First of all, thank you very much for the review. I've been using the Arctis 5 for about five years now. Actually, it still works perfectly fine, but I feel like spending some money :). When the battery life is over, can we replace it? My second question is, can we use it with a cable? I would be very happy if you could answer. Thank you.
The battery isn't replaceable, at least not easily. Yes, you can power them via USB and use them at the same time. They are always wireless though. No audio is passed through the USB.
@@goukigodfor me personally I love how straight to the point you are. No 5 minute intros explaining what you’re gonna talk, all for 2 minutes of review
I mean you’re comparing apples to oranges, they are vastly different headsets, if you want a wireless headset go with the Nova 5, if you want a cheaper and wired headset then go with the Alpha S
I bought this headphones but the microphone doesn't work properly when I make a loud sound or even when I move the mic a little bit it intrerupts somebody knows what I have to do ?
I’ve just got them and they’re making a “crackling/popping” noise in the audio. I’ve researched the issue on the internet and it seems to be a common issue with the model. Any suggestions or tips?
should i buy nova 5 or nova 3. i dont have serious job with voice and i will just use them for game. i’m not sure which one i should buy. this is wireless but everyone telling cable ones is better, and for mic i think both is good. but they have 60 euro difference. which one i should buy?
Pretty big difference in features between the two but very similar in terms of sound quality and comfort. I think the Nova 5 sounds better but it's certainly not a night and day situation.
why can i hear myself thru the headset when im talking on the mic? its really annoying when im in a party on the ps5 and can hear myself and background noise thru my own headset. is there any way to turn that off?
Very different headsets. I'm assuming you mean the Artis Nova Pro? The Pro sounds better, has built in surround sound and lets you connect to more than one device simultaneously. Whereas the 5 is wireless and has an app.
Virtual surround sound is very subjective and for gaming I think it can be a nice to have. Should work fine with these. Sony's 3D audio sounds great through the Nova range.
Correct. The Nova 7 has a few extra features such as dual wireless playback, a 3.5mm analogue connection and an additional dial on both the regular Nova 7 (chatmix) and 7P (sidetone). I prefer the way it's tuned (how it sounds) too. The 5 does have a bigger battery though
That is real stupid that PlayStation does not allow you to use that future. That’s the reason why I purchased the Astro A50 Logitech. You can manage it on the app.
Agreed. My guess is they do it to reserve the best features for their own products. Xbox uses a priority wireless signal which is why you need a specific headset for Xbox and neither PlayStation or Xbox let you use regular bluetooth headphones. Ironically, Nintendo let you connect just about anything to the Switch.
Hello, I bought your product Artics nova 5p and I am very satisfied except for one thing and I would like to advise you on it. to the headphones .. Does it also work with Steelseries ar.nova 5p ?? Because I couldn't find anything about it anywhere and there is no one to advise me .. thank you for the answer ..
@@goukigod Sorry for my mistake in translation, so before I bought Steelseries Ar.Nova 5p, I had 3Dpulse for ps5, and when I wanted to use those 3Dpulses, I just had to turn them on and all the sound from Ps5 was automatically switched to hearing aids .. It is also possible with my current SteelseriesA.Nova5p somehow set it? Or you still have to switch them manually in the settings .. thanks for the answer ..
If I understand correctly, the sound on your PS5 will switch automatically to the Nova 5P when you turn the headset on. The PS5 will always switch to a new audio source, unless you change it in the PS5 settings to be manual.
@@goukigodNo no, I meant if there is a function when I turn on the headphones so that all the sound is switched to the headphones and when I turn them off all the sounds are transferred to the console .. so I had it on the 3D pulse and does it also work on the Steelseries 5p, I'm their new user, so I don't know how it works..
can I plug it to my pc when it run out of battery? you said there is no 3.5mm so I can only use it wirelessly but also said I can use it while charging how does that work
These for sure , unless you want the chat/game valoume rocker ( I wanted it for my ps5 but it dosent have it) I have a arctic 7+ for my pc and it's amazing it has everything , I bought it never the less becouse of battry life comparing to 3d pulse headset which is garbage battry and mic wise This has a fantastic mic 60 hour battry , I hope I can't fix the valoume rocker issue somehow withing the app
This is the same problem you'll find with most other headsets. Unless it has an optical in, chatmix has to be managed using the system OS on PlayStation
I don’t get it. If the price is the same, why make a 5p and a 5x? Has anyone had problems with 5x? I was completely burned by steelseries with their arctis 9x; the connection was god awful; to the point of being unusable and they wouldn’t trade them in or refund. Not sure I’ll take a jump with them again, but if I did, I’d want to be sure these aren’t going to have a good connection.
I asked this exact question to a SteelSeries marketing rep and the reason they have the different models is simply so that people know that their specific platform is covered. Doesn't makes sense to me but there you go.
barracudas seem like a shell in comparison, absolutely pay or save up the extra 30. the mic on my barracuda xs that ive had for about a year r starting to cut out during use. which is y im upgrading to the nova 5s
I just got the nova 5p two days ago but it sounds really crackly and makes some warping sounds on the ps5. It sounds fine with the Bluetooth and for some reason sounds fine with the 2.4 on my laptop, but on the switch and ps5 with the 2.4 it makes those sounds but the ps is significantly worse than the switch. Any ideas on if that’s something I can fix or should I just try and get a replacement? I’ve tried re pairing the dongle to the headphones, using the usb adapter piece, adjusting the eq, updating it, changing the distance but nothing is fixing working. I had the arctis 7p before this and still do (I still have to use them now because of this) and it works perfectly fine everywhere so I’m not sure what the problem is. I think it might be the dongle since the bluetooth works fine but I don’t know since it works on my laptop. Any ideas?
@@NottaSmirfn yea I ended up just returning mine and getting the nova 7p because they were on sale on Amazon. They actually work and I do prefer them more because they come with a wire to make them wired too but the 5 didn’t. I don’t usually use a wire but I like to have it as an option just in case

