Thank you so much for covering this! I made a lot of research on the previous Arctis Pro headset but before buying the new series released, thanks for informing me on the new ones as well.

I like this guy. He’s very clear with everything he says. And goes into some details other reviewers don’t. reviews don’t feel paid for. I subbed

The difference in the microphone was quite shocking, to be honest. I had no idea the wired one sounded so much better.

I just bought the wired version and I have zero complaints. The sound is fantastic. I used the custom EQ to adjust the bass like I want it, and I hear every instrument being played. The drums sound great, the bass pops, the highs are crisp. I think they are a great value for the price. As far as the parts made of plastic, I don't mind as it keeps the headset light. I play on PC and I do not see these parts being a problem being made of plastic as you are only using them to set on your head, not dig a ditch with them. Handle them respectfully and don't throw them off your head because you are upset and they should last. I have an ex-large skull when it comes to helmets and hats, they fit very comfortable on my head with no squeezing, or ears touching the inside of the cup. When playing different games, I was amazed at how explosions sound. These headphones made a huge difference in sound effects while keeping the voices and music sounding great. It really added a wonderful difference to my gaming experience I didn't have before. I usually spend around $150.00 for my headphones. The extra I paid for these was well worth it. I love they way music sounds when I am listening my favorite songs. I am a guitar player, so I am picky when it comes to EQ balance. I want to hear every instrument. I am very happy with these head phones and recommend them.

With the amount of cord aggravation I've had over the years, plus the original Arctis being with me the longest of my last few pairs, I'm heavily leaning wireless. Plus I wouldn't miss anything in calls when I need to step away.

The Bluetooth option is amazing. No need yo pick your phone up as you can take the call on your headset. This is what sold me on the arctis pro wireless

It's surprising to me how barely anyone is talking about the mic sound quality between the two. I personally own the arctic 3's and they were amazing for the price. It was comfortable, the mic was great, and pretty good sound. The mic quality to me is very important and listening to the wired vs wireless, the wired is crazy better than the wireless. this and the supposedly better sound quality is what got me to buy the wired headset. I also don't care too much about it being wireless as I prefer better audio and mic quality overall. ANC and transparency mode aren't deal breakers as well since my apartment is fairly quiet. Hopefully, sound isolation is good! Great review as well Techne!

You literally had a video prepped for the questions I had in your reviews. Great comparison, all I needed to know to pull the trigger on the wired version.

Thanks for these videos, I just picked up a wired pair this morning and can’t wait to use them.

Great video! I got my wired pair today and I love them! I couldn't give up the better mic and Hi-Res audio :D

Wireless for that Bluetooth, using KZfaq guides for games I’m playing and taking calls without having to take the headset off is a massive feature for me. I also play on my recliner in my games room so wires are a no go. Shame we have to sacrifice sound quality but hopefully wireless audio gets closer to wired some day soon. I’m also holding out for Astro to drop the gen 5 A50s as currently own the gen 4’s and love them using both Xbox and PS docks but wish they had Bluetooth and better audio over USB.

I recently bought Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wired and I am blown away by the outstanding sound quality! I Had Sony Inzone H9 for some time, but the sound was disappointing. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The Arctis Nova Pro wired are miles better when it comes to the sound quality.

Thank you, your informative and quick to the punch video is what made me decide to go with the wired versions. Not having the features the wireless has does kinda suck but ive never really cared for transparency mode or any of that stuff so the tradeoff for slightly better audio is fine with me!

I currently use the Astro A50 gen 4 on my Xbox series x and I love them but I’m intrigued about this new nova pro wireless I was just checking if this was going to be on one of your upcoming comparison videos??? Love watching your videos keep up the good work👍🏻

The reason the dac is angled like that in the wired version is because more than likely it's going to be on your desk next to you, whereas with the wireless it could be across the room from you. You could have it next to your consoles in an entertainment center while you're gaming on the couch so a straight on viewing angle makes more sense. Probably also why there's no push to mute on the wireless dac. For me, this boils down more to use case than sound quality and features. You know if you really need a wireless headset or not. Like if you game mostly on PC, I don't think you really need a wireless headset, but it would be great in a living room console gaming environment.

