These have quickly become my favourite wired gaming headset to use on the PS5, replacing my 7P+ headset. Today we’ll get these unboxed and talk about the design, comfort, sound, mic quality and all included features. I’ll also include a mic test, which is the best mic I’ve used.

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed it.
Definitely one of the best tech reviewers on RUclips. I always enjoy your videos. Respect from London
Another fantastic video 👌 was looking forward to this review after your Twitter post.
I was actually thinking of getting it for a second then I saw the price
Edit: Can anyone tell me if the arctis steelseries 1 is any good
Fourth
Is it better than the astro 50 ?
You put so much effort into all of your videos that no matter what you review it's entertaining and I learn alot! Keep up the good work man.
Hah thank you
Great video. Bought them as soon as they released, and they make not only gaming amazing but also make streaming on twitch much much easier. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for gaming headphones.
That’s awesome to hear too
@@SpawnPoiint are you planning on making a video of your custom settings? Always curious to see what people make
Thank you for the video! It helped me set mine up!!
Because of your videos I ordered LG C1 48 inch and SteelSeries Arctic Nova pro without worrying about anything, thank you for everything
That's awesome! Great items too, enjoy.
Love watching or just listening to your videos, even if your reviewing something I’m not interested in
Thank you 🙏
Thanks… very thorough review. One of the only i could find that discusses plugging directly into controller. Excellent review of headset 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Great review as always! I legit haven't missed a video since last year!
Thanks for watching

I have a 7P+ and i love it! Thanks for the video!
Great headset too
Pro headset. Amazing review man and you’ve got me tempted to grab these!
Thanks for watching

Great review. Thanks for the info! 👍🏻

I recently bought a wireless gaming headset (Hyperx cloud flight) and believe me there isn’t turning back.
Nice video as always 👍
I am considering getting a hyperx cloud 2, is it worth buying? I would use it for gaming and music
thank you so much for your review :)
amazing review thank you
Nice "pro headset" review Chris. Getting closer than ever to 300k.
Hello. Your setup looks very nice and clean. Keep it up
Thank you 🙏
I love your videos 😊❤
Pro Headset
Thank you for all your review!
I actually got these after your review video but I got the wireless so thank you mate :-)
The Nova Pro Wireless has a rocker for game/chat audio which is really handy. Lovely review as always!
Only for Xbox*. It doesnt work for PlayStation.
What is a rocker?
@@bOrtiz0826 that’s unfortunately the game changer for me. Looks like it’s either Sony H9 or Pulse that have that proprietary technology.
Love the video as I’m a fellow ps5 gamer no gaming pc so I can relate highly to it
New sub. Great video. I'm considering these, like to see the wireless too.
Good review, thank you
Thank you John
I always appreciate how much effort you put into your videos
Pro Headset 🎧
Thanks for watching
Dm☝️for more info
hey i really enjoyed this video, i was wondering if you can give me the eq settings you use when you play cod to hear footsteps more clear and louder. and another question you showed that you can create a custom eq setting on pc. can i create a custom eq setting on pc, save it then go back to my ps5 and the saved pre set will be there? thank you
Your a great youtuber to watch about tech to learn about it
Such an underrated tech reviewer great work 👍👍
Ikr, the aesthetics of his videos are so freaking clean!
Thanks all, I appreciate it 🙏
Pro Headset 🎧
Great review man !
Hopefully you can do the wireless review as well, I'm looking forward to that.
I hope so too. Thank you
Ogs know how much effort he put into the thumbnail
Alibaba
Could you show your eq settings on the DAC? i just picked this up and this is my first high end headset with a DAC, enjoy your content and trust your opinions on settings
Great review! Can you also use the Wired version for Discord on PC and gaming audio on PS5? Can you have 1 usb for audio and the other usb for the mic and audio? Or do you need to use the USB1 on the pc for discord and the Line in for the audio from the output of the monitor using the 3.5 mm jack cable?
Thanks for the review. Is there a delay in audio transmission? Logitech wireless uses LIGHTSPEED technology and they claim latency is similar to the wired version. How are things going with this? Can they be used for professional athletes in e-sports? Or is only the wired version suitable for esports?
