    For people who play across several platforms this is the best option available, mixing multiple sources with good audio and Bluetooth lifestyle use.

    TechRadarHands-on review · 2026

    After about three months as a daily driver, the reviewer sees it as a souped-up successor to the Nova Pro Wireless and an ideal choice for multiplatform gamers.

    Seen as a well-balanced middle option, with excellent sound, wide connectivity and a good mic for far less than the Elite.

    WIREDHands-on review

    A middle-ground headset that mixes the Pro's build with the Elite's tuning, mic and hub, and suits multisystem users well.
