The athletic foam has been swapped for leatherette to boost bass response and improve passive noise isolation, which together with a higher clamping force ensures the headset remains in position. The fabric suspension headband that debuted on the original Arctis headsets returns to provide a comfortable fit, but a new frame design and three headband positions allows the headsets to suit a wider range of head sizes. The base stations also serve as a DAC (for the wired version) and a wireless transmitter / spare battery charger (for the wireless version), with a screen, dial and button used to show sound and battery levels, select and modify EQ settings and so on. On Xbox versions of the ANP and ANPW, one port supports the Xbox but the headsets are otherwise identical. These premium headsets supersede the earlier Arctis Pro and Arctis Pro Wireless and represent a significant step forward over what were already competitive options - especially on the wireless model which becomes an all-in-one option with the addition of simultaneous Bluetooth and active noise cancellation (ANC).Įach model comes with a base station with two USB inputs, allowing you to connect to a console and PC, or two consoles, then swap quickly between the two sources. The £250/ $250 SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro and £330/ $350 Arctis Nova Pro Wireless are the best gaming headsets available, thanks to their excellent sound quality, comfortable design and wide compatibility.
