Looking for an upgrade to the earbuds you typically use while gaming? SteelSeries is one of my favorite gaming headset brands, with great audio and features, super comfortable headbands, and a variety of options across the price spectrum. As part of Amazon’s “Big Spring Sale” you can grab the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro for just $300, an $80 markdown from its usual price.
One of the Nova Pro’s standout features is the swappable battery packs. The headset comes with two batteries, so while one is powering your current gaming session, the other is charging up in the USB DAC and connection box. When the headset starts to get low on juice, you just pop out the battery and switch the two, and as long as you do it quick enough, the headset will turn right back on and reconnect. The result is essentially unlimited battery life, as long as you’re near the hub.
They have all the other features you’d expect from a serious gaming headset too, like active noise canceling so the only footsteps you hear are from your enemies in-game, and the ability to mix in audio or calls via Bluetooth with your game audio. The SteelSeries app, available for both desktop and mobile, has a huge number of game-specific equalizer profiles that help bring out the right sounds for almost any major title. With the included USB hub, you can even connect the headset to multiple computers or consoles and switch between them at the press of a button.
If you think you’re ready for the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, you can grab the PC version in either black or white for $300. While that might sound like a lot for a gaming headset, and it is, this is one of the most premium and feature-laden gaming headsets available, with the exception of SteelSeries’s own $600 Arctis Nova Elite.
