I hope you review the Atlas Air first. Been really looking forward to an open back wireless headset for a long time now and already have it on pre-order so I'm hoping it's as good at FPS as the Stealth Pros while also having a really nice microphone 🤞🏼

@jamesstevens968 13 дней назад

Hi I hope you play on pc because these atlas are mostly for pc I'm rocking the nova pro wireless fir my ps5 and the astro a50x but haven't touched the astro a50x since I've been using the nova pro wireless I have the new white edition nova pro decked out in the snow white wicked cushions and the snow white silicone band and side plates awesome if you can afford them astro a50x too much bass so I don't think these new turtle beach are going to outshine the nova pro white edition I don't want to downgrade but stay safe and happy gaming to all

Hey Techne, excellent video as always. Not sure if you pointed this out, but another drawback(correct me if I'm wrong) with the Nova 7's is that you can't load any of the recently added presets via PC to the 7's either. I think that option was only capable with the Nova pro's to the basestation.

@o0wildy0o 10 дней назад

Even the nova Pros aren't true parametric EQ on console when saved to the dac those profiles are just still graphics Eq they made for the pro with the same names as the sonar parameric Eq for pc, nova 5 and astro a50x at 380£ are only two current headsets I know that can save them, surprised he didn't make a bigger deal about that in this vid. At 130£ it's a no brainer over the nova 7s now

@DadBodGamingCollectibles 15 дней назад

I recently bought the Nova 7X for my PS5 and love it. I was wondering if the app on PC for it, when making or using the premade or custom profiles, ( per frequency tweak or per game name like Destiny, etc) actually carries over to the headset for consoles? Same question about the new 5X.

@chencg179 15 дней назад

I used the gg engine on my laptop to EQ them for ps5. Gadgetry tech did a good EQ for these. It just fixed someone of the wonky sound and they sound much better. If you like a clean, natural sound

@chencg179 15 дней назад

And yes it does save to the headset. I tested by making the worst eq possible then went back to ps5 and safe to say, it works 😂

@Platinum_Squid 2 дня назад

Thanks for this review. I was thinking: oh shoot I should have gotten the 5x but then you brought up that they don’t support duel inputs and I feel good about my 7x again. Yeah it’s kind of a niche feature but once you get used to it like I did with my old Arctis 3 BT (that was an aux cable and Bluetooth duel input style) it’s hard to go back to other headphones.

I have the nova 7p and have for about a year. Added the wc ear pads and headband. But my biggest complaint is the loose fit. I have a small head, so when I put my head just down they slide right off. Also I've been told the mic picks up the baby monitors on stream amd in party chat. The other thing the nova 5 doesn't have is a 3.5mm wired capability. It's important to fight wireless interference

Had 7p for a month, sent them back and got nova 5x for PS5 due to the better mic and app support However, I'm not happy with them already and gonna go back to nova 7p because: 1. Headband fits more tight on head and I have a large head, , I get headaches in a hour with nova 5. The all plastic has less clamping vs metal 7 band. 2. Elastic head band is cheaper and doesn't fit as good as nova 7, its too long and allows less adjustments. 3. Ear coverings are cheaper and more rough feeling on skin, not as soft as nova 7 4. App has a hard time connecting to headset if you don't follow exact steps 5. Setting custom eq still requires pc connection, cannot be done on app.