Awesome video as always. I'm a huge SS fan so I went ahead and ordered both to replace the previous versions. I'm breaking in the wired version now. The wired version sounds amazing and I'm blown away by the weight. The wireless version is still sitting in the box. I'm thinking I jumped the gun. I use the wired version version for PC and the wireless version for PlayStation. The problem is I also own the Penrose.... What got me interested in the wireless is the ANC. However, Techne review and a few others make it sound like the ANC feature needs some refinements. I always wanted a wireless gaming headset with Sony/Bose level of ANC. I know the leather cups provide good isolation. I've never used the old AirWeave. I use the SS replacement leather cups on all my SS headsets. Anyway, big decision to make when it comes to the wireless version.

One of the best review vids I’ve seen so I had to sub

Hi Techne another great review loved it... To replace my Arctis 9 X I would probably go with the wireless and I would use the features I love the hot swap feature on the battery way way back I had the Triton Warhead 7.1 headset and this has a spare battery that charged in a dock... However one thing stopping me from buying it today is a Audeze Penrose comparison review by yourself... Watch this space...

Would you consider them if you already had the OG Arctic’s wireless? I have them set up on the ps5 through optical out the back of my tv, they work exactly how they use to on my ps4

You never disappoint 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻. I play on Xbox Series & PS4. If I had $350 to drop on a headset I would definitely go w/the wireless. My consoles are set up about 10 ft from where I sit. Having Bluetooth is a must. Answering phone calls and being able to game during Zoom meetings/trainings (when I can have the camera off).

I bought the arctis wireless pro almost 3 years ago for a little over 200 usd while they were on sale direct from steel series. It seems it's time to upgrade them but once the Nova get on one of those crazy discounts.

I’ve watched most of your videos on these headsets and I’m still so indecisive. I would 100% utilize the Bluetooth and probably will be using anc/noise canceling here and there depending on the situation. I won’t say that I’m an audiophile but u kinda made it sound that it’s worth skipping over the Bluetooth feature just for the audio quality. Does the wireless version not have the rumble the wired version have that you described or is it just that the rumble is less. I know you said you don’t like messing around with the software so when you were testing out the headsets did tweaking with the eq and other stuff bring it closer to the wired version or still no contest. There’s so much more I wanna say but right now I’m steering towards the wireless one. Thanks for all these videos. I just wish it was an easier choice.

I ordered the wired version a couple of days ago have yet to receive it thank you very much for your videos helped my decision a lot.

One feature people miss out is the transparency mode. When you play FPS with spatial mode and gain on to listen to people's steps and you turn on transparency mode to talk to someone in the room without pulling your headset off is also a massive plus! You don't yell at them, you don't take your headset off, and you can talk to them and play at the same time.

Thanks for the vid! Super great. I love wireless and I love Steelseries. Had by 7's forever until my pup chewed up the mic and have been constantly researching for a pair that makes me as happy as those. The more I learn about headphones, the more I want good, pure sound with my console games. The Pro seem like the better bet for me, given everything you said. Big question, though: given that GN officially acquired Steelseries, do you expect more headset variations to come out over the next year from them?

can you just use the wireless ones with a wire and still have ajust as good audio as the wired ones? im thinking about upgrading from the Arctis pro + Game Dac (good deal ATM) but my main is pc but would be nice to be able to use with my phone or if i want to use with my laptop. i dont want to lsoe any amount of audio quality no matter how little

Thanks for all your hard work. You are my go to for headphone reviews. I am sure this has been requested, so add my vote to it, but can you do a comparison of the Nova Pro Wireless and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen2 Max? I am looking for a new headset and torn between the 2.

Awesome review man. Youve helped me to make a decision. Subbed :)

I sure love the arctis pro with dac and wireless version and already ordered the nova pro wireless for xbox (still waiting for it to arrive) to just have a single headset for everything instead of changing headsets for every system I use and also to avoid downtime having to charge them with the short cables I have. What interests me would be a comparison between the arctis pro wired with dac and the nova pro wired, to see if there's any substantial upgrade in terms of sound and features, or just keep the arctis pro wired and instead going for a dedicated dac and headphones in the future for wired connections. I mostly play on consoles and move around the house, so wireless with a single device for everything sure comes in handy but definitely using headphones and audio interface on pc is on another level and must say I'm pretty happy with what I have but might consider upgrading in the future and this sure looks interesting. Gonna watch all your comparison vids as usual anyways lol.

for console do you get the same sound benefits with the wired as you do pc? If not then it seems like wireless is the best option. Did you have any issues with the inner ear tab poking your ears with the wireless? I just emailed wicked cushions about making a slightly thicker gel cushion for the nova wireless so that we don't have heat issues from the fake leather pads, but also to minimize issues SOME people are having with the center tab poking their ears. My guess is the headset is a little too tight on their head so it's pressing that plastic into their ears.

