Gaming headsets are just not worth it. Most headphones can just be better and cheaper. No built in mic that is any good. But they are generally better.
Idea when it comes to the non-flat top. Steelseries could simply just have an option in software to flip the display upside down so people can still mount it to the underside of their desk and it would still be usable.
@@Hewitt_himself what has this to do with anything? he is just saying he wants display to be 180degree rotated- not necessarily the product itself. but even if it is that shouldnt be an issue-

Glad to see this review, been using Astro A50s for like 3 years since I got my GOXLR, seemed to have been the only wireless option with next to no latency. Going to keep an eye on this.
I’ve got the arctic 7 wireless and love it. This headset is tempting to upgrade to but very pricey. Might wait for a deal/next gen to come out before upgrading.
Same. I got the 7+P so I can hot swap between PC and PS5 and I can see why it was voted best wireless gaming headset before. I won't be upgrading anytime soon. Sure, it lacks a little ooomph on the bottom end but they also weren't advertised as audiophile headphones either.
I'm tempted to get these. As small of a feature as it might seem for most, the fact that the headset is now extendable and my oversized brain holster means that these are actually an option while the Artis Pro was not.
IN THE FUTURE JUST DRAG THE FOLDER INTO DAVICI. Worked with blackmagic for years. Raw is amazing for control. But easy to convert to prores using DaVinci! Made the same mistake in the past! Love ya man. Note: I do wish they would make raw as easy as red does… :( but there you go.
I love love love the Astro A50’s. Been using them for 6-7 years now. They have really lacked in the innovation department…I really wanted the SS headset to be my replacement for my living room gaming setup but the last arctic headphones felt so cheap and didn’t have the same bass or loudness the A50s have.
@@Tsunat3z i upgraded from old gen 2 a50s and its definetly worth it only problem is the leather as its goes to 115f in my area so i need to find some aftermarket non leather ear pads ASAP
I really wish they would sell just the wired version of the DAC, so that I could have solid audio output from the next gen consoles with whatever headphones I want
If that's what you want, and you use a ps5 and/or switch, just get a Schiit Hel. Its a much better product than this is for that use case, and you can still use digital audio processing like Sonys 3D sound
You really couldn't just buy the program to convert your image to remove that big ass watermark? lol I feel like you would make enough from this video alone to afford it *EDIT* Yeah 12 hours of rendering sucks, I wonder if there are better alternatives out there that wouldn't take as long? Either way, it was a great video and I understand that you don't wanna hold off uploading a video for too long just to render down a RAW file
I agree. I always wanted a nice multipurpose wireless headset and the only that really fit my needs was the Astro A50, but Astro headsets are so ugly so I never bothered. Will definitely be picking this one up when I can.
I’ve said this 100x, they need to have an internal battery in the headset that holds a charge when swapping batteries… shouldn’t have to turn headset back on because I’m swapping a battery!
This is an incredibly niche want actually. The battery lasting 10 hours is plenty for a session and for extended, swapping it every few hours when a bathroom break happens is good. While it would still be convenient, it would completely destroy the purpose behind having easily removable and swappable batteries in the first place. The internal one will eventually give out which would lead to just more headaches than it's worth in design and use.
It's awesome you had a good experience so far, but my Arctis Pro Wireless headset broke after right around a year of gentle use. A quick visit to Reddit revealed there's a common point of breakage and it's on multiple models of the Arctis. I'd really like to know if the Nova Pro fixed that. Steelseries replacement experience is not super great, when there was a feature malfunction on my Apex Pro keyboard, they asked me to cut its cord it in return for a voucher to buy a replacement from their site. But they were out of stock, so I would have had no keyboard for weeks to months.
I got the same problem with my arctis pro wireless it cracked around where the top piece connects to where it sits on your ear after 3 years but fantastic headset will definitely upgrade it soon
I've read about the Arctis quality in general and for me is kinda baffling considering I've had both an Arctis 3 and a Pro Wireless for years and the only problem I've had with them are the cushions breaking. Lucky I guess...
@@arekutheof555 Hope your luck continues. Maybe it's just people with big heads? My Pro Wireless seemed solid until they broke, and the breakage was almost like the plastic kind of just got really brittle. I liked them enough that I very strongly considered buying new ones anyway.
bought a $60 pair of astro a10's, cant bring myself too replace em because everything else ive used doesnt have as good sound, or doesnt let me head footsteps as well in cs. I realise pretty much anything over $100 will be better but. for the price, the a10's dont have too many down sides for me
Already one big downside for me is the removal of the optical input. Think I'm sticking with the original Pro wireless. Thanks for the honest first impressions video 👌
The reason is because optical can only support highly compressed audio signals, especially for surround codecs. The format was never updated to support bandwidths.
I’ve had the arctic 7 for two years. By far the best headset I’ve ever owned and will definitely be picking this one up. Amazing review as always. Thanks!
why don’t you use audiophile headphones like streamers such as ninja (beyerdynamic dt-1990) and tfue? (sennheiser hd800s) is it because wireless is that important to you? i’ve never found wireless for headphones while gaming to be an important factor
I wonder if thats why everyone thought I was crazy...I always noticed the latency when monitoring my mic. But everyone else was like "idk what you're talking about" Though Harris did say he used the Line In for all his audio, and then the USB would have just been for power, unless you can completely disable the USB side of things...which I kind of did and it didn't seem to solve my issue. Hmm. However you have shed light on this for me so thanks for that!
These are absolutely a contender to replace my current Steel Series headphones. I have the Arctis7x for Xbox/PC. I love them, but they do not have HALF the features of these. I started on Xbox but have since ascended to pc and these would be a dope upgrade. New dono goal!
That latency would be a dealbreaker for me. There’s always going to be some delay when the signal is being sent over wireless but a noticeable amount is enough to feel weird for me
If the latency is worse than the previous version and some bean counters thought people wouldn't care and it's just saving money, then I'm out. Harris, what's the final word on latency?
Same. Had to sell my Arctis Pro Wireless because the latency threw me off when I spoke with sidetone on, and if this one is between equal to worse latency, then it has to be a nor for me. Sad though, cause every other thing about these steelseries headsets is amazing and convenient.
