Nearly nine years ago, SteelSeries sent me its (at the time) new H Wireless Headset for a review. Back then, I had mostly used Logitech and Corsair accessories for my PC gaming setup and the SteelSeries brand was new to me. But after a couple weeks of using the H Wireless Headset, there was one feature that stood out from all the other wireless headsets on the market: a replaceable battery. It might sound like a minor convenience, but not having to plug in my headset for charging quickly became my favorite feature of the H Wireless Headset. The swappable battery means you never have any downtime using this headset, allowing you to freely game for extended hours without ever having to plug it in.
Since then, I have followed the new iterations of the H Wireless Headset, using the Arctis Pro Wireless for years before recently replacing it with the most recent version, the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. SteelSeries continues to improve on its range-topping wireless headset offering, and overall it's my favorite to use because of the swappable battery. If you want a wireless headset and hate having to remember to charge your headset, this is the one to get.
Audio quality with this SteelSeries headset is above average - it's not the best you'd find, but it's pretty good. I do find the headset to be pretty comfortable, but I still prefer the previous Arctis Pro Wireless for longer gaming sessions. My biggest complaint with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is the audio quality from the mic. While it doesn't directly impact you, audio quality from the microphone is average, but clear. I do like that the microphone is completely retractable, which is great when you don't need it. But if audio quality from your microphone is your main priority, there are better headsets out there for that and I'll have a recommendation below.
The headset does have a robust feature set, including the ability to customize the audio experience with the Sonar Software. It does support 360-degree spatial audio and is fully compatible with Tempest 3D Audio and Microsoft Spatial Sound. Active Noise Cancellation is the latest tech in this version of the headset, allowing you to tune out ambient noise. If you play on more than one platform, twin USB ports allow you to switch between them with a push of a button.
Wireless range for this headset is advertised at 40 feet and based on my personal experience, it's accurate. I am able to freely move around my room and even go downstairs without the headset cutting off.
Please note there are two different versions of the headset and if you're gaming on Xbox, you'll have to buy the Xbox-specific headset. PC owners should purchase the PlayStation (PS) version.
