The main concern is the fact that you can get the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless with support for Playstation or Xbox but not both. It's clear, detailed, clean, and comes with great bass response. It might not have 300 hours of battery life but its 20 hours of use per battery can be extended for as long as you want since you can hot swap batteries while still in the middle of the action.Īnd, like most SteelSeries headsets, we found the audio quality here to be top-notch no matter if you’re gaming or listening to music. It even tests the limits of how long you can wear a headset before charging. It comes with active noise cancellation, the ability to connect to two different sources and mix them in together at once, and a noise-cancelling mic that can block out the clicky-clack of your keyboard. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is an impressively feature-filled affair. All of the frequencies are represented well, with a bass that’s incredibly present, highs that are clear and detailed, and mids that sound full. During our review, we found that even with stereo hardware, it manages to maximize that Dolby Audio 7.1 capability for an immersive experience. It terms of sound and surround sound performance, it absolutely slays. This is one of the best wired gaming headsets right now, sporting Corsair’s new elegant design, a flip-to-mute mic that’s intuitive to use, luxurious memory foam leatherette ear pads, a lightweight form factor, and a 3.5mm connectivity that you can turn into a USB connection via the included 7.1 surround sound USB adapter. This absolute stunner of a gaming headset punches well above its weight not just in features but in sound quality, making it a must for pretty much every, including those who can afford the pricier options on this list. It’s hard to believe how much the Corsair HS65 costs considering the many advantage you’re getting from it. But, if you're willing to pay the price for audio that even audiophiles can't resist, this is the PC gaming headset to get. Make no mistake it's still pretty pricey. The only difference here is that since it is wired, the price of entry isn't as steep as on the wireless version, making it more accessible to those who don't have deep pockets. And, it's also incredibly comfortable and luxurious feeling, so we honestly do not mind wearing this for hours on end. Add in the Spatial Audio feature, which you do have to enable via the supporting software, and it's a whole new immersive experience that we haven't really experienced with other headsets with surround sound. This gaming headset delivers hi-res audio, which means that you're getting crisp and highly detailed sound, whether you're gaming or consuming music and movies.

We are currently still in the process of testing the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, the wired (and therefore less expensive) version of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, but it's already evident that it's the best gaming headset on the market right now.