Actually been using the 7 and no latency problems with me specially cause im picky, but with this one ima go with a the wire version cause i want something lightweight
Nice headset, but I have tested it for 2 weeks together with the Audeze Penrose. Sound and soundfield of the Penrose is absolutely way and I mean WAY better. I would choose the Penrose over this headset any time.
Tried the Beacn mic and the real time mic monitoring with slight ms delay was a deal breaker for me. I can only imagine it being worse with a wireless headset. Sending the Beacn mic back today actually. Getting back to XLR real time - zero latency.
my only issue with the headset (arctis pro wireless, not the nova) is the internal mounts on the ear cuffs are cheap, mine broke in the first month so my cuffs are crazy loose and bounce when i take my headset off. obviously this could just be a fluke defect issue, but since i didnt get a warranty i was just screwed and have to tape my ear cuffs up so i dont risk damaging any wires
in my case like the start of the video, are the logitech pro x i have them since day launch and for me are the best headphones i already tried out the steelseries artic pro but for some reason i didnt like them
That "spacial audio" thing is basically how so of the other types of headphone surround (Dolby Atmos Headphone, the PS5's 3D audio, etc) work. Check out something called HRTF (head related transfer function) to see why it works.
That size of a watermark is insane, put a little thing in the corner sure I get that, it's free trial, but at that size....its like them asking to be boycotted...(not sure if i'm using the right word there, but damnn)
I also own and love the pro wireless headset so and interested to see how you get on over time, as i have learnt over time the pro wireless are the most comfy when using for long period of time. Other headsets I have used have leather padding and they get too warm after a couple of hours.
I have been using the Arctis Pro Wireless for years now, I love them!!! Altho I do not know if I will be upgrading unless my current set dies on me. Steel Series has the best headset in terms of I/O on the market, nobody is pulling me away until they match that. If or when I upgrade it WILL be a set of these unless there is yet another new set out.
PS5 users have desperately needed a premium option that is compatible with Tempest 3D Audio. The only real choices being the SteelSeries Arctis 7P and the Sony Pulse 3D which are at best decent to meh options. The Arctis Nova Pro being compatible with Tempest 3D Audio and having multiple inputs is huge. Also to answer your questions about XBOX Series compatibility, the XBOX requires a security chip for the headset to work. That's literally the only difference. One of the usb inputs on the transmitter is labeled XBOX and only works with the XBOX and PC. The other port is still compatible with any non-XBOX device.
I've been using it for the past few months. Headset feels and looks good, sounds great, battery life is good (maybe even last longer than the arctis pro wireless - comparing new to new), hinge fault from previous arctis pro's has been addressed (they added a little rubber for more flexibility, only time will tell if the hinge still breaks). The noise cancellation seems good to me but I have never used noise cancellation on other headsets before. The ONE draw back I found so far - the ear pads need to be thicker as in the middle of the ear cup there is the noise cancellation emitter that protrudes outward and very easy rubs on your ear. I have read multiple complaints about this so be VERY aware and expect to buy some ear cups from "wicked cushions" or some other store once the baseline pads wear in and you start to feel the rubbing. Myself having the previous arctis pro's I 3D printer a plastic adapter and used the arctis pro ear pads I purchased from wicked cushions and was able to save a few dollars. I've had no issues with the rubbing since. The new sonar software is awesome, cant express that enough. The equalizer adjusts seems great to me - I am no audio-freak but out of the box I was happy with default. I did play around with the equalizer and it seemed to have a nice range of bass and treble. I've even done the firmware updates and it went very smoothly (took a little time but just have to be patient). I did a firmware update on the arctis pro's previously and basically wrecked the audio quality of the headset, take that as you will. What I like most, from the software you can easily set the headset as default device and then alternatively access your Realtek (for example) audio driver software and set your speakers back to default to just swap back and forth OR you can also use the sonar software and change the default output to your speaks from there. Lots of different ways to set it up which is awesome. Hope that helps :) Ps. I was going to give up on SteelSeries after the Arctis headset as the hinge broke on me. It was replaced under consumer laws(Australia) and they upgraded me to the Nova, which honestly surprised me. This headset & software to me seem leaps ahead of the old but if the hinge survives I have no idea. Hopefully there quality control has been upped. This is what the Arctis should have been, I'd be very happy with this headset (so far) even if it did not have the noise cancelation.
Thanks for the review! I've got the arctis pro with gamedac and I'm having the same issue with the hinges and I was looking for an upgrade but was a bit sceptical about the new nova series... Good to hear that it had been addressed in some way
@@Adi-kr5nd No worries, one other thing I've noticed over time is the head strap seems to stretch slightly, I'm now on the final notch of the adjustments. Another weird thing which isn't really a problem but I find odd... When I tilt my head to the right 90 degrees, the right ear cup seems to have a loose item inside it which makes a little noise. Not really an issue as you never tilt your head like that really, just bizarre. Overall though, sound quality along with the sonar software functionality really sets this headset miles ahead. Whatever team made that software did an amazing job.
I've been running with a HyperX Cloud Flight Wireless for almost 3 years now, and I'm sure I could upgrade to something a bit more premium at this point but it really isn't doing me anything wrong so Imma keep running it. This headset looks nice but not sure if i's worth the price for me.
It is tbh ive been using my artic 7wireles since they come out and it the best money i could ive spend, and the mic ufffff flawlesss best mic everrrr in a headset, i told my friend about it and he not going back to other brands, i was worry about the durability in the 7 but nopee 💯 guarantee the best quality in a headset, and ive been wanting to upgrade but no other brand can compare to themij my view, ima get this ones but wire now
@@aka__maza2574 well atleats your headset dosent have dead battery after just 1 year or so of use (arctic 7 as yours ) also the mic dosent sound great but then again my voice is diffrent so it might be that, that makes my mic sound awful.
