Thankfully, that doesn’t lead to a cheaper feel. The Turtle Beach headset uses more plastics. The main difference between the Stealth 700s and the Arctis Nova is the build quality. Like the Arctis pair, the Stealth 700s support simultaneous Bluetooth, too, so you can take calls or listen to music while playing on your Xbox. It works with Windows PCs, too, as long as you have an Xbox Wireless Adapter. The headset supports native wireless with Xbox One, Series X, and Series S, no dongle is required. When it comes to features, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 headset matches the Arctis Nova and does so at $50 cheaper. Additionally, the headset comes with a Discord-certified ClearCast gen 2 microphone that you can retract back into the headset. The headset itself is stereo, but you can use Windows Sonic Spatial Audio or Dolby Atmos for Headphones on your Xbox Series X to achieve virtual surround sound.Įxternally, the Arctis Nova Pro features SteelSeries’ signature suspended headband - which is very comfortable, even after hours of playing - and large, plushy ear cups. The wide soundscape of the Arctis Nova Pro gives players much more positional awareness in games and, combined with a digital surround sound solution, even more so. Although the frequency range doesn’t reach as high as some audiophile-class headsets, it can still hold its own in the sound department. Internally, the Arctis Nova Pro uses 40mm neodymium drivers with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz.

Even better, you can simultaneously connect another device to the headset via Bluetooth. It can connect directly to your Xbox Series X. Unlike a lot of gaming headsets, you don’t need an adapter with the Arctis Nova Pro. The SteelSeries Arctis Pro headset currently tops our picks for the best gaming headsets.
