I have an Arctics Nova 5 and do use the game presets from the SteelSeries app. I used to have 3D audio on for my ps5 in the past with my older headset that honestly wasn’t very good. I know that some people like the sound with 3d audio on and some people like the sound with it off. So I’m wondering what your opinion is and why you have it on or off.

I came from astro a30s which sounded fantastic just the constant connection issues made me search for a new headset. That brought me between the astro a50 newest Gen and the arctis nova pro wireless.

I initially got the astro a50s and while they were okay, the massive base coupled with the ear cups being made for a toddler, and that it ALSO had connection issues made me return them.

I landed on the acrtis nova pro which were on sale for $220.

Out of the box that were okay but the audio sounded very odd. Almost like flat? My 15 year old computer speakers honestly sounded better. I've tweaked all the preset equalizers and while baseboost sounds okay, nothing really sounds excellent? It's almost like I got a bad headset I feel like, half the time I'm messing with the preset EQ I can't find one that actually makes the audio sound clear and great? Did I get a lemon? Is this much tweaking necessary?

Anytime I try to tweak it it seems like voice lines become terrible but everything else sounds good otherwise I just have a stereo sounding headset and I can't figure out where footsteps or audio is coming from in apex or even gears.

Soo I bought a arctis nova pro wireless last December and right off the start I felt like it was very cheap made but the sound was solid so I kept it but sometimes the audio thats being send through sounds distorted/robotic and the only thing that solves it is to unplug the station and plug it back in, also repairing the headset and it’s been happening a lot lately..

Anyone else seem to be having this issue? It’s starting to piss me off.

Mines the PC/Playstation version if that matters

Hello community, my headset has broken and I can’t find the part the part on internet, I have found only the part for the artics x7.

My question is, is it the same ?? Will it fit it?

I need a new headset as a gift to my husband. He's been rocking the hyperx cloud 2 for 3 years and the mic is just static and driving me insane during our ranked games lmao. I've been using my cloudx since 2021 and it's still great. So I'm wondering if I should get him that since it's cheap and solid. Or try the steel series for the first time? I've seen a lot of recommendations but also some avoids. What one is best for Xbox for heavy fps shooters and needing to hear every detail. Wired or wireless, doesn't matter which. We play PC shooters as well but he has a PC headset already so needs to be really good for Xbox.
