9to5Toys’ TakeĪs someone who owns the existing Arctis Pro Wireless, I’m heavily considering upgrading my gaming setup with the new Nova lineup. Pricing starts at $249.99 for the wired model and goes up to $349.99 for the wireless version, with the Xbox model following suit for pricing as well. You can purchase the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro lineup direct from SteelSeries or at Amazon with all models available. It allows you to connect to your PC through 2.4GHz with the base station and then also pair with a Bluetooth device, like your phone or laptop. It taxes the previous-generation base station and upgrades it with the new featured found in the GameDAC Gen 2, like the parametric EQ and multi-system connect.Īlso, there’s still simultaneous game and mobile audio, which is something that I absolutely love about my current Arctis Pro Wireless headset. On top of that, we have the Infinity Power System, which is new to the Nova line. The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless features active noise cancellation for gaming, which turns out outside noises, but has a Transparency Mode which allows you to check in with those around you, no need to lift the ear cup. But, there’s a lot of new features, as well. Of course, you’ll find the things that the Arctis Pro is known for with Hi-Res audio, swappable batteries, and more. As someone with an Arctis Pro Wireless headset currently, I’m most excited for what this new headset brings to the table. However, moving over to my favorite announcement today, we have the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. The Arctis Nova Pro wired model comes with the GameDAC Gen 2, which boasts official Hi-Res Audio Certification and has a built-in ESS Sabre amplifier, clocking in a resolution of 96kHz at 24-bit for a true audiophile experience. Now for the differences between the models. In addition, all headsets leverage the ComfortMAX System, which makes the Arctis Nova Pro lineup SteelSeries’ “most adjustable headset to date.” This comes from the fact that it can be adjusted four ways, including height-adjustable earcups, a flexible comfort band, and more. Multi-System Connect is also a feature, which allows you to flip between PC, Switch, or PlayStation with the press of a button, all without messing with a single cable.

All headsets also leverage SteelSeries’ AI-powered noise cancelling microphone that can tune out your background noise as well as use a bi-directional microphone with Sonar to “purify your outgoing audio” as well as “silencing the noises coming from your friends chat” when used with a PC on Windows 10 or 11.