I got myself the WIRELESS can't even image how much better teh wired would sound as this is already very very balanced clear detailed refined sound! as an audiophile i hear the limit of wireless but I don't care, it's really good, no distortion, no static, very good for music too (on pc u really need the sonar equalizer set to your preferences which is kinda stinker). I'm so fed up with wires being in my way (more than 3 m from my ps4 and tv!) and I wanted good sound so obvious choice for me. about ANC: i jsut realized how good it is when I wnet outside and the trains were so much "muted" and the busy road was almost gone away! in your room it gives that "tranquillity" by muting the outside traffic noises and the zooming of ventilation and stuff, you still hear high end ticks like typing or people's voices or noises while browsing papers. but traffic and other background noises were (almost)gone which made me feel al lot more zen..

I freaking love the daily uploads! I want to buy a headset myself, but I'm not quite sure which one. I mainly want to use it to listen to music and podcasts, but use it to do some gaming as well. I'm currently deciding between the sony XM4s and the Nova Pro wireless. For the sonys I need to buy a boom mic as well. Can aanybody give me some advice, on which headset I should get (could be a different one as I mentioned as well)? Any help is MUCH appreciated!! :)

Great video very informative thanks for that! I had a question can I use the Xbox wired pair with my pc as well? As in can I connect the doc to my pc and Xbox ?

Thank you so much for you review! This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want to make any compromises on sound quality, I just want to be fully immersed in gaming, no matter what. Again, thanks a lot, man!

great video brotha, I like the way you do your videos and edit. going with wired for sure.

All about the wired basically PC or console; can't you connect 3.5 via the wirless, and therefore obtain that same quality as the wired? Please confirm.

Was wondering how it compares to the penrose? and have you found an upgrade for the ear pads yet like on alot of the others you have reviewed? i usually prefer wireless headsets, haven't been able to find something so great in wired yet that would make me ditch em

How would you compare the nova pro wireless to the kraken v3 pro? I really like the kraken and think they sound pretty good night even say they sound on par or better than the Nova pro too me but not sure, might be the more of a personal preference thing. Just curious on your take

I bought the wireless version for PS5/PC, I purchased them for the sole reason of them being wireless and the fact i had owned the Arctis Pro Wireless previously. I stinkin love these things, I have a pair of sennheiser hd 650's that I used for most everything else, but I haven't picked them back up since owning these. The Nova Pro Wireless really is the whole package. Thank you for another stinkin awesome video bro!

Thanks for your great reviews and comparisons! I got the wireless Arctis 7 for my pc but I went back to console when the Xseries realeased. Now I use my Arctis 7 with a wire and I really miss all that comes with a wireless setup. After seeing your review/comparison I'm not sure anymore. Do you know if the sound in the wired will be better in comparison with the wireless when i connect it to my wireless controller? And can I use the software on xbox? The pricetag is pretty steep for "just" cutting a wire, like you say if the wired had bluetooth I would go with that one without hesitation.

I came across your videos and I’m kind of new to the Gaming world and I want something good right the bat! Thank you for all your points of view.

Thank you for your video! I just wonder can nova pros fits the old arctis series air pad? btw at the end, I probably will buy the wired one.❤❤

From my understanding if you’re a pc user and use any of the sonar features I the steel series app you completely lose the high res audio function on the wired version anyway, even when using special audio the signal is degraded so I went ahead and got the wireless version. Can you confirm this?

I got the wireless version as it ticks so many boxes in one headset; unlimited battery life, can talk on my phone with dual Bluetooth/2.4, can connect my work desktop and personal desktop to it (I do a LOT of zoom/Teams calls for work) and I run a loud fan in my room and man that ANC is a godsend. If I was buying a headset for strictly gaming I’d probably get the wired version though, but as an all-in-one phone/work/play headset? Worth every penny.

