SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless Gaming Headset Multi-System Xbox PC Magnetic Neodymium Drivers Over 100 Audio Presets 60H Battery Life 2.4 GHz or BT ClearCast Gen2.X-Mik White

EDIT: If you're using this headset on PC there's a little switch on the back of the dongle, change this from XBOX to USB and you will now have the option for Discord Certified inside the Discord audio/video options, this avoids all the issues I had in the beginning. I've been using the AN5X for a few days now, which replaced my broken Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 and overall I prefer it over the more expensive Razer headset. I'll get the bad out of the way first though, and that's the microphone, it's slightly above average for a wireless headset but it's a noticeable downgrade over my Blackshark, it's not even in the same league. I also had major issues with it on Discord, all of my friends commented on how awful I sounded, but when I recorded myself it sounded fine, after a lot of frustration I discovered that I needed to disable noise gate and noise suppression built into Discord, as they seem to conflict with the Sonar software, after doing this my microphone improved 100x, but as I said earlier, it's still not amazing. I would also advise enabling compressor in Sonar and maxing it out, otherwise you'll be extremely quiet on Discord even at 200% volume. I would like to see Steelseries and Discord work together to add the AN5X to the certified list, this would remove the frustration I initially went through. Now onto the good, the headset is very comfortable, the ear pads are extremely soft and even with my big head they fit perfectly with almost no clamping force at all. I can game all day without any ear or head pain at all. Sound quality is good and bad, out of the box they're okay but luckily the Sonar software has the best EQ I've ever used, you can very precisely customize the sound and really bring out the potential of the headset. I would highly recommend that you check out the Youtube channel GadgetryTech, his EQ settings for music made a massive difference, music went from sounding decent to incredible, it was truly night and day. You can also switch between Bluetooth and wireless with a press of a button, so you can use your headset on PC or console and instantly switch to your phone for a call or to listen to music, this works much more seamlessly than on the Blackshark. The Sonar software is very competent and feature rich (on PC at least, you get far less features if you're using the headset on Xbox), and the AN5X comes with over 30 pre-installed EQ presets for different games, with some hits, and some misses. I personally use the Diablo IV, Call of Duty and Fallout 76 ones and they've all been great. I would recommend leaving spatial audio off though, as with all fake surround sound it just doesn't sound right, turning it off keeps the audio pure. I would also increase the clearcast AI noise cancellation to 75%, as my friends could hear me doing stuff in the background at the default 50%. I can't speak to the build quality or durability as I've only had the headset a few days, but it does feel very cheap as it's almost all plastic, which does make it very light (which is a positive in my book), but I cannot say if it will hold up to the test of time, my advice would be to treat it like a newborn baby. One last thing is noise isolation, this is personal preference whether it's a positive or a negative but it doesn't have the best noise isolation, so you can hear yourself speak and other noise around you, which I personally prefer, but if you want full isolation this isn't the headset for you, that being said it does cancel out a decent amount of background noise, just not all of it, and noticeably less than my Blackshark. I think it's the perfect middle ground, where you're not hearing every little thing but you can still hear someone speaking to you or the doorbell ringing. Overall for the price it's a great headset, you could make an argument for a high 4/5 or low 5/5. With a better microphone it would be an absolute slam dunk 5/5. I would have preferred it to retail at £150 MSRP with a better mic, but I'm very conscious of how my mic sounds so I don't become the "bad mic" guy on Discord.

Great lightweight headset, works flawlessly with my Xbox Series X. Comfortable to wear, decent battery life and a good selection of volume controls and application features. Connects via Bluetooth and 2.4. Not as good as my Hyper X Cloud Alpha wireless with it's 300 hour battery, but I needed a decent lightweight headset for playing on the console lay down so this headset doesn't get in the way or make my head/ears really sweaty. It's not the most premium quality but it feels durable enough, only time will tell. Not sure if the microphone is replaceable if it breaks which is a negative if not, I do prefer detachable microphones. The receiver dongle is atrocious quality and a very strange shape, would be much better if it was USB-A and shaped like the usual stick receivers, that way it could plug directly into the console, not sure why they picked USB-C. The receiver is extremely flimsy and feels like it won't take much at all to snap it. I have mine plugged into the back of an RGB console stand and I've not noticed any audio delay or reduction in quality over running a cable from the Xbox and plugging it into that.

