Overview

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless represents the upper tier of gaming audio, combining premium Hi-Fi drivers with a Nova Pro Acoustic System tuned for both competitive gaming and immersive single-player experiences. The headset features a 4-mic hybrid active noise cancellation system that effectively isolates game audio from environmental distractions, with a variable Transparency Mode that lets you dial in how much outside sound you want to hear. The retractable ClearCast Gen 2 microphone uses AI-powered noise cancellation through SteelSeries' Sonar software to filter out background noise from your voice chat, and tucks neatly into the earcup when not needed.

What sets this headset apart is its ecosystem approach. The OLED Base Station serves as a command center with dual USB ports for connecting two platforms simultaneously, allowing one-button switching between, say, a PC and a PlayStation. The Infinity Power System includes two rechargeable batteries—one in the headset and one charging in the base station—so you simply swap them when power runs low. Dual audio streaming lets you maintain a lag-free 2.4GHz gaming connection while using Bluetooth 5.0 for phone calls, Discord, or background music. The frequency response of 10–22,000 Hz and 360° spatial audio support (including PS5 Tempest 3D and Microsoft Spatial Sound) round out a headset designed for gamers who want no compromises in their audio setup. This renewed unit delivers that experience at a reduced price point.
