This is a very easy review to write. I've used numerous gaming headsets over the years, including the Audeze Penrose X, Astro A50 & B&O Portal in more recent times. The Nova Pro Wireless blows them all out of the water. With every headset I've owned there has always been drawbacks, but honestly I cannot find a single fault with this headset. Steelseries has been overdue an upgrade to their Arctis line-up & I suspect this particular headset has been years in the making.
Starting with the design aesthetic of the headset itself, it's very reminiscent of the B&O Portal (I believe it's the same designer) only they have improved upon it. The headband design associated with Steelseries has been significantly improved & is now perfect. The headset is extremely comfortable: lightweight, plush ear cups & top notch build quality. There really is nothing to fault. The base station is also top quality too. Note if you play on multiple consoles, buy the Xbox version since it also works on PS5, Switch & PC.

Onto the sound, my god it's incredible. Crystal clear with zero distortion, bass that is impactful, right out of the box the audio is amazing. The default flat EQ is great, but you can customise via the base station. Spatial audio is extremely impressive. I'm using Dolby Atmos with my Xbox & audio is so well defined. Extremely immersive.
I could go on & on about how great this headset but to summarise, this headset is the new benchmark for gaming headsets. I really don't see how it can be beat. Everything about the Arctis Pro Wireless which came before it has been improved upon drastically. In Bluetooth mode (paired with a phone) the audio is equally impressive & can be used for everyday use. If you are serious into gaming & want a headset which is versatile, look no further.
Hats off to Steelseries, the wait has been worth it. Finally I have the flawless gaming headset I have long since wanted. The manufacturer has left no stone unturned. These gaming headset companies (including Steelseries) have a habit of rehashing the same headset with a few new features to call it new. In this instance it appears Steelseries has almost gone back to the drawing board. I can see the feedback to this headset being unanimous & the review I've just wrote being typical of the reception. Honestly, it doesn't get any better than this headset. £330 isn't cheap, but they're worth every penny in my view.

Size Name: Wireless for XboxStyle Name: Nova BlackVerified Purchase
Purchased this set of headphones for the hot swappable battery aspect primarily - as i wanted to retain wireless but not have to keep plugging cables in.

The heaphones themselves are of decent build quality & the sound quality is there - although i had to apply some EQ to get them to how i like them, they don't compare in quality to very high end headphones of which i do own a pair (not quite as much depth on the low end and the highs aren't as nice) , but for day to day they are perfect and more than enough for gaming.

The ANC is adequate - sometimes useful, sometimes not depending on the external ambient noise. I do find that i have it off more than on though as it causes me to feel pressure in my ears which i don't find enjoyable.

They are also very useful for work too - as i can just use the bluetooth aspect of them to connect to my work gear while not having to move cables on the DAC to something else etc.

Speaking of which, the DAC that these come with houses the spare battery on the right hand side for charging when you are using the alternate battery in the headset, the DAC has all the controls and more that the headset does, very intuitive to use, clear screen & i recently found it it even integrates with games like Counter Strike to provide me with stats on the game (this will require the install of SteelSeries GG software on PC though to gather that information and display it).

This is the type of product that is 70% hardware and 30% software - as a lot of the features that make these headphones great is down to the software counter part. Steel Series seem very good with firmware updates and software package updates which keep on making this package as a whole a lot better.

To add to this - i can purchase even more spare batteries for this completely seperately, which is a comforting thought and makes me feel this is a very longevity focused product

Ho voluto testare per bene il prodotto, prima di scrivere una recensione, e devo dire che sono stracontento dell'acquisto.
Partendo dal packaging si nota subito che queste cuffie tendono ad offrire il top, già da come vengono presentate. All'interno della scatola troverete tutti i cavi necessari per far funzionare le cuffie compreso il jack da 3,5 pollici. Inoltre viene fornita una comoda borisna mobida, per portare in giro le cuffie o per riporle dopo averle utilizzate oltre che ovviamente l'hub per connettere le cuffie alle varie piattaforme, e una batteria di riserva che non vi lascerà mai con headset scarico.

Parlando del design delle cuffie, si nota subito che il materiale di costruzione, è un materiale premium e, oltre che bello, sono pure comode! Le ho provate in lunghe sessioni, e vi posso garantire che non ho mai avvertito fastidio di sorta, né con l'archetto, ne tantomeno con il peso ( che tutto sommato, sono anche discretamente leggere )

Passando al lato della connettività, non mi è mai capitato una disconnessione, né su xbox, né tantomeno su playstation 5, su PC le ho testate ben poco, ma suppongo che il risultato sia il medesimo.
Comodissima la batteria rimovibile innestata in uno dei due padiglioni, l'autonomia è veramente elevata, circa 30 ore, e una volta esaurita la carica, potrete usare la batteria secondaria, che si ricarica inserendola nell'hub delle cuffie e praticamente non avrete mai il problema di cuffie scariche!

