Thank you all that have came by for this extravaganza, is was so much fun, but I’m ready for a break 😂 I hope it was helpful, thanks again!!

You forgot to test the Corsair HS80’s vs the nova pro wireless 👀

@ReconWarrior26 2 года назад

I loved the extravaganza! Very helpful to know the differences between different products. And I know you need a break, lol, but one headset I just thought about that might be a nice comparison would be the SteelSeries against the Corsair HS80's (and no, I didn't read the comment above mine, lol!). Different price bracket, I know, but it would be nice to know anyway. Thank you for what you do and the time you put into this!

@TechGuy42ilm 2 года назад

Thanks so much for your hard work. I just picked up the nova pro wireless and returned it but got the wired. I have the virtuoso xt and man the sound on the wired compared to the corsair is phenomenal. The details I hear with the nova pro wired is crazy. I guess I never knew what I was missing.

I had buyer's remorse and returned my wired Arctis Nova Pro's w/GameDAC. I have the OG Arctis Pro w/GameDAC and I swear, unless I'm an OCD Audiophile, I could NOT tell the difference between the 2 headsets using my personal custom EQ settings (in terms of sound and immersion). Plus $250 is quite a price tag for an upgrade. I say if you already own a pair of Arctis Pros w/GameDAC, it's not worth the extra $250. But that's just me. Thanks for the awesome review, Techne!!

This has been fun to watch Techne. I’ve never been able to stick with a Arctis because of the lack of height adjustment. These new ones fit much better. I think the wired version has a lot of advantages for me personally. Ability to change pads, no ANC nubs…no ANC nubs, better sound, $100 cheaper, no ANC nubs, better microphone, oh and no ANC nubs.

On the Wireless Pro, I upgraded to the Nova’s Wireless and had to return it because they took out the MixChat feature for PlayStation and that’s a huge flaw for me. the other 2 disappointments where the feeling of the new controls and the feel of the base, they both felt less premium than the OG. everything else I was very excited about, but unfortunately I went back to the OG and probably will wait for something else. Thanks for the review brother.

After trying the Nova Pro Wireless and the original Pro Wireless, I prefer the original. The ANC nub was really annoying and they didn't feel as comfortable. I even tried the Hyper X Alpha wireless, Even though that one was more comfortable than the nova Pro's, It had an issue on PS5, where every few hours it would just disconnect, The sound was also really muddy on the Alpha's. I decided to just stick with the Pro Wireless that I already own and got the VZR headset to use in the meantime. Hopefully we get more comfortable options next year for wireless headsets.

@K----- 2 года назад

With the base station for the new wireless it's nice that they gave it a slant for the screen to make it easier to read in most cases. Now if only the dial was at an angle too. Whenever you press the dial you have to hold the station to not push it back. Kind of a major oversight for something that is $350.

@xleprosyx Год назад

I havent tried the new one yet, but I have had two pairs of the old pro wireless. I LOVE the headset so much, but with one major flaw for me and my big head. The spot you pointed out where the old pro looks like it want to break (where the metal hook meets the ear piece) has broken twice on me over time. My second pair hasn't completely broke yet technically, but there's a crack that has formed in the plastic right by where the metal meets the plastic and I know over time it'll snap. Probably not the case with people who have smaler heads than I do, but if you got a pretty big head, its something to keep in mind. Hopefully with the new ones having all plastic right there, there wont be as much presure on the plastic ear cups

@76c 2 года назад

Thanks for the great video but there are some explanations that i want to do for you and others watching this video, you should’ve tested mic of the wired versions headsets because they’re much better then the wireless version, less noise + less compression + much more clear voice. you can notice it in the other videos like that you made like the the “steelseries arctis pro vs wireless” 11:00 & “WHAT VERSIONS SHOULD YOU BUY? Steelseries arctis nova wired VS Wirless” 3:11

@stevep927 2 года назад

Let me say Techne is my favorite reviewer on U Tube .After trying every headset known to man including the Astro a50's I settled on the A20 wireless from Astro. I have a big head and found these to be the most comfortable. The sound is plenty good for me. I had been using the Arctis 7 but got tired of the clumsy power button. Was able to buy a 2nd usb dongle so I can use these on my PS5 and PC with just one headset. Bought them refurbed at Amazon for 65 bucks.

@miketoulouse7815 Год назад

Hey Techne. Love the channel man. LOVE IT. Exactly the kind of reviews I was looking for. I do have a question about the arms on the nova pro wireless. I have a set of the original Arctis Pro Wireless all of a sudden the mic is messed up. so I watched your video and then I bought a set of the Nova Pro Wireless. But I am seeing a lot of reviews where people say that the arm breaks. Do you think the build quality seems flimsy in that area. Is it something to worry about over time? Just wondering if you would comment on that.

