The ability to customise audio from your friends on Discord
A really comfortable fit all day long

Swappable batteries mean you never have to plug it in
Lowlights:
As standard it picks up a lot of background noise via the mic
Compressed mic sound
Horrible sound when going too far from the base station
Expensive

Gaming Wireless Low Latency 2.4 GHz
Dual Connection Simultaneous 2.4 Ghz & BT
Wireless Range 40 ft / 12m (2.4 GHz)
The Astro A50 is expensive and better in some ways, worse in others.
Here's the reasons why:
1 - Its comfort is unbeaten in my opinion
2 - The charging base station is super convenient and I very rarely need to plug it in
3 - The sound is great for gaming, music, movies or anything else
4 - It has a decent mic (not the best, but not awful either)
5 - It allows me to mic monitor my external mic setup via my GoXLR (very few wireless headsets allow this)
That's the highlights, the lowlights are:
- It doesn't have Bluetooth like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
- It doesn't have user replaceable batteries (unless you can solder)
- The headband gets worn out over time
- The design is quite flimsy considering what you're paying
- There's no high res audio (like with the Audeze Mobius)

Great video. I’ve been using the pro wireless for years… on my second pair and they have also broken. The build quality is shocking, so looking to upgrade. Very sad to see they removed the optical pass through and maybe the build quality might introduce the same weakness in the hinge. I’m tired of replacing every couple of years at £250-£300 each time. The a50 looks like the perfect candidate but no Bluetooth!! 😭😭😭

I'm still captivated by the Astros A50, which features a forward-looking capability to detect when the headphones are set down and responds by powering on or off in response to motion. It seems that, among the current crop of headsets, the Astros A50 stands alone in offering such a feature. Consequently, this smart technology ensures that the battery never truly runs out, as it automatically turns off within 20 seconds of no activity. However, I must admit that I also appreciate the Steel Series with its impressive 18-22 hours of battery life, which eliminates the need for battery replacements.

Hello Mr.Prawn, i really hope you get back to me on this one. So i currently have the astro a40's gen 4 with the mixamp and the ps5 adapter with the mod kit and don't get me wrong i love them but i plan on buyin a 1440p monitor next year and i don't know if the ps5 adapter will support 1440p 60 or 120. So that is why i am now looking to buy the nova pros. My question is, which one would you recommend considering i will only use them on ps5. Would you recommend the nova pro wired or wireless?

I think the mic, build quality, sound, and swapable battery feature are all the best parts of the arctis nova pro. He didnt go super deep in detail about it in this video but the nova pro also has a large amount of extra settings on pc with the steelseries gg app which I think makes it the better pick for pc.

Only thing I don't like is that the top soft support kept falling off. I returned them, and went to pick new ones at the store. Looks like shipping people are careless and throw them around. this new one is working fine now so far.

Hey there just found your channel doing a little research on gaming headsets, and a reply from you or anybody would really help my decision, but i had the razer kraken v3 hypersense wired headphones for a little over a year, and i got a little annoyed of the wired connection, and wanted to upgrade to a better headset, considering razers reputation, the horrible synapse software, and i felt like if i spent some more money, i could really get the gaming, experience/immersion i want, or i guess bang for my buck lmao, and I've came down to these 2 headsets, I've already bought the a50s, and im mainly a pc gamer, but i do also have a ps5, for games like god of war, after looking at the steel series headset, it looks like a way better upgrade than the a50s, as I'm looking for headphones with surround sound, decent/deep bass for when i listen to music, and being able to hear footsteps easily and far away, for that competitive advantage, plus the noise cancelling would be fantastic, as with the a50s even with the mic muted i can still hear my fan on the other side of the room lol, with my razer headphones, it's a lot more noise "cancelling" just going from the kraken v3 to the a50s was a very nice and noticeable improvement, with audio quality, besides them being very quiet compared to the "voice" audio, but i still use "game" with the dolby access app, so i can have crisp surround sound, but the steel series has way more features for about the same price, without having to buy a separate "hdmi adapter" lmao, plus ive seen really good reviews about the surround sound on the steel series, anyway an opinion, or recommendation, on the matter would be appreciated, as i think i should return the a50s and get the steel series, with all those added features.