@@lougou7698 i never had problems with mine, i usually charge it for a few hours and forget about it for 4 days and ive have also use it alot with the jack cable and no problems at all the only thing i recall is the volume knob and the headband but that is from years of wear but still flawless in quality, and the mic im comparing it to other headset ive havent found any mic compare to this and to record simple voice over is perfect too i think the mic is better then a snow ball and same quality as the yeti
Im excited. Ive been waiting for a new set to come out. I looked into getting the Pro wireless in about 2020, and saw they had been out a while. So i decided to wait. And im glad i did.
Love how honest Harris always is. Genuinely feel like a friend listening to his unbiased opinion. E.g. the feedback delay on the input he didnt need to mention that or the shape of the device for mounting on his desk. I like!! Also if you see this Harris - i dont own a steelseries (hyperx cloud) and people complain about the headsets breaking above the earcup join. Durability is pretty key for me, is this one much better then the arctis pro?
Currently using the Arctis Pro myself with a GoXLR. Love the Arctis Pro and haven't found a better headset for my needs. Glad to see Steelseries improving the model and not taking anything away from it and at the same price point as the Arctis Pro I'll definitely be picking these up in the near future.
I just got this headset about a week after this video came out and thought I bricked the headset after doing a update. Lucky for me, that didn't happen but updating the headset seems to be a little tricky. The software would act as if the update had completed but then would show a update was still there and as it turned out, the software seemed to just bail on the update soon after it started. I had to make multiple attempts before the update fully worked and I was able to turn the headset on again.
I recently had to make the same choice. My Arctis Pro Wireless broke and wasn't available anywhere, and I decided to get the ath r70x instead. Now that this headset is true I'm having doubts. This exains why my headset was out of stock and I've been missing some of the unqiur features. However, I love the sound of my R70x and I'm not sure if I want to go back.
I bought the previous Arctis Pro (wired) with the GameDac because they had a 40% discount (presumably because of the release of the new headset). I love them. These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I wish I could afford the new model but for the time being, I am hooked.
Personally, i love steelseries, have the Apex Pro and Aerox 3 wireless, although for whatever reason, im not a fan of their headphones. Working in a retail store that has a huge range of gaming products and having tried on a lot of headphones, ive found Steelseries AND Plantronics to be the least comfortable. They fit quite loose (i like my headphones to be a little on the firm side) and found they put too much pressure on the headband. Their sound quality lacked a lot compared to other headphones in a similar price point, even being beaten by some lower priced headphones (more noteably the Cloud Alphas). The feature set of the steelseries headphones certainly are unmatched and thats what makes them great but, i rather a headset that has great sound and great comfort over any feature. Thats just my opinion though. Hopefully the Nova solves those problems and brings not only great features but better comfort and sound quality to the table.
I've been using Arctis 7 Wireless for almost 3 years now and wish I would've spent the extra on the Pro at the time. However, I have been recommending SteelSeries headsets to everyone I've talked to in the market for new ones. They have been unmatched by all the other brands I have tried.
So I have the pro wireless and here are my 3 complaints / wanted upgrades. Hope Harris does a follow up about 2 and 3 for this new headset, since they're pretty widely known at this point. 1. I don't use the mic or mute button at all, so I'd love a version that just doesn't have them. 2. The dac uses an OLED screen with UI elements always visible, so naturally those elements burned into the screen after about a year. It's not that bad, but it's annoying for a premium product to damage itself by design. 3. The battery low indicator doesn't come on until literally 5 minutes before the battery dies. This one is the closest to a real problem, as you don't always have a free minute to hotswap batteries when you need to.
1. You must be the only person that NEVER uses the mic, so no, why would they ever make a GAMING headset without mic. That makes zero sense... 2. Couldn't care less... Had burn in on my one, never cared... Once you set it up right, you never use it anyways... 3. It wasn't 5 minutes, but they could maybe lengthen it a little bit... I heard on this headset the connection won't even drop, if you swap the battery quicker than 8 seconds and that IS a huge improvement!
They look rather nice, but I use a separate mic now so I have no reason for a headset anymore. The only reason I am still using my HyperX headset is because it's great and still work perfectly. Next pair will be a nice pair of headphones. They look great though. Will be curious to hear if the sound quality will be worth the price tag.
I'm really interested how good the mic monitoring or transparency mode on this one is .. that is like the nr. 1 thing that annoys me with my current steel series headset: The sound just being waaaaay too silent.
I’ve been a fan of the steel series headsets way back since the Siberia 800s and have since been using the pro wireless and never had any problems, I’m excited they went back to the leather cups as they tend to be a little softer. Thanks for the review! Look forward to your thoughts after some extended usage.
@@MrDogtown22 I think for a gaming head set they’re great, they give a great range out of the box, but when you incorporate the software they get even better. Obviously they’re not audiophile grade, but if that’s what you’re looking for you’re gonna be looking at the higher end brands and not a gaming headset. But with all the features they offer as well as the sleeker design I’ve really enjoyed them. I use them almost every day, from gaming on Xbox/ps5/pc to just listening to music while I work or when listening to TH-cam videos. They’re not cheap but It’s rare for me to find a product that I can get behind fully and steel series has consistently made these better with every iteration.
@@MrDogtown22 My personal experience using their 800, Arctis Pro and Nova Pro wireless headsets. Worst to Best, Arctis > 800 > Nova. I'd say microphones from all three have been similar. To me the out of box audio of the Arctis was 100% worse than the 800's and the Nova is 200% better than the 800's when you also factor in Sonar. The 800 and Arctis both having hinge issues really wasn't great (Arctis being worse) and left a bad taste in my mouth. Nova's Sonar software makes up for those shortfalls and the noise cancellation is pretty nice too.
My A50s have a volume wheel issue... but I've gotten used to using high end headphones/speakers at my desk.... but I would love a wireless option where I can plug into my gaming PC and PS5 simultaneously. I might have to give these a go
Tbh I love the look of the old one waaay more. The ear cups looked so nice with no interruption and now it's a weird circle over it. Sad, they were the best looking ones on the market
SS addressed this issue and have added a rubber piece at the hinge to help account for flexibility when taking the headset off (whether it works or not is a different story). I've had my headset close to a year now and all is good.
