SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless - Multi-System Gaming Headset - Neodymium Magnetic Drivers - Active Noise Cancellation - Infinity Power System - ClearCast Gen 2 Mic - PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Mobile

To my great surprise, they are not comfortable. I have been using SteelSeries Arctis 7 for many years, and other headphones before, and had no issues. I started to google, and found lots of people complaining about the same. There are large discussions on Reddit where people recommend buying 3D printed cushion adapters and install cushions from other models.Also, there is a very long stick inside the ear cushion that can stick to your ear. For me, it doesn't bother me as much, it's just my ears get very tired, while I could use the previous version for 7-8 hour nonstop.In any case, I am still trying to get used to them. Otherwise, these are the best headphones on the market feature wise.I will update this review if I decide to change ear cushions.***Update after a week of use***I got used to the cushions or/and they became softer quite quickly. The "hook" doesn't bother me either; I am quite lucky. It is possible to "hang" the headphone a little higher by adjusting the strap, thus changing the location of the hook.Love the features and quality of the sound for gaming. As I use wireless, it is inferior to my bose when listening to music. I love the simultaneous wifi/Bluetooth connection and the ability to answer my phone without changing the headphones. This is SUPERB. Although I lost a couple of counter-strike rounds due to alarms/calls and my phone being in a different room, so I might decide to still play with that feature further. Changing my rating to 4.Update after a month of use:Changing the rating to 5. The headphones are superb and no longer bother me at all. They became as soft as needed. I mean, they are still quite stiff but totally comfortable. Being able to be connected to your phone and PC is a game changer.

I have been anti-gaming headset for quite some time. Once upon a time i bought into the Razer, Turtle Beach and Astro hype. Even had a few Hyper-X models. Then decided to try my audiophile Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro for gaming and never looked back. Since then i have used Hifiman HE4xx, Sennheiser 58x, Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro's and a slew of other dynamic and planar magnetic headphones for my gaming pleasure. However, after watching several reviews on these Arctis Nova's, i decided to purchase a set for my wife as she is allergic to wires and wanted to have the freedom that only wireless provides. While setting up the headphones for her, i tested them in games and with high res Spotify tracks. I was floored at the sound quality. Not quite as crisp as my Beyerdynamic DT1990's, but a far cry from the gaming headsets of yore. Sub-bass response was impressive and I liked the ability to adjust the soundstage. They were comfortable even though the earcups are pleather and while typically i prefer velour or Steelseries own AirWeave, i found my ears were not as toasty as i expected them to be. I once wore them for 4 hours straight and forgot they were on my head! I was so impressed, i bought another pair for myself. Steelseries GG software is easy to navigate and setup, and I set up the EQ to mimic the sound profile of my Beyer's. I still use Audiophile grade headphones for serious music listening, but I've permanently switched to these Nova's as my daily drivers and I can now enjoy being able to take a potty break or grab a snack from the kitchen while being able to hear my games/music in the background (especially helpful when you're queuing for matchmaking!) while no longer having to deal with the first world problem of inadvertently yanking out my headphone cable from my headphone amplifier by mistake which happens far more often than i'd like to admit!

one of the best gaming headsets i have ever tried, the fact that you have a hot-swappable battery is so convenient, you never have to worry about your headset running out of battery, just swap it right away and you have a fully charged headset in an instant, has great sound and noise cancelling feature which is really helpful when you have noisy kids around, and there are more options to be discovered in the software as well!