Nice set of reviews on this, I've got the wireless one on order to replace an Astro a50 gen 3 that's been on it's way out, but I'm starting to think they'll be going back. Will be interested to see what comes up in the other comparisons!

The sound especially the bass sound wonderful. love it!

Thank you very much for your review. It helped me to make a decision and buy the Nova Pro Wireless. I would like to add my experience with the Nova Pro Wireless. Well, it is a gaming device, but I wanted a headphone which also is good for listening to music. I think, when music sounds good, a game also sounds good. I bought mine Nova Pro Wireless about 2 hours ago and I am currently listening to Ted Nugent`s Stranglehold and wow: That rocks. Before I heard School Days from Stanley Clarke and the baseline of that song is presented just sharp, present and so powerful. WOW. I switched from the Artics 9 wireless, which I had for 4 days this week, coming from a 30 Dollars headphone, which I used for years, now I spent 375 Euros in Germany, but it needed to be. The Arctis 9 Wireless was not so bad but I wanted more punch, more power, more clarity, just a better headphone. And I felt in love with wireless. And I knew that I had to accept some flaws compared to a wired headphone. What I strongly recommend besides all those great rewies - this included - if possible test not only whether the headphone fits to your head, test the sound, listen to your favourite music in the shop if possible. Wait some days, do not buy without testing and listening for yourself. I did not follow my advice, I wanted a new headphone and I wanted it now. :) If I had given me more time and would have looked for opportunities to listen to headphones I am interested in I think that I would have bought another headphone, and mybe I would have spent more money. Neverthelesse the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless delivers a really sharp and powerfull sound, IF the source has the appropriate quality. !!!!!!!!! To my taste it lacks a little of capabilities in the mid and higher range. On the other hand, I still know HOW Stanley Clarke and Ted Nugent sound when delivered through a three channel bass reflex box and I doubt that even a Audeze Penrose can cope with that. Last but not least technically the headphone and the wireless base station work well together and are easily adjustable and controlable. Compared to the Arctis 9 wireless, which is 200 Euros cheaper, I like the Nova Pro Wireless better: It sounds better, has more power, the design is better, functionality is good and control buttons are placed in an ergonomical way. Hope I could give some useful information.

When using my nova pro wireless on xbox I've noticed it won't detect the mic/volume is crazy low. I have to turn off the headset and turn it back on. Does this happen to anyone else? Also Techne, for the price which would you prefer the turtle beach 700 gen 2 max or the nova pro wireless? Not sure if the nova pro is “worth” almost twice as much

I’m a little late on this discussion but I have a question. If you connect the 3.5 into your wireless headset, does the mic quality improve at all? I notice the wired nova pros have a much cleaner overall sound.

Trying to decided between the Corsair Virtous XT or the Steelseries wired novo pros for PC which one would you recommend?

Do the wireless version become as good as the wired one when you plug it in with 3.5?

Great video! Is there a difference in sound and mic quality when you use wire with wireless version? I know it kinda defeats the purpose of the wireless headphones but it would offer more options when using with diffent devices and situations. Thanks.

Just got the wireless one , sound is amazing to me . Better then any razer or logitech i had in the past . And the swappable batteries were the mean reason to buy this one . Good job Steelseries !

I went with wired because I prefer the audio quality. However I´d really, really prefer if there was wired version with ANC. I love ANC on my AirPods pro and considering I have AC on for whole summer, ANC would be appreciated.

Hey I stinkin love your headset reviews, but I always wonder what do you do with all of those headsets

I'm stuck between which one I should get. My only problem I have with the wierd one is that the wier looks a bit short, because I use my cables under my desk and if I take the cable from the wierd headset from the OLED under the desk and out the front towards where I'm sitting it may be too tight

Super helpful video! I just picked up Nova Pro Wireless. It has an option to use the 3.5mm jack. If you do that would that sound as good as the Nova Pro Wired? Thank you!

Thx for the great comparison! Your video is the best one to compare these two versions on KZfaq! Just one more question, if connect the wireless Nova Pro headphones to wired GameDAC gen 2, will it also able to provide great audio? Is the sound quality limitation at the wireless controller box only? Or the drivers from these two versions also contribute to the diff? To hx a lot!! 😂

love the wireless one; one thing i noticed there is constant whistling sound when change EQ to smiles or other preset, but none when using flat EQ

Looking forward to you comparing the new ones over Arctis Pro Wireless and Wired Headsets.

