Arctis Nova Elite - Obsidian

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

I've had the Arctis Pro Wireless for about 5-6 years, and I love them. I just recently tried a bunch of new headphones as possible upgrades, and I sent them all back for assorted reasons. Here's a summary: Audeze Maxwell 2: I wanted to love these, but there are just too many software issues at this

Its planar magnetic drivers have great detail and clarity. You also get an 80-hour battery life, Bluetooth connectivity (not simultaneous), and AI n

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

Sure, if you play casually and just want decent audio, the Pulse Elites are fine. But since this is a PS5 Pro group, I’m assuming most of you take gaming seriously as casual players usually don’t drop $700 on a console. And if you’re investing that much money in a console for a visual upgrade, it ma

As somebody considering the Nova Elites, I would never go back to Astros for the following reasons: Heavy Swappable batteries I used to have a50 and were great until they weren’t. The battery eventually stopped holding a charge forcing me to always have them plugged in. Also for extended play, they

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
