Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Premium Gaming Headset $249.99 at GameStop

GameStop seems to have a pricing error on these - normally $349.99 everywhere else. I just ordered some and got a confirmation, so fingers crossed it stays! I also think it could be a unit posting error as the "features" section highlights a gaming mouse. Haha. Unsure, but will return and report.

I have been going back and forth if I should buy a new headset or not... I feel like my old ones live up to like ~95% of the hype of the newer ones I have tried. But I saw on rtings that these are voted best of year so far and I was looking for them last week. Went to finally pull the trigger this week and saw the $100 off at GameStonkz today.

Got it for $262.51 after tax.

Product Specifications:
  • Product ID - 343649
  • Model/Vendor Part- 61521
  • Brand Name -SteelSeries

good deal and great mic/sound quality. Make sure you take screenshots of the listing because many of the photos are for the wired version. The model though does line up with it being the wireless model.

That said, I had a ton of bugs on mine. Once when on Playstation the volume switched to 100% white noise till I restarted the headset. Randomly but often enough audio became severely distorted/gitchy but many I asked said they never had any issues though. That said, Steelseries support was awful and wouldn't approve an RMA unless I provided them with audio proof of the glitches happen even though I told them it was random.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely snag some screenshots of the listing as is completely and save the page. I thought it strange, but the model number explicitly states wireless?? Big Grin

Ugh on your experience. I've also read that a lot of people feel the earpiece on this model has a part that sticks out and hits your ear awkwardly which was deterring me last week. I've also tried a few previous deals and I just feel like either mic quality, can't hear footsteps as much as I'd hoped, etc.

My previous ones (some 5+ year old, cheap Turtle Beaches) are almost just as good and won't put me out ~150-350! But if I can get my hands on something that makes footsteps louder or an immersive experience, I'm all for it. Any suggestions on ones you like/currently use?

Side note - I called GameStop locally and they said it's a pricing error and they should still honor it so just buy it. And if we don't like them we have 15 days for opened returned policy on these, too.

I've been waiting for any kind of discount on these, much more than expected. Thank you for posting!

So I read those notes when I had mine and looked and yeah it sticks out but I have normal sized ears and couldn't feel it ever. My current headset is the normal Arctis Pro Wireless and I like them a lot. We did review the Nova's on the SD youtube channel but there are plenty of other reviews on the web as well. You might check into the JBL 910's. They supposedly have spatial audio that supports the PS5 and will be wireless as well. They release sometime this month but will probably be the $250 price range. Since these are sold by Gamestop you might have luck with Best Buy/Target price matching it.

Do I get the value of $250 product with this? I would like to have a wireless Gaming headset for my PC and PS but spending $250 for a headset is kinda insane. I would spend that on a Sony but this is kinda sus.

You mean xbox ones? These work on both PC and PlayStation. They have dual USB-C input and the headset also has bluetooth input you can use at the same time. You can only use one usb c input at a time though.
