SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2024-07-31

After working a bit with the settings in Sonar, we fired up The Callisto Protocol, DOOM, Wolfenstein: The New Order but also Escape The Backrooms. Even if we are dealing with 40mm drivers, the audio quality is well balanced, with clear highs and well represented bass. We did enjoy the spatialization, while the microphone quality really impresses in terms of clarity.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

SteelSeries has recently released another member of their Arctis Nova audio series of headsets, the Arctis Nova 5 Wireless mainstream model, with no less than 60 hours of rated battery life, wireless and Bluetooth connectivity options but also a brand-new dedicated software application for portable Android and iOS systems. It comes with compatibility with a large range of systems and does support connection to both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth at the same time, to allow easy swap between these two, while the fast charge mode allows 6 hours of use while charging for only 15 minutes!

 

The product is shipped inside a medium-sized cardboard enclosure, sporting the usual SteelSeries box art colors and styling; the frontal area does show a photo of the main product, along with the main highlights shown as drawings, but also the list of compatible devices:
