That mic sounds significantly better than previous iterations.
On par with hs80 and black shark v2 2023
Does the mic on the 5p/5x have Ai powered noise cancelation like the 7p? That is my main concern as people all tell me that they can hear my air conditioner in the background on my current headset.
@djstutterchicago87 It doesn't, but if you pair it with steelseries gg sonar, it will solve your problem
Thanks again like always first channel I look into for headset reviews!
Oh shit that mic actually sounds pretty good. About time.
Agreed, that sounds way better, I wish it had simultaneous Bluetooth audio!
Hey dude! As always an amazing and detailed video! I just picked mine up today and I'm so excited to get them home.Gotta work a night shift fist and then it's on! Just wanted to let you know that there was an update for Engine and it all seems to be working fine now. I hope it works for you and everyone else. Keep being awesome and have a good one!
The mic on the Arctis Nova 5's the best one SteelSeries has ever done for a headset. They must've learned a lot after making the Alias standalone mics.
great review especially on the mic part. I still feel like it's far behind the nova series and higher end razer headsets, but those are more costly. The mic sound really staticky with lots of pops.
Thank you for the detailed review! I was on the fence of buying as its slightly expensive (a bit over my budget), but the mic test part convinced me to get this model. Just ordered mine and can't wait to use them 😁
nice to see SS upgrade the from that 2 cups with a string in the middle microphone they was using before
Hopefully there’s a way to allow sonar presets for the other novas. I use gg on my laptop for my nova 7’s. My favourite headset thanks to ur videos. And that’s coming from the old Arctis pros. Just not sure if they made these presets for the 5’s only
Gonna grab myself a pair of these I think. 🤔 Need a replacement for my 5 year old Turtle Beaches. 😅
Great review. Nice detail. 💯
Now which is better nova 7 or these cheaper nova 5? .. because some people will go for the best and greatest at a higher price
I have the Arctis 7X , same dongle that lets you flip a switch, great for all platforms. If my 7X ever stops working I will replace it with this !
Great! I was just looking for a new headset. I have used blackshark for 4 years now
Thank u for the review, thumb up👍
I also have the GG software fatal error message. sad face. but this video was rad as always thanks techne!!
How does it compare to the nova 7? I just bought them 2 months ago
The mic sounds so good but what’s killing it is it picks up too much background noise. Can’t wait to see how the mic sounds on the Atlas Air! That’s what I’m going for
I also want to know how it compares to the 7x. I bought them a couple months ago and it’s probably my favorite headset. Is this one better?
Ima buy these on Friday and I got the 7x, I'll lyk how I like them too, rn my 7x echo alot so I can't use that mic with friends
I have the 7x and just ordered the 5X
@@iamTruthifyupdate?
@javviii mic is definitely better and since you can mess with the mic on the app it's even easier, no issues for me
Nice. They did a good job here. Can’t wait for the Atlas Air though 😅.
does this work on the older headphones? like the nova pro?
Ok bro I’m gonna trust you.. I’ve been looking for a headset for the last few years and have been so overwhelmed with options that I couldn’t choose one ha. This seems like an ok price and a quality wireless option. Hope these work out 🤞🏻. I bought my keyboard because of you and I LOVE it. Hopefully this will make it 2/2 ha
Update* Absolutely loving them so far. Had a blast playing XDefiant last night with them. Very happy with my purchase so far. Appreciate this review man
I have the arctis 7x+ looking to switch to the nova 5 . Is it worth it?
that mic sound actually pretty good im surprised
How does the quality of sound of this compare to the H6 Pros? I've got both open and closed back version... been wanting to switch to wireless headset but it either is way too expensive or sacrifice too much on the sound quality
Random question, but I think you have said you play Diablo 4. Do you have a preferred mouse for it? I normally use my GPX2, but I think I need an ergo shape with how much clicking I do and something with quieter switches.
I do play fair bit of diablo, and last epohc, but I always use controller. But I did try them with some mice, and I really enjoyed it with the SS Aerox 5, gave me a few extra buttons for abilities but nothing overboard
Thank you Techne 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻
I use the Nova 7X. Did the whole Nova line-up get the update to use the phone app?
No, only this cause it has a new chip in it
no, but I hope they make an update too them all. But will more than likely be just for future releases
Hopefully should I upgrade from the 7p to 5 ?
I plan on holding out until they make the changes in Nova 7s. I use the simultaneous Bluetooth function a lot. Being able to game while sitting through those zoom trainings is a lifesaver 😂
Techne you're looking really healthy!
