#405 SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless: $299.99 Wireless Amazon $299.99 eBay
Pros: A gaming headset with active noise cancelling, a built in microphone, and both wireless and wired connections, so one headset covers PC, console and mobile use. The wired link extends to a 40 kHz rated response. Its warm, bass forward tuning, with sub-bass 3.0 dB and midbass 4.7 dB above target, suits listeners who want strong explosions and footstep thump, and it carries a higher rating than the Sony INZONE H9 II.
Cons: A 13.0 dB dip near 4 kHz leaves presence 6.8 dB below target, so dialogue and vocals sound veiled and distant, contributing to a low preference score of 41.5 with an uneven 3.82 dB deviation. At 517 g it is a very heavy headset, and Bluetooth 5.0 is dated. The AKG K271 MKII rates higher for less money.
