The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Xbox is a wired, over-ear gaming headset designed for high-fidelity audio on Xbox and other systems. It features Premium High Fidelity Drivers, 360° spatial audio, and a detachable GameDAC Gen 2 with ESS Sabre Quad‑DAC that supports 96 kHz/24‑bit Hi‑Res Audio. The headset includes a retractable bidirectional broadcast-quality microphone with AI noise cancellation and a 1.2 m cable for reliable wired connectivity. Its black, head-band design delivers comfortable circumaural fit for extended sessions and supports multi-system switching between consoles and PC.

Advantages

The Arctis Nova Pro Xbox combines precise, high-resolution sound reproduction with customizable parametric EQ and a 10-band equalizer to tailor audio from bass to treble.

The hub supports two systems simultaneously for fast switching without reconnecting.
