I’ve had this headset for close to a year now. The absolute best thing about this, is the batteries. You have so much time between the two and your never caught with low batteries. Also helps not kill your roller so fast. Sound quality is great too. I just wish it was a bit cheaper.

I agree 100%, the swappable batteries is amazing because when one dies you can swap the other in in a matter of seconds! I do agree as well that they should be cheaper, and probably aren't worth it full price. Glad to hear you enjoy it!

Had mine for two years now, and my right ear shell has a crack. Not quite sure when it started, but it's gotten big now. Also saw some reddit posts and searches with similar cracks at the same area . No part replacement from steel series either, and support will just redirect you to look for a local head phone repair shop. Just something to be aware of.

My HyperX Cloud II just was full of static with and without mic after several years. I rebuilt it once which involved desoldering, resurfacing, repainting, replacing the headband & ear cushions. It did last a few more years so the $13 I spent was worth it. The main complaint of the Cloud II was the low volume of the mic even after flashing the eprom chip. Now I'm considering the Arctis Nova Pro which brought me here. Thank you for the wonderful video. It cleared up a lot of questions for me.

Earned my like and subscribed, I am hoping you can review more headphones. I really loved how you covered every aspect and actually listed cons. :). I do agree about the price. The amazing next-gen tech in the headphones themselves are great, but build quality seems like it could be better and the comfortability issue exists. At most, this should be around $250-300 IMO. If they keep the price, we should get some better cushions or much better material IMO. This is on my list as I'm planning to get new headphones, but Idk if it's worth the price. Seems great but idk.

Really solid video! Ive had mine for a few months now and love them to death. I didnt think the defaut pads were uncomfortable tbh but i did opt in for the wicked cushions upgrades to get a more customized look. It also took me 15 minutes to figure out how to get them on even with a tutorial haha! I dont have any bluetooth issues with my samsung s21 ultra and my pc/ps5. Otherwise, great video man you earned a like and subscription. Stellar quality and no bs.

After swapping to thicker cushions to not feel the ANC nub. I love being able to take a phone call, and play my games at the same time. Very well made, and other than a feel small glitches that rarely happen. It can all be fixed by updating or taking out the battery and popping it back in. Hands down my favorite headset I've ever owned. I never messed around with any of the complex settings, but I never felt like I had to. If you plan on getting these, definitely check out aftermarket cushions for the best comfort.

I've had mine for just about a year new DAILY use for everything, I've seen a little battery life loss but 15+ hours is more than enough for 2 day use before changing batterys thats also 8+ hrs a day for the moment and I've loved the quick swap. The 3.5 aux mode works amazingly for just sitting and I've done all the firmware updates. Audio is still crisp and I love the DAC and audio software its intuitive and easy to use. Probably the last headset I'll ever own or look to own.

I just want to say I’ve had this headset for a little bit over a year and I have no complaints other than the ear cushions needing to be replace about every 6 months with constant every day use. The features on this headset along with the comfort and durability easily makes this the best headset out right now. If you can afford it and are considering it I’d say definitely go for it. The hot swappable batteries are very useful too so you can have full batteries in just a few seconds. If you can’t change your battery because you don’t have the dac with you wherever you went it also has a charging cable just in case. He already explained most of it but I just want to emphasize how good this headset is. I will definitely get future steelseries headsets if they keep this quality up. If you don’t like the ear cushions it comes with wicked cushion makes a variety of them in different sizes, materials, colors, designs and thickness. I use this headset for basically everything I’d use a headset with. They also fit perfectly over the meta quest 2 vr headset for any of you guys who use it. Although the headset does have a bit of weight the headband makes it feel like there’s almost no weight being pushed onto your head and they will continue to stay comfortable for as long as you are wearing them. Despite the leather ear pads they don’t get that hot at least for me. Hope this helps a little for anyone considering this headset. Just make sure to get the Xbox version as that’s the only one that works on all platforms.

Hmmm that's a good question! While I would say that they're both comfortable, I think I would have to give a slight edge to the Cloud 2s. They seemed to fit to my head a slight bit better, and the ear cups had a bit more ear room. However, I would still say the arctis nova pros are really comfortable as well, and I've been able to wear them for long periods of time with no discomfort, just like the cloud 2s. Hopefully this helps!

@@MethodBearTV it's mostly just a hard process because you have to first get the original cups off (they suggested a butter knife which you have to be careful because I ended up scratching mine a little) then you have to clip the new pads onto the small clips. It's not an impossible task, but it will definitely take a minute to do, although maybe I just had a hard time with it? You can check out the wicked cushions walkthrough video to get an idea of what it entails, I think it's definitely worth the time it takes to get them on as they enhance the quality of the headset!