Great video, as always too 👍
Thanks a bunch man 👍
This or the new black sharks for console ?
Would be cool to have an app for the Nova Pro Wireless. I play on PS5 & it would be a bit more convenient to scroll through presets on my phone than plug into my Mac or play around with the DAC IMOP.
Thank you for your awesome review. How would you rank it against the 7x? Also I hope to hear your review on the upcoming Turtle Beach 600 Gen 3 headset.
Same!! I am either getting this or turtle beach stealth 600 gen 3, but am waiting for reviews on that
Hi I wouldn't get these I would get the flagship nova pro wireless I just picked up the new white ones and I'm sure not downgrading to get these the only thing good about these they have alot of presets but so does the nova pro wireless but if you don't have money then get the nova 5 if you can afford the nova pro wireless get those the white edition there awesome stay safe and happy gaming to all
@@BanTaaaxTechne did a review on the turtle beach 600 3 and said the clamping force was to tight and uncomfortable. Just go with the steelseries. It's a better all around headset.
Thanks for the Review. Pulse Elite or this one ?
This is exactly what I'm asking myself right now. I don't even do gaming that much and mostly need a wireless headset for working from home. These "corporate MS Teams certified" headsets are pretty expensive, not really comfortable (I need over-ears) and mostly use Bluetooth. Last week I decided to look for gaming headsets, that are relatively cheap (~$150) and don't look too much like gaming. Just yesterday I saw Technes review on the Pulse Elite and they looked and sounded promising. When searching through Amazon I came across the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 and they look also pretty decent. This is the first review of many that I'm about to watch, to finally decide which headset I'll choose.
Sonar is the app that comes with GG on windows. The eq u see in the nova5 is its own capability.
These sync with sonar on pc, that’s also how you make/save a custom eq
When does this come out in stores?
Make a video comparing the steelseries nova 5 vs playstation pulse elite
What is the best headset for Xbox in your opinion? I need a new headset and I want the best one on the market.
How do they compare to the Pulse Elite?
Dang this is a cool headset. I’m
Gonna get one on payday 👍🏽👍🏽
This or the nova 7s?
If budget wasn’t a factor would you choose these or the pro?
If I tweak the headset on my PC will the settings go to console too? I have this headset and have been loving it just a question I had.
You should review some ww2 radio headphones
How are they compared to Turtlebeach 700 gen 2 Max?
In my country Nova 5 costs 180$ is it still worth it?
Hi, you said you get a tone when a call comes in, do you get the tone if a text comes in also?
Are these better than the original artics pro wireless ?
Thanks for the review. I think that its a nice pair of headphones but i have a gaming laptop and im scared that the dongle is too large and i wong be able to plug in my mouse beacouse the usb a port is next to the c
Looks like a great choice for a lot of ppl
I just ordered these after the hinge on my Razer Blackshark V2 broke after 4 months, so they're going back to Amazon. I never liked the noise isolation on them anyway, I like to hear my surroundings a little bit.
If you had to chose between these or the arctic nova pros which would you prefer?
nova pro
Nooooo 😭 I should have gotten this! I was looking for a headset cuz mine was basically broken. Got myself the HyperX Alpha wireless which is even more expensive, and it's not even that good. I guess I'll see if I get to sell the HyperX alpha headset and purchase this one, this headset looks great!
Are these like a “closed back” headset?
That small dongle is all fine and dandy, but I MUCH prefer the wireless dongle of my SteelSeries Arctis 9.
I can plug my speakers into that dongle and it is VERY nice.
When I turn my headset ON, i have sound in the headset, and no sound in the speakers.
When I turn my headset OFF, I have sound in the speakers, automatically, no need for switching speakers on or of or anything, it just WORKS.
Please get that functionality back :)
I have been using an Arctis 1 Wireless headset for years now and love it. I am interested to see how people feel about the head band fit vs the old school fit of the arctis 1? Not going to lie the upgraded mic is one of the selling points for me. Anyone come from an Arctis 1 to this headset? Would love your thoughts/opinions. Thank you!
Wish they would update the Nova 7 with that microphone. I love my Nova 7x but microphone quality has gotten so much better with recent headset releases. Don't think I would want the Nova 5 due to the all plastic build.
They finally fixed their mics! Finally! Now we just have to wait for it to come to the rest of the lineup…
I have the Razer Barracuda ( middle model), very similar to these SSAN5 😏
Hi! Do you happen to know what Bluetooth codecs the Nova 5 uses?
