Great headset for any platform
I bought the Arctis nova 5x to use for my PC. The feature to switch between 2.4 and Bluetooth is great. If you use the Bluetooth on your phone and have the headset in 2.4 mode, it will still notify you if you get a call. The headset is lightweight and comfortable.

Honestly really nice but
My biggest issue is the cups are a little too thin for me and they hurt my head. Now that is a me issue. So other than that I like the way they sound, I get zero complaints with chat. The software makes a huge difference. I just wish they fit me better. I had to use some thicker aftermarket cups but they don't sit right. The factory ones are comfy just thin for me.

Overall good headset
I bought it a month ago and needed some time to get into it. Because I have some difficulties with the microphone and it only gets loud when I connect it to my phone or disconnect it. It's very confusing. But in general a good headset

Lightweight, great sound and connectivity
Great sounding headset and very comfortable to wear. Im using 2,4Ghz on my PC and bluetooth on my work laptop, and switching is easy. The retractable microhpone works well too, all in all the best headset I've ever owned.

Love this new headset
I wanted a lightweight and comfortable headset to use with my Xbox while I walk on the treadmill. This thing is super comfortable even for long gaming sessions, the microphone filters out the treadmill noise well, and it's super easy to swap between my Xbox and phone with the mode switch. Love it!

Great for PC and XBOX
Bought the 5X to use it with my Xbox Series X and also with my PC. It's workinging great with both systems, you only need to click the little button on the dongle when switching from one to another.

Top gaming headset
The SteelSeries Arctis 5X has been a great surprise for me. The sound is clear with nice bass, and I can easily hear footsteps and small details in games. The wireless connection has been very reliable and the battery comfortably lasts through several long gaming sessions. Comfort is a big plus: the headset is light, the earcups are soft, and I can wear it for hours without feeling squeezed. I also really like the retractable mic, which sounds clear to my teammates and hides away neatly when I don’t need it. If I had to point out a downside, it’s the mostly plastic build, which doesn’t feel super premium, but it keeps the headset light and hasn’t caused any problems so far. Overall, I’m very happy with it and would recommend it if you want a comfy, wireless headset for gaming.

Buy from somewhere other than Target
Do NOT buy this from Target; buy it somewhere else. Target shipped it to me with an anti-theft device attached that makes it impossible to open the box without cutting the entire hang tag off. Looking up the device, it’s meant to be removed by the customer, but it’s impossible to get off. I attempted to pry it off & all I achieved was damaging the hang tag & cutting my finger. I wish I would have bought this somewhere else.

Pretty good one
Very satisfied with this headset; it's the second time I've bought it. It's very lightweight and high-quality. Both the mobile app and PC software are feature-rich, the mic is great, and the 60 hours battery life is legit! Switching between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz with one click, simply perfect.

Great Headset!
Bought this headset as a replacement for a broken headset of a competitor. Couldn't be happier with my new Nova 5x. Perfect build and sound quality. Big feature is the app which allows you to tweak your settings on the fly.

Great wireless range!
I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The wireless range is the biggest positive surprise — I can move around my home without any dropouts, far beyond what I expected. Switching between 2.4 GHz mode and Bluetooth works flawlessly as well. It’s quick, smooth, and makes the headset extremely versatile, whether I’m gaming or taking calls on my phone. The battery life is excellent too. I barely have to think about charging, even with long sessions. Overall, the Arctis Nova 5 delivers great performance and convenience. Highly recommended!
