Description

The wireless gaming headset SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 features Neodymium Magnetic drivers for high-fidelity sound and supports 360° Spatial Audio. It offers up to 60 hours of battery life with fast USB-C charging and Quick-Switch Wireless technology for instant switching between 2.4GHz and Bluetooth 5.3. It is equipped with the retractable ClearCast 2.X microphone with a 32KHz bandwidth and AI Noise Cancellation function, and comes with a USB-C dongle for compatibility with PC, PlayStation, Switch, and mobile devices.

Sound Architecture & Neodymium Drivers

The headset system is based on custom Neodymium Magnetic Drivers, which are designed to deliver an extremely detailed sound spectrum with crystal-clear highs and deep bass. The listening experience is enhanced by 360° Spatial Audio technology, offering full surround awareness through Sonar Virtual Surround Sound software on Windows. The hardware is fully compatible with the Tempest 3D Audio standard for PS5 and Microsoft Spatial Sound, ensuring precise audio positioning in space. Through the app, users can unlock over 100 audio presets, tuned by sound engineers to optimize specific frequencies for each game.

Quick-Switch Wireless Connectivity

The device incorporates Quick-Switch Wireless technology, allowing instant switching between low-latency 2.4GHz connection and Bluetooth 5.3 at the press of a button. The system intelligently manages two independent EQ slots, maintaining different sound profiles for gaming and for receiving calls or media from mobile devices. Cross-Platform connectivity is achieved via a compact USB-C dongle, making the headset compatible with PC, PlayStation, Switch, Mac, VR (Meta Quest), and portable consoles, eliminating the need for multiple audio devices per platform.

ClearCast 2.X Microphone & AI Noise Cancellation

The upgraded ClearCast 2.X microphone operates with a new high-bandwidth chipset, supporting audio sampling at 32KHz/16Bit, offering double the clarity compared to standard gaming microphones. It is supported by the Sonar AI-Powered Noise Cancellation software on PC, which uses artificial intelligence algorithms for bidirectional elimination of ambient noise during communication. Its design is fully retractable, allowing the complete concealment of the boom arm inside the headset chassis when not in use, maintaining the aesthetics and ergonomics of the headset.

Power Management & Companion App

The energy efficiency of the Arctis Nova 5 ensures a battery life of up to 60 hours of continuous use, allowing it to operate for an entire week on a single charge. It features a USB-C port with Fast Charge support for rapid energy replenishment. At the same time, the Arctis Companion App serves as a central control hub, providing access to real-time parametric EQ without having to exit the game. The software allows customization of chat and game audio mix (ChatMix), as well as activation of specialized profiles such as 'X-Ray Hearing' to enhance critical audio cues.

    As for the sound, excellent especially for gaming, but regarding the microphone, very bad. It transmits your voice excellently to others who hear you, if they actually hear you! I don't know if I got a defective product or if my head is big and the microphone doesn't reach right in front of my mouth, but really, for others to hear me, especially when I'm gaming and the sounds are already very loud for everyone, I either have to speak very loudly or constantly hold the microphone in front of my lips with my hand

    Even I didn't expect these headphones to be so awesome. They are worth every penny and more. The features they offer and their technology are out of this world. Also, they save you the trouble of buying a standalone microphone because the quality of their built-in microphone, which is also retractable depending on what you want to do with them, is simply incredible. For those interested in streaming, these headphones are the best choice for you. Very comfortable for many hours of use with huge battery life and you don't even need to buy a microphone.

    Amazing headset. The sound is great and the software is working great as well. I can be far from my computer and it does not cut. So, I recommend it.

    After 8-9 years of using at least 2 headsets from Razer, the Kraken and a model before the Kraken, I tried Steelseries for the first time with this particular model and I was pleasantly surprised. Very good fit on the head and ears, as well as very good sound isolation. VFM!

    Very COMFORTABLE, lightweight, and ergonomic headset for all day long. The sound is very good and can be adjusted to various EQ presets through the mobile/pc app. The battery is very good as well. The microphone is good for quiet spaces.

    The only negative I see is that the headphones are not suitable for outdoor use or office. The height application is mediocre, so if you move a lot, they may slip out of place. Also, they do not have significant noise cancellation or noise isolation. For this reason, they are ideal for home use for both gaming and work calls.

  • A very good wireless headset with very good clear sound, it is truly the first time I get wireless headphones and I can now say with certainty that I will not go back to wired headphones. Of course, for those thinking of getting them for gaming, they are very good but do not have such good spatial (directionality and localization), although with the SteelSeries software it improves quite a bit. They connect very easily to both mobile and PC and for their price I think they are VFM (Value For Money).