Thanks for the video. Answered a lot of my questions. I have both a PS5 and xbox series x. Would you recommend this headset for both?
Hey great video! Do you have any plans on reviewing some of the Sony Inzone products specifically the monitor and H9?
I do have plans to yes.
Excellent video Spawn, how do they compare to the 7p+? Worth the extra $$ and the inconvenience of wires? Also is the wire long enough to use with tv about 6 feet away? Thanks.
For me they are better than the 7P+ (for sound) but for the wires/DAC and TV setup it's a no from me. If I can get the wireless version (but they are £350!!) they would tick every box.
So when you spoke about Warzone and directional ability to hear footsteps, were you using 3D Audio at the time?
Dose the volume control both game and voice chat or can you adjust each separately???
Great video!Im considering these....does the wireless version of these not sound as good?
These look great, just curious why did you not get the wireless version?
Was hunting for a new headset for my online gaming etc. I normally buy Sonys headset for the ps5 but thought I’d try something new. Think I’ll head out and grab these today. Cheers for the video, also gave you a follow due to how great your vids are. Cheers buddy
this really put my mind at ease with my purchase, as my astro A50 gen 3s decided to break yesterday..
did you buy them? i'm using astro a50 (gen 2 or gen 3, not sure) and was considering switching, but I heard a lot of people hurt their ears with the ANC driver digging into them
@Silent to be brutally honest these Headphones are absolutely Incredible the fact that I can switch between my PC and PS5 with the turn of a knob is one reason why I bought these and the sound quality truly blows the doors off. The SONAR software you get to adjust your frequencies help that you don't get damage to your ears..
These headphones ticked all the boxes for me. I wanted the wireless ones but price wise these just made sense
@@prme_evl4331 oh I meant physically hurting their ears, as there was a piece of noise cancelling hardware popping out of the earcup. Apparently they are comfortable for you since you didnt notice haha. Thanks for answering!!
@Silent nope didn't notice anything popping out the ear cup. They are definitely more comfortable then my astros were. My ear lobes use to be quite sensitive after a 5hrs session but haven't had the same experience with these so far.
Thank you for video and showing off this headphone.
- How loud does this get? As I would be upgrading from the RIG 800 headphones.
- Does the headphone need to be plugged into the base or does the base act a signal and the headphones can be plugged into the controller without the base?
- Do they sound good for watching movies with?
- Can these get loud enough to the point when sound starts to leak out of the ear cups?
Apologies Are All Mine for all of the questions.
What do you have to do to pair these up with an Elgato? Do you need the chat link cable to capture audio for videos? And is it different if you get the wireless? (Do you need a special adapter like for the Astro a50s)
Thanks for watching
Dm ☝️for more info
Great video, Can you tell me the length of the cables please?
How does side tone go on ps5? It’s something I’ve found really inconsistent with headsets on PS - I would like to know it works as intended for the nova pro
Great reviewer!
Thank you 🙏
@@SpawnPoiint so welcome, I click and every video you upload even if I’m not interested in the product 😂. Keep up the great work!
don't own a PS5 but still watching
Keep up the good work man 🙂
I appreciate that 🙏
Great video. If I buy the wireless version of these headphones does the dock have to be plugged into the PS5 at all times to function?
I love the way he takes his time to explains everything 🙏🏾🔥
Thank you for watching 🙏
Hi great vid, nice black ps5 too! My setup has me sitting about 5 feet away from my ps5 so would that be too far for the cable from the gamedac to the ps5 to reach?
Pro Headset 🤘
Any luck on scoring the wireless ones?
In the wired plus DAC vs wireless war for me, wireless usually wins because I like to be able to move around without fiddling with the headset just so I can get a drink or let the dogs out.
Don't even have a bloody PS5 yet but am I fussing over what headset to get already? Yep.
Great video, man. Glad I stumbled across you. Your stuff is both comprehensive and concise, which is freakin rare.