Astros are my main. I dont think anything will replace them until someone makes the audio/ voice chat functionality they have. Sometimes i have to raise the voice chat sometimes the opposite. So useful i hope someone elses makes this
I'm sure someone answered this already, but I haven't seen a comment answering reading through them yet. The reason wireless headphone products have a separate XBox one is because Microsoft has a proprietary wireless protocol for their wireless audio that isn't compatible with PC or PS4, so you have to have a separate wireless headset for it
Would have liked to see a mic test on the built-in mic. Also would like to hear about your opinions on instead of using a headphone that is "dedicated" towards gaming and instead of like an all round good headphone like the Sennheiser 6XX or 58x Jubilee or HD559, Hifiman HE400/HE400SE/HE4XX/HE5XX/HE-X4, or a Beyerdynamic DT series and pair it with something like an Antlion Mic or an Elgato Wave. With most combinations of the mics and headphones I said would come out to similar pricing to the Nova Pro Wireless. Its not really an apples to apples comparison between the 2 just bc it seems like the Nova Pro Wireless doesn't really have a competitor when it comes to raw features. I just wonder how you would perceive the difference in audio quality and mic quality between one of the headphones/mics that I mentioned vs the Nova Pro Wireless.
The microphone being lowkey and the Bluetooth option to use with phone is great addition. Good to know that companies hear us. I've wanted a good headphone for everyday use one I can game with and walk out and listen to my Spotify playlist on my phone. Not everyone can afford to have 3 different headset for 3 different purposes.
What might make these retire my Sony XM3s, is the active cancellation. I -doubt- they'll sound as good and have as good isolation, but I'm willing to try it.
Very sleek looking headset, love the look but it's a steep price whenever I have a perfectly working previous version of the gaming headset.... love the videos Alpha...
I don't personally like the aesthetic of these. Don't know what it is exactly, but I don't love it. That said, what a great feature set. It really is set apart from any other headset with just the swappable battery alone and everything else just widens that gap. It's enough to make me overlook the appearance honestly. If I didn't already love the headphones I use on my PC I'd definitely be looking at these
I love Steel Series. I burn them out pretty fast it seems, but I love the sound so I stick with them. I need new ones so bad and have been so overthinking which ones I want. I'm scared to go to Wireless due to the latency, but I also use a GOXLR so I don teven know how to set up the wireless. I didn't even know you could use wireless with GOLXR until this video so now i'll try it. I stream 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week listening to music the entire time and I've been looking to upgrade. Then you posted this. Perfect as always. Much love and Thanks
I have the headphone out of my GoXLR plugged into the line in on my Pro Wireless DAC and it works fine, just set the DAC to AUX, I don't have any noticeable latency.
Cowin E7 Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headphones, $40 to $50 best price. Pros, price for features. Fast charge. Cons: uses mini-USB charging port, but is standard. And no external battery for fast swap. Charge lasts got hours.
@Senpai Gaming I too have the GoXLR with the SteelSeries Arctis Pro for years but food for thought I go from the GoXLR headphone output to the Headset base I have no latency.
Got them, they sound awful, sonar presets are not good. I miss my hs70 (fell and broke after 2 years of usage, Corsair RMA helped me for 2 years but when I was out of warranty couldn’t do much). Wish there was something else that can do Bluetooth and pc at the same time, that was the selling feature I wanted
Did SteelSeries finally let you use both the USB + Line In ports at the same time with the Nova? Or do you still need to utilise the workaround by running an Aux cable from the Astro Mix Amp Pro’s Headphone Jack into the SteelSeries Nova Bay Stations Line-In port?
This new flagship is trash. Everything is dependent on the GG software which breaks all the time (my volume is stuck at 100% all the time for no apparent reason, audio cuts out inexplicably). They also got rid of surround sound pass through and left stereo? Just, wow… It takes less than a few hours of using this to know I’m returning these to Amazon and going back to my Arctic Wireless Pros. Don’t be a shill.
Ya, can't justify spending 350 dollars for a somewhat okay headset. On the flip side, a crazy good deal on Amazon right now, although wired, are the alpa 2 hyperx for like 60 something dollars....which is a crazy good deal...and in my opinion far better surround sound then any other brand. Downside, not wireless...but for your average gamer, best deal right now for headsets, and the quality is far superior than any other pro headset.
Headset is $350. Thoughts on that?
Still alpha gaming haa

Glad to see this review, been using Astro A50s for like 3 years since I got my GOXLR, seemed to have been the only wireless option with next to no latency. Going to keep an eye on this.
Similar with the Arctis Pro Wireless, there is 10-20ms latency over Line-in. Wondering how long it'll take until manufacturers can get rid of it.
YaI returned mine because of this and am wired now which kind of sucks, mid review here maybe these are better.
I also returned my Arctis Pro Wireless for the same reason. Annoying latency when mic monitoring

Yeah 12 hours of rendering sucks, I wonder if there are better alternatives out there that wouldn't take as long? Either way, it was a great video and I understand that you don't wanna hold off uploading a video for too long just to render down a RAW file
Looks amazing! Doesnt look too "gamer" and can actually be used in other occasions.
the fully retractable mic with it completely hidden alone makes it so much better
@@colbylynes absolutely!
I agree. I always wanted a nice multipurpose wireless headset and the only that really fit my needs was the Astro A50, but Astro headsets are so ugly so I never bothered. Will definitely be picking this one up when I can.
I’ve said this 100x, they need to have an internal battery in the headset that holds a charge when swapping batteries… shouldn’t have to turn headset back on because I’m swapping a battery!
This is an incredibly niche want actually. The battery lasting 10 hours is plenty for a session and for extended, swapping it every few hours when a bathroom break happens is good.
While it would still be convenient, it would completely destroy the purpose behind having easily removable and swappable batteries in the first place. The internal one will eventually give out which would lead to just more headaches than it's worth in design and use.
It's awesome you had a good experience so far, but my Arctis Pro Wireless headset broke after right around a year of gentle use. A quick visit to Reddit revealed there's a common point of breakage and it's on multiple models of the Arctis. I'd really like to know if the Nova Pro fixed that.
