SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless Gaming Headset Multi-System PC, PS5 Magnetic Neodymium Drivers Over 100 Audio Presets 60H Battery Life 2.4GHz or BT ClearCast Gen2.X-Mik White

Update after a few weeks use: Overall still very comfortable and light, no problem at all using this for hours on end (after changing the ear pads). Sound is good and precise. A couple things are annoying; - The button to toggle between bluetooth and 2.4 mode is placed exactly where I normally put my thumb to pull the headset on/off, so often I will accidentally click the button and have to click again to cycle back to 2.4 mode. - The mic picks up every tiny little sound and activates, seemingly no matter the setting. The Discord overlay in-game shows my avatar constantly blinking from me clicking the keyboard or moving a little, but my team can't hear anything coming through the mic. It would of course be worse if sound also came through, but the blinking on all of our monitors is annoying enough. I just mute unless comms are needed to avoid this. - The mute button is also placed where I would normally put my thumb to take it on/off, just on the opposite side of the Bluetooth/2.4 mode button. I keep muting/unmuting when taking headset on/off, and almost every time I put my headset down on my desk I accidentally un-mute. Think I will just get a headset holder to avoid this, as I really don't want to hang anything on my monitor. Factor in a set of replacement earpads in to the base cost of these, because the standard ones that come with the headset is utter garbage; scratchy fabric, uneven height on the foam, far too squishy and too shallow. I have normal sized ears that doesn't stick out at all, yet my ears touched the headset hardware. I spent less than £20 on replacement 'cooling' earpads, they are 100x times better and absolutely worth every penny. Outside that, the headset is really great so far. Very easy to connect and set up with the GG software, fit my head just perfect without clamping too hard(I wear glasses so that would be a dealbreaker), and feels very light. Value for money seems about right. The sound settings are near endless with loads of presets for different games, very clearly defined directional sound. All in all a much better sound experience than with my old Corsair HS80 that I had to replace after just over 2 years. I will update this review after some more use as it has only seen about 10 hours use thus far.

I'm just pleased with the battery life, I've used it for about 16 hours continuously in one working day just to test it, it kept going the next day for about 3 hours more, they're lightweight and comfortable to use, unfortunately I don't like the full white so got changed the ear cushions and headband in black, sound quality is 8 out of 10, a bit low volume but depends of the device they are connected, mic quality and clarity over discord are crisp. Cons: not so good background noise block

Was completely board of Razor products and their lack of durability, most lasting less than one year. The SteelSeries have out-lasted my others with no sign of ware. The sound quality is great and the connectivity is too, battery is long lasting and quick to charge. The microphone quality is also really decent for a headset. I have a smaller head too so these were extreamly comfortable with the adjustable strap!

Really really good headset, I could not recommend Steelseries Arctis Nova line more. I have 2x different models in this line, the Nova Pro and this one. Both are really really good for both general and gaming use. Can get loud, not flat sounding, and with the app you can customize the equalizer even further. (For anyone who likes high-pitch and curved EQs, I recommend googling the Latin EQ profile! Works rlly well). However, To any women who buy this, be very cautious about the white model. Face makup or hair related products can really really really easily stain both the ear cups and the actual headset material.

Very good product, one annoying thing I have with it, is that it added multiple sound channels and no matter if I turn off the headset, the channels are active. If I want to use speakers, I have to manually switch to desired sound output. With previous headset from Turtle Beach, I had no such thing. Microphone is good, but not the best. They are very comfortable, even more than Turtle Beach that I had. I'd say, buy this headset if you're on the market for one, but wait for the price to drop or get some discount, like black Friday or something.

Very good quality but if kit. App is handy to tailor your experience

Worst audio quality i have ever expienced sounds like everything is muffled and dround out music sounds terrible games are terrible everything sounds so raspy they arent comfy ive had many headsets over the years but these are by far the worst i have ever used

I bought these few months ago and am really happy with the purchase. I bought them mostly for WfH and sound quality in calls is great. But I enjoy wearing them for watching videos or listening to podcasts as well. They are very comfortable, I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. The battery life lasts forever. I never had them run out of battery and I charge them very irregularly. They are easy to connect and to configure because it's only very few buttons and works quite intuitevly. The only thing I am missing is that you can only connect one bluetooth device at a time. I have a Jabra headset at work and that can connect to several devices at once, which is great for using it for my private phone and work laptop simultaneously.
