I think the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is a fantastic gaming headset. The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless has a luxurious appearance and is made of sturdy materials. The ear cups are very comfortable and provide a spacious sound.
Sturdy and luxurious headset When I held the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, I immediately noticed a difference in materials. The Nova has a metal housing that feels very sturdy and luxurious. Despite the metal housing, the headset is not heavy and you hardly notice it when you wear the headset. Not even during long gaming sessions.
Comfortable ear cushions When I set up the Arctis Nova, I immediately noticed that it closed very well. Thanks to the memory foam, the headset molded completely to the shape of my head. In addition, I played for hours and never experienced warm ears or pain from pressing on my glasses. The battery is hidden in the ear cup and lasts up to 22 hours. You charge the supplied battery with the GameDAC that you also get, so you'll never be without an empty headset.
Nice spatial sound I tested the Arctis Nova with 2 games, namely Uncharted Legacy of Thieves and Fortnite. I was really curious about how the 3D audio in Uncharted would sound and I was pleasantly surprised. The Nova really provides a nice spatial sound. I walked in Uncharted in an old clock tower with a lot of echo, which could be heard clearly. If my character or another character walked through the tower during a conversation, you could really hear the voices distorting and bouncing back. Also in Fortnite I heard very clearly where shots were coming from or where cars were driving. My teammates could not always hear me well and it sounded like something was in front of my microphone. But this was never a huge hindrance.
GameDAC works nicely I had never worked with a GameDAC before and I was afraid that I would really end up in a jumble of menus. Fortunately, it all worked out. The menus are well-arranged and very clear at a glance. I easily adjusted the settings and it is also visible all the time how the balance of the sound is distributed. I also thought the charging of the battery in the DAC was a nice addition.

Doesn't live up to the high expectations of the price. Does many of the premium features well, but falls short in the basics. Significantly less comfortable than previous Arctis headsets, and the pads are not easily interchangeable.

All-round top headset, of course for the price.
