My Review
I’ve been using the Arctis Nova 5 Wireless for a while, and overall, it’s a solid headset with a few strengths and minor weaknesses. I’ve been using the Arctis Nova 5 Wireless for a month, and overall, it’s a solid headset with a few strengths and minor weaknesses. Sound Quality: The sound is crisp and detailed, especially in games. The 360° spatial audio adds a lot to immersion; you can easily tell where sounds are coming from. Bass is punchy but not overwhelming, and the highs are clear. Music also sounds good, though not as rich as some higher-end headsets. Comfort and Design: It’s very comfortable, even for long sessions. The adjustable headband and lightweight build help a lot. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, which is great for extended use. The design is sleek and clean, typical of SteelSeries. Mic Quality: The microphone is decent for gaming chats; clear enough, but not studio quality. It retracts nicely when not in use, which I like. For streaming or recording, you’d probably want a dedicated mic, but for Discord or in-game voice, it’s perfectly fine. Battery Life and Connectivity: The battery life is excellent and easily lasts through long sessions without recharging. The wireless connection is stable, and the low latency is impressive. The dual wireless (2.4GHz + Bluetooth) feature is super convenient; switching between PC, console, and phone is smooth. App and Customization: The SteelSeries GG app gives a lot of EQ options, which lets you tune the sound to your preference. It’s user-friendly but can sometimes lag or need restarts. Verdict: Overall, the Arctis Nova 5 Wireless is a great gaming headset for the price. It offers strong sound, comfort, and battery life, with only minor downsides like average mic performance and a slightly clunky app. If you want a wireless headset that works well across platforms, this is an easy recommendation.

Good product
SteelSeries makes really solid products — the performance, comfort, and overall build quality feel great. I’ve been enjoying using it so far. My only concern is long-term durability; it feels sturdy, but I’m not sure how well it will hold up over time or with heavy use. Hoping it stays as reliable as it seems now.

Great Audio
Had an older arctis model, and had to replace that 1 with the Nova 5. And this new headset has much better audio and a longer battery life.

This headset has completely changed my gaming experience. This is my daily headset that I use for gaming and just listening to music or podcasts. The battery life is outstanding.

So easy and nice to use
I bought this about a month ago and I couldn't be happier, I love the feel of it. I have a pretty big head so I was so excited that it fit me with its extensions and that the sound quality and mic quality were better than any other headset I’ve owned so that’s a plus and my friends love me more for it now lol I don’t have static when I talk and I can properly hear footsteps in my games. The battery life on this bad boy is also amazing cause I game quite a bit and the battery life is 60 hours so I can just game all weekend then plug it in and never worry about it dying on me and if it did they give you a long cord to charge it while you use it.

great sound!
Bought this for a friend who had a headset that was constantly cutting out on him. Since he started using it we've been able to hear him clearer than ever and he doesn't have any issues with it. Definitely recommend any steelseries headsets.

Awesome headphones!
I bought these recently to go between gaming on PC with friends over discord, to using for daily watching shows or videos. They've been amazing, have some great battery life and we're super easy to pair

Steelseries forever from now on
Went from razer to SS base tier. Lasted me ages. Recently upgraded to the Nova 5 what an incredible headset, good for music walking around the house with the type C adapter, amazing for games really clear. The software is so much better than others and it consistently connects and doesn't mess with the PC settings. Amazing sound quality and the wireless mic is unreal, friends noticed a different straight away. Side tone is perfect but everything is customisable right out the gate. Love it. Steelseries loyal now. Just need to invest in the other peripherals now ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great features, and overall a great headset
It is a very nice headset, with good support for multiple devices (bluetooth and 2.4GHz). Unfortunately it cannot play audio simultaneously from both sources, but it is still very nice. The notification sounds (connected to device, disconnected from device) do not block the audio stream of the current source, which is nice, because on my previous headset, connecting sounds blocked the audio stream.

I love it
The Arctis Nova 5 is flat-out one of the best headsets I’ve used in this price range. The battery life is ridiculous — I’m getting multiple days of gaming and music without even thinking about charging. The quick-charge feature actually works too, which is a lifesaver when I forget to plug it in. Switching between my console, PC, and phone is smooth. The low-latency 2.4 GHz connection keeps gaming snappy, and with Bluetooth ready at a tap, I can take calls without touching a cable. It feels like SteelSeries actually thought about how people use headsets day to day. Sound quality? Solid. Out of the box it’s a little bass-heavy, but the EQ presets and custom tuning in the app fix that fast. I love being able to pick a profile made for the specific game I’m playing — it’s a nice touch and actually noticeable in shooters. The mic is clean, teammates can hear me without background noise drowning me out, and it tucks away when I don’t need it. Comfort is good too — lightweight, soft pads, no sweaty pressure points after long sessions. It’s not perfect: noise isolation isn’t great, so if your room is loud you’ll still hear what’s going on around you. And if you’ve got big ears, the cups might feel a little snug. But honestly, for the price, the Nova 5 nails the balance between features, comfort, and performance. If you want a wireless gaming headset that just works, has crazy battery life, and doesn’t cost a fortune, the Arctis Nova 5 is an easy recommendation.

Bought it to use for videocalls and am absolutely in love with the headphones and the additional accessories I got with it. My partner had already told me about the products good quality after they bought there's, so it was a no brainer.

Great headphones
Headphones work well and seem sturdy enough to last. Sound quality is good, and microphone has been good enough for friends on Discord to notice the improvement over my last set of headphones. USB connection to my computer has enough range for me to wander my house without losing audio. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the headphones are a bit tight on my head, even with the sizing strap completely removed.