Steelseries replacement experience is not super great, when there was a feature malfunction on my Apex Pro keyboard, they asked me to cut its cord it in return for a voucher to buy a replacement from their site. But they were out of stock, so I would have had no keyboard for weeks to months.
I got the same problem with my arctis pro wireless it cracked around where the top piece connects to where it sits on your ear after 3 years but fantastic headset will definitely upgrade it soon
I've read about the Arctis quality in general and for me is kinda baffling considering I've had both an Arctis 3 and a Pro Wireless for years and the only problem I've had with them are the cushions breaking. Lucky I guess...
@@arekutheof555 Hope your luck continues. Maybe it's just people with big heads? My Pro Wireless seemed solid until they broke, and the breakage was almost like the plastic kind of just got really brittle. I liked them enough that I very strongly considered buying new ones anyway.
Have you tried mountin it upside down under your table?
Thats how i have it :D
bought a $60 pair of astro a10's, cant bring myself too replace em because everything else ive used doesnt have as good sound, or doesnt let me head footsteps as well in cs. I realise pretty much anything over $100 will be better but. for the price, the a10's dont have too many down sides for me
Already one big downside for me is the removal of the optical input. Think I'm sticking with the original Pro wireless. Thanks for the honest first impressions video 👌
USB is better than optical.
@@Jayheid98 the original had the option of both. So this is inferior
optical input AND output, that's even worth, can't use it as a passthrough anymore
The reason is because optical can only support highly compressed audio signals, especially for surround codecs. The format was never updated to support bandwidths.
@@Jayheid98 I've tried both on my pros and the optical sounds noticably better than the USB.
Did you know, the headphones actually have a wider frequency response range when wired compared to wireless.. does it make a difference though 🤔
I’ve had the arctic 7 for two years. By far the best headset I’ve ever owned and will definitely be picking this one up. Amazing review as always. Thanks!
why don’t you use audiophile headphones like streamers such as ninja (beyerdynamic dt-1990) and tfue? (sennheiser hd800s)
is it because wireless is that important to you? i’ve never found wireless for headphones while gaming to be an important factor
The latency issue happens whenever you use both USB and line in. It's the same on the old one.
I wonder if thats why everyone thought I was crazy...I always noticed the latency when monitoring my mic. But everyone else was like "idk what you're talking about"
Though Harris did say he used the Line In for all his audio, and then the USB would have just been for power, unless you can completely disable the USB side of things...which I kind of did and it didn't seem to solve my issue. Hmm. However you have shed light on this for me so thanks for that!
@@CapsLockKeyon I run all my audio through line and set the DAC to Aux, I don't notice any latency when set this way.
The Headphones look really nice, but I just got Beyerdynamic dt-770 pros and I am very happy with them, so I won’t get them
I was hoping for an open back version and I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Also prefer the mesh to the leather, but that's personal preference.
Doesn't EPOS have an open back wireless high-end headset? Those are very solid products without getting into amp/dac wired audio
@@PantsaBear yes they do
@@fps_scotland3429 No, they do not.
@@needsmoreclipping yes they do
These are absolutely a contender to replace my current Steel Series headphones. I have the Arctis7x for Xbox/PC. I love them, but they do not have HALF the features of these. I started on Xbox but have since ascended to pc and these would be a dope upgrade. New dono goal!
That latency would be a dealbreaker for me. There’s always going to be some delay when the signal is being sent over wireless but a noticeable amount is enough to feel weird for me
yeah 100% deal breaker for me
Did I skip over a comment about latency?
If the latency is worse than the previous version and some bean counters thought people wouldn't care and it's just saving money, then I'm out. Harris, what's the final word on latency?
Same. Had to sell my Arctis Pro Wireless because the latency threw me off when I spoke with sidetone on, and if this one is between equal to worse latency, then it has to be a nor for me. Sad though, cause every other thing about these steelseries headsets is amazing and convenient.
Actually been using the 7 and no latency problems with me specially cause im picky, but with this one ima go with a the wire version cause i want something lightweight
Nice headset, but I have tested it for 2 weeks together with the Audeze Penrose. Sound and soundfield of the Penrose is absolutely way and I mean WAY better. I would choose the Penrose over this headset any time.
Tried the Beacn mic and the real time mic monitoring with slight ms delay was a deal breaker for me. I can only imagine it being worse with a wireless headset. Sending the Beacn mic back today actually. Getting back to XLR real time - zero latency.
Any update on this, waiting for an update on the mic delay problem. Any fix? And have you tried the spatial auido more?
my only issue with the headset (arctis pro wireless, not the nova) is the internal mounts on the ear cuffs are cheap, mine broke in the first month so my cuffs are crazy loose and bounce when i take my headset off. obviously this could just be a fluke defect issue, but since i didnt get a warranty i was just screwed and have to tape my ear cuffs up so i dont risk damaging any wires
in my case like the start of the video, are the logitech pro x i have them since day launch and for me are the best headphones i already tried out the steelseries artic pro but for some reason i didnt like them
That "spacial audio" thing is basically how so of the other types of headphone surround (Dolby Atmos Headphone, the PS5's 3D audio, etc) work.
Check out something called HRTF (head related transfer function) to see why it works.
That size of a watermark is insane, put a little thing in the corner sure I get that, it's free trial, but at that size....its like them asking to be boycotted...(not sure if i'm using the right word there, but damnn)
I also own and love the pro wireless headset so and interested to see how you get on over time, as i have learnt over time the pro wireless are the most comfy when using for long period of time. Other headsets I have used have leather padding and they get too warm after a couple of hours.
Nice review except... Do they come with an ingame mic? Talk in it and compare it with your "expensive mic".
I have been using the Arctis Pro Wireless for years now, I love them!!! Altho I do not know if I will be upgrading unless my current set dies on me. Steel Series has the best headset in terms of I/O on the market, nobody is pulling me away until they match that. If or when I upgrade it WILL be a set of these unless there is yet another new set out.
PS5 users have desperately needed a premium option that is compatible with Tempest 3D Audio. The only real choices being the SteelSeries Arctis 7P and the Sony Pulse 3D which are at best decent to meh options. The Arctis Nova Pro being compatible with Tempest 3D Audio and having multiple inputs is huge. Also to answer your questions about XBOX Series compatibility, the XBOX requires a security chip for the headset to work. That's literally the only difference. One of the usb inputs on the transmitter is labeled XBOX and only works with the XBOX and PC. The other port is still compatible with any non-XBOX device.
I've been using it for the past few months. Headset feels and looks good, sounds great, battery life is good (maybe even last longer than the arctis pro wireless - comparing new to new), hinge fault from previous arctis pro's has been addressed (they added a little rubber for more flexibility, only time will tell if the hinge still breaks). The noise cancellation seems good to me but I have never used noise cancellation on other headsets before.
The ONE draw back I found so far - the ear pads need to be thicker as in the middle of the ear cup there is the noise cancellation emitter that protrudes outward and very easy rubs on your ear. I have read multiple complaints about this so be VERY aware and expect to buy some ear cups from "wicked cushions" or some other store once the baseline pads wear in and you start to feel the rubbing. Myself having the previous arctis pro's I 3D printer a plastic adapter and used the arctis pro ear pads I purchased from wicked cushions and was able to save a few dollars. I've had no issues with the rubbing since.
The new sonar software is awesome, cant express that enough.
The equalizer adjusts seems great to me - I am no audio-freak but out of the box I was happy with default. I did play around with the equalizer and it seemed to have a nice range of bass and treble.
I've even done the firmware updates and it went very smoothly (took a little time but just have to be patient). I did a firmware update on the arctis pro's previously and basically wrecked the audio quality of the headset, take that as you will.
What I like most, from the software you can easily set the headset as default device and then alternatively access your Realtek (for example) audio driver software and set your speakers back to default to just swap back and forth OR you can also use the sonar software and change the default output to your speaks from there. Lots of different ways to set it up which is awesome.
Hope that helps :)
Ps. I was going to give up on SteelSeries after the Arctis headset as the hinge broke on me. It was replaced under consumer laws(Australia) and they upgraded me to the Nova, which honestly surprised me. This headset & software to me seem leaps ahead of the old but if the hinge survives I have no idea. Hopefully there quality control has been upped. This is what the Arctis should have been, I'd be very happy with this headset (so far) even if it did not have the noise cancelation.
Thanks for the review! I've got the arctis pro with gamedac and I'm having the same issue with the hinges and I was looking for an upgrade but was a bit sceptical about the new nova series... Good to hear that it had been addressed in some way
@@Adi-kr5nd No worries, one other thing I've noticed over time is the head strap seems to stretch slightly, I'm now on the final notch of the adjustments.
Another weird thing which isn't really a problem but I find odd... When I tilt my head to the right 90 degrees, the right ear cup seems to have a loose item inside it which makes a little noise. Not really an issue as you never tilt your head like that really, just bizarre.
Overall though, sound quality along with the sonar software functionality really sets this headset miles ahead. Whatever team made that software did an amazing job.
i just order one and its amazing but i just wish it could adjust Bluetooth audio from my phone like in the arctis pro (the generation before this)
I honestly like how the old ones look better. These are obviously better, audio wise, but for $350 I would never buy a gaming headset.
True.
I'm torn on the looks. I will have to see when my set gets here today. I now need to offload the arctis pro wireless :/
@@vdub1962 gl, hope u enjoy it!!
If they fixed the damn white noise in the background, I’m happy.
Just a heads up the Best Gaming Headset part of your title is all 🖾's on the TH-cam app on my Firestick.
I've been running with a HyperX Cloud Flight Wireless for almost 3 years now, and I'm sure I could upgrade to something a bit more premium at this point but it really isn't doing me anything wrong so Imma keep running it. This headset looks nice but not sure if i's worth the price for me.
It is tbh ive been using my artic 7wireles since they come out and it the best money i could ive spend, and the mic ufffff flawlesss best mic everrrr in a headset, i told my friend about it and he not going back to other brands, i was worry about the durability in the 7 but nopee 💯 guarantee the best quality in a headset, and ive been wanting to upgrade but no other brand can compare to themij my view, ima get this ones but wire now
@@aka__maza2574 well atleats your headset dosent have dead battery after just 1 year or so of use (arctic 7 as yours ) also the mic dosent sound great but then again my voice is diffrent so it might be that, that makes my mic sound awful.
I like this. I really hate “upgrade culture.” if you having a working device, don’t upgrade.
@@lougou7698 i never had problems with mine, i usually charge it for a few hours and forget about it for 4 days and ive have also use it alot with the jack cable and no problems at all the only thing i recall is the volume knob and the headband but that is from years of wear but still flawless in quality, and the mic im comparing it to other headset ive havent found any mic compare to this and to record simple voice over is perfect too i think the mic is better then a snow ball and same quality as the yeti
@@whatskraken3886 cant agree more
Still waiting for Haris's follow up vid on these headsets :prayge:
Im excited. Ive been waiting for a new set to come out. I looked into getting the Pro wireless in about 2020, and saw they had been out a while. So i decided to wait. And im glad i did.
I"m super jeallpy for you & need to get this headset!
Love how honest Harris always is. Genuinely feel like a friend listening to his unbiased opinion. E.g. the feedback delay on the input he didnt need to mention that or the shape of the device for mounting on his desk.
I like!! Also if you see this Harris - i dont own a steelseries (hyperx cloud) and people complain about the headsets breaking above the earcup join. Durability is pretty key for me, is this one much better then the arctis pro?
I've had pro wireless for over a year and they haven't broke.
can u show how u connect the headset and your mic so u use the mic as a mic and headset as a headset for streaming?
Currently using the Arctis Pro myself with a GoXLR. Love the Arctis Pro and haven't found a better headset for my needs. Glad to see Steelseries improving the model and not taking anything away from it and at the same price point as the Arctis Pro I'll definitely be picking these up in the near future.
