If you’re looking for wide compatibility, even if you have a PlayStation, buy the Xbox model-unless your gaming needs call for using Sidetone.īeyond consoles, both iterations of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless work with most handheld gaming and mobile devices, too. Without the Xbox security chip, it doesn’t allow you to connect to Xbox at all. The PlayStation model is less compatible. However, you can also connect this model to a PlayStation via the USB-C port on the base station the only feature you won’t have on PlayStation is support for Sony’s Sidetone feature, which lets you control your own microphone volume from the headset itself. The major difference between the two versions is that the Xbox model comes with a Microsoft security chip that allows for Xbox compatibility, and it supports Xbox ChatMix. The headset doesn’t support a direct USB connection to the source, but that’s unnecessary given the plethora of available options.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Features Wide Compatibility
The layout is finger-friendly to navigate, with the buttons placed far enough apart to differentiate them. I found all the controls easy to reach and use. On the right ear cup is a button for pairing Bluetooth. And you also get a microphone mute button, power button and a 3.5mm jack for wired listening. On the left ear cup sits a volume wheel, which can also control Xbox’s ChatMix (toggle to control ChatMix by pressing the wheel). Its boom microphone extends from the left ear cup, and it blends in well once it’s retracted.
