SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless

7.0/10verdict: buy

The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless suits people who game across more than one system and want strong sound with wireless and Bluetooth connected together. Hot-swappable batteries and dual connections are its clearest strengths, based on both specifications and owner reports. It is less convincing for buyers who want strong noise cancelling or who are sensitive to the price.
