless. Which I have had no problems with and still looks like new. We do have a 5 pro, slim and

Astro A50 gen 5 vs Nacon Rig R8 Pro HX Spectre - suspiciously similar headsets

Hello! Well, personally I used the Nova Pro wireless as my main headset for ages. Despite having the A50 gen 4. https://youtu.be/7sLVI2JrooQ Probably order for me personally would be SteelSeries Audeze Astro Nacon. But I'd have to explain why in more depth because there are lots of reasons. Comfort

Sick of replacing headsets every 2 years. Looking for a "Buy It For Life" Wireless Gaming Headset for FPS.

HyperX Cloud III S Wireless would be my pic of this list, although you mention absolute durability and I've seen those leatherette headbands breaking down over time. Personally I would go Steel Series. Replaceable headband, replaceable earpads, and with the Nova Pro, replaceable batteries. I ran my

What’s the best PS5 headset if I play mostly story-driven games?

Audeze Maxwell is probably the best all-round. It is expensive and it has its own set of issues, but Audeze knows how to make headphones and their planar drivers are some of the best. Maxwell 2 is out soon so might want to have an eye on that. I have the Steelseries Arctis Nova Elite and it truly is

To anybody in the same shoes as me!

That would sound good. I hope they keep the money then and just Ship it. If I get the money back, I will know that I am in for the Long Wait. I also got me another Toy, and this one comes it Tomorrow. Right now, I have the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Headset, and it is a Phenomenal Headset
