A lot of money for some gaming cans? Yep, but the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro does come bundled with the SteelSeries GameDAC Gen 2, with its anodized volume dial and 8-bit OLED display. These headphones are designed for a persistent desktop setting rather than listening on the move, and boy do they deliver punchy, atmospheric audio when using the included DAC. With this in mind, we can definitely forgive the lack of wireless connectivity— it’s just not what these headphones are about.
