The Best Mid-Range Headsets from SteelSeries

For a quick overview, the Arctis Nova 5 Wireless stands out as both a Bluetooth headset and a 2.4GHz device. Thanks to our Quick-Switch Wireless technology, all it takes is a single button press to switch between the two connections. Bluetooth is great on the go and can fit you very well, but for focused gaming on your console or PC, 2.4GHz connection will give you a better experience.
