Our expert review

With the Arctis Nova 5 you can game long and comfortably.

  • Many connection options
  • Nice sound
  • Good battery life
  • Little difference between audio profiles

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless is a comfortable wireless gaming headset with a long battery life. I play many different types of games and every game sounds good, I hear clearly where sounds come from in games. The special Nova 5 app is a nice extra, but ultimately adds little.

First impression
I take the Nova 5 out of the box and immediately notice that the headset is lighter than the average wireless headset. The ear cushions are soft and fit completely over my ears. The headset does feel less sturdy than, for example, the Nova 7. The microphone is extendable and easy to bend. The headband is also easily adjustable.

Many connection options
After the first impression it is time for a gaming session. The Arctis Nova 5 is a wireless headset, which means that you can only connect the headset wirelessly. Fortunately, I find enough options for connecting in the manual. The headset has Bluetooth and a USB-C dongle. This allows me to easily connect the Arctis Nova 5 to the PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC. I cannot connect this headset wirelessly to the Xbox. Fortunately, SteelSeries has made a Nova 5 model for every platform, so you can game wirelessly on every platform.

Beautiful sound experience
I tested the Arctis Nova 5 with several games, from Helldivers 2 to Paper Mario. I also used the headset to listen to music. I actually always think the sound is beautiful and spacious. This is probably due to the special Nova Acoustic System, because even on the Nintendo Switch my games sound good. It sounds even better on PlayStation and PC because surround sound is supported there. The Nova 5 also has a special app that allows me to adjust the settings even further. In the app I can choose from more than 100 audio profiles for specific games, a nice addition, but I don't notice much difference between the profiles. Fortunately, I also adjust the volume of my microphone and other settings in the app.

Good battery life
When unpacking, I notice that the Arctis Nova 5 is quite light, which is very nice while gaming. But I was afraid that this would be at the expense of the battery. Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth, I played for hours and the battery easily reached the promised 60 hours. So I don't worry about interrupting my gaming session.

Gaming-only headset

  • Value for money
  • Real gaming headset
  • Microphone too sensitive

Voices are extremely clear. Lower tones could be a bit louder. Bass especially is very limited. Strong bass in-game with many explosions is more likely to be a distraction and can drown out other sounds. So you don't want that too strongly in-game. But the moment I set the EQ Preset to Bass Boost in the companion app, I expect the headset to no longer mute the bass.

When you stop gaming and want to listen to music, you would probably want to keep the headset on. But this lackluster sound and absent bass do not provide the sound experience you would like. It's a shame that the pre-set options do so little. While that is the big selling point. 'Change settings without leaving your game. Nice, but it could have a little more effect. Especially if I want to listen to music with a fuller sound.

Furthermore, the app is not really stable and feels buggy. You cannot configure your own pre-sets, so you are completely dependent on what is offered. Shame.

The dongle to easily connect your headset to a gaming device or computer/laptop is absurdly wide. If USB connectors are placed horizontally next to each other (such as on laptops), there is a good chance that the dongle is also blocking the USB slot next to it. And/or the HDMI connector. Who designed it this way?

Finally, the microphone is extremely sensitive and can also pick up typing on a keyboard with tactile keys, for example. Very annoying in a team game.

All in all, very disappointing gaming-only headset. Steel can do better.

Good gaming headset with a long battery life!

  • Sound quality
  • Value for money
  • Battery life
  • The size of the dongle

I had the opportunity to test this gaming headset for a few weeks and am very satisfied with the performance.

The Nova 5 is easy to connect with the supplied dongle. In my case with the PS5. You can select audio presets via the Companion app, which I installed on an iPhone. Many games are listed here and there are also presets for music and films. The sound is very good and clear while gaming. I also never had any hiccups, so you can enjoy gaming. The headset fits comfortably and the long battery life (60 hours according to spec) means you don't have to charge it every day.

The size of the USB-C dongle is a real disadvantage if you put it in the front of the PS5. This means you can no longer use the 2nd USB-C port. But this is also the only downside I have encountered.

For this price it is a more than excellent wireless gaming headset and highly recommended!