Altra cosa che apprezzo, il fatto che si possano cambiare i padiglioni, questo permette, in caso di usura, di sostituirli e dare nuova linfa vitale alle vostre cuffie ( in ogni caso io è da agosto che le uso, e per ora non ho segni di usura )

Parlando dell'audio, supporta veramente di tutto, dal DTS, al Dolby per passare anche all'audio 3D di Sony ( che è una delizia da ascoltare con queste cuffie ). Il suono è cristallino, i bassi sono belli potenti, ma non distruttivi e lasciano ascoltare tutte le fonti audio.
Sia i padiglioni, che il microfono retraibile, sono veramente da top di gamma, ed hanno dei piccoli microfoni dedicati per la cancellazione del rumore, che fanno un lavoro poderoso. Per farvi sentire in chat, dovrete tenere il microfono molto vicino alla bocca, ma vi posso garantire, che non è un difetto, anzi, essendo retraibile e anche molto comodo da sistemare come meglio si vuole!

Connettività bluethooth veramente eccellente, anche in questo caso, impeccabile. Mai avuto problemi di disconnessione, ed uso uno smartphone di fascia media, uno xiaomi MI10T che ha i suoi anni alle spalle.

Infine vi è la possibilità di connettere le cuffie con il jack da 3.5, ma in questo caso, mi sembra che si debba rinunciare a qualcosa in termini di audio lato pc. Vado a memoria, mi pare che non sia supportato un audio 3D da app su pc, se decidete di attaccare il jack, ma vi invito ad informarvi dato che come dicevo, le ho usate ben poco su pc.

I pulsanti per alzare ed abbassare il volume, come vedete in foto, sono posti nella parte posteriore, e vi posso assicurare, che una volta che ci avrete fatto l'abitudine sull'ubicazione dei tasti, alzare ed abbassare il volume, sarà una bazzecola. Segnalo la comodossima " rotella " per alzare ed abbassare il volume, che, su xbox, se premuta, vi permetterà di switchare sul mixer audio di gioco/chat, così da regolare la voce dei vostri amici, o il volume di gioco senza dover ricorrere alle app di xbox. Dovrei provare anche su ps5 ma non credo sia possibile utilizzare questa funzione.

In conclusione, è un headset STELLARE, difficile tornare indietro una volta provato. Vale la spesa? beh, vista la connettività multipiattaforma, e la qualità complessiva, direi di si assolutamente. Ovviamente il prezzo è alto, ma vi posso garantire, che godrete come ricci, una volta provate le cuffie.

Chiudo dicendo che il software del pc è stabile, e permette di configurare vari preset audio, o addirittura personalizzare completamente i suoni delle cuffie, se avete voglia di smanettarci sopra ( io purtroppo ho dei limiti, e mi sono accontentato dei set offerti, ma le possibilità sono infinite )

