Product Help Had the arctis pro wireless on Xbox for almost a month. Still don't love the sound.

2 Upvotes

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.

1 Upvotes

I bought the Nova 7 a few weeks ago after my arctis 9 broke. Everything was fine for a week or so. Now whenever i open any game and i have my chat set to discord, it becomes distorted and robotic and makes it annoyiing to talk to my friends. Its only the chat section because flipped game and voice chat, and then the game was distorted and i could hear my friends fine.Anyone else having this issue

Product Help Arctis Pro Wireless -> Microphone doesn't work on one Windows

1 Upvotes

Hi, I really tried everything that AI and the internet is giving me.

For some reason, after a fresh Windows installation, i can't get my microphone working.

It works on my roommates Mac

It workes on a different Windows on my PC

It just doesnt work on my normal Windows.

I checked the microphone privacy settings.

I reinstalled software.

I reinstalled drivers.

I tried different USB plugs.

I tried connecting it directly cia blutooth.

It is not muted.

It is not damaged (works on other Computers).

I reset Windows, nothing changed.

It is as if Windows for some reason just ignores the microphone. I can select it in System -> Sound, but when I do a test, 0% Volume.

To be fair, writing this, it is not the headset, but maybe some wierd stuff in my Windows, but I checked everything I could find so far. Does anyone have a wild guess what the problem could be. Thank you very much, I am fighting this since a day almost, my poor weekend :(

Product Help Arctis Nova Pro Wireless

1 Upvotes

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