I've been looking to replace my old Logitech G X pro wireless headset and have been flip flopping between the Audeze maxwell and the Arctis Nova pros. Thought going higher end would be the best since I've never really had a higher end headset. Idk if I should just stick to the mid range with these or pull the trigger on something higher end now. If only the mic was better on the Nova pros, it would make for a much easier decision.
Sound will be considerably better, but by no means are midrange set a slouch in audio. Also thinking of the mic, if you really need a top notch mic, you'd probably need a desk mic and are streaming or recording for other content. If not, a mic on any midrange or high end set will be suffice for game/Discord chat. You won't be hearing yourself anyway. Really, if should boil down to the additional features. I swung to the Nova Pro Wireless because of better range as I galivant throughout my house while listening to music or TH-cam, but also have simultaneous Bluetooth so my ADHD brain can consume IG reel/TikTok at the same time while listening or gaming.
I've been using the nova pros wired since launch and they're by far the best headset I've ever used.
@r3ikobomb the features for simultaneous Bluetooth is super appealing because my job usually has me on call all day, but I game in my downtime, so sometimes it's hard to take a phone call when I'm in game. I'm heavily leaving towards the nova pros because of that feature alone.
How is the mic quality for phone calls though? Is it bad?
Nova 7’s sound incredible. I swapped my pro wireless for them as they have more depth and fullness which I like as I play single player now not just apex. The price is inbetween the 5’s and pros. The pros are better in the highs for sure though.
Arctis Nova Pro 2 on the horizon ?
On xbox the worked perfectly fine the first few times, but now when i join an xbox party I can’t hear my friends nor can they hear me, even though my game audio is working fine. Anyone have a fix for this?
I’ve been holding off on a headset for a long time now but just pulled the trigger on these. Disappointed by the lack of a 3.5 though. That’s baffling.
The you buy the 7
The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is currently on sale here in Sweden for $250 while the Nova 5 is $150. For that price, which one would you recommend?
both of those sound good, personally i'd rather buy the nova 5's for 150
Sounds like the 5 has a better mic too
Hi if you can afford the nova pro wireless those all day it's the flagship I have the white edition nova pro there awesome
@@jamesstevens968 that’s a good point, plus if you care about mic quality you’ll get a separate one anyway (I didn’t even think about that), go for the sale and get the pro
techne is there any replacement cushions you can recommend the nova 5 ..thanks man
The wicked cushions are good.
i've just ordered this one. But where do i have to put the usb-c dongle in? I use an elite controller and don't have an usb-c port 🤣
Great review.
Why do you consider this the new $140 sweet spot? Wouldn’t the PS5 Elite beat this out?
Planner magnetic drivers
Better mic
ANC
Simultaneous Bluetooth
I don’t see how these rank better?!?
The Pulse Elites don’t have ANC and the mic is actually worse!! I have the Elite and might make the jump to these cause they seem better for a lot of reasons!
After testing the Nova 5x and my other headsets bluetooth just has too much latency for gaming in my opinion. 2.4 works pretty well. I did find this headset with the least latency in 2.4 mode compared to my Arctis 7 headset. My Arctis 7 headset does fit over my ears better but the Nova 5x does have a lot of things that are better. I need a way to plug the dongle into my Rog Ally and also have a way to charge it at the same time. The dongle will not fit right now mainly because of the case on my Ally and volume buttons.
I'm finding it hard to decide between the nova 4 and the nova 5. Since I only use pc the mobile app doesn't really matter for me.
Question? Can I Bluetooth this headset to my PC and have it connected to my Xbox to hear both audios at the same time? R is that only capable with the 7s?
Only 7s can do simatanious audio
Nice! Well, how would you rank it against acrtis nova pro?
arctis pro is better, but also more $$$
@TheTechne thanks for advice! ❤
What would you chose between nova 5 or nova 7, i have a warranty coupon that can buy one full price and dont know what to chose cause I dont see very differences
Nova 5's
The Nova 5 is the new version that adds the new microphone and added other improvements mentioned in the video. Better than the Nova 5.
That mic quality makes this more worth it than the 7 imo
So if i purchase the nova 5x version i can use it wireless on xbox series x and wirless on pc?
whats better, this or g pro x 2nd gen?
These are what the nova 4's should've been🔥💪
nova 5 having a better mic than the nova pro makes me wonder if they’ll upgrade the pro
Is this headset better than blackshark v2 hyperspeed?
i use the turtle beach stealth pro for xbox, would these be a upgrade or downgrade?
