Compared to Nvidias noise cancelling this uses way less resources e.g Nvidia noise cancelling uses about 15-30 of a 3070ti!!!!! While steelseries uses around 2-5 at MOST. Using a i7- 8700k which is still a good CPU but its still nowhere near the performance as the newer generations.

you guys are insane I just found this online xD It was like a hidden gem wtf thank you so much I needed this really bad I'm having like a fan on constantly, because of the heat in the summer and I was searching so much for a noise canceling software, but I couldn't find one really that is for free and unlimitted to use + really good quality. Here I am once more thank you so much! I even just see that you guys also have the boost for the volume in it. My earbuds was kinda low with the volume even on 100% and I'm having some custom settings for TH-cam to stream with. Also thanks for this. I had FxSound for that, but then it doesn't work anymore so I'm using yours aswell for that. I hope that it can just run in the background just fine while gaming. Because my PC isn't the greatest anymore because of the CPU and RAM that can go to 100% usage :/
SteelSeries Sonar has a high-demand on the PC performance. Used on my desktop PC, it works well; used on my laptop, it produces crackling sounds for seconds when I open a webpage at the same time. The latest version of Sonar makes it difficult to route the app playing.
Thank you so much for this informative and funny video. The biggest issue I have with headsets are their mics being too sensitive. This video answered all my questions (already ordered headset but this vid gives me peace of mind until they show up).
I just bought the steelseries arctic 1 wireless. I was disappointed at first because I thought the noise cancellation is fake. I try to be resourceful and saw this video. This is a great help! Thank you!
I think the effect would have been better if you used a "studio" quality mic. I have a video on my channel with an RE320 next to a portable A/C at full blast.
Did you guys just release this to everyone?? THIS IS AMAZING! I just was able to use the feature on my PC it's awesome, I hear no change in my AT2020, gonna be super helpful for my Discord friends so they don't hear my keyboard
Thank you so much I just checked this video out and I want to give a big thanks to developers about this . This software saved me a lot of trouble , I would actually buy the headphones too but the software is amazing , amazing work . The video was amazing demonstrated and exactly on point with all these examples . Thank you so much ! 😎
I used this last summer and it was a godsent when I could for the first time talk with people online while having a fan blast me in the face at the same time and not have people tell me to get out of the hurricane. I SORELY WISH this tech would come to android devices. When using earbuds people say that cars sounds like a knife that is slicing their eardrum out.. I'd love to apply this to phone calls etc, that would be so amazing.
The software is the only reason i still stick with SteelSeries. They needa redesign the headsets cause they ALWAYS brake right at that hinge. Nvidia Broadcast works Much better for noise cancellation
I don't use Steelseries headsets but I've been using their Sonar software for over 6 months now with a Coolermaster MH752 and it's hard to go back now. Being able to EASILY set chat volume and game volume to different devices is a godsend. I also use the microphone equalizer to make further improvements.
My XM5 broke again. It was replaced before under warranty and it broke again for the same reason. I'm considering Steelseries instead. I just need to watch a couple more reviews.
I had a ss nova 7p and the mic was extremely sensitive compared to my hyperx cloud 2 wireless. Hyperx mic is really good cancelling noise around you like people talking. The novas and turtle beach microphones are terrible they're extremely sensitive.
This doesn't work. Laughter isn't picked up with it enabled, it creates a strange phenomenon where you'll hear some laughter then it'll fade out. Please fix this
If that's a Steelseries mic I'm avoiding them, as it's awful sounding. I'm so confused by this app. It would be so nice if you made detailed tutorials on TH-cam, not just demos like this one. I'm checking out the Frugal Streamers turtorial on this software currently, so will come back to give my opinion. 🤔Edit: Needs more mouse-over tips for everything. Also, the mixer needs to be visible as we change the microphone options so we can see the effect AS we change them.
