The Bluetooth amplification section of the headphones was completely blown when I got the first set. At first things sounded scratchy like it was using the very first BT protocol ever tested. Realized it has no APT-X or anything else mentioned, and was sad that they have crappy BT. By day 3 it refused to work. I could hear what was streaming at about 1% volume - the BT amp had clearly died completely. Luckily that happened fast so I just did an Amazon swap. 2nd headset is perfect. BT and Xbox blend better than any previous set I've had (Turtlebeach, Anker Soundcore, Bose). The desktop contol unit is great, and you can control most of it from the headset also (wheel is also an enter button but it lacks a back button). You can control sounds with presets or just edit the 12 or 16 band EQ by hand. Awesome for me who likes a mostly flat response but needs a boost in the high end as I get older. And tweaking the bass so it's nice but doesn't crunch is handy. Very comfortable, but a fabric type cup would be worth considering as an upgrade if the fake leather causes skin issues.

I have owned more than a few gaming headsets over the years. From Astro, to Razer, Xbox and Sony branded, and the like. Most recently the contender was the Audeze Maxwell headset, which while phenomenal, was just a bit heavy for prolonged use, and lacks the feature set of this headset. I purchased these a second time for the Mrs. after feeling confident they would hold up a long time.Where to begin? well, the sound quality is great, number one. In a headset that's pretty high on the list of things to look for. The comfort, REALLY great., Especially with some after market earcups. I went with cushions from Wicked Cushions ( you can find them on Amazon, I have no affiliation ). The reason for this was i found the ones bundled to get a bit hot and the aftermarket ones just solve that.A really large feature that never gets old is the hub that serves the purpose of digital EQ display, volume, balancing, wireless connectivity, and battery charger. The headset comes with two batteries, that each last a long long time on a full charge, but most importantly, you ALWAYS have one charged and ready to go. Gone are the days of having to tether for a session because you forgot to charge the headset or put it on a dock. You always swap them out with one another so it just removes that issue.One thing I am using constantly on the headset, as many people do, is the mute button. The retractable microphone on the headset has LED light that emits red when it's muted, making for a quick and easy glance to know you are muted. For anyone who needs to take care of personal things in the middle of game time, that peace of mind is actually more worth it than you might think.There are multiple pieces of the headset that you can swap out for custom colors and a more personalized look as well. The earcup covers that hide the battery and usb port, and the head strap are easily changed out. It also has the ability to dual pair to your phone through bluetooth, so you can pipe in music or take a phone call while using it with your PC or console.Overall honestly this is THE gaming headset I would recommend to pretty much everyone willing to shell out a few bucks for one that works with all the things ( PC, Xbox, PS ). Could not be happier, and the two my wife and I have get lots of use and enjoyment :-)

The wireless hiss from the regular Arctis Pro Wireless is GONE. I kind of miss it because now all I hear is my tinnitus when I put this thing on. Noise cancellation is not the best, but it does its job decently and the transparency is useful for when I leave my room with my headset on and someone starts to talk to me. A quick two clicks of the power button and transparency is ON. A single click, it swaps to noise cancellation.The only issue I had with it initially was weird, high pitched warbled sounds coming from the battery in my right ear whenever I'd use custom EQ settings. It was very faint, but enough to drive me crazy in silent scenarios. That WAS until I went onto the steelseries website, downloaded their GG program and saw that there was a firmware update for my headset. I was going to return the headset entirely but the firmware update fixed the issue completely, just SILENCE now when using those EQ settings.I guess there was an "issue" where the Nova sets my Windows 10 volume to 100 and doesn't allow me to change it, but I read that it's because you can lose some audio quality setting the volume that way, and it's better to just control the volume directly from the base station.All in all 8.5/10 headset - again, noise cancellation is not the best but it works. Ear cups were alright, but I purchased some third-party airweave ones for $30 that are also bigger and they fit perfectly.
