SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless

This isn’t your average price reduction; SteelSeries’ reason for discounting the headsets is because their packaging is damaged. It assures that the hardware inside is still unused and undamaged, and the headset includes the same one-year warranty as any of its new headsets.

The Nova Pro Wireless was an impressive gaming headset when it launched four years ago — and still is — especially at this price point. It has all the features you’re probably expecting from a high-end wireless headset, like active noise cancellation for blocking out sounds, a noise-canceling microphone for clear callouts and crisp voice delivery, and Bluetooth connectivity in case you need to take a call. In addition, the slick USB base station adds a ton of unique functionality, like charging a spare batteries to minimize downtime when one dies, onboard controls for game profiles and sound mixing, and the ability to blend up to three inputs at a time (including Bluetooth).

There are some things you should keep in mind if you’re thinking of picking up the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. Our reviewers disagreed on its comfort. Neither found it uncomfortable, but both agreed that it’s heavier than other SteelSeries headsets. If you were considering the newer and more expensive Nova Pro Omni , this headset has most of the same unique features at a much more palatable price point.