Pretty much any wireless microphone is going to sound like that, because of Bluetooth limitations but honestly it’s good and you can clearly hear what he is saying
Wait so is it that you can't hear the violin or that the mic isn't picking up the violin and only his voice? Pls I need to know b/c my bf plays right behind me and my mic picking up his voice along with mine is a pain
@@Abztract check the corsair hs80 wireless mic, the mic quality of that headset is superb. And as for the wireless mic from arctis line up, you can tweak the equalizer to get your preferred mic quality.
how do I reset this back to off by default? having to turn it off everytime I restart is a huge hassle. The feature doesnt really work properly in high noise environment, which made the audio cuts off like static, making it impossible to hear rather than you can still hear them with noise.
First hand use of this, it does NOT preform like this. It's either set high enough that I cut in and out myself to rid of the background noise, or it just continues to pick up background sounds. Using Nova Pro wireless with the clearcast.
@@Tui3694 Not so obviously. Since the Strix Go uses it's own circuitry to do the AI magic. It's really only a matter of time when competing products from SteelSeries and the like, will be able to do the same. But I guess now is not that time.
I have this toggled on and every single movement can be heard from the headset. People i play with can literally hear if i move my feet across the floor. Not sure what to do.
how do u get it to work with the nova 7x, theres nothing to save to headset, when i use the headset on my xbox i have no profile, like footstep focus or anything
@Steelseries guys I have a problem with SONAR since yesterday. When I have open sonar app and eq ON with different settings, ppl hear my voice like in the danone box or like from the toilet. When I quit app, it's all ok. Wtf? I have eq APO config on.
okay cool why cant it all switch over to my xbox because the mic literally picks up everything ive gone into the pc and tryed to see if it switches everything ive done on sonar over to the xbox but it doesnt
But only on pc! beacuse my brother's both have the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless on ps5 and that mic picks up every fucking noise and can't even hear the game beacuse of how noisy it is. SteelSeries should make a app for the phones too.
From what I can tell the the "Noise Canceling" only applies to the microphone. What about people with sensory overload to sounds. And want to drown out that same noise while wearing the headphones. "Sound sensitivity refers to a phenomenon where individuals have a heightened, often uncomfortable, response to sounds that most people can tolerate or ignore. A specific form of sound sensitivity is misophonia, where sounds-like the clanging of dishes or the constant clicking of a pen-cause distress, regardless of their volume. This discomfort can persist even when these sounds are not particularly loud or harsh. On the other hand, some individuals experience discomfort from any sound at or above a certain volume threshold, sometimes as low as that of a typical conversation. These reactions to sound can vary greatly, from mild annoyance or discomfort to feelings of disgust, and in severe cases, can even manifest as physical pain. Understanding the intricacies of sound sensitivity is crucial as its impact extends beyond the auditory realm, influencing individuals’ emotional well-being and daily functioning." Make a pair of headphones that aid those who have sound sensitivity. Essentially an earpad that blocks out distractions and noises for a full and richer immersion.
I cant create an account on steelseries sonar, just bought the arctis nova pro wireless, and cant get the full potential. Sucks. You have to make it great Again 🙏😐
Will cancel other people's voice cause I have a bf that constantly use discord to call his in game friend and whenever I am in the room like just little talk he always shush me so I wonder will it work?
Yeah, but most people wont be sitting playing right next to a vacuum the whole time. The less the ai has to cancel out the better the quality you can also adjust the slider and only filter as much as needed.
I've had the arctics nova pro wireless for cp and ps5 for 2 weeks now paid $450.00. I go to the gg app on my pc set everything up can have music full blast mic dosen't pick it up when I bring them over to ps5 I can barley breathe without my teammates hearing me I'm about ready to return them any suggestions?
no, it's actually enhances background noises when you start talking, so at first your voice will be clear, but after some time, other in voice party will hear more background noise than yours. I have nova 7, tried everything, but I assume that background noise cancelling works only on PC
This wont fix my insanely oversensitive mic on my new arctic 7+ headsets. No matter what settings I change in sonar or in the engine itself changes nothing. My mic picks up wind gust in trees that are 50 meters away from my window thats slightly open. It picks up every breath I take and "just lower mic volume" doesn't do the trick. Anyone that can help?
Get yourself a better headset I use a hyperx cloud 2 wireless and the mic is extremely good with noise cancelling compared to the nova 7p or TB stealth 700max.