Really happy with this headset. - I like how it works on Xbox Series consoles and PlayStation 5 as I play on both of them. - It’s over ear so your ears fit nicely inside making it comfier. - Light build but isn't flimsy. - Very good battery life. - Audio quality is very good and can hear everything games have to offer (footsteps and bass for example). - The steelseries arctis companion app is great as you can set audio presets for whichever game you play and gives the best audio quality for that specific game. Overall I’d say this headset is good for the price and I’ve had no issues so far (had for a few months).

This review specifically refers to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless Headphones for the xBox. This headset is close to 5 Stars for the following reasons: 1 Very light and comfortable to wear but still with a quality feel. 2 The headset can be used with an XBox console or with a PC but they will also connect via Bluetooth to my Android mobile phone, my PC and to my smart TV. 3 The microphone retracts out of view when not in use which is much better than a removable mic which could be misplaced or accidentally damaged. 4 This headset microphone has genuine sidetone which my previous Microsoft XBox wireless headset did not have. 5 The chat/game balance wheel and the volume wheel are knurled for easier control and have physical end stops at minimum and maximum volumes i.e. definitive travel in that they stop at minimum and at maximum volume unlike my previous Razer headphones which had an infuriating infinite scroll so I never knew when full volume had been reached or when the chat/Game balance was halfway. Additionally the Steelseries Chat/Game balance wheel has an easily felt click at the halfway point which is so helpful and which was again lacking in the Razer headset. 6 The controls on the earcups have a good protrusion so are easily identified by touch especially the mic mute button which also illuminates the red light on the mic when enabled. 7 The earcup padding is very soft and the headband does not give a headache inducing squeeze so they are comfortable no matter how long the gaming session. 8 Yes there is a USB dongle required to use the headphones wirelessly but but this is a one time set up and connectivity is permanent after that May be the four stars is due to number 8 above but I am sure that after using this headset for a while I'll be back adding the fifth star so I highly recommend this headset.

Straight out the box they didn't sound that great but after a bit of tweaking in sonar on the desktop app and wow these are pretty impressive. The headphones themselves are really comfortable although the cups are a little on the smaller side but after 3 hours of use they were still comfortable to wear. The cushion is very soft and they don't hug your head to tightly while still being tight enough that they dont move around. I only live in a small flat so cant say how good the range is but certainly didnt have any connection issues at 15-20m through walls. The software is brilliant. I dont really have anything to compare it to as I was using a cheaper pair before with no software and routing my audio through obs to apply filters/noise gates etc. Its so convenient being able to just drag sources to a specific channel and I found the equilizer and surround sound gave me ample options to tweak my audio. It also comes with plenty of presets for games, movies and music which offer a good starting point. The microphone surpassed expectations. It's not the best quality I've ever heard but certainly up there for headphone mics. More than clear enough for voice chat and probably even content creation to begin with. I mostly have been testing using my pc but have set the app up on mobile and it looks pretty useful if you're going to be using console or mobile.

The quality of these headphones is top notch, and they are comfortable too! The reason for me giving only a 3-star rating is because of technical issues I have been having using it with my computer. The headset reads as an Xbox controller, but even weirder, the associated app creates numerous different audio channels, all of which my PC defaults between. But these channels don't have their individual audio, so I am getting no sound whatsoever and I have to troubleshoot it at least once a day.

Great mid range headset - personal opinion of course but I think the best at its price range. Just buy it with confidence. It’s a great wireless headset equally good with Xbox as PC and the multiple, multiple, individual game settings work really well and are easy to set using the free app. As I said just buy one

It’s a lovely headset that sits comfortably on my head and ears, even with glasses you’re good. Going from wired to this wireless headset has been a night and day difference. Can freely roam with these on anywhere. The thousands of EQ profiles u can select from the app or you can create for yourself is a game changer. The Mic pop in mechanic makes it so that you can take it outside and use it as regular headphones for listening to whatever you like

من افضل السماعات اللي شريتها من ناحية صوت ومايك واداء ممتاز انصح فيها وبشدة بطاريتها تعيش معك اسبوعين تقريباً وصوتها صافي وحلو والله

it is missing the 2.4ghz usb dongle. tight fit on my big head.

