+1 just give us cloth pads as well. My issue has always been that the material flakes and degrades. I've had headsets just sitting around here and they still deteriorate, maybe it's the climate I'm in (humid/sub tropics), but I will take a reduction in sound quality and noise cancellation in exchange for no black flakes all over my ears/head/desk.
You're my favorite tech reviewer, helped me to decide whether or not to get the G7 I've been using happily for quite a while now. Much much love, keep it up!
I love mine aye. Dual battery system on a wireless headset is a game changer. Could never go back to plug in chatging. I would LOVE this tech in a mouse, dual hot swap batteries with a dock/base that acts as a charger for the battery but also the transmitter and changing DPI/HZ etc would be dope
I realise what I'm about to suggest isn't quite what you're describing; but if you wanna keep using a wireless mouse for extended periods of time, without eventual charge issues, then it sounds like the Logitech Powerplay mousepad would be of interest to you. Of course; you'd need a G703 or G903 to go with that if it's an option you're into. This is due to how each major perriferal company has made their own propriety version of the tech, incompatible with competing products. But it could be done. Just a thought...
Took some razer blackshark v2 pro back and got he nova pro wireless. Kinda didn’t want to pay the extra 130 but I’m happy with them. Sound so good. Did the update after doing research on my Mac
Almost the perfect headset for me except the mic quality is not so good it picks up background noise like crazy. if they had AI noise rejection for consoles it would be the best for me overall.
I finally bought a pair of these headsets and was so worried about the mic, but i am so glad that the software helped with it. All the mic test for the nova pro wireless mic made it sound like you were on speaker on a phone call. The presets under mic in sonar has tremendesly helped the mic. Still not the best mic steel series makes but its sooo much better now thanks to the software. I am very content with this headset now. And i am coming from a long time user of astro gaming headsets. I ditched Astros cause ever since Logitech bough them out, it hasnt exacly been the same. Like its missing something. But thank you for this review.
Just a goofy observation: every tech review I’ve seen of these headphones used mint colored accents. Is there a subtle concerted effort to get us to go to mint mobile?
Because all of these videos are advertisements disguised as reviews and they all show the same product sent by the manufacturer. Not a coincidence that every review shows Wicked Cushions ear pads. In some countries, this is illegal.
Hi new Sub here did you no that Steelseries have redesigned the nc mic in this headset so they dont catch your ears? Made them smaller and flatter, i just got some and tbh i dont like the way the wicked cushions change the sound i think the stock pads are better but yes they can get warm but i would rather suffer that than have less bass and less nc great channel btw 👍🏼
@@TooMuchTech the problem with 3rd party earcups is they not designed to work with the headsets like the official 1s are, you see take the wicked cushions the gel ones are the same for all headsets apart from fit. The OEM 1s are designed to get the best out of headphones 🎧
Hmmm I might be in the market for new headphones someday. My turtle beach elite pro 2 just snapped and are held on my electrical tape. I wasn’t a fan of my wife’s steel series Artics 9x wireless headphones.
i tried the wireless version and I returned them the next day. mic sounds trash, the sound quality is not good imo (compared to my old headset) and the ear cups felt bad. I went with the wired version and they felt 10x better paired with the official AirWeave earcups for just 15€. Mic and sound quality way better. less money gets you the better product IMO
Only downside of these is your ears will sweat in a short amount of time as there is no breathability in the full leatherette cup design unlike many other hybrid cups by other competitors.
Maybe not for gaming, but everything else yeah, the Maxwells imaging isn’t quite as good for fps games compared to the Nova, but its blows everything else out of the water as far as media consumption

You could buy them
@@HotRodET I did! But for the price, they should include them.
@@RocketJumpNinja I feel it I just recently bought myself a pair of ear pads and they do help

Dude I want a Turtle Beach Nova Pro Wireless 😂

@@markgregory9343 i no longer use powerplay for my lightspeed g pro mouse due to its small pad size for competitive fps gaming

Great video. clean and concise. Great that details are not left out.

Here in Norway the nova pro cost more than the Maxwell and that's insane
1:58 Turtle Beach Nova Pro Wireless? 😕

I have a problem on Xbox, the audio sounds very bad, it sounds good on my phone and on my PC but on my Xbox it sounds horrible.
Use different sound presets or custom sound eqs and make sure you put the audio gain on high. When you do that it sounds very good.
Is there a way to get a better positional sound aka any updates to the arctic pros that helps with sound profiles for footsteps?

I got chu bro, hit me up
is the nova pro wired worth for 80$ ?
What is that white mic are you using?
Elgato Wave DX
I'm thorn whichs headsets I can choose the steelseries nova pro wireless or the Astro a50x ?
Which headset did you end up going with? I’m debating on both as well
I bought both and prefer the nova pro wireless.
What’s your go-to EQ setup for your Novas?
Typically Focus or Smiley
I plan to get the Nova pro wireless ,can’t wait to get them again,,thanks for this video 😊
In Norway the Audeze Maxwell cost about 370$ and the Nova pro about 420$ so yes
still can't decide between wired and wireless version....
i tried the wireless version and I returned them the next day. mic sounds trash, the sound quality is not good imo (compared to my old headset) and the ear cups felt bad.

the cloth ones still cause it to become to hot for comfort sadly
Did he say turtle beach nova pros ? 😅
i thought i was the only one that heard that

shallow earcups and 8k treble spikes.
Take my damn money right now 😂
i got these, i feel like i got ripped off
WhatsApp that Game youre plaing?
Turtle beach nova pro? 😂
They were never the best.
Audeze Maxwell is the best for gaming by far. It's not even close. Audiophile level sound with planars is unbeatable.
Maybe not for gaming, but everything else yeah, the Maxwells imaging isn’t quite as good for fps games compared to the Nova, but its blows everything else out of the water as far as media consumption
@@driftwize What do you mean by imaging?
Imaging in the sense of picking out small details accurately, like faint footsteps over explosions etc
@@driftwize ok, thanks.
For story games , movies and of course Music but for FPS it’s not the best
Is this a joke to you the Maxwell should be ether number 1 or number 2 turtle beach definitely shouldn't be number 2
Audeze Maxwell cost more than steelseries and they doesnt even have ANC 🙄