@rage_kage_games Год назад

Re: the build - My point of break is exactly what you said - the plastic busted on my Arctis Pro wired right where the metal joint connects to the earpiece! But I loved these headphones for everything else so thank you for this video as I decide what to replace them with!

I own both the wireless versions. I’m taking the new nova headset back to Best Buy. The nova version does have more bass like he says but not by a lot. I like using the sidetone function on my original headset, but for some reason I can not get it to work on the new nova headset. No matter what setting I put the sidetone at it all sounds like it’s off. I’m just happy with my original head set. One more thing with the new nova headset when you power off the headset the Bluetooth function stays on. You basically have to turn off the headset twice in order to fully power off the headset.

@YoloVib3s 2 года назад

For my workflow & gaming needs I require wireless headsets. When I was only using my headset for gaming/media consumption after work it was fine.

Thanks for all the help with these videos, even though the decision is still tough when for instance the viruoso xt and the penrose have better audio sound. I had a broken pair of the wireless Astro A50 Gen 3’s. Bought the wireless Nova Pro, really wish I could handle a wired headset with my setup or I’d have bought the better set to save $100. Still pleased with my purchase and hopefully updates help make them even better. Do you think these are the second best WIRELESS headset AFTER the Penrose though, or does another set take that spot? Prefer the better/extra features, better wireless range, etc. the wireless Nova Pro has over the Penrose.

They are a bit secretive about the DAC and how they prove the audio difference. It’s very hard to find any info about the chips and the differences. They don’t advertise it. They both play HiRes audio at the same sample rate so theoretically unless the sound difference is in the chip it’s being done via the software. Thank you for the honest video very few reviewers have done compared the old and new, much appreciated.

I currently have the Astros A50's and have been using it for many years. I just got a ps5 and I am heavily leaning towards getting the Arctis Nova Pro Wired headset. Although I will say I think the mic sounds better on the Astros. I will also miss the voice to chat mix I can adjust right from my headset in the middle of a game. Which leads me to 2 questions I have: 1. I hear about being able to adjust the chat voice to game sound mix using the base station on the Arctis "while" on PC. Can I do the same while playing on a console (ps5)? 2. Any eq and mic sound changes I do to the Arctis using the sonar software ....will those changes carry over when I use it on console?

Hey Tony, my old wired pro's just broke, just checking to clarify. You consider the sound quality of the nova wireless better than the old wired version with the dac? Also, have you tried using the wireless ones wired? Is that a process that works properly and do you consider the sound to be superior to the wireless? I love the sound quality of the wired pro + gamedac. But having the option to go wireless would be great. Don't want to sacrifice the sound quality I experienced on my old ones though.

I used to be a sucker to upgrade everything to the latest & greatest, but losing my main business to Covid has made me re-think significant purchases - I don't think the jump warrants the big spend. In the same way my RTX 2080 4000 USD laptop doesn't need upgraded to or looking at specs my oneplus8 Pro isn't enormously different to a Samsung S22 Ultra. My rule now is any upgrade I make needs to be PS4-PS5 level of upgrade.

Hey Techne, I’m late for the party but I’ve just watched all of your steel series extravaganza videos! I just had a question, I have both PS5 and Series X, and I’d love to have a good wireless headset that is compatible with both. Nova Pro seems like it checks all the boxes: wireless, compatible with both, two separate connections so switching between consoles is easy. 7X also appears to be compatible with both, but you lose the extra battery for uninterrupted gaming, and looks like you have to physically reconnect the dongle each time you switch consoles. My question is, is there another wireless headset I could be looking at, or are these two my only options? I could’ve sworn that the Astro A50s were compatible with both consoles, but maybe not the more updated versions…

One thing I feel wasn’t talked about is that the wire in the old ones feels really thin, they tangle really easily compared to others. So I probably wouldn’t go for the new wired one again with steel series.

They make all the wires in all there peripherals replaceable, but yeah my old arcits 7 cord ended up in the vacuum bc it got all tangled up.

I have the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless and to be honest, the biggest update i was looking for was some sort of material lineing instead the battery change earcup compartment. As I would say 99% of people change the battery when they hear the beep with the headset on and just to hear that clacking and thumping when you changing the battery is annoying. I do enjoy the headset but the very minor differences isnt enough to upgrade, Im happy with the Wireless Pro.