First off I have watched several vids on this headset from well known creators and none of them were close to as good as your vid. Keep up the good work and I think your channel will blow up. I subscribed. I do have a question that I haven't been able to find the answer to: I recently bought the Strix Scar 18' 2023 (the big dog flagship) laptop and need a good gaming headset, wireless. The last thing I want to do with a laptop is have to plug something in to it like this base station thing. In your honest opinion, do you really use it for your PC (console doesn't apply)? I have read that you don't need to use it as the headset comes with a pretty good app and so forth. Thanks for any info.

Wow, thank you forvthe kind words first of all, it means a lot! I use this headset for work everyday plugged into my PC. While you technically could connect to the laptop via Bluetooth or wired for the headset, I think that the only way to take advantage of the software (the sonar software to customize audio) is to use it either plugged in or with the base station plugged in. IMO, the base doesn't really interfere with anything and just sits out of the way. I basically plug it in and leave it on the side unless I need to adjust the volume quickly. Hopefully this helps, but let me know if you still have questions! Thanks for subbing!

I'm in love with the headset, I had a razer black shark pro and I've been debating with myself whether to get them for years. Now that I have them I have zero regrets, the wireless sound would cut out if I went to the kitchen or bathroom and with these it doesn't, they provide you with two batteries so you never have to recharge, and I can be connected to my phone and so I can hear notifications and even keep using them to listen to music and make calls whilst not using my PC and people can actually hear me well because I have a standup mic and always threw the mics on headsets away but with this it's retractable so I can keep it. And the sound quality and customisation is incredible I don't use my Sony headset at home anymore it's great.

I had the Arctis Pro Wireless headsets for a long time, and when it came time to get a new headset, I was pleased this model was an upgrade. I wanted a premium wireless headset that was all about the audio, and the Arctis Pro was the best of the best without spending $800+ on headphones and another fair bit on a DAC. The original had vastly superior sound isolation and neutral tone, but the Nova is lighter and has much better aftermarket support. Definitely recommend the Wicked Cushions gel cups, they make a world of difference for long play sessions. The mic on the Nova is superior, its more comfortable, but the audio isolation and tuning of the drivers will take some time to get right. Still, 100% worth it.

For instance the mic is not retractable as I do like to just wear my headset without the risk of knocking the mic, and it looks like there is no mute button. There is also no game/chat splitter from what I can see as I play with a mate that has a rather loud household and sometimes I have to dial down the chat volume.

Great little review :), loved it. I have also heard the mic quality is another big issue with the whole arctis lineup in general, since for the price it’s really bad, however not an issue if you of course use a dedicated mic which most people don’t though. I tried out my run with the novas with the nova 3’s ~ they were “okay” below my expectations and the software sucked in my opinion, since you have to select sonar to get the full functionality and it can be finicky a lot of times since it installs a whole other speaker input and output and for some reason I always heard a little static, probably just my unit maybe. Since that day I have never even considered going back to them. Each to their own, as you love your pair, I just had a bad experience with the nova 3’s and it put me off them since.

I JUST returned the nova pros, i bought them along side the TB Stealth Pros to do an elimination style comparison. The quality of the music is much fuller on the Stealth Pros, which i was much more satisfied with than the higher frequency range tuning that the nova has. I spent a couple hours listening to different genres too and the Stealth pros just obliterate the novas 40mm drivers. I have to say though, the nova pros build is probably the most ergonomic and comfortable on the head but feels extremely cheap tbh. The bells and whistles are packed for PC, but considering that i’m PS5 player it really made no sense to go with Sonar. Stealth pros have a unique function that some people think is a gimmick, it’s called super human hearing and at first i thought what possibly could this do that the novas can’t, and i was woefully surprised. Superhuman hearing.. “it just works” as Todd Howard would say, and i can hear “16 times the detail” as the nova pros when it comes to footstep tracking, it’s like being superman in an FPS game. Really helps for chaotic games like BF2042 or COD, but i’m sure any game can benefit from it. I’m happy with my new headset and honestly you can’t go wrong with either! great video btw, subscribed!

The only reason why steelseries is able to maintain their spot in the industry is solely due to pioneering their tech before the market saturation thus creating the golden standard, consumer loyalty via product familiarity, and a robust marketing campaign across all generations of hardware that boast as the best headset of all time.

Great cover. I've had these headsets for about a year and a half and they are rock solid. Abraham Lincoln was right, I suppose; got what I paid for. I also run the Steel series Arctis Pro Wireless (the previous version before ehte Nova) and, honestly, I would have bought a second set of those when I got the Novas but the older set was actually a higher price when I made the purchase. I like the Novas a lot but still find favor in the older Wireless Pros and that is mainly due to things you pointed out. 1-The earcups don't cut it. It is a must-upgrade. 2- The mic absolutely would benefit if it had a way to pull out easier (older version has a very convenient way to handle it). 3- The button layout on the older version just feels better thought out. 4- I, personally, have had zero issues with the Bluetooth function. It works like a dream. All in all, the sound is terrific and the mic is probably one of the best (from what those listening to me say). It is worth noting the button volume wheel actually has a feature to push inon the button itself. Indenting it allows you to access your dock without getting up. The batteries are great and last long but, again, compared to the older version, seems to have taken a step back because on the older version, the ability to charge the battery that is INSIDE your headset is easy to access. On this new version, you have to remove the magnetic coupler to charge it. Not a huge deal because you can always hot-swap them but it is a nice feature they could have left alone. Overall, Steel series has the hands-down best setup in this area. You never have to worry about battery issues like with some headsets. These things are expensive but when you use headsets a lot, I think worth it. I compared them to the older version a lot and it likely sounds like I am complaining a bit but I listed this info to let others know, IF you find the older Wireless Pro version at a cheaper price, I think they are more than acceptable alternative to the Novas. You won't go wrong either way; they are both great but if you find the older versions for $75-$100 less, don't even sweat it. You won't regret it.

