That mic sounds significantly better than previous iterations.

@unwrapdontiktok2256 21 день назад

great review especially on the mic part. I still feel like it's far behind the nova series and higher end razer headsets, but those are more costly. The mic sound really staticky with lots of pops.

@chencg179 23 дня назад

Hopefully there’s a way to allow sonar presets for the other novas. I use gg on my laptop for my nova 7’s. My favourite headset thanks to ur videos. And that’s coming from the old Arctis pros. Just not sure if they made these presets for the 5’s only

@JudasOmega 5 дней назад

Hey dude! As always an amazing and detailed video! I just picked mine up today and I'm so excited to get them home.Gotta work a night shift fist and then it's on! Just wanted to let you know that there was an update for Engine and it all seems to be working fine now. I hope it works for you and everyone else. Keep being awesome and have a good one!

@loconius 23 дня назад

Agreed, that sounds way better, I wish it had simultaneous Bluetooth audio!

@ElFrencho 23 дня назад

The mic on the Arctis Nova 5's the best one SteelSeries has ever done for a headset. They must've learned a lot after making the Alias standalone mics.

Hi I wouldn't get these I would get the flagship nova pro wireless I just picked up the new white ones and I'm sure not downgrading to get these the only thing good about these they have alot of presets but so does the nova pro wireless but if you don't have money then get the nova 5 if you can afford the nova pro wireless get those the white edition there awesome stay safe and happy gaming to all

Gonna grab myself a pair of these I think. 🤔 Need a replacement for my 5 year old Turtle Beaches. 😅 Great review. Nice detail. 💯

@SemiAutoOutlaw 21 день назад

Would be cool to have an app for the Nova Pro Wireless. I play on PS5 & it would be a bit more convenient to scroll through presets on my phone than plug into my Mac or play around with the DAC IMOP.

@marcuscx9643 22 дня назад

The mic sounds so good but what’s killing it is it picks up too much background noise. Can’t wait to see how the mic sounds on the Atlas Air! That’s what I’m going for

@nobby8368 18 дней назад

Thanks for the Review. Pulse Elite or this one ?

@Apfelloch 17 дней назад

This is exactly what I'm asking myself right now. I don't even do gaming that much and mostly need a wireless headset for working from home. These "corporate MS Teams certified" headsets are pretty expensive, not really comfortable (I need over-ears) and mostly use Bluetooth. Last week I decided to look for gaming headsets, that are relatively cheap (~$150) and don't look too much like gaming. Just yesterday I saw Technes review on the Pulse Elite and they looked and sounded promising. When searching through Amazon I came across the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 and they look also pretty decent. This is the first review of many that I'm about to watch, to finally decide which headset I'll choose.

@justinsaiyan5587 12 дней назад

Ok bro I’m gonna trust you.. I’ve been looking for a headset for the last few years and have been so overwhelmed with options that I couldn’t choose one ha. This seems like an ok price and a quality wireless option. Hope these work out 🤞🏻. I bought my keyboard because of you and I LOVE it. Hopefully this will make it 2/2 ha

@justinsaiyan5587 12 дней назад

@drunksquirrel2051 22 дня назад

@TheTechne 22 дня назад

no, but I hope they make an update too them all. But will more than likely be just for future releases

@repsac0258 22 дня назад

Hopefully should I upgrade from the 7p to 5 ?

@Amaz1ngSp1derC 21 день назад

I plan on holding out until they make the changes in Nova 7s. I use the simultaneous Bluetooth function a lot. Being able to game while sitting through those zoom trainings is a lifesaver 😂

@nhoffman0677 23 дня назад

Random question, but I think you have said you play Diablo 4. Do you have a preferred mouse for it? I normally use my GPX2, but I think I need an ergo shape with how much clicking I do and something with quieter switches.

@TheTechne 22 дня назад

I do play fair bit of diablo, and last epohc, but I always use controller. But I did try them with some mice, and I really enjoyed it with the SS Aerox 5, gave me a few extra buttons for abilities but nothing overboard

@acscw8408 23 дня назад

Sonar is the app that comes with GG on windows. The eq u see in the nova5 is its own capability.

@TheTechne 23 дня назад

These sync with sonar on pc, that’s also how you make/save a custom eq

@Brandonisodd 19 дней назад

I have been using an Arctis 1 Wireless headset for years now and love it. I am interested to see how people feel about the head band fit vs the old school fit of the arctis 1?

If I tweak the headset on my PC will the settings go to console too? I have this headset and have been loving it just a question I had.

@Luminated 23 дня назад

I've been looking to replace my old Logitech G X pro wireless headset and have been flip flopping between the Audeze maxwell and the Arctis Nova pros. Thought going higher end would be the best since I've never really had a higher end headset. Idk if I should just stick to the mid range with these or pull the trigger on something higher end now. If only the mic was better on the Nova pros, it would make for a much easier decision.

@r3ikobomb 23 дня назад

Sound will be considerably better, but by no means are midrange set a slouch in audio. Also thinking of the mic, if you really need a top notch mic, you'd probably need a desk mic and are streaming or recording for other content. If not, a mic on any midrange or high end set will be suffice for game/Discord chat. You won't be hearing yourself anyway. Really, if should boil down to the additional features. I swung to the Nova Pro Wireless because of better range as I galivant throughout my house while listening to music or RU-vid, but also have simultaneous Bluetooth so my ADHD brain can consume IG reel/TikTok at the same time while listening or gaming.

@SkySoFew 23 дня назад

I've been using the nova pros wired since launch and they're by far the best headset I've ever used.

@Luminated 23 дня назад

@r3ikobomb the features for simultaneous Bluetooth is super appealing because my job usually has me on call all day, but I game in my downtime, so sometimes it's hard to take a phone call when I'm in game. I'm heavily leaving towards the nova pros because of that feature alone. How is the mic quality for phone calls though? Is it bad?

@chencg179 23 дня назад

Nova 7’s sound incredible. I swapped my pro wireless for them as they have more depth and fullness which I like as I play single player now not just apex. The price is inbetween the 5’s and pros. The pros are better in the highs for sure though.

@kennethwooley8242 22 дня назад

@MrH-GB 2 дня назад

I just ordered these after the hinge on my Razer Blackshark V2 broke after 4 months, so they're going back to Amazon. I never liked the noise isolation on them anyway, I like to hear my surroundings a little bit.

Wish they would update the Nova 7 with that microphone. I love my Nova 7x but microphone quality has gotten so much better with recent headset releases. Don't think I would want the Nova 5 due to the all plastic build.

That small dongle is all fine and dandy, but I MUCH prefer the wireless dongle of my SteelSeries Arctis 9. I can plug my speakers into that dongle and it is VERY nice. When I turn my headset ON, i have sound in the headset, and no sound in the speakers. When I turn my headset OFF, I have sound in the speakers, automatically, no need for switching speakers on or of or anything, it just WORKS. Please get that functionality back :)

What do you think? Nova Pro Wireless for Xbox or the 5x? Which sounds better?

@SaifSKH 3 дня назад

I think the Nova Pro would naturally sound better as it’s twice as expensive, but as of which one gives you a better value, the Arctis Nova 5 packs a lot considering its price, it’s gonna give you probably the best “price to performance” out of any other headset You just gotta ask yourself whether you actually need some of the more premium stuff on the Nova Pro and whether the difference in sound quality is worth paying twice as much as the Nova 5

@drunksquirrel2051 19 дней назад

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.
