Great gaming headset, both myself and my son use it. I've had mine for 2 years, no issues. Comfortable, infinite battery life with the swappable batteries, highly recommended.

Got this during black friday. Had to return because it started bugging audio wise at around 25 days. i tried different pcs and it was just screwed it'd glitch out until you could barely listen to it. however other than that, it very comfortable and has good battery life. i was very reluctant to return it but the artifacting and tinny noises made it very unusable. the display started bugging too.

I 2nd this. I've had this headset for 3+ years and it's amazing. Never fails, great quality, infinite battery life, pretty powerful for a wireless headset. I might buy one just for a backup
To clarify, these are different from the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pros - this particular pair is older + worse noise cancellation
Dang considering how bad the noise cancellation is on my Nova Pros I can't even imagine how much worse these could be. I really wish I bought a different headset

this one has no noise cancellation at all, I game in a quiet room, so I prefer these to the new model, also the newer model has these annoying microphones in the ear cup that absolutely hurt the crap out of my ears.

I have these (but the xbox version). Both the PS5/PS4 version and the xbox version have 2 USB-C ports:
The PS5/PS4 version (the one in this deal) have 2 universal USB-C ports (redundant I know, but bear with me), which you can connect either one to a PS5/PS4, PC, or any other device.
The xbox version of these headphones have 1 universal USB-C port, which makes them compatible with a PS5/PS4 or a PC on that port. The 2nd USB-C port is a specific port compatible with xbox and whatever proprietary connection is required. You can use this xbox port on a PC, but it shows up as an "xbox controller" and you will get limited functionality.
Basically if you ever think about getting an xbox at any point, get the xbox version of these headphones. They will still be compatible with PS5/PS4 on the universal USB-C port.With that out of the way, a couple of more things:The headphones can use Bluetooth + USB-C connected devices simultaneously. The way I use this is that I have the base station connected to my PC via USB-C, and I have Bluetooth connected to my work laptop. I'm able to listen to music on my PC and still take Teams calls and get Outlook notifications from my Work PC. I've also done my PC + phone to take calls while listening to music on my PC. Really nice feature. It lowers the volume of my PC significantly when a call comes in.The ANC (active noise cancellation) speaker protrudes out from under the earpads. It won't affect some people, but it puts a lot of pressure on my ears, making the headphones uncomfortable after a short amount of time (30 minutes or less). I ended up going with 3rd party earpads that work well: WC Freeze Nova Pro Wireless. They are longer, so the ANC speaker no longer touches my ears. I can wear the headphones comfortably for 12+ hours a day now no problem.I like the subtle logo on the ear plates. I can use these in public and they still look professional (looking at you Razer with your obvious green logo on your headphones). Coffee shops, airports, work, etc are just fine. the ANC is not as good as something from Bose or Sony, but it gets the job done.For basic audio on a PC, you don't need the Steelseries software. It will just show up in devices as the Nova Pro Wireless headphones. For advanced audio settings, get the Steelseries app + Sonar. You can customize different audio sources with different EQ and volumes. For example, I can have my game audio and chat audio set at different volumes (Discord chat audio louder), and I can have a different EQ for chat that makes speech more clear. When you use Sonar, you have virtual devices that come up in devices in Windows (System, Chat, Music, etc). You can assign each of these to different applications, which lets you have different EQ and volumes set for each.I don't know if it's just me and my PC setup, but the Steelseries app is not very stable for me. I get a lot of crashes. I also have a Steelseries Aerox 3 mouse and Apex 7 TKL keyboard managed in the app. I also have a GoXLR Mini connected with their software installed. To their credit, Steelseries releases regular updates to the software, and my audio setup is pretty complex compared to the average user.Sorry for the wall of text. Overall I'm very happy with these and would recommend them. I'm now able to consolidate headphones and have 1 pair for home, work, and out in public usage.Edit: Forgot to mention the microphone. It works well. Not as good as my XLR mic, but people on phone calls and Teams meetings can clearly understand me. I like how it is retractable so I can use these headphones in public and they look like regular headphones. I didn't want a mic that is removable because I would inevitably lose it. Also great to have it attached if I need to take a call on the go. The mic doesn't work well recessed, so I would advise extending it when doing calls.
These are not the Nova Pro. These are the old Arctis Pro without USB-C.

You are confusing between the Nova Pro Wireless and the Atris Pro Wireless. You must be having the Nova Pro.
The ones on sale here are the Arctis Pro Wireless. They don't have noise cancellation. And there is no usb-c port at the back. They have one USB connection (mini-usb) and optical in.
I think you you should edit your wall of text to avoid confusion.
Is there a decent headset that's compatible with both Xbox, PC and PS5? Or they're technically all compatible but limited on function?
Wireless, I don't think I've seen one from steel series.
I suspect that in order to get a product "certified" in order to just market it on the box as "works with" one or both MS and Sony require that the item can't be marketed for the other competitor's product.

Yes, if you buy the XBox version of Steelseries Nova Pro. Those are compatible with all. Though they only have two ports at the back. One of them is the PC/PS5 port. The other is the XBox port that technically does work with PC as well, albeit at lower bitrate, and with some of the software features not being available.
Pro tip for the Nova Pros - Those are comfortable by default but have leather pads that can get hot over time. If you do not care about noise isolation, get compatible gel or porous pads (available for just a couple of dollars from AliExpress). You'll find them to be much more comfortable.

This is the version without the swappable batteries. Otherwise steelseries headsets are always good and this one is great.
