News - Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Headset Best For Warzone 2 Audio Footsteps
Gamers, if you're looking for an exceptional headset for the console PS5, especially the one that will let you hear exceptional footsteps in Call of Duty: War Zone, look no further. After using this headset for the past 4 months. I've been trying to configure the best possible audio settings, including the Dax customized EQ profile, which I will go over in this article, and why I think this may be the best head set out right now for PS5 and FPS games.
Here, you can listen to the enemy's footsteps loud and clear, giving their position. So this is what we're going to be covering in this article: the steel series Arctis Nova Pro. Now there's two different versions of this. This is the one I have right now. This is the wired version. There's also one that's wireless, so the wired and the wireless The main difference we want to point out is that wireless will have active noise cancellation.
It will also have Bluetooth, and it runs on batteries. The base station is a little bit bigger, and it comes with a battery slot. The price right now for the wireless is $29,966. Compared to the wired, it's right now at $26. The main priority for me when getting a new headset was the sound quality.
Now, doing some research and looking at YouTube articles of YouTubers that compared the wired and wireless headsets, all of them mention that the sound quality from the wired headset was a lot better, and, come to mention, this was my first wired headset, and I have no regrets about it, as you can see in my gaming setup.
I play on a monitor, so I'm very close to the monitor, so for me, having a wired connection was not a problem before. When I used to play on a TV, it was very essential to have a wireless one because you're much further from the TV, and hypothetically, if you want to game with the wire. Extended, you still have around, 10 ft all my previous headsets ran on batteries and it's the most annoying thing when you're playing and you forgot to charge your heads said and you hear that noise, that you need to charge it well I have I don't have to worry about this anymore because the wired version doesn't require any batteries the comfort and the earcuffs are made so well and the suction is so good that when you put them on it almost feels like you having a noise cancellation headset and when I'm playing my wife usually watches TV right here at night when the kids go to sleep, and, to be honest when I'm playing I don't even hear the TV that's how good these headsets on so this is the PC and PlayStation version there's also a Xbox and PC version just to take a note of that so this is what you would get inside the box now this is not a unboxing cuz I've obviously used this for some time but I do want to show you what you get if you were to get these right now so it does come with this cool bag here which I haven't used yet, but it's very nice.
Material you're also going to get your phone jack cable here; it's about 5T, so it's pretty lengthy. And this will just go in here and this will go inside the deck, and you're also going to get the necessary wires, which I believe you get three of these USB to USBC, and if you're wondering, these are designed in Denmark.
But if we look here, it's made in China, and of course you get your headset, which is pretty remarkable, if I may say so. These are probably the most comfortable headsets I've worn. So far, what I really like about this headset is this suction and this cup, which I already mentioned, but you have no idea how comfortable these feel compared to something like 3D.
PS: If you wear them for, you know, two or three hours, you're going to start hurting your ears. With these ones, you could have long gaming sessions without an issue. The other thing I really appreciate about this headset is its simplicity. Now that I'm in my 40s, I'm an older gamer—an older generation gamer—so the more simple, the better.
When you're gaming, you have to figure out what's what. You have to take off your headset to figure out what button is where. This has the mute button here, which I never used before because there is one in the deck. And this volume knob, which I also don't use because it's also available, is on the dick here, which I'll go over in a second, and the mic actually retracts inside.
But it doesn't retract with this on; you have to take it off, and if you want to game with this, you could even game like this because this mic is activated, but for better audio quality, you would want to open it, give it a little curve, and put this on, and if you're wondering, they have no case for it.
The wireless one is actually where the battery would go, but this one has no battery. Now we come over to this little guy, and this is basically the brains of the whole system, so you would have your USB 1 and USB 2, so you would have either your PlayStation or a different console or PC. I have my PlayStation 5 on this one and my gaming PC on this one.
The cool thing is that if my PC was off and my PlayStation was on, it would automatically connect to my PlayStation, and vice versa. If both of them are on, you have to go inside the settings and change them, and then you have your line in and line out, which I don't use. This is where your headset will plug in if you're using the wired one.
Now let's turn this on, so I reset it so I could go ahead and set it up with you guys. Now I was going to ask you, are you in Europe? If yes, the maximum volume will be restricted, so you probably want to say no so you have the full volume. Which I'm in, so I'm not in Europe, so this is the knob here for the volume; it's very responsive, and this is what I use for my volume.
I don't use it on the headset, now you have here is the back button, now this can also be used as a mute button you would have to go inside here push this for a minute, and this is the USB input so you have one and two as I mentioned before so one is my PS5 two is my PC, so if both of your systems are on you would want to go in here and change it which one you want to put into so now we go to audio settings.
These are the different audio options. You have your volume option here, and then your S-tone medium loan is off. Low, To set up our customized EQ preset for Call of Duty, we're going to go into our audio settings and audio options, and we're done. We're just going to click on flat. These are different profiles.
Here, we want to go to customized EQ. Now you have different frequencies. Here, how many points do we have? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 points Now this is a much bigger advantage than other EQ presets we had on Sony, such as the 3D pulse, where we only had one, two, three, or five different frequencies.