Thanks for watching. I'm still using the wired ones (as I use them 100% of the time at the desk setup), but I do plan on getting the wireless for the TV setup. Would be good to compare them too, to see if there's any audio/mic differences. Thanks again for the support.
Have you had any issues with yours? When we reviewed it on our channel it was flawless - now though we've been having distortion issues happening when playing games on both PC and PS5. At one point the gaming noise from the PS5 turned to 100% white noise until we reset the headset.
Not had that issue yet no. I've put maybe 50+ hours through them, and they still sound great.
Simply loved the video ,Your narration is the best there is. Btw I love the headset but its too expensive for my liking, just stating the blatant truth lol.
So is it possible to connect them with the DAC as well as an Elgato cable? I will probably get the headset anyway, but that would be massive bonus points :)
the first thumbnail was nice too:)
I’ve swapped back 😅
I'm new to steelseries but steelseries released an article about how Sonar EQs will be available so you can use them for console. Is this true? It's a recent article. Within months.
i want to buy them but im still thinking about it. Because you got the wireless fursion to. what is the best option for ps5. i know that the wireless headset cost a 100 dollars more or so. So the quation is it is worth it to buy the wireless one for 100 dollars more. Or is the wired headset the best option to get. The headset im using right now is the astro a50 wireless. But after using them for almost a year im not a big fan of the battery. And before i forget nice review of the wired headset!
where can i find that subscribe graphic?
Hello, thanks for giving us honest and detailed reviews!
I would very appropriate if you can help me with my doubts.
After i bought Arctis nova 7p, I didn't like how loose they are and sound is kinda leaking as my ear cannot fully go inside the hole. Also i could hear mic sidetone background white sound always, since i am using sidetone, which is important feature to me. Ps5 party members says they hear some background white noise before and after i talk, like the sensitivity of the mic is very high, and i cannot reduce sensitivity in Gg app.
So i ended up returning them back.
Now i am thinking of Nova pro wireless if they will not have constant background white noise which sounds like radio or something...
Or maybe turtle 700 gen 2 max, if they will not have that sidetone constant white background radio noise, than i will go for them? Please help me, thanks in advance!
I’ve followed/subscribe and watch your videos faithfully for tips….keep doing your thang bro.
Thanks Brian
Can you test out connecting the Sony MX 1000 series headphones directly into the dac
Great video. I recently bought the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max but was not impressed with the audio quality. This review lead me to exchange the Turtle Beach for the wireless Nova Pro model for Xbox and wow. What a difference in audio quality and design. It works seamlessly when connected to both my Xbox and PS5. The swappable battery is so convenient. You’ll love the wireless model. I’m lucky I saw your video within my 14 day return window.
That’s absolutely awesome to hear. I need to test them out now.
My steel series 9x keep cutting out so looking for a new set of cans...was actually debating the nova pro wireless or the turtle beach 700 gen2 max. You're saying the nova is the play?
Mate are you sounds not majorly distorted on consoles? It sounds fine for me on pc but on the ps5/xbox it's vile. Completely unusable, the sound actually hurts your ears.
I don't believe you. The Xbox uses its own proprietary audio and therefore you can't really use it with both PS5 and Xbox series consoles.
@@Adronomics The Xbox version of the headset works on both Xbox and Playstation.
I have been thinking about getting but the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7X Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming & Mobile Headset
Would you recommend these or the epos h6pro headset? I am looking for a good comfortable headset but I am scared to buy these as I found the steelseries arctis 7p+ headset to be extremely uncomfortable and had to return them.
The headband is reinforced with metal, which feels really premium
As someone who can't stand clutter I just couldn't do it with the clear inability to clean up the cables coming from the DAC. I'm sire they sound great, I have the 7's and 7p+ but I'll stick with my PC38x.
Thanks for watching

In your opinion regarding the 360 degree spatial audio, do you think its better or worse than the kraken v3 hypersense thing with the haptics and THX spatial audio? No one’s really done a comparison as im aware of.
