Most headphone manufacturers will give you the option to remove the boom mic if you’re not using it, but SteelSeries decided to let you just push it in and hide it inside the left earcup. One of my favorite design decisions of the Nova Pro is the retracting boom microphone. The mute button is easy to find as is the volume dial, but you probably won’t be using that very much – more on that later. There you’ll find a mute button, volume dial, retractable boom microphone, and the 3.5mm headphone input port. These are some of the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever tested.Īll of the connections and on-headset controls are located on the left earcup. The result of these design decisions is a headset that feels robust in the hand but doesn’t weigh very much and in hours of gaming I never felt any kind of fatigue. They are removable and changeable if they are not to your tastes, however. The earcups that ship with the Nova Pros are a leatherette material around a soft, plush padding that fits my ears really, really well. The two earpieces are also plastic except for the interchangeable metal speaker plates that allow you to customize the look of the cans. The top of the headset features a lightweight metal plate above a plastic bottom that sits above the flexible fabric band that actually rests on the crown of your head. SteelSeries balanced the materials of the Arctis Nova Pro extremely well. The Pro Wireless (opens in new tab) and the Pro + DAC (opens in new tab) retail at $329.99 and $249.99, respectively.12 Images SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro – Design and Build Quality The only setback for both models may be the price, but you get what you pay for when it comes to great audio. It may not be Hi-Res certified like the Pro + DAC, but the audio quality is right up there, and it has Bluetooth support and a great battery swap system. If you wish to go all out and cut cables in the process, the Pro Wireless is as good as you can get from SteelSeries. RGB lighting is a nice touch, and the DAC amp unit makes the headset a breeze to configure and use. The experience will be wired and tied to a PC to get the most out of available sound, but that's a price many see worth the cost of being able to wander around freely. The Pro + DAC by SteelSeries is a fantastic upgrade for any gamer looking to enjoy truly high-quality audio.
