    Incredible headset

    I use this for BOTH my Xbox and PC and let me tell you it’s the best headset I’ve ever owned. Bought wicked cushions to replace OEM ones and it’s elevated the feel. Battery life is awesome, sound quality better than my Astro A40s, and the fit and feel is perfect. Friends even say the mic quality is better. Plus the SteelSeries GG software auto clips amazing kills for you to have stuff to share on socials. Highly recommend!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2024
    I'm in love with these headsets, it was just plug and play. The app is very useful to change the EQ preset according to the game I play on Xbox. There was no need to do extra steps to get these to work, although you might need a PC in order to update the firmware with SteelSeries GG software.

    The headset feels comfortable and I barely feel I have them on after several hours (I have a small head). The sound is very clear, I can notice small details while gaming, no heavy bass boost or any extra sound feature that make the sound uncomfortable like explosions in game. It is a well balanced sound and they are very loud that I barely keep them 100% the volume, with SteelSeries GG software on PC you can customize the EQ how you like for competitive shooter games or any other games you play. I feel the default EQ presets I tried were really nice, some people have issues with some default EQ presets but you can always tweak it with GG software ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    The SteelSeries App just works, it was easy to set up and there is no delay while changing the EQ preset. However you cannot make a custom preset from the app, you might need to install SteelSeries GG software on your PC and create the EQ preset on Engine section. You can set the Equalizer for 2.4Ghz connection or BT, having an EQ gaming preset for 2.4Ghz and EQ music preset for BT, there is no need to switch it over again after switching to Xbox/PC or phone.

    There is no delay or distortion issue with the dongle on Xbox or PC, I feel the delay on these headsets are very minimum, dialogues are always synced. on mobile I just use it to listen audios or watch short videos that I don't care much how it works there but it works really nice and there is no delay at all. Bluetooth on PC I wished I can test it and I hope to do it soon.

    A quick tip if you move the dongle back and forth on Xbox and PC, you can install the Xbox Accessories app on PC and use the dongle on Xbox mode on PC, this just works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Noted: These headsets will only work Wireless, with either the original dongle or Bluetooth. There is no wired solution or to pair it with Xbox Wireless Adapter on PC, I wished these two options were available for versatility. and there is no simultaneously BT connection, you either have it connected via dongle or have it connected via BT but you cannot listen to both at the same time, the quick switch just works really fast tho.

    I still haven't tried really well the battery life for these headsets, I've been using it a lot to tweak things and use it on Xbox, PC and phone that battery life just lasted a week, I will measure it with a normal use later on. (hopefully I didn't get a deflective one since 1 week was pretty short according to their 60hr battery life advertisement)

    ---

    I hope to get back to this review for long term review, in my opinion SteelSeries did a good job making these headsets for this price comparing to others brands for what it offers. It is really worth the purchase if you mainly use Xbox and PC for gaming.

    I’ll start off by saying that I was always the type of person who didn’t believe in paying $100+ for a gaming headset, I always bought budget to mid tier headsets as I didn’t think there would be a noticeable difference in quality, so when I heard about the new Arctis Nova 5, I was hesitant, the price seemed a little higher than I was willing to pay, but I’ve seen a few reviews for this headset and I was intrigued by some of the features it offers, 60 hour battery life, which is quite good compared to a lot of other wireless headsets that usually offer a 20-25 hour battery life, a companion app that has a ton of game presets, bluetooth connectivity for when you wanna use it on your phone or laptop without having a dongle sticking out of your device, decent mic quality, great sound, great build quality, a design that doesn't scream “I’M A GAMER” so it even looks a little professional, and great comfort, it seemed perfect, it was everything I ever needed from a wireless gaming headset, so I decided to spend the extra money and buy this headset, and wow I was pleasantly surprised and proven wrong, it completely delivered, and in some cases exceeded what I was hoping to get from this headset, you get premium features, sound quality, and build quality for a relatively affordable price, you get what you pay for, and more, the term “affordable luxury” that SteelSeries used to market this headset isn’t just a marketing term, it describes the headset perfectly.

    Simple to use controls and software
    Fits my big head
    Sleek minimal design

    Cons:
    One of the game presets sound awful (rainbow six siege) but it could be for that tactical advantage lol
    Non detachable mic
    Wish the software could auto detect what game your in and jump to that preset. It might but i havent found it in settings.

    Overall this is a great deal for the price, it's top tier quality, software, and battery life for mid tier price.

    I use this for BOTH my Xbox and PC and let me tell you it’s the best headset I’ve ever owned. Bought wicked cushions to replace OEM ones and it’s elevated the feel. Battery life is awesome, sound quality better than my Astro A40s, and the fit and feel is perfect. Friends even say the mic quality is better. Plus the SteelSeries GG software auto clips amazing kills for you to have stuff to share on socials. Highly recommend!

    Like the title says, the companion app is a game-changer. Being able to set EQs (including customs) with a couple taps in the app for every game you play truly makes a sonic difference in gameplay. I’m also really impressed with the sound quality. To my ears they sound just as good as my Nova 7X, though not quite as on par with the Nova Pro Wireless but that’s expected for a headset that costs 3x as much. I like to customize my headsets with Wicked Cushion ear pads because I think they’re significantly more comfortable than the stock pads, and I wish the 5X had swappable side plates like the 7X and Pro, but I understand they need to reserve some features for the more expensive headsets. I’m guessing product updates to the Nova 7s and Pros are right around the corner to give them their own apps as well, but if you’re looking for an excellent-sounding, lightweight, long-lasting headset right now then this is the one to get. $130 is a steal for what they offer.

