SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for Xbox vs SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless

Verdict

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for Xbox offers unique features such as removable batteries and simultaneous connection support, making it a standout in the gaming headset market. However, some users have noted issues with Bluetooth audio control and microphone placement. The headset has received praise for its sound quality, mix amp, and active noise cancellation, but some have found it lacking in comfort compared to other headsets. While the price may be steep, the headset offers a range of features that may be worth the investment for those in search of a difficult niche product.

Verdict

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is a highly versatile wireless gaming headset with a handy transmitter, Bluetooth compatibility, and wired connectivity as backups. It offers a low-latency wireless connection for gaming and can mix audio from a console and a mobile device at the same time. The dual batteries and ease-of-use with the DAC battery swap out are highly praised. However, there are some unfortunate flaws such as the creaking in the right earcup, the paper-thin plastic swivel points on the earcups that will break within 24 months, and the housing that can crack easily. Some reviewers recommend going for a different brand headset, while others highly recommend the Arctis Pro Wireless.