Se devo trovare un difetto, vi informo che se attaccate l'hub alla xbox, quest'ultimo rimarrà sempre acceso, ma in questo caso non è colpa interamente dell'hw delle cuffie, ma di xbox, che non spenge mai le sue porte USB e di conseguenza, continua ad alimentare anche l'hub. Io semplicemente stacco il cavetto quando non le uso su consolle Microsoft. Si tratta comunque di una inerzia, che non va a intaccare il valore di queste cuffie da sogno!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vgl. simultanes Audio Audeze Maxwell, Corsair Virtuoso XT und Steel Series Arctis Nova Pro
Reviewed in Germany on 17 December 2023
Size Name: Wireless for XboxStyle Name: Nova BlackVerified Purchase
Etwas unfreiwillig kam ich dazu die drei o.g. Headsets ausgiebig zu testen. Mein heimisches Setup beinhaltet einen PC, PS5 und Smartphone. Ich wollte endlich ein Headset welches mir simultanes Audio liefert. Nach ausgiebiger Recherche bestellte ich mir zunächst das Corsair Virtuoso XT, welches nach gewissen Problemen (hauptsächlich hinsichtlich Passform sowie Bluetooth Verbindungsabbrüche) durch das Audeze Maxwell ersetzt wurde. Auch hier gab es erneut mehrere Verbindungsprobleme (stotterndes Bluetooth/Dongle Playback bei simultanem Playback), so dass ich letztlich beim Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro landete mit dem ich auch bis jetzt mehr als zufrieden bin. Ich hoffe meine Review kann denjenigen die an simultanem Audio interessiert sind bei der Kaufentscheidung helfen.
Hier eine kurze Auflistung meiner Pro und Cons:
Corsair Virtuoso XT:
+ Beste Vorraussetzungen für simultanes Audio. Ich war anfangs wirklich begeistert. Gleich 3 Geräte wurden gleichzeitig abgespielt (PC via Dongle, Smartphone via Bluetooth. PS5 via AUX). Insgesamt wunderbar durchdachtes simultanes Audio. Man hat am Kopfhörer sowie am AUX Kabel mehrere Regler mit denen man alle (!!!) seine verschiedenen Tonspuren steuern kann – Traumhaft!!! Der Drehregler und die Tasten sind ebenfalls sehr, sehr hochwertig verarbeitet. Nach einigen Tagen nahmen aber bei mir die Bluetooth Verbindungsabbrüche zu (nahezu alle 10 Min musste Bluetooth neu verbunden werden) – das war leider inakzeptabel.
- Passform: Ich hab mir hierfür extra spezielle Ohrpolster (Wicked cushions) zugelegt. Ob nun originale Ohrpolster oder auch die von Wicked cushions, der Kopfhörer fühlte sich andauernd sehr lose am Kopf an. Bei leichtesten Bewegungen verrutschte der Kopfhörer. Zudem ergab sich auch eine Lücke bei der Abdichtung der Ohrmuscheln was das Hörerlebnis ebenfalls deutlich schmälerte.
- Akku: Wenn ich zu Hause bin trage ich die Kopfhörer sehr, sehr viel. Sei es nun für Gaming, Musik oder Hörbücher bei den Haushaltsaufgaben, Videos oder auch Filme. Da kommt der Akku schon sehr schnell an seine Grenzen. Einen intensiven Tag hält der Akku definitiv nicht durch. Um die Akkulaufzeit zu verlängern sollte man aber definitiv die unsinnige RGB Beleuchtung ausschalten (geht nur über die PC App)
Fazit Virtuoso: Eigtl. mein absoluter Favorit, wenn da nicht die unfassbar nervigen negativen Punkte wären. Das simultane Audio mit seinen ganzen separaten Regulierungsmöglichkeiten ist definitv den beiden anderen Systemen überlegen. Wirklich Schade. Bei einem Nachfolger werde ich hier aber definitv hellhörig werden.

Audeze Maxwell:
+ Akku: In meiner Testphase musste ich lediglich einmal ans Netz, die Wiedergabe mit einer Aufladung wird bei ca. 80h angegeben. Das ist wirklich gigantisch.
+ Wirklich sehr, sehr gutes Mikrofon. Filtert auch unfassbar gut Störgeräusche raus. Das ist wirklich herrausragend gut.
- Kein simultanes wireless Audio möglich. Dies gleich mal vorweg. Simultan funktioniert lediglich AUX mit Dongle oder Bluetooth. Dongle und Bluetooth wird nicht unterstützt. Zudem kam es bei mir bereits nach dem zweiten Tag zu regelmäßigen Stottern der wireless Wiedergabe. Dies beim mit Abstand teuersten System war nicht hinnehmbar. Dies trat bei mir zumdinest nur während des simultanen Audios auf, wird aber klar auch im Manual beworben. Zudem ist das System etwas schwierig hinsichtlich Steurbarkeit. Es gibt wirklich wenig Tasten. Manche Tasten werden mehrfach belegt hinsichtlich ihrer Funktion. Zudem kann man nicht einfach zw. Dongle und Bluetooth hin und her switchen. Man muss das Gerät immer ein und ausschalten wenn man die Audioquelle wechseln will. Sehr nervig.
-/+: Passform war ganz gut. Der Kopfhörer ist aber schon ein ordentliches Drum. Man spürt definitiv das man ihn aufhat. Gedrückt hat allerdings nichts, zudem verrutschte auch nichts.
Fazit Audeze Maxwell: Sehr gutes System mit einem wirklich überragenden Akku sowie Mikrofon. Die Verbindungsprobleme (welche in diesem Preissegment definitv nicht vorkommen sollten) haben mich dann aber letztlich dazu bewogen, dass ich das Steelseries bestellte.
Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro:
+ soweit hatte ich kein einziges Verbindungsproblem hinsichtlich simultanem Audio. V.a. funktioniert simultanes wireless Audio. Mittels separatem Knopf kann man Bluetooth ein und ausschalten und koppelt auch sofort mit dem Smartphone. Mittels eines externen Controllers kann man nun z.B. PS5 und PC anschließen und hier über das Display oder den Kopfhörer problemlos zwischen den angeschlossenen Ausgabequellen (2 aus Playstation, Switch, Xbox und PC) hin und herwechseln. Funktioniert wirklich tadellos. Es ist zwar ein zusätzliches Gerät mit Kabeln aufm Schreibtisch, welches sich aber lohnt. V.a. kann man hierüber zügig seine Equalizer Einstellung ändern, was den Wechsel von Musik auf Game deutlich erleichtert und schneller macht. Ich hätte mir hier noch einen separaten Drehregler im bereich des Bluetooth Knopfes gewünscht um die Bluetooth Audioausgabe ohne Smartphone zu steuern. Läuft allerdings kein simultanes Audio lässt sich Bluetooth Audio ebenfalls über den Kopfhörer steuern.
+ Akku: Zwei Akkus. Einer wird permanent geladen. Sodass der Kopfhörer selbst nie an die Steckdose muss und auf dem Schreibtisch schön platziert werden kann. Ersatzakkus sind zudem sehr günstig zu haben.
+ Passform: der deutlich leichteste Kopfhörer von den dreien welcher sehr gut sitzt und die Ohrmuscheln gut umfässt. Nichts rutsch oder drückt. So will man das für ein >200 Euro headset.
+/- Mikrofon: das ‚schlechteste‘ Mikro der drei Kopfhörer. Allerdings für ein wireless Headset trotzdem mit sehr gutem Sound. Die anderen beiden sind aber deutlich besser. Allerdings gefällt mir die Option das Mikro nahtlos in den Kopfhörer einzurollen deutlich besser als das Mikro i.wo rumliegen zu haben.
Fazit Steelseries: Letztlich bin ich beim Steelseries hängen geblieben und wirklich zufreiden damit. Das simultane Audio funktioniert wirklich einwandfrei so wie es soll und kann problemlos und v.a. nahtlos mittels Kopfhörer oder den Controller gewechselt werden. Vom Sound selbst fand ich zumindest gab es für meine Bedürfnisse keine eklatanten Unterschiede. Würde hier aber wohl den Maxwell als besten titulieren.

