SteelSeries Nova 5 PC Headset

I just built my own computer and got these for my gaming set up, super cool and i chose these for the sound localization and they do not disappoint, its so cool to listen exactly where people are in fortnite!

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.

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.

Comfortable, great sound quality. Exactly what I was looking for.

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.

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.

Before, I had the Arctis Nova 1, and now I bought the Nova 5, both wireless. The microphone is absolutely terrible, I have to keep it in my mouth when speaking. I installed all the drivers, Sonar, it’s just absolutely disastrous.

I'm using this Headset on the PS5 and I'm really happy with the sound. My Head though seems a little to big for this headset. The range of size adjustment feels very limited and it seems to me like they we're trying to save costs here.

Bought it loved it that's all I have to say it's just a great headset

Good sound quality and nice features/design. I use them playing PC games, watching YouTube, and listening to music, and have no complaints.

Bought to replace a failing Arctis 1 Is superior in every way i can imagine

Headset is only “ok”. The sound is flat and the left speaker/earcup rattles sometimes. Would not get this again, I would pick a different headset

So easy to set up and use. Super comfortable definitely recommend

I bought these headphones almost exactly a month ago and i've never had such a good experience with them. The setup was SUPER easy, and I love how I can switch between 2.4Ghz and Bluetooth. The headset itself is very sturdy and supportive. The only problem I have with it is that the noise-canceling isn't very good.

Finally decided to stop being cheap with my headsets and decided to spend the money on this headset after hearing a friend's experience with his Steel Series headset. The connection is solid, battery is incredibly long lasting, and I've gotten comments on the improvement in my audio quality. Absolutely would reccomend.

I think that this is one of the best purchase which i made. So far it is very good as expected.

I bought this product, because I wanted wireless headphones and my friends recommended this. Great sound and battery life. I am happy with this product.

I bought the headset a month ago and I am very satisfied! Excellent sound quality and top connectsbility!

I've had these for about a month, I use them for work, the wireless aspect is a bit better than having a wire running to my phone. They sound good, I still use my Arctic 3's, these ones sound just as good.

I have only Had these for about a month now so do not feel I can give them a proper review as only time will tell. But so far, they are more comfortable than the last expensive headset I bought (Not SteelSeries). The sound quality is good. I am still learning how to tweak the Voice and game audio balance. Only issue I have is there are times I have to wander from my computer and the wireless range does not go as far as I would like. To be fair my computer is in the basement of my house and I have issues when I go upstairs.I have also been told I am cutting out when in my chat program but that just could be more tweaking I need to do. As I said still early. Overall I am happy with this headset.
