hhWith the Arctis Nova Pro Omni, SteelSeries presents a new flagship headset that is set to take gaming audio to a new level. For its 25th anniversary, the manufacturer is focusing on hi-res sound, cross-platform connectivity and innovative features such as multi-device audio and AI-supported noise suppression. The goal: a seamless audio experience for gaming, streaming and entertainment – regardless of the device.
- Hi-Res wireless audio with up to 96 kHz / 24 bit
- Connect up to five devices simultaneously
- Active noise cancellation and AI microphone
- Infinite power system with replaceable batteries
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni: Focus on hi-res audio and maximum flexibility
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is clearly positioned in the premium segment and is aimed at users who are looking for the most versatile audio setup possible. At its heart are specially developed 40 mm neodymium drivers that cover an extended frequency range from 10 Hz to 40 kHz. This means the headset meets the requirements for Hi-Res wireless audio – a feature that has rarely been fully implemented in the gaming sector to date.
A key unique selling point is the multi-device connectivity. The headset can be connected to up to five devices simultaneously, including PC, console, smartphone or handheld. The OmniPlay function even allows up to four audio sources to be mixed in parallel. This function is particularly interesting for streaming setups or multitasking scenarios, for example when game sound, voice chat and music are used simultaneously.
The system is complemented by “Omni-Control”, which enables real-time adjustment of the audio settings. The equalizer, microphone and sound profiles can be individually configured via the Arctis app or the Sonar software. More than 200 game-specific presets are available, making it easier to quickly adapt to different titles. The headset thus bridges the gap between the Arctis Nova Elite (our review) and the older Arctis Nova Pro Wireless (our review).
The integration of an OLED display in the control base also enables direct adjustments without additional software. This feature is familiar from previous high-end models and has been sensibly developed further here. All in all, the result is a coherent overall package that is designed for both flexibility and user-friendliness.
Immersion through ANC, AI microphone and unlimited runtime
In addition to sound quality, immersion plays a central role in the Arctis Nova Pro Omni. According to the manufacturer, active noise canceling (ANC) has been further improved and is said to filter out up to 40 percent more ambient noise than comparable models. This claim is plausible, as advances in algorithms and computing power are common in this area, but should vary in practical use.
The new ClearCast Pro microphone also relies on AI-supported noise suppression. Background noise is significantly reduced, while the voice remains clearly in the foreground. This can noticeably improve communication quality, especially in competitive gaming or streaming.
Another highlight is the so-called Infinite Power System. This uses two interchangeable batteries that enable uninterrupted operation. While one battery is being used, the other can be charged – a concept that has already proven itself in previous models and is particularly practical for long gaming sessions.
The combination of ANC, AI microphone and flexible power supply shows that SteelSeries sees the headset not just as a pure gaming accessory, but as a comprehensive audio solution for different usage scenarios.
Conclusion
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni sets new standards in gaming audio and combines hi-res sound with versatile connectivity and modern features. In particular, the ability to use multiple audio sources simultaneously sets the headset apart from the competition. With an RRP of 399.99 euros, it is clearly positioned in the high-end segment and will be available from May 5, 2026.
