SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless Multi-System Gaming Headset — Neodymium Magnetic Drivers — 100+ Audio Presets — 60 HR Battery — 2.4GHz or BT — ClearCast Gen2.X Mic — PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Mobile

I was using Sennheiser Epos G670's prior to this. That was a terrible experience. The retractable mic is genuinely a lifesaver so I don't look like a total dork with a massive dongle hanging in front of my face while I have a standalone mic. The sound stage is decent, it's comparable to most mid-tier IEM's, arguably worse than the Sennheisers I had, but its still a very good auditory experience and allows you to pick up on many things that would usually go unnoticed. The comfort is next level though. No headset dent, doesn't leave gaps around my ears where my hair gets pushed out of the way, surprisingly lightweight. Stellar battery life. I use them on average 5-8 hours a day, and need to charge them once every week or so, and even then that only takes 30 minutes. The software (Steel Series Sonar) is absolutely top notch. I was using it prior to acquiring this headset and I only have incredible things to say about it. Multiple audio channels so you can have spotify playing with a custom EQ, and your game on a totally different one. I play Rainbow Six Siege at a semi-professional level, and that software really is a gamechanger in terms of being able to pick up on very subtle things in whatever game you play. This is 100% a must buy for anyone considering it.

Great headset overall. Sound quality is clear, battery life lasts a long time, and the wireless connection stays stable with no noticeable lag. Very comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions, and the controls feel responsive and easy to use. The mic quality is solid too. Definitely worth the price if you want a reliable gaming headset.

The sound quality is excellent, with clear audio and great detail while gaming. They are very comfortable, even during long gaming sessions, and the wireless connection is stable and easy to set up. I also really like the ability to use them with multiple systems. The battery life is impressive and the microphone works very well for chatting with friends. Overall, a great wireless gaming headset and definitely worth it.

I’ve bought several wired and wireless headsets trying to replace my old Astro A40 Gen 1s. Those things have incredible sound and mic quality and have lasted forever with nothing but new ear pads and a new cord. But I’m tired of having a wire running across my desk, so I started hunting for a true wireless replacement. I tried a bunch of headsets: some wired, some wireless from big-name brands, and while the sound quality was usually good, the microphones always fell short. Almost every pair I tested had the same complaint: “The mic isn’t clear,” or “you sound far away.” I ended up returning all of them. I even went through Reddit threads, YouTube mic tests, and a dozen “Top 10 Headsets” lists. I compared those recommendations to Amazon reviews, where even 4- and 5-star headsets often have tons of comments saying the mic is garbage. After watching real mic test videos, I decided to try this headset, and I think I finally found the one. The features are exactly what I wanted. It’s wireless, and it works with pretty much anything thanks to the Bluetooth and 2.4GHz dongle options. Switching between them is literally a tap of a button. The comfort band on top is a huge upgrade over stiff foam padding and keeps pressure off my head, so no headaches. And the microphone hiding inside the earcup? Genuinely awesome. It stays protected, doesn’t stick out awkwardly, and pulls out smoothly when needed. Controls are easy: a volume dial, a one-tap mute button, and a power button that only needs a couple seconds of holding. The basics are done right. Sound quality is great for both music and games, solid bass, clear mids and highs, and overall it sounds more like using my desktop speakers than a typical gaming headset. The real test, though, is the microphone. I hopped on Discord and asked the same question I’ve asked with every other headset: “Can you hear me, and do I sound clear?” For the first time in a long time, I got: “Yes, you sound like you always do.” Finally. Check. On top of that, the software gives you a ton of customization. You can choose presets, adjust EQ, tweak mic quality, and personalize everything from desktop, web, or mobile. It’s a lot more than I expected at this price. Battery life hasn’t been an issue at all. I haven’t charged it once in five straight days of use, including multiple gaming sessions each day. Even if it needed charging, that wouldn’t bother me because everything else checks out. For me, this headset hits every key point I care about. It’s not even at a premium price, but it performs like something that should be. Definitely do your research, because a lot of premium-name headsets have great sound but fall short in the mic department. This one finally delivers on both.

It's not often that I'm mad enough to write a product review. Here's the thing: this is objectively a great headset! It's comfortable. It sounds good. The microphone sounds good. The battery life is amazing. And none of that matters because the drivers/Sonar are so completely, embarrassingly, utterly bad. I've forgotten what it's like to turn my computer on and have the audio simply "just work". I've wasted countless hours of time at this point messing with the settings every time I turn my computer back on trying to get the headset to pair and windows to output to the correct device. Sometimes it completely breaks windows to the point where it says "there's no audio output devices". It's ridiculous. I should not have to spend 5 minutes messing with the settings every time I turn my computer on to get the audio to work. Fix Sonar. Fix your drivers. No one should buy your products until you do. If you do buy this, do yourself a favor and just use it over bluetooth. Don't install Sonar and try to use the wifi adapter. Oh yeah, except you can hear the microphone feedback by default unless you download their stupid software, so then you have to deal with that.