[ UPDATE 10/05/24 ]
The Nova 5X does have a chatmix dial. Neither the base 5 or 5P have this.
Are you sure the regular 5 doesn’t have it? I thought only the 5P doesn’t have it
Does the Chatmix dial of the 5X work on PC??
@@SaifSKH Yes, only the 5x has the chatmix dial

Glad to hear it. What do you like about my videos?

Pulse elite still sound better tho
for pc a nova 5P is good ?
is it normal for the plastic on the fork bit to be scratched so easily by fingernails. something tells me theyre gonna look ugly after a few months
Same. Mines got scratched but it’s small scratch I ain’t notice the plastic was so delicate to scratching. Just keep your fingernails clipped. Lol
just keep your nails short
@Adama.1 I do, my point is that it's material is very vulnerable and the nails was just a reference point
What’s exactly chat mix and how does it affect PlayStation
It adjusts the game and chat volume. So you can set one to be louder than the other.
should i get nova 7 or nova 5?
get 5 brother is better
This or the blackshark v2 hyperspeed
Steel series is a better brand for gaming, it’s long lasting and it’s honestly just better
i just bought this YESTERDAY, does it have good BASS BOOSTED?
These ones or Hyperx Cloud Alpha S?
I mean you’re comparing apples to oranges, they are vastly different headsets, if you want a wireless headset go with the Nova 5, if you want a cheaper and wired headset then go with the Alpha S

I love the head sets but does anyone have a setting for warzone>
There's already an EQ setting for it in the preset list.
any reason why the mute mic button doesnt work
is this a worthwhile purchase for ps5?
Can it be connected through a dac that uses 3.5mm? USB-C to 3.5mm? I will be using the Sound BlasterX G6

Answer my question on your designing addiction video
why can i hear myself thru the headset when im talking on the mic? its really annoying when im in a party on the ps5 and can hear myself and background noise thru my own headset. is there any way to turn that off?
That's most likely side tone. Can be turned off, or down, via the app and software
@@goukigod thank you so much! it was bugging me that i could hear myself but yea with the app i turned it off
Would you recommend this or the Turtle Beach Stealth Pros for $50 more?
If you can get the Turtle Beach Stealth Pros for only $50 more then that's a no-brained my dude
Nova pro not wireless and Nova 5 ,which is better ?
Very different headsets. I'm assuming you mean the Artis Nova Pro? The Pro sounds better, has built in surround sound and lets you connect to more than one device simultaneously. Whereas the 5 is wireless and has an app.
Does Nova 7x have the audio game options on the app or is exclusive for 5x?
Nova 7 does not have an app. 7X does have a game/chatmix dial though.
Do they have tighter clamping force from the 7?
Yes, the 7’s wouldn’t stay on my head and the 5’s do.
Does the mic block out background noise?
when using the GG software yes. Not on it's own.
Is this the only steel series headset with the app?
So far, yes.
Arctics nova 5 or razer barracuda x??
Do not get a barracuda x. Terrible build quality. And a lot of issues. Esp with the microphone.
Can you turn off the volume limited on the app? Because previous model require you to download software on a pC?
Yes
Is it worth using Dolby Atmos with this headset on Xbox? Or will it interfere with the app presets?
Virtual surround sound is very subjective and for gaming I think it can be a nice to have. Should work fine with these. Sony's 3D audio sounds great through the Nova range.
I’m confused
Since it’s labeled 5… it’s not better than the 7’s right? lol
Its the same,just 7 has a metal headband and 5 has a plastic,same drivers same everything except chipset,5 has a newer chipset
Correct. The Nova 7 has a few extra features such as dual wireless playback, a 3.5mm analogue connection and an additional dial on both the regular Nova 7 (chatmix) and 7P (sidetone). I prefer the way it's tuned (how it sounds) too. The 5 does have a bigger battery though
@@goukigod I just got the Nova 7 today after having 7P+ today
Sounds pretty good and I love the Bluetooth feature
Pretty much why I upgraded to them
@amirshabani9886 Incorrect. See my other comment in this thread.
Hi! Do you happen to know what Bluetooth codecs the Nova 5 uses?
Sorry, apart from it being Bluetooth 5.3 I don't know. This info wasn't shared in the press release or review guide I was sent.
That is real stupid that PlayStation does not allow you to use that future. That’s the reason why I purchased the Astro A50 Logitech. You can manage it on the app.

@@goukigod yes you’re right. Somebody told me that already.
So with the dual connectivity could I listen to music from my phone with Bluetooth and still hear the game audio/xbox chat?
No. Only one audio source at a time. It doesn't support simultaneous playback. You'd need the Nova 7 for that.

Yes.