Thank you bro. I really appreciate you being honest. You sold me the wired, and you just saved me a $100 bucks.

Hey Techne I bought the wired version in the orange box. The day has 2 usb to c connections. It's not labeled for Playstation or Xbox what's the difference.?

I purchased the wireless version for flexibility but when gaming on console, I want to have THE best possible sound. Should I connect my headset via 3.5mm to my PS5 controller or purchase a 3.5mm extension cable and connect the headset directly to the base station, which is connected to my PS5? Sorry if this is a stupid question :(.

I have question I purchased the wire version Pc/ ps5. My question do I need to connect my headset to the dac, or I can connect the dav to the ps5, and the headset to the controller that should also work right. Sorry for the dumb question first time buying this type of head set I don’t have a pc.

Does it work natively on xbox like 9x? For someone who doesn't have xbox next to pc. Would you need to carry base station around? Does it work with Xbox receiver on PC like 9x does?

Question, If you make the wireless wired with a cable does the microphone change too?

As someone who already has an option for higher tier sound (Sound blaster GC7 + PC38X) the wireless version is an easy win for me. That higher quality sound is great for sure but there are plenty of games I play that I like to lean back in my chair on while I mindlessly grind and THAT is where a wireless option beats that cable out. I can always just switch back to my wired kit whenever I play something a bit more serious.

I really want to thank you for all your videos, I've been deep diving for a new headset for over 2 hours. I even went as far as buying the wireless nova pros for $349.99 (Xbox version because I wanted compatibility across the board.) I came across this video and and cancelled my order. (If my cancel failed I was going to keep them.) It was fated, as my cancel went through right away and ordered the wired ones. I liked what you said about the noise cancelling nub and about what features you'd would I actually use and that was the nail in the coffin. I also opted for PC version which saved me an additional 13% on amazon. so I paid 217.99 for PC/PS wired version instead of $249.99 Thanks again!

I'm a bass head and someone who enjoys full sound. I can't decide from the Adeze Penrose or the Nova Pro Wireless. Any help or suggestions?

Good video. I have the corsair VIRTUOSO rgb and I'm going to upgrade to the nova pro wired for better sound quality , I game on pc and playstation, should I go with the xbox or normal wired version?

My question is can you hook up the wireless one with a wire and it sounds as good as the wired arctis?

So I recently bought the Nova 7s and had buyers remorse almost instantly. Planning to return and buy some pro's instead but couldn't make my mind up on which... Think I'll get the wired though. As much as I love wireless and Bluetooth, the wired pros just look like a better headset for the money...

Can you mix the wired audio with the bluetooth audio on the wireless ones? I know you can mix the 2.4 Ghz with the bluetooth but I am curious if you can also mix bluetooth with wired. I usually wire my arctis 3 bluetooth to my xbox controller and connect to my laptop or phone via bluetooth so that I can mix audio from discord on my bluetooth device and game audio from my xbox

So I got an important question, Im a pc main gamer but I do own the Xbox series x and ps5 and I want the wired version of the headset but was wondering what’s the difference between the pc + Playstation version and only Xbox version? Like do I buy the Xbox version ? Does the Xbox version support pc fully wired? I don’t understand why they would sell 2 different versions of the headset when the Xbox version can do every system + pc

I never wander from my PC much when I'm in that setting and have no need to stay on the headset when I do wander off and no use for the extra features but for some reason I am still bias to wireless but I think you have convinced me to go wired, its not like I'm really gonna notice the cable, its cheaper and its better mic and sound quality its a win all around really and suits me

What about the person like me that has the last generation wireless? is the new wireless worth the upgrade? Should I just wait till the last generation wireless kicks the bucket? Then buy the new ones?

I just got my wired set today. And I must say they sounds phenomenal. I hate all the cords, but the sound Definitely makes up for it....

can you through the base station adjust the game and chat audio sound while using them on a console ...or only when using them on pc?

Hello, I was wondering of you could help me? I want to buy the wireless version so I can use the headset on the go and the Bluetooth simultaneous etc but I would like to plug them in to have access to the hi res audio... is something like this possible without losing any functionality? I'd be willing to spend a few quid more for a attachment or something to get that to work.

