SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless review: This gaming headset has the right mix of everything


SteelSeries’ best gaming headset features at a reasonable price

The Nova 5 has a broad sound stage that really shows off its range during Helldivers 2 extractions when the bombastic soundtrack mixes with the ever-increasing chaos of explosions and Terminid/Automaton screams. Aside from presets, the mobile app only allows you to adjust the mic’s pick-up and sidetone monitoring volumes, toggle an audio limiter, and switch the headset to an extended wireless range mode. I spent 50% of my time using the Nova 5 with the Steam Deck OLED and Asus ROG Ally connected over Bluetooth since both handhelds have only one USB-C port I use primarily for charging.