Absolutely fantastic. It's the reason I bought them as well. One headset to rule them all

They can be charged via USB-C if you're traveling and can't/don't have a place to plug the dock in. Even then, between the two batteries(if they're fully charged) you should be able to get 40-ish hours out of them. I would say this headset works great standalone, whether it's being used with Bluetooth or if it's just plugged in via a cable, the sound quality is just as good as when using the dock! Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions!

I just got these but preowned for 150 and so far they are nice. The battery is really long lasting, I just wish the ear cushions were a bit bigger for my big ears but maybe I can buy some bigger 3rd party ones? Eq is really neat, they’re light but I’m getting a small popping noise at times probably because they’re used already

I bought this headset about 11 months ago I had the same requirements for the need to use this on my pc and Xbox while I must agree this hurt my wallet but love this headset I have been using SteelSeries products for awhile now I love the quality of all their products and I also daily the headset

Glad to hear you enjoy it as well! This is my first steelseries product, but if this headset is any indication of their other products I would assume they're all really good quality!

idk if they fixed the problem but I've owned multiple pairs of steelseries headset with this same design and they all break in the same spot after a couple years. Tried being super delicate with them and the cheap plastic piece that connects the ear cups to the headband still managed to break. Ended up going with astro a50's being they are damn near indestructible. " I still hate the astro a 50's but atleast the ear cups dont fall off."

@@jesterthelegend926 yikes, I can see exactly what you're talking about, the connection point between the cups and the band does seem a little slim. I try to be careful with them, hopefully it will last a while!

@@patmgroyngaming Yeah how is the build quality around the hinges? I'm sure they upgraded the plastic around them in some way bc the arctis pros have the worst build quality I've ever seen on headphones. There are countless reddit posts and youtube videos addressing the problem yet they still sell them to this day with the same problem. It's the only reason I refuse to ever buy their products. Bc these are so new I can't find anything about it. I think i'll wait a year or so for people to figure out the faults of these headphones before I ever consider buying another product from them. It would be insane if they didn't address this problem in their newest products.

I got these about a month ago and I too got them around $230. I found mine on the Amazon warehouses deals and I was super nervous they we going to come with a bunch of scratches or missing parts (since these are Amazon returned items) but honestly it came in looking like it was opened and then put back in the box and sent back. They also said this item DID have a 30 return window. I heard about the ear pad issues but I have baby ears, so unless you have large ears, I'd only buy the replacement pads after you try them on.

That is certainly a bold move, I don't know if I would be brave enough to order this refurbished, lol. I think that even if you have small ears, the new ear pads are really comfortable! Hope you enjoy them!

mine will arrive tomorrow, paid 269 euro's (290,63 Dollars) :) been looking up reviews after the fact i bought them :D was already convinced so i found your 11 month video also, for me i have been using hyperX cloud 2's also, but they just break to quickly especially the little usb in between connection that goes into the pc usb port. For awhile i have been using a headset that is specifically for mobile phone the Sony WH-1000XM2 wireless, but to be honest despite i got some possitional awareness in games by using pc, sony dolby access app, its still not a gamer headset, my sony was slowly dying, so yes, i also bit the bullet and bought this headset as i seen that still in 2024 its the top notch of gaming headsets. thanks for your video!

I've also noticed with the headset if you have an unstable internet connection , using the 2.4ghz connection causes it to lag very badly. After upgrading to fibre I had absolutely no problems using this headset.

That could be a potential downside of getting a wireless headset over a wired version for sure. I don't think I've had this issue happen to me, but I'm glad that you got the problem resolved and are enjoying the headset!

I have the nova 7, it also has dual audio from 2.4 and Bluetooth. I sold my Xbox because I didn’t use it so needed this one but there is the nova 7x and it sounds great
@patmgroyngaming
@patmgroyngaming 11 ай бұрын
From what I've seen online, I think that the 7X just seems like it might have lower quality. Another commenter also said that the range on the Nova Pro Wireless was better than the 7X. I'm sure it's still a good headset though!

I've heard a few other people say they have those as well! The glasses feature sounds nice, sometimes some headphones don't play nice with headphones. Can't go wrong with some nice thick ear pads as well!