    I’ve had some trouble finding a decent pair of headphones for my series x that isn’t cheap crap, these babies are neither cheap nor crap. Comfortable and just as important, connecting the headset to your console is near effortless. The built in setting the cancels out sound is a life saver too. Overall, couldn’t be happier.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Başarılı

    Arctis nova 5 modelini bir aydır yoğun şekilde kullanıyorum. Gündüz işimde ve akşamları oyun oynarken kullanıyorum. Şarjı belirtildiği gibi gidiyor ve çok hızlı şarj oluyor. Mikrofon kalitesinde şüphelerim olmuştu ama başarılı toplantılarda ses kalitesi konusunda olumlu geri dönüş aldım. Mobil uygulama üzerinden ayarları yapabilmek ve batarya bilgisini görüntüleyebilmek çok pratik. Pc uygulaması discord ve bazı oyunlarda sorunlara neden oluyor o nedenle kaldırdım. Müziklerde kalitesine orta diyebilirim. EQ ayarına göre değişkenlik gösteriyor. Belki iyi bir ayarla kalitesi yükselebilir. İş bilgisayarında bluetooth engelli olduğu için usb dongle ile sorunsuz kullanabiliyorum. İlk açıldığında ses seviyesi limitli geliyor uygulamadan kaldırabiliyor. Toplantıdayken telefon çalarsa hafif bir ses ile uyarıyor, tuşa basınca bluetootha geçip telefona bağlanıyor. 2+1 evin her yerinde sorunsuz kullanabiliyorum. Kesinti vb sorun yaşarsanız wifi bağlantınızın 5ghz olduğuna emin olun, 2.4ghz de typec dongle sorun yaşatabiliyor. Dongle ile linux bağlantısında bir sorun yok ilave kurulum gerektirmiyor. Uygulaması olmadığı için şarj görüntüleme veya eq değiştime yapamıyorsunuz sadece.
    Alışverişle ilgili tek olumsuz yorumum aldıktan kısa bir süre sonra 500-600 tl civarı fiyat düştü.

    Reviewed in Turkey on June 14, 2024
    Daha önce Corsair Void Elite Wireless kullanıyordum. 2 sene sonunda mic bozulunca Steelseries denemeye karar verdim. Günlük ortalama 8-10 saat bilg. başında oluyorum ve kulaklık benim için çok önemli. Ayrıca migrenim olduğu için rahatsızlık veren ve başımı sıkan kulaklıkları birçok kez denedim ve kullanamadım. 1-2 haftalık deneyimlerimi aktarayım. Öncelikle eski kulaklığımla karşılaştırırsam Steelseries kulaklığı aşırı hafif ve rahat. İlk gün 18 saat kullandım herhangi bir rahatsızlık vermedi. Şarj konusuna gelirsek şarjı gerçekten çok iyi benim gibi biri için yaklaşık 3 gün rahatlıkla kullanabiliyorum. Corsairda günlük şarja takmam gerekiyordu. Mesafe konusunda corsairla aynı kapasitede hiç bir farkı yok. Uygulamada mesafe arttırma diye ekstra bir seçenek var mikrofon kalitesini düşürüp menzil arttırıyor ama denemedim yada gerek görmedim. Ses kalitesine gelirsek corsairden çok daha iyi. Mikrofon olarak ise ben corsairden çok memnundum fakat Steelseries bu kulaklığında onuda mükemmel bir şekilde eklemeler yaparak corsairden çok daha iyi olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Ayrıca Steelseries GG + Sonar gerçekten çok kullanışlı. Yıllardır İCUE ile çebelleştim her update geldiğinde bir problem hata vb sıkıntıları yaşadım. Ama Steelseriesin programı çok daha konforlu. Kulaklık ayrıca telefon + bilgisayara aynı anda bağlanıyor (bluetooth ve wireless). Bilgisayarda bir iş yaparken telefon çaldığında hiç kalkmadan kulaklıktan cevaplayabiliyorsunuz. Çok iş görüyor. Telefon uygulaması da gayet güzel bir çok EQ var her oyun için ayrı ses düzenlemişler. Tavsiyem sonar uygulamasına forum sayfarlarında yada steelseriesin discord uygulamasında bir çok EQ var onları ekleyin.
    Ürüne verdiğim puan 10/10
    Kalite - Konfor - Kullanım - Software - Ses & Mikrofon 10/10

    Ertesi gün teslim edildi. Kulaklık hafif, kaliteli plastik. Padler yumusak ve terletmiyor, kafada sıkmadan sağlam ve rahat duruyor. Hem 2.4 ghz hem de bluetooth bağlantısı var. Ses kalitesi gayet iyi, basslar tatmin edici ama müzik kulaklıları kadar güçlü değil. Ekolayzır flat olarak geliyor ama Hi-Fi yazanı seçince ses daha iyi oluyor. Kulaklık üstünde de ayrı bir ses kısma arttırma tekerleği var. Mikron ses kalitesi güzel. Dışardaki sesleri kulaklığa da verebiliyor. Rgb yok ama bir eksi değil. Telefon için uygulaması da var. Pcde kontrol ise kendi programından yapılıyor. Dongle ile şuana kadar bir sorun yaşamadım, kasa arkasındaki type-c girişine bağladım. Hızlı şarj oluyor ve kullanım ömrü çok iyi.
