The A50 and A40 need to release their gen 5 versions already

[ZVily]

Love your hard work and dedication! Nobody on Youtube has done these extensive reviews let alone compare them with all the competition

[VladimirPudding_]

Personally I always enjoy whenever u do these mini versus series whenever a new major headset comes out. Keep ‘em coming!

[BoBaggzz]

I love all the vids this week! These sorts of comparisons are SO helpful for me, especially when they're coming from you!

If you want grenades/bombs to feel like bombs going off go with astros.

If you want to hear everything like enemy footsteps while grenades are hitting like black cat fire crackers go with novas.

He summed it up really well: Immersion=astros competitive=nova.
Me=user of both.

I just got nova pro (wired) I used astro a50 (wireless) for years but the battery life has slowly died so I switched. I gotta say, each of these headphones misses a little bit of something. My use of novas is still pretty fresh but I miss the big bass a lot from astros. But, I can hear enemies creeping up a little easier now. I just wish there was a little more BOOM with novas.

edit: my friends say i sound much more clear now with the wired novas but that is to be expected as they are wired

Hi, Thank you very much for you work. I have few comments to add. As a A50s Gen 3 user since release i can agree about simplicity. Mic flip to mute is extremely useful. I wanted to swap to Gen 4 but then i have seen Nova pro wireless out and decided to try it. When it comes to spatial audio, a50s sounds way better because of hardware processing vs software processing on Nova pro (hardware DTX:X was removed from Nova) Nova pro picks up keyboard and mouse sounds, this can be reduced by setting mic threshold level but at night time you will voice down but keyboard and mouse still makes the same amount of noise, i have had no issues with A50s maybe because A50 has Unidirectional mic vs Bidirectional mic on Nova. I found controls on Astros easier to operate than Nova. I will stick to Nova pro until Astro releases new headset. I will update if there will be any issues with Nova pro.
Edit: After turning AI noise cancellation in Sonar it completely eliminated keyboard and mic noise even close. Even playing music on mobile was not heard on mic and the voice quality on mic is intact. I am very much impressed.

Great video. Picked up the novas today. Unfortunately they are not compatible with an elgato capture card due to ps5 lack of support for audio over USB. Returning them tomorrow to get my a50s back.

[iSpenC]

LETS GO!! Take a nap. I’m tired from just watching all these videos. Can’t imagine making them. Keep up the grind!

[forky]

I don't understand why you don't have more likes for these videos, so thorough and helpful, thank you for these. I'm loving my Penrose, but unfortunately with their sensitive planar speakers and the foil that's inside of it, a little unfortunate drop dislodged it and now it's crackling, so I'm in the market for a new headset. Like I said, extremely helpful, thank you!

[CHORIZOMAN]

Wow, the mic to me on the Astros sounds so much better . Also being able to hear myself is a huge plus . When gaming gets intense I start talking louder and louder without realizing it .

[BrokenNation]

Just got my Nova Pros yesterday boy when I tell it beats every other headset I have oh boy I'm in love with them and you can pass 4 different audio source thur at once I love that

[ShobucK]

Got my A50 gen 4 forever, NO REGRETS . BEST BUILT / QUALITY / LONG LAST HEADSET EVER... Always recommend. 2019 still as new 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[davidisbrosif]

Thanks a bunch for this Great review of these headsets. I settled on the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wired. Loving it!! Thanks for the hard work and vids!

[EikeyXP]

I switched to the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless from the astro A50/A40s. Both are phenomenal options, but my biggest issue with Astro was the support. There have been no updates and no tech support when things go wrong and it feels like nobody is working for astro. I think it may have something to do with Logitech buying out astro or something. The app for windows only works half the time and having to turn my Astros on and off in order for them to work properly was also frustrating. It wasn't just my headset, but also my buddies that I game with. They have astro as well and the same complaints come from them. I just have been blown away from the arctis nova pros so far. IMO, the bass is way more prevalent on these than the Astros for some reason and I have been having fun all over again, while wearing the new headset!

Fantastic review and great channel! Keep up the good work. :)

[PETTYGANG]

Exact headphones I have been using for years (Black A50). Let’s see if I’m making a trip to Best Buy. These headphones got my attention

[vfxc-]

“Not worried bout em!” Needs to be another badge you give these haha !

[Stevo]

Can you plug the nova wireless into the dac to make them wired, an if you do do they sound exactly like the wired version?

[Walmartin]

Is there any difference in the wireless and the wired versions if you opt to use an aux cable? Do you get the same quality in sound that you mentioned?

[ConcreteAdvisory]

Is it posible to wire the Nova Pro Wireless when you want ? Or you're always stuck in wireless mode ? (for games wireless would be enough IMO, but maybe not for movies)

[darkmistress]

whats the range on the arctis nova pro wireless before the audio drops out? i have been using the RIG800's for years and im due for an upgrade but i have an issue that i can only get half way across my medium sized house before the sucker starts to drop in and out in regards to connection/sound.
