SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5: Affordable luxury along with 100+ game-specific audio profiles

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova series is known for its value-driven gaming headsets. The latest addition, the Arctis Nova 5, makes its SG debut and pushes the value proposition towards the entry-level mark. A decent dual wireless gaming headset for $229 with SteelSeries reliability is pretty enticing, and it can be had for cheaper if you scrounge around.

At the heart of the Arctis Nova 5 is the Nova 5 Companion App, which brings sports over 100 meticulously tweaked audio profiles specific to the most popular games like Fortnite, Apex Legends and Diablo 4.

They've been designed by a team of audio engineers, esports pros, and game developers to make it easier to hear critical in-game sounds and give you a distinct competitive advantage.

Whether you're immersed in the strategic chaos of Fortnite or navigating the blocky world of Minecraft, these audio profiles ensure you have a slight edge over those who don't.

SteelSeries designed these headphones to be controlled by the app, so you don't need to connect to your desktop computer and bring up a console just to make a slight tweak. The presets can be changed in real time.

Premium Features, Entry-Mid Price

Put aside the app, and you'll find that SteelSeries has packed the Arctis Nova 5 with features that rival higher-end models. The custom-designed Neodymium magnetic drivers deliver an ultra-detailed soundscape to capture every subtle footstep or distant explosion.

With an impressive 60+ hours of battery life, the Nova 5 is perfect for marathon gaming sessions. If you're ever caught short, a quick 15-minute charge gives you another six hours of play.

With the Quick-Switch Wireless functionality, you can easily toggle between high-speed 2.4GHz and Bluetooth 5.3 connections, keeping you connected to your game without missing a beat.

Whether you're swapping between your console, PC, or mobile, the Nova 5 ensures you stay in the game. Interestingly, the retractable ClearCast 2.X Mic is a better microphone (100-10,000 Hz @ 32kHz/16bit) than the one found on its bigger brother, the Nova 7.

Catch It at COMEX 2024

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 will go on sale at COMEX 2024 (Aug 29 to Sept 1) for those who want to experience it firsthand. Whether you're looking to upgrade your current setup or explore what premium gaming audio feels like at an entry-mid price point, the Arctis Nova 5 is worth a look.