Mixed feelings on this & partly because of my set up I'll admit. Positives: The sound is really good (but has an issue) and the mic seems to be solid with really good noise cancelling. Headset is comfy with good pads and nice adjustment. I was surprised that both the headset AND mic were good since usually the mic is kinda bad on gaming headsets. Mic even tucks away so if you want to listen to some music? It works well for that too. Negatives: The good audio quality isn't something you'll notice if you just plug and play. No, you need to get the app and that requires you to make an account and log in (yay more data collection!). If you don't mind that? It's fine, just annoying that you need to give data after paying $150 for this. And if the service ever goes away? You can't utilize the benefits given by the app. Other issue is the dongle that it comes with is very wide, so when slotting it into my USBC port on my laptop? It blocks the other port. They give you a USBC cable to extend it away but it's clearly for a desktop as it's quite long and ya know- something you don't want hanging off your laptop or adding to your bag. So if that sounds like an issue, prepare to spend a few bucks to get a small USBC cable to keep your ports free. The app: The app despite having to make an account and all that is good. You get a volume control for all the software so if the game is too loud and you can't hear your friends or vice versa? You can adjust each slider, including music/video. And it genuinely does make the audio sound WAY better. I tried it out the box and I thought folks were insane for saying it sounds good, because it wasn't anywhere near $150 good, till I signed in. Suddenly it sounds very nice for games or music. Lets you hear where badmen are and gives you good bass and all that. Do I recommend this? If ya need a headset with a mic, yes. Works a treat and packs away well. I do still lean toward getting a good pair of headphones and a mic- but having an all-in-one is also handy, especially for wireless. I just hate that it's yet another thing trying to scrape data off customers, ya really don't need my email and all that so I can use my headset.

I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless for a bit now, and it’s turned out to be a really well-rounded headset—especially if you switch between different systems. The biggest highlight for me is the versatility. It works across PC, PlayStation, Switch, and even mobile pretty seamlessly thanks to the USB-C dongle and Bluetooth. Switching between devices is easy, although you do have to toggle between them rather than using both at once. Sound quality is solid overall. It’s not ultra-premium, but it’s clear and balanced enough for both gaming and casual music. The companion app with tons of audio presets is actually useful—you can tweak the sound depending on what you’re playing, which adds a nice layer of customization. Battery life is honestly one of the best parts. It lasts a long time—I rarely worry about charging it—and even a quick charge gives you hours of use. It’s rated up to around 60 hours, which feels pretty accurate in real use. Comfort is also typical SteelSeries—lightweight with a snug fit that works well for long sessions. That said, the earcups might feel a bit small if you have larger ears, which is something a few users have pointed out. The microphone is better than expected. Voice comes through clearly for chat, and background noise is handled pretty well, making it solid for multiplayer or calls. On the downside, it doesn’t have some premium features like active noise cancellation (on all versions), and it’s not meant to replace higher-end audiophile headsets. But for the price range, it hits a really nice balance. Overall, this is a great mid-range wireless gaming headset. It’s comfortable, flexible across platforms, and packed with useful features without being overly complicated—definitely a strong choice for everyday gaming

These headphones completely blew my expectations out of the water. I'd been previously using open ear headphones and a standalone mic for gaming, but got tired of fiddling with the mic and moving it around my desk, just for people to struggle to hear me. I also was getting tired of wires, so enter the wireless Artis Nova 5. Wireless Performance is absolutely fantastic. With the 2.4 ghz dongle I never have connection issues. Battery life has performed better than expected. I typically only charge them after 20 hrs or so of gaming, so it's basically an afterthought. Sound quality is also better than I expected. The good news is it's completely customizable via SteelSeries EQ software either on your phone or desktop, so you can tailor the sound and clarity to your exact application. Quality of the headset is fantastic. I would be somewhat careful with them, as you should with any lightweight headset, but they seem very durable for daily use. I've never had any issues after over a month or use.

Bon son, agréable à porter

buon articolo e funziona bene, buon suono. Sono contento

Leichter als das Nova7. Klang technisch kein Unterschied feststellbar. (PC) Auch dank der Sonar GG Software. Wer mit Kunststoff klar kommt kann sich die €100 Aufpreis sparen. Dafür bekommt dann auch ein leichteres Headset

Tiene un app que tiene configuraciones para distintos juegos , yo lo uso para Apex legends y suena muy bien , se nota la calidad de audio
