The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless came out almost four years ago, yet it’s still one of the best gaming headsets you can buy. Turns out, it’s not easy for other companies to duplicate all that SteelSeries got right with this one — mixing multiple audio sources, active noise cancellation, a retractable mic, hot-swappable batteries, and more. Normally priced at $379.99, it’s down to $299.99 at Amazon during the company’s Big Spring Sale that lasts through April 1st at 2:59AM ET. The deal is also happening at Best Buy and from SteelSeries directly.
The Nova Pro Wireless is a unique product in that two Verge staffers tested the headset when it launched. Sean Hollister and I each received units and co-published an in-depth review because there were a lot of features to cover, and there was a lot to say about this fantastic headset.
In late 2025, SteelSeries launched a more premium version of this model called the Nova Pro Elite. Save for its more premium build materials, improved wireless signal and hi-res audio, there’s not a ton else to justify spending the whopping $599.99 it costs. We think the Nova Pro Wireless that costs literally half the amount is pricey enough as is, and definitely good enough for most people.
