Looking for best headset for ps5 pro
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

Arctis Nova Pro Omni Just Dropped – Thoughts?
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

Nova Elite or Maxwell 2?
I’m sorry that you were experiencing that with the Nova Pro. I’ve had mine since launch and they were absolutely fantastic. I made the jump to the Nova Elite when those dropped and I love them even more. Unfortunately due to being an early adopter for everything, I learned that they had an app conne

Price is no concern - best wireless headset for the series x
Note: I know you’re requesting this for Xbox. I’m a PS5 and PC guy, But…all of these headsets work for Xbox equally as well! All headsets that I recommend below work on everything - with the exception of the Audeze Maxwells. For those, you’ll just need to make sure to get the Xbox version. 😬 If this

Best USB mic and headphones?
I am using Blue Yeti X microphone, if you like wireless, SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite is good choice, sound quality can try the Audeze Maxwell 2.

Just got these anything I should know
$200 is def not too bad. I picked up the Nova Elites and they’re great. But been getting hell over them bc I paid $600 for these lol. But I game, a lot, and these are newest top line ones. Carbon fiber drivers and copper or brass surrounds. Etc. and I’d say if you like them they’re worth it. Just li

Which headset to buy?
I personally use the SteelSeries Wireless Arctis Nova Elite. They are an AMAZING Pare of Headset, but they are Pricey. They are $600 Dollars before Taxes and add taxed to that. easily another 50$ I've had mine for a while and love them. Especially because you can have up to 4 different sounds open.

Audeze Maxwell 2, a swing and a miss unfortunately.
Well, then they need to take a look at what Steelseries does because they have been offering simultaneous Audio and BT since the Arctis series started. In fact the Nova Elite does 3 Audio and one BT simultaneously. It's something that I can't live without at least.

Headset Recommendations
The A50 X is generally a great headset, but for capture purposes you're going to run into issues with it capturing voice chat with it. Typically that can be setup to send game audio over HDMI for higher bit depth than the usual USB connections, so you can put it on the HDMI OUT of your capture card

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
