SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless review

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is built around two ideas: never wait for a charge, and keep two systems connected. SteelSeries ships two hot-swappable batteries rated up to 22 hours each, so one charges in the base station while the other is in use. The base connects two systems at once for easy toggling, and Bluetooth runs at the same time so phone audio mixes with the game. The PC and PlayStation version lists compatibility with Windows PCs, PS5 Pro, PS5, PS4, Switch over USB or Bluetooth, and handhelds such as the ROG Ally and Steam Deck. Active noise cancellation has a transparency mode, the drivers are Hi-Res capable neodymium units, and AI noise cancelling cleans incoming and outgoing chat. ChatMix and the Sonar EQ need Windows 10 or later. It listed at $299.99 MSRP on the US store on the check date, and SteelSeries sells a separate Xbox version. We compared documented features and published prices only.