Hi, what are your desk dimensions? because i'm looking for one similar to the same monitor
Instead of having the analog cable connected directly to the headset, is it possible to have the cable go from gamedac to the monitor and use the headset wirelessly? Reason for asking is that I use an elgato capture card playing on PS5 and I would like to have a wireless headset and controller setup while able to capture game audio while either recording or streaming.
Hey spawnpoint! I just wanted to hear ur thoughts one whether or not u prefer these over the arctis 7p plus or vice versa. Love ur videos, keep up the amazing work!
I definitely prefer these now. I’ll be selling my 7s soon
@@SpawnPoiint personally I love my 7p plus, they're the best buy I've ever had! But it's nice to see they have good competition, ty for the reply !
Can you use the headphone on PC and PS5 at the same time? For example, can I use discord on PC while playing a game on PS5?
Do you hear a difference between the wired and wireless? Looking to upgrade from the Nova Pro 7P
Nice video. I noticed you have AirPods Pro Max- are they OK for casual gaming?
Good spot. I’ve never used those for gaming, only for music or watching RUclips etc.
Hey how do you edit mic audio?
Is this headset good for console gaming and not just for pc gaming sometimes when i switch from both there is audio differences and I'm really thinking about getting these Nova Pros for PS5 and PC use an answer by anyone would be much appreciated thanks.
I can get the same tv/monitor as you yet yours will still look better than mine. I have the LG oled c1 and I swear the quality isn’t nearly as good as I see on RUclips vids. I have a ps5 btw
Nice where did you get the wooden controller holder?
I’ve added the link to the description now
I'm having a issue where I can't adjust the balance between headset chat and game sound on PS5 any ideas as to why I can't adjust the bar?
whats the name of your desk and where did you buy it ?
Salut, est ce que on peut balancer des presets pour des jeux différents directement dans le dac ?!
Merci
Are these better than the Astros A50?
does the chat mix work on ps5 with headphones? because I would really like to be able to control the game sounds and voice directly on the gamedac. or is it mandatory to settle directly in the ps5?
What is the microphone like on PlayStation party chat? Do your mates think it is ok? Got these and on series x they sound pretty distorted/crackly on party chat compared to my Astro A50s. Yet they sound fine on PC when listening to recordings of it 🤷♂️
How u set it up?
Do you make it home? Thank you settings for the FPS games.
Are you able to hear your pc and ps5 audio at the same time with these?
Have you tried Airpods Max for gaming? How good are they for gaming? I guess it would be a nice video if you review them.
Love your work btw.
I’ve never used them for gaming actually.
Just bought them but when I try to select one of the preset audio it will never save that audio I picked. Can you give me any tips on how to save that selection. If I choose apex it won’t be there when I go back to check it’ll be on smiley or flat. I can’t hear footsteps like others do.
I recently bought the headset and was able to adjust the headset per sonar on the PC. But when I'm connected to the Ps5 and change the eq settings on the gamedac, the sound doesn't seem to change at all. Do I have to consider or adjust a setting in the Ps5? Do the eq changes need to be made on the pc for the ps5? Does the headset itself have to be connected to the cable for the changes to take effect?
How about the settings within the ps5? Do you use linear pcm? How about audio channels? 2.0, 5.1 or 7.1?
I also wanna know this, can't find it anywhere :(
My next purchase for sure. I need a new pair of headphones.
Would you choose thses over the astros a 50 x or do you what’s overall your best recommendation for a PS5
Do you have any 0 delay side tone in this headset and if yes can you control its volume independently?
Thanks for watching
Dm☝️for more info
@SpawnPoiint what is the best headsets that works for both PS5 & Xbox Series X
Please answer ASAP as today is the black Friday and I would like to by one
Hey I'm using it for the ps5 and people can still hear my pc fan in the background and background sound how can i fix that
What’s the best between these, the Astro a50s and the Razer Blackshark v2 pro
@Spawnpoiint can i disconnect the usb cable from the headphones while playing? because I am at a long distance. Thank you
Alright here is an edge case...I have an USB hub.. When the DAC is charging the spare battery there is not enough power supplied to the hub and my keyboard and mosue keep freezing because of it. Any ideas? can i boost output from USB form MOBO?
What preset do you recommend for single player games?
