When used on PC and Xbox, the device also allows for chatmix, which again makes it very handy as a little breakout box to have next to your mouse and keyboard dedicated to those functions. The unit, while potentially being cumbersome for a home console/couch setup (in which case, the wireless option may be the better one to go for), actually works well not only for monitoring audio but for changing basic EQ settings on the fly, even customising 10-band frequency settings (although this is a bit easier on the PC app). The unit itself takes two USB-C connections, one specifically dedicated for Xbox to support decoding for that console, and has a line in/out for 3.5mm. Most of the time, it serves as a secondary monitoring device for your audio, showing left/right monitoring, volume, audio quality in kHZ/bit, etc. Beyond being a simple chip, the unit also features its own large control wheel, OLED screen and software. The most unique feature of this line of headsets is the ‘GameDAC’, a separate audio unit designed to sit on a desk that converts the digital it receives into analogue output for your headphones. And, after spending a few weeks with the wired variety of the Arctis Nova Pro headset, specifically the ‘Arctis Nova Pro for Xbox’, I’m pleased to report the money certainly gets you a premium experience across the board. That’s a fairly eye-watering ask for a pair of gaming headphones, but of course, it all depends on your budget. The range comes in a few flavours, starting at AU $499 for the wired base version, and reaching up to AU $649 for the wireless version. Luxury is the main word that comes to mind with SteelSeries’ Arctis Nova Pro series of headsets, and it starts when you take a look at the pricetag.