I just got this headset about a week after this video came out and thought I bricked the headset after doing a update. Lucky for me, that didn't happen but updating the headset seems to be a little tricky. The software would act as if the update had completed but then would show a update was still there and as it turned out, the software seemed to just bail on the update soon after it started. I had to make multiple attempts before the update fully worked and I was able to turn the headset on again.
I’d rather pay for audiophile headphones since I’ll always have a separate mic. But for those who like gaming headsets, these seem nice
I recently had to make the same choice. My Arctis Pro Wireless broke and wasn't available anywhere, and I decided to get the ath r70x instead.
Now that this headset is true I'm having doubts. This exains why my headset was out of stock and I've been missing some of the unqiur features. However, I love the sound of my R70x and I'm not sure if I want to go back.
I just watched an ad, I know they're not the best gaming headset, maybe the best wireless gaming headset
I bought the previous Arctis Pro (wired) with the GameDac because they had a 40% discount (presumably because of the release of the new headset). I love them. These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I wish I could afford the new model but for the time being, I am hooked.
Personally, i love steelseries, have the Apex Pro and Aerox 3 wireless, although for whatever reason, im not a fan of their headphones. Working in a retail store that has a huge range of gaming products and having tried on a lot of headphones, ive found Steelseries AND Plantronics to be the least comfortable. They fit quite loose (i like my headphones to be a little on the firm side) and found they put too much pressure on the headband. Their sound quality lacked a lot compared to other headphones in a similar price point, even being beaten by some lower priced headphones (more noteably the Cloud Alphas). The feature set of the steelseries headphones certainly are unmatched and thats what makes them great but, i rather a headset that has great sound and great comfort over any feature. Thats just my opinion though. Hopefully the Nova solves those problems and brings not only great features but better comfort and sound quality to the table.
I've been using Arctis 7 Wireless for almost 3 years now and wish I would've spent the extra on the Pro at the time. However, I have been recommending SteelSeries headsets to everyone I've talked to in the market for new ones. They have been unmatched by all the other brands I have tried.
I have the 7p+ and i dont like them lol. I want to try the out sooo bad but i don’t trust steelseries anymore🥲
the xbox version works on pc, play station, xbox and switch :)
So I have the pro wireless and here are my 3 complaints / wanted upgrades. Hope Harris does a follow up about 2 and 3 for this new headset, since they're pretty widely known at this point.
1. I don't use the mic or mute button at all, so I'd love a version that just doesn't have them.
2. The dac uses an OLED screen with UI elements always visible, so naturally those elements burned into the screen after about a year. It's not that bad, but it's annoying for a premium product to damage itself by design.
3. The battery low indicator doesn't come on until literally 5 minutes before the battery dies. This one is the closest to a real problem, as you don't always have a free minute to hotswap batteries when you need to.
1. You must be the only person that NEVER uses the mic, so no, why would they ever make a GAMING headset without mic. That makes zero sense...
2. Couldn't care less... Had burn in on my one, never cared... Once you set it up right, you never use it anyways...
3. It wasn't 5 minutes, but they could maybe lengthen it a little bit... I heard on this headset the connection won't even drop, if you swap the battery quicker than 8 seconds and that IS a huge improvement!
can you mount it upside down and ask steelseries to offer a firmware option to allow upside down mounting for the screen
They look rather nice, but I use a separate mic now so I have no reason for a headset anymore. The only reason I am still using my HyperX headset is because it's great and still work perfectly. Next pair will be a nice pair of headphones.
They look great though. Will be curious to hear if the sound quality will be worth the price tag.
I DONT HAVE ANY THING TO SAY ABOUT THE HEADSET BUT I WANNA LEAVE A COMMENT 2SUPPORT U
LOVE FROM KSA
I'm really interested how good the mic monitoring or transparency mode on this one is .. that is like the nr. 1 thing that annoys me with my current steel series headset: The sound just being waaaaay too silent.
Sadly these took a step back in mic monitoring compared to the arctis pro wireless. Its my one knock on them.
I tried them and they suck. My artic pro still my favorite.
I’ve been a fan of the steel series headsets way back since the Siberia 800s and have since been using the pro wireless and never had any problems, I’m excited they went back to the leather cups as they tend to be a little softer. Thanks for the review! Look forward to your thoughts after some extended usage.
How's the audio quality compared to the 800's? (I have the 800's)
@@MrDogtown22 I think for a gaming head set they’re great, they give a great range out of the box, but when you incorporate the software they get even better. Obviously they’re not audiophile grade, but if that’s what you’re looking for you’re gonna be looking at the higher end brands and not a gaming headset. But with all the features they offer as well as the sleeker design I’ve really enjoyed them. I use them almost every day, from gaming on Xbox/ps5/pc to just listening to music while I work or when listening to TH-cam videos. They’re not cheap but It’s rare for me to find a product that I can get behind fully and steel series has consistently made these better with every iteration.
@@MrDogtown22 My personal experience using their 800, Arctis Pro and Nova Pro wireless headsets. Worst to Best, Arctis > 800 > Nova. I'd say microphones from all three have been similar. To me the out of box audio of the Arctis was 100% worse than the 800's and the Nova is 200% better than the 800's when you also factor in Sonar. The 800 and Arctis both having hinge issues really wasn't great (Arctis being worse) and left a bad taste in my mouth. Nova's Sonar software makes up for those shortfalls and the noise cancellation is pretty nice too.
My A50s have a volume wheel issue... but I've gotten used to using high end headphones/speakers at my desk.... but I would love a wireless option where I can plug into my gaming PC and PS5 simultaneously. I might have to give these a go
Tbh I love the look of the old one waaay more. The ear cups looked so nice with no interruption and now it's a weird circle over it. Sad, they were the best looking ones on the market
I really wanna get this but I'm still waiting for the white version.
come to proper audiophile equipment
I don't think you know what "hot swappable" means. The arctis pro wireless shuts down during battery replacement.
You know what.. you’re the first person to point that out. And that’s totally true. I’ll stop saying hot swap.
All I care is hearing foot steps are this the headphones for me?
My Steelseries arctis pro wireless broke at the hinges after 8 months of normal use.
