nothing that you said is accurate
The predecessor to this version is my all time favorite (and currently used) headset, BUT be warned of a fatal design flaw in the hinge. While this version has reinforced it, it's only done so with plastic. If you look up "Arctis pro hinge" on Google, you can find plenty of content on how they've completely fallen apart and the absurd lengths people (myself included) have gone through to fix or reinforce it. For normally 350 USD, the only hinge the product depends on shouldn't be made of plastic. If you do buy it, I recommend reinforcing it, even if it does mean ruining the beautiful outside of the product. It'll save you in the long run.

I'll continue to rock my 1st generation ones until they give, but I wanted to warn you guys. It's an AMAZING head set, it's just absolute bummer of a product issue I'd rather you folks not face later on.

That being said, for 250, that's a great price.
Yup - this one works on Xbox, PC, Switch and PlayStation 4/5.

For those that own the Arctis Pro Wireless, here's the comparison - https://www.rtings.com/headphones...shold=0.10

IMO it's not worth upgrading from the Arctis Pro. Otherwise it's a nice headset overall.

Does this work with both PS5 and Xbox Series X? I thought there was a specific model for each console.

yeah the xbox version works with everything. the other versions are specific but the xbox one is the only one that's universal and i have no idea why anyone would buy any other version. this is an incredible deal

Just got this headset for this price from the GameStop situation (via price matching from another vendor).

Can't recommend it enough, it's a step up from the Arctis Wireless Pro that I was using prior. Definitely one of the best headsets I've had the pleasure of using, especially for gaming

Agree. This is is an amazing deal for this product. Almost jumped at the 12% off deal a few days ago which would have made it $308. At $250 it's an instant buy

Looks like Best Buy matched the price. Might even come with some extras there.

Edit: Nevermind, that's the wired model.

I have the Arctis Pro Wireless, and wasn't going to upgrade. But with this price last week at GameStop I got tempted and bought it.

I'm liking it so far, but the XBox version has a major bug (actually I think it's affecting all versions; a couple of Reddit threads on it) - the base station doesn't turn off at all when it's connected to the XBox, even when the XBox is asleep. The display keeps turning on and off every few seconds. On Reddit, some posted that the company is saying it's so the unit can charge the battery even when the system is off. Well, that doesn't make sense. The Artis Pro Wireless also continues to charge. But at least the screen goes off.

Another irritant is that while using the system, the front display permanently stays on. On the Arctis Pro you could set the display to turn off after a minute or so (even when using the headset). This way the OLED wouldn't keep getting burned in. Also, if you are watching something in the dark you don't want a constant on display in front of you. To be fair - this was a feature added on the Arctis Pro just a few years back. Initially you could only dim it, and not turn it off. So here's hoping they add that feature to the Nova Pro as well.

Some more observations for anyone interested -
I had the USB port connected to the Switch while the XBox port was connected to the XBox. I realized that the switch cannot supply enough power to the base station, so the other port needs to be connected to something. The constant on and off display was annoying and so I connected the XBox port to the PS5, just so it can provide power (while I was playing on the Switch). The blinking went away, but as soon as I turned off the system the blinking front display came back - just the steelseries logo this time.

TLDR; - the unit cannot be kept permanently connected to a powered USB port, or the display won't turn off. Even if the constant blinking doesn't annoy you, this will eventually lead to burn-in of the OLED screen. So one has to physically disconnect the base station - but then the second battery won't charge. Multiple people complaining of this. Hope it gets fixed soon.