Downgrade lol. Wtf
if your on ps5 how would you charge the controller with the dongle in?
HOLY FINALLY A STEELSERIES WITH A MIC 👁️👄👁️
How is the sidetone on this new headset? Tried the one on Nova Pros and it was barely audible after the latest update...
Man. I just bought turtle beach stealth pro for 370$ CAD, and the sidetone is maxed out and barely audible . Updates can fix that ? Cause I really love the headset besides that
Any white noise or static? Always had that issue with the novas. With the new turtle beach stealth series coming out I’m not sure which one will work for me
I never noticed any. Have you checked all your settings. Also maybe mic monitoring is set to high.
@@TheTechne yeah I’ve tried that still is a issue I get with my tinnitus. Been using the arctis 1 for awhile now so wanna upgrade. guess I’ll try both the turtle beach stealth 500 (2024) and the nova 5.
Too bad it doesn't have simultaneous wireless and BT. I always listen to podcasts, music and videos while gaming on console
Does the mic on the 5p/5x have Ai powered noise cancellation like the 7p and the pros do? This is a huge selling point for me because my friends always tell me they can hear my air conditioning in the background during game sessions.
Have you adjusted noise gate settings in Discord? That should do enough to block out AC sounds.
@rocketgirl I have not. I dont use Discord. Just standard private chat on PS5 when playing COD. I have the older 7p that first came out and the mic picks up even the slightest pin drop. Thanks for the suggestion though.
so its it better than the black shark v2 pro 23 ?
I be down if the mic was detachable.
These or the HyperX Cloud Alphas?
year ago i got the 7X and for me it wasn't comfortable at ALLL and since i never wanted to try any Steelseries anymore and i won't risk it and buy this one too feel the same
Can it connect usb c to usb c (in lieu of the missing 3.5mm jack?
This is great. Wish it was 99
What do you think? Nova Pro Wireless for Xbox or the 5x? Which sounds better?
I think the Nova Pro would naturally sound better as it’s twice as expensive, but as of which one gives you a better value, the Arctis Nova 5 packs a lot considering its price, it’s gonna give you probably the best “price to performance” out of any other headset
You just gotta ask yourself whether you actually need some of the more premium stuff on the Nova Pro and whether the difference in sound quality is worth paying twice as much as the Nova 5
I had the Nova Pros for a month and they sounded good but had quality control issues! Just picked up the Nova 5s and I’m impressed the EQs are insane!! The FIFA preset for sports games is so immersive!! They’re also really good for FPS games! Honestly I think these sound better than the Pros and they’re half the cost!
Meglio le nova 7 ?
Had 7p for a month, sent them back and got nova 5x for PS5 due to the better mic and app support
However, I'm not happy with them already and gonna go back to nova 7p because:
1. Headband fits more tight on head and I have a large head, , I get headaches in a hour with nova 5. The all plastic has less clamping vs metal 7 band.
2. Elastic head band is cheaper and doesn't fit as good as nova 7, its too long and allows less adjustments.
3. Ear coverings are cheaper and more rough feeling on skin, not as soft as nova 7
4. App has a hard time connecting to headset if you don't follow exact steps
5. Setting custom eq still requires pc connection, cannot be done on app.
What are you eq settings for nova 7P?
Can I turn off the volume limiter though to app?
I’ve been using Turtle Beach headsets for a while. Every Turtle Beach headset I’ve used hasn’t lasted more than a year. The Stealth 700 gen2 Max and the Stealth Pro. I’m done with Turtle Beach. Their quality is garbage. And I baby my headsets.
So now I’m deciding between these 3. Which one would you say is the better of the 3?
Audeze Maxwell Xbox
Arctis Nova Pro Xbox (wired)
Arctis Nova 5x
Is these the same presets thats on the dac on nova pro
i decided to jump on this headset because of the microphone, i really wanted to get the nova pro wireless but the mic is so awful for a streamer like me. It sounds just like im on speaker on a phone call. I wish the nova pro wireless had this microphone.
these or the barracuda?
Can somebody tell me how well sidetone works with this headset? Bc with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless it barely works, you can’t really hear yourself if your firmware is up to date, even set to high, unless the mic is directly in your mouth.
i mainly play FPS. currently use a30s. would these be an upgrade?
I’ll say this! The preset EQs are insane and you can easily find ones that sound good for every game! I play a lot of Siege and XDefiant and I can hear footsteps so easily! Plus the comfort is insane!
Is it worth getting if I already have the nova 7p
Only if u want the app control
mine has this weird distortion sound idk how to fix it
