The 4 Best SteelSeries Headsets of 2024 Reviews

Mar. 07, 2024

The best SteelSeries headset we've tested is the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. These headphones have a wireless transmitter that comes in Xbox and PlayStation variants, so it's important to get the right one to match your console. The transmitter offers low latency, which is great when the timing is everything, and it has an interface that puts controls like EQs, volume, and chat mix directly at your fingertips. Since the headphones also come with two swappable battery packs, you can use one while the other charges inside the transmitter. Each battery has about 25 hours of continuous playback time, and you can even use the headphones wired when not in use. If you prefer a completely wired design, you'll want to check out the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, which come with a GameDAC.

Out of the box, these headphones have a somewhat neutral sound profile. Their sound has a bit of extra boom to help emphasize sound effects in gameplay. You can also finetune their sound using their companion software's robust features, including a parametric EQ. They also support Bluetooth, which is great if you want to stay connected to your console and smartphone simultaneously, and their boom mic offers very good overall performance, ensuring teammates hear you clearly. They have an ANC system, too, and while it doesn't block out sound as well as more casual-use over-ears, it can still tackle ambient chatter.
