The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Gaming Headset, frequently lauded as one of the best wireless gaming headsets, has dropped to its lowest price to date. Woot, an Amazon-owned retailer, is offering the headset for PlayStation and PC at $191.99. This price requires applying the coupon code "CHEERS" at checkout, which provides a 20% discount. First-time Woot customers can receive an additional 10% off, bringing the price down further. Amazon Prime members are eligible for free shipping; otherwise, a $5 delivery fee applies. This sale is for a new headset that includes a 90-day warranty from Woot.
The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless earned a perfect 10/10 "Masterpiece" review from IGN, and remains a top choice despite the release of its successor, the Nova Pro Omni, which retails for $380. The key selling point of the Nova Pro remains its innovative hot-swappable battery system. The headset comes with two rechargeable batteries; one is used in the headset while the other charges in the included base station. This design allows for uninterrupted wireless play, as a fresh battery can be swapped in instantly when the current one depletes. Each battery provides up to 22 hours of continuous use.
The base station itself features an OLED display for easy viewing of settings and a volume control knob. It also offers USB connectivity for PC and an optional 3.5mm passthrough for connecting external speakers. For audio performance, the headset utilizes 40mm neodymium dynamic drivers and supports spatial audio technologies like SteelSeries Sonar for PC, Tempest 3D Audio for PS5, and Microsoft Spatial Sound for Xbox. The retractable boom microphone is designed for clarity, effectively canceling out background noise to ensure clear communication.
Comfort is also a highlight, with a suspension-style headband and leatherette ear cushions designed for extended gaming sessions. The headband incorporates a steel inner core for durability, which has proven resilient even with heavy use.
