That lighter weight in combination with the elastic headband and ample, yet not overbearing clamping force makes the Nova Pro one of the most comfortable headsets IвЂ™ve worn. The profile is also slimmer than previous Arctis models, for a more subdued look.ДЄt 338 grams, the Arctis Nova Pro is around 90 grams heavier than high-end noise-canceling headphones like the Sony WH-1000XM4 and XM5, but it still comes in under the Audeze Mobius (338g) and the Logitech G935 (380g). The pad has an oval shape that covers the ear well as opposed to a circular shape that can sometimes lead to a poor fit that doesnвЂ™t seal properly on some heads. The earcups are not nearly as bulbous and ostentatious as many gaming headsets tend to be, such as the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset or the Razer Kraken V3. The Nova ProвЂ™s overall size contributes to its comfortable fit. The elastic headband is connected by two plastic tabs that can be adjusted to increase or decrease the band's tension. The telescoping height adjustment is easy to move while still being firm enough to stay in place during longer sessions. To accommodate different head sizes there are two adjustable options each ear cup can telescope out about an inch, and the elastic headband can be set in one of three tension positions with plastic snaps (as opposed to the velcro used on previous SteelSeries headsets).

During warm Los Angeles days, the headset could feel a bit warm, but I was never sweaty or uncomfortable. The thick leatherette ear pads offer nice cushioning that feels luxurious. IвЂ™m prone to headaches from headset clamping and never encountered an issue during my hours of gaming. The Arctis Nova Pro provides just enough pressure to keep a good seal while remaining comfortable for a long session. If thereвЂ™s so much clamping force that it gives you a headache, it wonвЂ™t stay on your head long. The Arctis Nova Pro's ear pads have significant padding and stay comfortable over long play sessions.ДЇor long gaming sessions, a comfortable headset is of utmost importance. Over Bluetooth, the treble was missing a small bit of sparkle, but itвЂ™s a very minor nit-pick. Fiona AppleвЂ™s voice in вЂњExtraordinary MachineвЂќ clearly sat front and center as the pizzicato strings and marimba of Jon BrionвЂ™s orchestration danced around, supporting the singer with round bass and nice spatial placement. The Arctis Nova Pro handles music very well, too.

I adjusted the gain a bit in the SteelSeriesвЂ™ Sonar PC software (which IвЂ™ll discuss more below) as the default gain setting was too high. The retractable microphone picked up my voice clearly for my friends to hear with a slight accentuation to the higher frequencies. The audio performance was equally impressive, with great placement of approaching bugs or the echoes of my partyвЂ™s axes against rock.

On the PC, I joined friends for some digging in Deep Rock Galactic. Dialogue came through clearly and no line of AloyвЂ™s story was missed. The sound field has great width, and I could easily place the location of lurking machines that surrounded me as I lay in wait nearby. When I entered into the world of Horizon Zero Dawn, the sound enveloped me and I was immediately drawn in. Thanks to new custom-designed drivers, the Arctis Nova Pro delivers an excellent listening experience, even without EQ adjustment. Gaming sessions can last for hours thanks to the comfortable ear pads and adjustable headband tension.ДЇrom the first note of music of the Horizon Zero Dawn menu screen on the PS5, I knew I was in for a treat. The PS5 version does not work with an Xbox since it lacks the necessary Microsoft security chip. In addition to the PS5/PC wireless version we reviewed, thereвЂ™s one certified for the Xbox (also $350), and wired versions (both Xbox-specific and not) for $250.
