The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is a wireless gaming headset that offers a range of features and improvements over its predecessor, the Nova Pro Wireless. It's a worthy replacement for the Nova Pro Wireless, offering a comfortable design, excellent sound quality, and a range of connectivity options. The headset is available in black, white, or midnight blue, and features matte plastic earcups with soft memory foam earpads wrapped in supple faux leather. The headband is a two-part design, with an upper flat metal strip and a lower elastic strip, making it comfortable to wear for long periods. The Nova Pro Omni's controls and connections are similar to other high-end Arctis models, with power and mic mute buttons, a volume wheel, a 3.5mm aux input, and a retractable boom mic on the left earcup. The right earcup features a battery compartment and a Bluetooth pairing button. The base station included with the Nova Pro Omni is the same as the one that comes with the Nova Elite, offering three USB-C ports, 3.5mm line-in and line-out ports, and a monochrome OLED screen for displaying headset battery life and audio signal information. The Nova Pro Omni relies on 40mm neodymium drivers with a 10Hz to 40kHz frequency response and a sensitivity of 98 dBSPL at 1kHz/1mW, similar to the Nova Pro Wireless. The retractable ClearCast Pro boom mic is omnidirectional, with a 50Hz to 16kHz frequency response and a sensitivity of -40 dBV/Pa. The headset comes with two batteries, allowing for up to 30 hours of use with a 2.4GHz connection or 50 hours with Bluetooth, with noise cancellation off. The Nova Pro Omni supports wireless hi-res audio certified for 96kHz/24-bit audio via a 2.4GHz connection, and Bluetooth with LC3 and LC3+ for low-energy and hi-res audio. The headset also features active noise cancellation (ANC) to block out lower and middle frequencies of air conditioners, subways, and 3D printers, though higher frequency hums and whines get through. The Nova Pro Omni sounds excellent on music, with powerful and detailed sound through an LC3+ Bluetooth connection to a phone. The headset also performs well in gaming, with detailed and accurate spatial audio, and a top-tier microphone that blocks out background noise.
