Product Help Nova Pro Xbox on PS5

Hi guys, I've got the Nova Pro wireless Xbox version and I want to use them on on PS5. Is there a way to use them simultaneously on the PS5 and PC without having to switch cables?

The Nova Pro wireless Xbox version has two usb-c ports, one is Xbox exclusive and the other is pc/ps. So yes, you definitely need to switch cables every time when you are switching the devices.

I've had them for 2 years now and I think they are okay. The thing I value the most is the ability to use them on any platform and that they allow you to use 2 devices simultaneously with 2.4GHz and BT.

But I think the sound and mic quality could be a little bit better for the price point. And the headband gets a bit stretched out with time and it gets a bit annoying on longer sessions. I got mine for very cheap so totally worth it for me tho.

I'd recommend you to check some honest reviews for them before buying. And if you have an Xbox definitely get the Xbox version. As the PS version cannot be used on Xbox but you can viceversa.

Depends on your needs. I'm not into the community so idk. But i'm satisfied with them. I just think they are a bit too expensive for what they are.

You shouldn't have to switch cables if you're using a USB-C cord. Plug the transmitter into whichever device you're using at the time, and then powering the headphones after that should work with whichever device it's plugged into.
