TheSteelSeriesArctis Nova Pro Wireless has been my go-to for years, but if I was in love with the original black model I’m head over heels for the newer white version. The latest release only hit the shelves in May, offering an all-white plastic frame and silver headband/cup panels. However, it’s already shed its price tag a couple of times in the past - and Amazon’s upped the ante today.
In fact, this is the kind of sales price I tend to spot on the more limited PC / PlayStation model, with the more widely compatible Xbox version sticking closer to its launch rate. If you play across a range of different platforms, though, today’s your lucky day.
All of this comes a week ahead of officialPrime Day gaming deals, but I’m not expecting too many further discounts on this device. It’s thebest gaming headseton the market right now, in a luxury configuration and a brand-new colorway. At best, we could see an extra $4 off the final cost - but this discount is also just as likely to run off the shelves before Amazon’s summer sale even begins. These kinds of savings typically only last a few days at a time.

Should you buy the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless?
If you’re looking to invest in a high-endwireless gaming headsetthat can go the distance across a range of different platforms, I wouldn’t be looking anywhere else right now. TheSteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wirelessis the best in the business with a gorgeously rich soundstage, comfortable form factor, active noise cancellation, handy hot-swappable battery features, and a dedicated EQ hub for easy console tweaks as well. That’s far more than you’ll find in pretty much every other gaming headset on the market right now, and today’s sale price means it doesn’t top the price charts either.
There are only two scenarios I would find myself warning others off the Nova Pro; if you mostly play on PC but still have a PS5 or Xbox in the same setup, or if you only play on one platform.
In the case of the former, those with the budget should also be considering theAstro A50 X. That’s a heavy-hitter, with a whopping $379.99 price tag (Amazon) that hasn’t moved an inch since its release earlier this year. However, if you’re looking to splash some cash its HDMI KVM switching features, boosted graphene drivers, and handy charging dock make for compelling extras - especially if you’re constantly switching between consoles and PC. This is where I point big spenders who need the best multiplatform headset on the market.
If you’re on the other end of that spectrum and only stick to one platform, then it might be worth going a little cheaper. If you don’t need the multi-connection hub features then there’s no point in paying for them, and more budget-friendly options like theSteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wirelesscan even boast their own unique console tricks. This is the newest SteelSeries headset, retailing at$129 (Amazon). While it doesn’t quite have the audio chops to take on the Pro, itdoesfeature the same drivers as the Nova 7 (a more expensive but older release) and also impresses with its dedicated EQ preset app. That’s not something you see in PS5 / Xbox headsets too often, which is why it’s currently my favorite option for console players.