Just ordered the Nova Pro and am returning it for A50s instead. I LOVE my A40s so I should've known better. I can't deal with closed back headphones anymore for gaming. It's a shame because if the Novas were open back, I'm 99% sure it would sound better than the Astros. Soundstage performance is too important for me now. The A40s spoiled me with that. Can't go back to closed anymore.

No more SPDIF output and this is clearly a stepback compare to old version caused by Sony and Microsoft. They removed SPDIF port on console. They added Tempest 3d audio / 360 audio which try to make cheap headset sound decent but it clearly cut the quality of high-end audio device. They also decided to not implement display port which results in having to chose between sound quality with audio extractor(currently there's no audio extractor supporting hdmi 2.1 on the market) or image quality (4k 120hz supported via hdmi 2.1). This can be explain by the fact that Sony is a brand of television and television already got SPDIF port on them. Headset constructor decided to invest on something that will be cross platform. At least, Xbox support USB UAC2 which makes Astro mix amp and others amp/dac to work. Sony is still using UAC1 and almost none of the amp/dac supports it anymore. In my point of view, the current gen console is a shame. This is caused by old school company wanting to keep the market for themselves. Another thing tha proves my point is that the PS5 still doesn't support 2k native resolution.

@@TheProvokedPrawn but you have failed to mention the many downsides of the new nova over the original wireless Pro. Example the lack of optical port. Optical sound is better then USB sound. Because of the optical port on the steelseries arctis pro wireless and wired. They offer dolby and dts surround sound on both console and pc. The new nova only offers its surround sound audio through pc. On console your now forced to use the default sound they provide. So on playstation 5 it's 3d audio. Which is not great for all games. Ps4 you will only get stereo sound. Because they don't have the 3d tempest engine. X box. You can get dolby through the USB because Microsoft have paid for a license from dolby to allow them to option access it through USB. In any case its not of the same quality as optical sound.

I own A40s and just bought the Nova Pros. I'm returning the Nova Pros and will go with A50s. I should've never considered anything else. My issue is, I HATE poor soundstage performance. I had forgotten how much I dislike closed back headphones. I really don't why people like closed back sound. Sure, it's great if you are surrounded by noise... but on a couch or desk at home situation, open ear sound is just so much better. I want the sound to feel like it surrounds me, not like it's coming from inside my head. The other issue is that I have a bigger, wider head. The Nova Pros clamp too hard on me. Very uncomfortable and the faux leather cups get uncomfortably warm. It's not breathable whatsoever.

Surely you can buy replacements

@@TheProvokedPrawn You can. They are about $30 AUD a battery, if you can find one. But my concern is with them lasting just less then a year, I don't want to keep forking out say $60 AUD every 10-12 months just to keep it running 🤣. The headset was like $549 AUD.

@@BobsBrotherSteven they sell the batteries in pairs, at least in europe they do, also if you just send them a polite email they maybe just ship you some for free, they did that for me recently

Why does every reviewer have a decent mic at a decent distance from his mouth but i need to put it practically in my mouth so people can hear me... (nova pro)

And yes the mic settings are in everyway on max. On the GG app and my ps5 and the hub on my desk whatever you call it

i have to Disagree with the Comfort. The comfort of the Arctis Nova Pro is disgusting, i have very big ears and the headset is soo clampy that the microphones inside for the ANC hurts my ears and that sucks

nova pro piss all over astro hands down…astro have always felt like cheap gaming head sets and look tacky, but some people like the gaming style with race chairs 😂…the nova pro look and feel like a premium all round headphones…

Trouble with the Nova wireless is the buzzing/interference you get when using Bluetooth with ANC on - damn annoying - I mean ANC is supposed to get rid of noise not add it. I could live with ANC off but the audio quality is richer with it on. Returning mine. Dag nab it!