The wired version, do you need to plug it to the gamepad on Xbox or can you connect it directly to Xbox series x? I ask, because I play with a wheel, I can t connect it to the wheel. If I connect it to gamepad, the gamepad will turn off itself when I will be playing.

Is there a way to improve the mic quality in the wireless edition ? will it be the same if wired like the wired version ? does that even work?

I went with the wireless version. I will use all the features. The sound quality is very good as far as I can tell. With a little messing with the eq I got a sound that Im happy with. To me the noise cancellation works pretty well for my situation. I always have an ac running in the computer room and it pretty much cuts it all the way out. With it turned off I can definitely hear the fans from the ac. Mic quality is just ok. Not the best but will work. The nub in the ear cups doesnt bother me any. Doesnt even touch. I will replace the ear pads once they are available. Overall Im happy with my purchase. I dont really think you can go wrong with either one. Main thing for me was getting rid of the cable.

picked up the wired version and I was blown away but I ended up returning them for the wireless version. I have gone full wireless mouse, keyboard, controller and now finally my headset. I don't think I can ever go back to anything that is wired.

Too techne I love your videos man turned me into a headset nerd!! I just picked up the wireless and man I was using beyers dt 700 pro x and for gaming the steel series blew them away try the sonar spatial audio I know you hate but man footsteps are amazing

I have a question. If you plug the wireless with aux chord how does that compare? Because with the Nova 7. The aux chord sounds so much better than using it in wireless mode.

First things first...You got a new subscriber my friend. I was going to stick with the Logitech Pro X's...now I'm looking at these....and even watching your video I'm not sure which I want. I'm honestly just looking for the best headset for my PC (Playing FPS and RPGS)....so hearing footsteps and everything helps as well..You sold me on the wireless ones.

Yo Techne, I loved the video. Do you also plan on reviewing the new Razer Barracuda’s? There are three tiers to the new Razer Barracuda’s and I’m sure many of us would love to hear your input on them

I owned the wireless Novas but after 3-4 hours of gaming they started to hurt on my ears. It’s the tiny mic in the middle of the speakers for the active noise canceling. I could see the red dots in my ears and it looked not good. So I decided to switch over to the wired model.

Is there an option to use the wireless version wired and if so does it sound as good as the wired set? Thanks

Do the wired versions have ANC? I read a lot of conflicting information. I know the wireless does have ANC but do the wired versions?

im looking to get 1 for my ps5. i have been using astro a50 gen 1 since 2011 or 2012 till now and i think its time to upgrade. which one should i go with the wired or Wireless. or should i stick with my gen 1?

When it comes to a gaming headset for me, sound quality is the top priority. Thats why I went with the wired. Even on console the wired sound stinkin 👏 amazing

yep thanks for the straight to the point..just bought the wired ones and after reading more on specs,,,i came to realize there is a lot of differences and was thinking maybe should get the wireless instead...so yes i will keep the wired ones ,,,funny you mentioned racing that is all i do dirt 2.0 to ACC all that..thankfullythere is aEQ and the sonar/ Nahimc has good EQ as well to curb those High's..,,right on cheers mate (im going from a pair of mixing and mastering Sony MDX headphones to the nova pros...lol,,i need my sony's back for my recording studio ..should be quite a difference).

What if you connect the 3.5mm cable on the wireless version, does it change the mic sound anyway????

For Techne or anyone that see this. I have the Penrose X. I have the Nova wireless ordered. Should i cancel. Order the wired version to use on on my desk with my PC and Xbox series S and use the Penrose for my Series X on my 4K tv?

Hello i have One question. If i am sitting on couch far away from tv and playstation 5, and i will not want to get up to playstation to turn on anc and other features that i need from dac, there is no possibility to take dac wirelessly with me and still be connected to ps5?

I just bought the ps5 version but I’m debating on taking them back for the Xbox version because I have both systems but everyone says the dac only goes to 16 instead of 24 when using it on ps5 the Xbox version? I have a good headset for my Xbox and I can use the wire on my wireless headset but can’t use the dac? What should I do?

Will the wired version sound even better connecting an optical audio adapter to it?

Thank you so much I was thinking about getting the wireless but now I’ve seen this video now I’m gonna get the wired
