If you're looking for premium sound quality and features, it's going to be hard to find a headset as well-rounded as the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless — and at $249.99 during the early Prime Day sale right now, it's a no-brainer.
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless usually retails for $379.99, meaning the Prime Day sale can save you a cool $130 off this top-tier gaming headset. This marks the lowest price we've seen for it all year, so if you've been holding off for a good sale, this may just be the perfect time to leap.
In our 10/10 review of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, we said this headset "delivers fantastic spatial gaming audio and high-quality sound for music, and its multi-platform connectivity and simultaneous-device support mean it could be the one and only audio device you need for all your gaming platforms and daily listening."
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless has phenomenal sound quality and killer active noise cancelling. But it's perhaps most loved for its versatility, allowing you to effortlessly switch between platforms with a quick press of a button. So, whether you're on a PlayStation, Switch, or PC, you can easily hop back and forth without having to swap any annoying cables.
Additionally, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless comes with two batteries, letting you hot-swap between them to ensure your headset never runs out of juice. This sounds like overkill on paper, but it might just come in handy on those long gaming nights.
Given the popularity of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, you may want to act fast, as Prime Day deals tend to sell out more quickly than you'd expect, even when they arrive before actual Prime Day.
Is There a Better Alternative?
If you're shopping for a high-end gaming headset, nothing really does compare to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro. IGN has tested a ton of gaming headsets and the Nova Pro Wireless has continued to be the best there is. Considering this is the lowest price we've ever seen on this headset, it's absolutely worth picking up if you have the cash for it.
With that in mind, $250 is still a lot to spend on a gaming accessory. If you're looking for something that's still good with similar wireless connectivity, we recommend the Asus ROG Pelta gaming headset. We gave it a high score in our hands-on review and consider it to be the best mid-range gaming headset on the market right now.
