Our expert review

With the Arctis Nova 5 you can game long and comfortably.

  • Many connection options
  • Nice sound
  • Good battery life
  • Little difference between audio profiles

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless is a comfortable wireless gaming headset with a long battery life. I play many different types of games and every game sounds good, I hear clearly where sounds come from in games. The special Nova 5 app is a nice extra, but ultimately adds little.

First impression
I take the Nova 5 out of the box and immediately notice that the headset is lighter than the average wireless headset. The ear cushions are soft and fit completely over my ears. The headset does feel less sturdy than, for example, the Nova 7. The microphone is extendable and easy to bend. The headband is also easily adjustable.

Many connection options
After the first impression it is time for a gaming session. The Arctis Nova 5 is a wireless headset, which means that you can only connect the headset wirelessly. Fortunately, I find enough options for connecting in the manual. The headset has Bluetooth and a USB-C dongle. This allows me to easily connect the Arctis Nova 5 to the PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC. I cannot connect this headset wirelessly to the Xbox. Fortunately, SteelSeries has made a Nova 5 model for every platform, so you can game wirelessly on every platform.

Beautiful sound experience
I tested the Arctis Nova 5 with several games, from Helldivers 2 to Paper Mario. I also used the headset to listen to music. I actually always think the sound is beautiful and spacious. This is probably due to the special Nova Acoustic System, because even on the Nintendo Switch my games sound good. It sounds even better on PlayStation and PC because surround sound is supported there. The Nova 5 also has a special app that allows me to adjust the settings even further. In the app I can choose from more than 100 audio profiles for specific games, a nice addition, but I don't notice much difference between the profiles. Fortunately, I also adjust the volume of my microphone and other settings in the app.

Good battery life
When unpacking, I notice that the Arctis Nova 5 is quite light, which is very nice while gaming. But I was afraid that this would be at the expense of the battery. Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth, I played for hours and the battery easily reached the promised 60 hours. So I don't worry about interrupting my gaming session.

Great headset for both gaming and entertainment

  • sound
  • comfort
  • price
  • sometimes lacks a bit of bass

I have been testing this headset for a number of weeks now. Unpacking was already great because it was professionally and well packed.
The sound quality is very solid out-of-the-box, there is a bit of bass missing here and there, but that is certainly not disturbing. In the companion app for either your mobile phone or a Windows PC you can use multiple audio presets, which in many cases allows you to increase the bass or adjust the sound differently so that it better suits your purposes.
The wearing comfort is really great, thanks to the elastic band and the memory foam earpads you can wear the headset for hours without experiencing any discomfort. However, you have to be careful if you have larger ears, because the ear cups are not very large.
So far I have never had any problems with the wireless connection(s) or the battery, it lasts a long time so you almost never have to charge it. And the connection with both a Bluetooth device and the 2.4 GHz dongle works great, changing this connection is also easy with a button on the headset itself.
All in all a great headset for the price, definitely recommended!!!!

Fantastic wireless headphones

  • Quality sound
  • wearing comfort
  • crystal clear microphone
  • big dongle

This headset has been extensively tested. Been using it for a few weeks now.
So far very pleased with the Arctis Nova 5.

I really like the design of the headset. Completely black and super sleek. Exactly what I was looking for.
The headset is also very light, which improves wearing comfort. The headband and ear cups are both adjustable, so the headset fits me wonderfully. I can wear these for hours on end without really noticing.

The headset is wireless, so you can connect via the supplied dongle or via Bluetooth. The connection was successful quickly. Switching between the two options is also very easy.

The sound quality is excellent. Nice full and clear sound.
I installed the corresponding app on my phone. Pairing this with the headset was done quickly. The app is quite basic. Tried different audio profiles in the beginning. I couldn't tell much difference between the numerous options.
I have now set the headset to an audio profile of a game that I play a lot. I'm not going to change this anymore because I mainly play 1 game. As a result, the app has now actually become redundant for me.

I think the wireless range is very good. I can walk through the entire house without any disturbances or loss of sound. The battery life is also great! I can game for a long time without having to charge the headset in between. The headset will be full again in no time, after which you can continue for hours.

The quality of the microphone is crystal clear. According to the people who can hear me online, my voice is clear and audible. Perhaps a little too good. I take this into account by placing the microphone a little further from my mouth. This will mainly be because there is little or no noise reduction. Fortunately, the microphone is bendable, so no problem. After use, the microphone can be retracted, which I like.

The only downside I have discovered so far is the large dongle. I placed this in the front of my Playstation, so I can no longer use the USB port next to it. This port normally contains my cable for charging my controller. It's quite easy to solve but not ideal.

All in all, I am happy with my purchase. I think the price is commensurate with the quality. If this headset were to break in the future, I would buy the same one again.