Uso le SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X da diversi mesi sia per lavoro (call su Teams da ore intere) che per un po’ di svago serale, e devo dire che mi hanno davvero conquistato, sostituendo di fatto le mie compiante Corsair Virtuoso SE (un macigno per il mio collo, soprattutto dopo parecchie ore). Innanzitutto, sono leggerissime e comodissime: anche dopo 8h di lavoro non fanno nè sudare, nè affaticano il collo. I padiglioni in memory foam (sostituibili!) e l’archetto regolabile (personalizzabile) sono veramente una gioia per la mia testa. L’audio è cristallino, sia in ingresso che in uscita — i colleghi mi sentono perfettamente anche in ambienti rumorosi, grazie al microfono con cancellazione del rumore ed il GG Sonar, che enfatizzano la mia voce anche in ambienti particolarmente rumorosi o con chiacchiericcio in sottofondo, come in una sala server, o in ufficio. In cuffia la voce e la musica risultano pulite e bilanciate (forse "troppo", ma nulla che non possa essere sistemato con una buona equalizzazione). La batteria permette tranquillamente decine di ore di autonomia e si ricaricaricano talmente in fretta tramite USB-C che ogni tot giorni le attacco per qualche mezz'ora al PC e sostanzialmente le trovo sempre "piene". Forse per molti potrebbe non essere un cruccio, ma le cuffie sono in grado di gestire straordinariamente qualità audio (sia in ingresso, che in uscita) anche in bluetooth, collegate ad un portatile di fascia media o al mio Realme GT Neo 2. Ho scoperto questa "feature" perchè più di qualche volta mi capita purtroppo di dimenticare il dongle 2.4GHz attaccato al mio PC fisso e di trovarmi senza in ufficio😂 Nel complesso sono delle cuffie versatili, affidabili e comode. Perfette per chi lavora molto in call ma vuole anche ascoltare musica o giocare con un audio di livello. ------ Pro✅: ✅Estremamente leggere e confortevoli anche per ore ✅Batteria lunghissima, da specifiche 50+hrs ✅Microfono retrattile dalla qualità eccezionale ✅Connessione multi-dispositivo wireless + Bluetooth Contro❌: ❌Purtroppo, se trasportate senza protezione, tendono a graffiarsi col tempo ❌Di default, l'equalizzazione enfatizza principalmente le medie frequenze ❌App Android migliorabile ❌Software GG e Sonar veramente versatili, ma non proprio intuitivi

Razer Blackshark V2 x kablolu kulaklık kullanıyordum kablosu kötü durumdaydı. Uzun zamandır kablosuz arayışındaydım baktım indirime girmiş 4600 civarına aldım steelseriesi. Kulaklık gerçekten harika kablosuz kullanmak çok iyiymiş. Kulaklığın sol kısımdaki tekerlğiyle ses kısma arttırma var bu normal tabi ama sağdaki tekerlek ile oyun seslerini kısıp discordda arkadaşınızın sesini kısmadan çok rahat konuşabiliyorsunuz. Ben bunu ilk defa gördüğüm için çok hoşuma gitti. Kulaklığın birçok ayarı var baya kurcalamak lazım. Ben bazır ayarlanmış profillerden kullanıyorum sonra ince detaylarını yapıcam. Kulaklığın tek sıkıntısı bana göre benim kafam mı büyük bilmiyorum sıkıyor gibi. Kulaklarıma sıcaklık basıyor gibi ilk kullandığımda bunaltmıştı hatta başıma döner gibi olduydu. Kumaşından dolayımı sıcaklık basıyor bilmiyorum. Biraz esnetiyom bazen daha alalı 1 gün oldu. Biraz kullanınca alışırım diye düşünüyorum umarım biraz daha esner yoksa hiç iade etmek istemiyorum gerçekten çok sevdim. Tek korkum kulak pedi beyaz kumaş olduğu için çok kirlenir mi emin değilim umarım sararmaz. Siyah indirimde olsaydı iyi olcaktı ama beyaz pc kasamla çok güzel uyumlu oldular.

AUCUN SOUCI depuis plus d'un ans . bon rapport qualité prix bon sons .
