SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
The no-compromise flagship of the Arctis line, combining active noise cancellation, dual hot-swappable batteries and a GameDAC base station, a pro-tier headset for buyers who want endless uptime and desktop DAC control in one system. Value buyers don't need it, since the Nova 5 and 7 cover most needs for a fraction of the cost.