SS addressed this issue and have added a rubber piece at the hinge to help account for flexibility when taking the headset off (whether it works or not is a different story). I've had my headset close to a year now and all is good.
Harris make a vid on the New Rode interface for creators
Astros are my main. I dont think anything will replace them until someone makes the audio/ voice chat functionality they have. Sometimes i have to raise the voice chat sometimes the opposite. So useful i hope someone elses makes this
But you can’t use them if you want 4K 120hz on the ps5, I love astro I tried many headsets for ps5 but can’t find anything as good as astro on ps4
I have the old ones
I'm sure someone answered this already, but I haven't seen a comment answering reading through them yet. The reason wireless headphone products have a separate XBox one is because Microsoft has a proprietary wireless protocol for their wireless audio that isn't compatible with PC or PS4, so you have to have a separate wireless headset for it
Would have liked to see a mic test on the built-in mic. Also would like to hear about your opinions on instead of using a headphone that is "dedicated" towards gaming and instead of like an all round good headphone like the Sennheiser 6XX or 58x Jubilee or HD559, Hifiman HE400/HE400SE/HE4XX/HE5XX/HE-X4, or a Beyerdynamic DT series and pair it with something like an Antlion Mic or an Elgato Wave. With most combinations of the mics and headphones I said would come out to similar pricing to the Nova Pro Wireless. Its not really an apples to apples comparison between the 2 just bc it seems like the Nova Pro Wireless doesn't really have a competitor when it comes to raw features.
I just wonder how you would perceive the difference in audio quality and mic quality between one of the headphones/mics that I mentioned vs the Nova Pro Wireless.
not having a chatmix volume wheel on the headset itself is a deal breaker for me :( fell in love with my arctis 7s just because of that
It does if you press the volume wheel in. It switches volume wheel mode to chat mix. Press it again to go back to volume.
The microphone being lowkey and the Bluetooth option to use with phone is great addition. Good to know that companies hear us. I've wanted a good headphone for everyday use one I can game with and walk out and listen to my Spotify playlist on my phone. Not everyone can afford to have 3 different headset for 3 different purposes.
Yep! One of the reasons why I bit the bullet just now. Walking the dog, working out etc
SOLID transition of the water mark top down footage to the editing room!
What might make these retire my Sony XM3s, is the active cancellation.
I -doubt- they'll sound as good and have as good isolation, but I'm willing to try it.
Very sleek looking headset, love the look but it's a steep price whenever I have a perfectly working previous version of the gaming headset.... love the videos Alpha...
I don't personally like the aesthetic of these. Don't know what it is exactly, but I don't love it. That said, what a great feature set. It really is set apart from any other headset with just the swappable battery alone and everything else just widens that gap. It's enough to make me overlook the appearance honestly. If I didn't already love the headphones I use on my PC I'd definitely be looking at these
This guy just keeps getting heavier each month. He needs to workout
I love Steel Series. I burn them out pretty fast it seems, but I love the sound so I stick with them. I need new ones so bad and have been so overthinking which ones I want. I'm scared to go to Wireless due to the latency, but I also use a GOXLR so I don teven know how to set up the wireless. I didn't even know you could use wireless with GOLXR until this video so now i'll try it. I stream 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week listening to music the entire time and I've been looking to upgrade. Then you posted this. Perfect as always. Much love and Thanks
I have the headphone out of my GoXLR plugged into the line in on my Pro Wireless DAC and it works fine, just set the DAC to AUX, I don't have any noticeable latency.
I LOVE my Steelseries headset! Well worth the money!!
Holy crap that's no normal watermark, that's a WAAAAATERRRRRRRMARRRRRRKKKK!!!
Cowin E7 Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headphones, $40 to $50 best price. Pros, price for features. Fast charge. Cons: uses mini-USB charging port, but is standard. And no external battery for fast swap. Charge lasts got hours.
"Did They Just Make The BEST GAMING HEADSET Even Better?"
No, they haven't updated the PC38x.
Pls Help me i Buy a Nova pro Withe my Go Xlr But the Monitoring latancy drives me Crazy 🤮🤮🤮
@Senpai Gaming I too have the GoXLR with the SteelSeries Arctis Pro for years but food for thought I go from the GoXLR headphone output to the Headset base I have no latency.
What camera mounts are you using you have literally zero wobble even touching it… THAT is an undervalued piece of equipment…. I need this
I bought this headset because of you. It’s great. I love it.
These are the most uncomfortable part of headphones I've ever owned. Immediately regret the purchase and went back to my old Siberia 800 headphones
Don't 🎧 sound better using the wire rather than Bluetooth, especially where you're sitting at ur PC 🤷🏻♂️
Got them, they sound awful, sonar presets are not good. I miss my hs70 (fell and broke after 2 years of usage, Corsair RMA helped me for 2 years but when I was out of warranty couldn’t do much). Wish there was something else that can do Bluetooth and pc at the same time, that was the selling feature I wanted
Did SteelSeries finally let you use both the USB + Line In ports at the same time with the Nova? Or do you still need to utilise the workaround by running an Aux cable from the Astro Mix Amp Pro’s Headphone Jack into the SteelSeries Nova Bay Stations Line-In port?
I've always loved gaming headset aesthetic but i just cant switch from my studio headphones and IEMs.
This new flagship is trash. Everything is dependent on the GG software which breaks all the time (my volume is stuck at 100% all the time for no apparent reason, audio cuts out inexplicably).
They also got rid of surround sound pass through and left stereo? Just, wow…
It takes less than a few hours of using this to know I’m returning these to Amazon and going back to my Arctic Wireless Pros. Don’t be a shill.
Yeah I'll definitely get this when my current headphones stop working. I'm a fan of high-quality immersive audio quality.
Ya, can't justify spending 350 dollars for a somewhat okay headset. On the flip side, a crazy good deal on Amazon right now, although wired, are the alpa 2 hyperx for like 60 something dollars....which is a crazy good deal...and in my opinion far better surround sound then any other brand. Downside, not wireless...but for your average gamer, best deal right now for headsets, and the quality is far superior than any other pro headset.
