Five microphones. Two batteries. Three audio streams.
The Nova Pro Wireless and its wired $249.99 Nova Pro counterpart are the rare no-devices-left-behind headsets that help you get even more enjoyment out of PC gaming and console use. There are some weird design decisions, some flaws, and even a few bugs, but it’s tough to ignore that these products bend over backward to neatly integrate themselves into your gaming repertoire.By Sean Hollister
The new base station also seems to have the same excellent wireless range as its predecessor — chatting with my Discord gaming group while down the hall, through two walls, to the kitchen to get a snack. That’s a bar many wireless gaming headsets I’ve tried don’t manage to clear. I’m also happy the base station ditches the optical jacks I never used for USB-C inputs, with an easy toggle to switch between them. You also no longer need a proprietary cable to get analog 3.
Unfortunately, my favorite feature is now locked behind SteelSeries’ GG PC app: the chatmix that lets you have two distinct audio devices on PC and pick the balance between them, quickly quieting a too-loud game in favor of your teammates on Discord or vice versa.
It’s easy for me to tell that SteelSeries actually wants me to use the Nova Pro Wireless as Bluetooth headphones. Brilliantly, it designed the headset to be able to power on and off without interrupting a Bluetooth connection. In real life, that looks a little something like this: That said, there’s a bit of a learning curve for becoming fluent in using the Nova as a pair of Bluetooth headphones. Activating Bluetooth requires long-pressing the Bluetooth-meets-multifunction button located on the rear side of the right ear cup until you hear an audible chime. If you haven’t paired a device to them yet, keep holding a little longer to enter pairing mode. That’s it.