Rom.
5.0 out of 5 stars Presque un sans faute. Le casque le plus polyvalent du marché.

Je souhaitais changer mon casque qui commençait à devenir assez vieillot.

Les +
- Il est confortable. Attention à bien l'ajuster, il y a une barre dans les oreillettes qui peut venir appuyer l'oreille, mais une fois réajusté, on ne la sens plus
- Une qualité sonore à la hauteur du prix
- Une qualité sonore encore meilleure avec leur logiciel (Windows uniquement) en pouvant régler le casque précisément pour chaque fréquence, et le logiciel duplique virtuellement les sorties pour permettre d'avoir différentes configurations (Gaming / Media /...). Il suffit ensuite d'utiliser Windows pour paramétrer vos logiciels sur la bonne sortie. C'est très bien fichu
- Une bonne annulation de bruit: Des performances similaires à ce qui se fait dans le haut de gamme aujourd'hui. Bien sûr, ça n'annule pas TOUT, mais c'est pareil avec tous les casques
- Le système de batterie est vraiment un énorme plus pour moi qui passe quasiment toute la journée avec le casque sur les oreilles, fini la galère de trouver un autre casque ou avoir un câble qui gêne pendant que le casque recharge, vous changez de batterie et c'est bon.
- Une prise jack - toujours utile!
- Une prise USB-C pour recharger le casque lors des déplacements, vous pouvez donc l'utiliser comme un casque Bluetooth classique, même pendant vos déplacements. Et oui, le bluetooth fonctionne aussi avec une Smart TV et ça fonctionne parfaitement. (PS: Il est derrière la trappe de l'oreille gauche, je l'ai découvert récemment et je suis venu mettre à jour mon avis en conséquence)

Bref, avec toutes ces options, vous trouverez forcément une solution pour brancher votre casque quelque soit la configuration. Littéralement, j'ai ce casque connecté à ma Xbox, ma tour PC, mon téléphone, mon ordinateur portable pour le boulot, ma TV, et on peut l'utiliser en déplacement. Quel autre casque est aussi polyvalent ?!

Sans opinion:
- La station. Je trouve ça sympa, ça affiche des informations utiles (ou même des évènements en jeu) mais une station bien moins complète aurait aussi fait l'affaire (station de charge et sélecteur de source aurait été suffisant). C'est pas mal mais c'est pas non plus l'élément essentiel de ce casque.

Les -:
- Littéralement un détail: Il m'est arrivé parfois de devoir déconnecter / reconnecter le bluetooth pour que ça se connecte à un Mac. J'ai eu quelques casques bluetooth et en général, ça ne faisait pas ça. Rien de grave, mais c'est un peu agaçant. Peut-être à corriger par une mise à jour ?

Bref, un quasi sans faute pour moi, un casque parfait à mon sens et potentiellement adapté à tout type d'utilisation !
