This was purchased as a replacement for my last Arctis Nova 5. This range is supremely comfortable, especially over glasses, with no discomfort even after several hours of continuous use. Audio quality is excellent both from the speakers and through the mic. Battery life is very good, I’ve not managed to run it down to empty yet, and recharge is a quick as you’d expect with a modern battery and USB-C. It’s not lightning fast hyper charge, but it’s ready to go again after a couple of hours.
Happy to recommend if you’re looking for comfort, good value and great quality without all the extra frills.

When commenting on the sound quality of these headphones, I must emphasize that this depends on what one is listening to. If you listen to Coldplay, for example, the sound quality will be aggressively mediocre, and the crystal clear surround effect from these head phones will make it even worse. On the other hand, if you are playing Skyrim or Mass Effect while using these headphones, then the sound quality will be terrific.

Charges very fast and lasts a long time. I forgot to shut them off and came back 24+ hours later and still had decent battery percentage. Sounds great but takes a bit of balancing in the app to get the right balance for my ears. Do not use the receiver in a USB port that is hit or miss, it causes the headphones to drop off ( which is fair lol) but the headphones usually have to be turned off and on again to reconnect which messes with your chat vs game audio settings

I used the Arctis 5 for over two years, but eventually got tired of dealing with wired headsets—and the earpads had also started to wear out. Instead of replacing the pads, I decided to upgrade to the Nova 5, and it was 100% worth it.
The Nova 5 is way more comfortable. It’s super lightweight, and the headband is more ergonomic and durable compared to the Arctis 5. The old headband lost its tension over time, which made the weight distribution feel off. That’s not the case with the Nova 5—it feels well-balanced and snug.
Both headsets use similar earpad materials (which I love because they’re so soft), but I was impressed by how much better the Nova 5 isolates noise. The sound quality is superior.
SteelSeries GG software is still one of the best out there in my opinion. It offers tons of presets for different games, everything is highly customizable, and it’s very easy to use.
One of my favorite features is the dual wireless connectivity (2.4GHz and Bluetooth). It’s super easy to switch between two devices. I’m also glad I finally have a wireless headset that doesn’t compromise on quality. The USB-C dongle comes with a USB-A adapter, so that’s great.
Highly recommended!

Produto lacrado, igual da descrição. Vendedor enviou rápido e chegou antes do previsto. O fone vale o investimento. Graves e agudos envolventes. Comprei para o homeoffice e gostei muito. Almofada de tecido confortável…. Cancelamento de ruido ainda estou testando.
