SteelSeries Arctis Nova 4 Wireless Multi-Platform Gaming Headset

Super comfortable, if maybe a bit heavy to someone who’s not used to wearing full headphones. The microphone according to the people I talk to on discord say that it sounds great. Great noise cancellation, super nice sound, and the band that goes over your head does a really good job of keeping the top of the headphones from squishing into your head. It also looks like it’s replaceable in case it wears out, which is very nice. I will say that the c plug that comes with it is kind of bulky, and I am very nervous about bumping it and damaging it by mistake, so instead of it being a little USB dongle, that I can leave in, I have to pull it out of the computer every time I’m done using it. Otherwise though it’s been a really great headset, especially for someone who’s on a budget but still needs high-quality. Highly recommended.

I just got these and they are great. The sound quality is pretty good, more bass then the arctis 1’s That I had which is a plus. Audio on game is also amazing. Audio sound will vary depending on the person. I will say though that the audio right out of the box isn't the greatest. If you're someone who is getting this for their PC I highly reccomend you download the software so that you can tweak the audio to your liking. Another thing I wanna add is that the mic is just alright. not the best but it is a gaming headset but The audio from it is clear enough that your teamates will understand what you're saying. The comfortability of these is also just great. There is a slight pinch but it shouldn’t be a huge deal as it goes away as you wear them. As of 9/23/2024 These headphones no longer have the pinch and fit snuggly around my ears. Overall, they’re amazing, especially if you get them discounted. I would not reccomend you get these for the full price. I got these for $80 which is why I see good value in them.

Overall, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 4 Wireless Gaming Headset is an excellent choice for gamers looking for comfort, quality audio, and multi-platform compatibility. Its thoughtful design and impressive performance make it a worthy investment for anyone serious about their gaming experience.

I have tried many headsets. I use the same headset for work and gaming which is like half a day at a minimum. So far only 2 headsets are acceptable for me for long hours of usage comfort wise. The previous one I used for several years was Arctis 7. Now I switched over to Arctic Nova 4 as it is more lightweight (and should even be more comfortable). It didn't disappoint in that aspect. I really care about comfort and can live with the average sounds, features etc.. I bought this for the exact reason and my expectations are met.

This is a very good entry-level headset for PC gamers who want a good quality headset for a low price with decent quality, it’s very straightforward and simple to use, it’s lightweight and very comfortable on the head. The headset charges with a USB-C cable, and it comes with a USB-C wireless adapter for the headset. The steel series arctis nova 4 is all plastic and feels very durable. it has a built-in mic and also a mute button and a adjustable headband and you can also use the steel series app on pc for the sonar audio and more settings for enhanced spatial awareness. With that being said, i highly recommend you give this headset a try.

My child saved and purchased this headset. First it cracked on the headband where there is a seam on the underside within the first 3 months. Then shortly after the headband cracked the power button stopped working. Not able to push it in the turn on the headset. Contacted the company since we’d only had it less than 5 months, and they say they don’t cover that kind of damage. I can maybe understand not cover the cracked headset (although it cracked in their own seam with just normal wear) but the power button not working? Poor quality headset and even poorer customer care.

I use these daily for work and gaming. I love these for how comfortable they are, and how clean the sound quality is.

Overall didn't have any problems with it, but the mic will randomly stop working. Example: in game with friends with normal communication. All the sudden my friends start asking "is he talking?" "his mic stopped working randomly." I have to restart my PC EVERYTIME this issue happens with no fixes on the internet that work. good sound quality, but there is no noise cancellation whatsoever. If anything, this mic picks up the quietest sounds. I'm constantly having to apologize for background noise. My friend even jokes that he can hear the birds outside when I have my window open. Also, the headphones will randomly pick days where the sound will be REALLY quiet or really loud meaning I have to adjust my PC's sound settings every couple weeks. These should not be priced over $100 if it can't do what's advertised. 3/5 because when it does work it works well.

been using these a good while now. The sound is great, bass is boomin. very comfy on top of the head, but a bit tight on the lower part of your ears where your jaw connects to your skull, can cause headaches. especially with people who wear glasses. i ended up cutting grooves into the foam so my glasses didnt feel compressed against my head. make sure you have a USB C port on your pc for the dongle, or buy a usb A - usb C adapter (i got a 2pk for less than $10). but overall, an awesome pair of headphones! cant attest for the mic as i use a usb mic, but i definitely recommend these to anyone!

I previously was using the Corsair void elite wireless headset, which is at a similar price point as the Nova 4, however this headset surpasses the Corsair in all aspects in my opinion. Extremely comfortable (most don't properly fit my small head), buttons are easy to use, syncs immediately, sound quality is crisp, noise cancellation is great, and the 3D audio on PS5 was an added bonus. According to those I game with the mic is also very clear. This is my first Steelseries headset and I will probably be sticking with this brand from here on out!

Cool and good quality

Loved the 3. 4 is great too. I like that the microphone can be "put away" by pushing it into the headset and it is easy to pull it back out again. After ~6 months, everything is still working great.

Ajustable fit. Easy to set up wireless. Light weight sits comfortably. Retractable mic can be stored out of the way when not in use. Good sound. Works as required.
