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 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

Is the Arctis Pro Wireless worth it in 2026?
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

What are the best wireless gaming headsets people actually stick with?
I use the Steel Series Arctis Nova Pros. Sound quality is excellent, the mic sounds good, and it comes with some pretty easy-to-understand software. I have a large head and ears, and I have no complaints about the fit. Edit: I tried the Arctis Nova Elites. Although they're outside of your budget, I

Used the A50X for 6 months. Nova Pro Wireless just arrived (first impressions)
Would love to try the Arctis Nova Elites but regrettably Steel Series/Amazon doesn't ship them to Puerto Rico and they are not available in Best Buy.

Nova Elite without Sonar
i use mine without sonar. the dac has a built in 10 band eq you can tweak right on the base station - it saves to the headset. for spatial sound, dolby atmos works great and gives you a license when you register the headset. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite performs the same without sonar, you just los

I feel mislead.
You can fix it, kinda, just by turning off hands-free in your PC settings, but it would be better just to buy a standalone mic with this headset. If you wanted it all in one package you should’ve spent the extra hundred dollars on the steel series nova elite

Arctis Nova Elite
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

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
