Having tried the Nova Pro, Omni and Elite, they find the Omni better than the Pro but not hugely, and the Elite only a bit better than the Omni and not worth its price.

Bought the Arctis Nova Pro Omni at the weekend and is really enjoying it, though unsure it's worth the $140 premium over an Astro A50.
After A/B testing against the Maxwell 2, they kept the Arctis Nova Pro Omni for PS5: it EQs well and is extremely comfortable and fairly light.
This user finds the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni good, but much quieter than the Nova Elite.
“The Omni is also good but I have found that the volume is much lower than the Elite.”
After a week, this owner calls the Arctis Nova Pro Omni the best-sounding gaming headset they have owned: light, swappable batteries, very good ANC and mic.
“I got my Arctis Nova Omni last week and it’s absolutely the best sounding gaming headphones I have ever owned.”
Using it on PC and PS5 Pro, this owner calls the Arctis Nova Pro Omni the best headset they've used: really comfortable, good audio and mic.
“I’ve used the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni on both PC and PS5 Pro. It’s really comfortable and the audio sounds really good”
Owning both, a user finds the Arctis Nova Pro Omni more comfortable than the bulkier Maxwell, with ANC, a retractable mic and hot-swappable batteries, though slightly less detailed.
“The OMNI is more comfortable, nicer QOL features like ANC, retractable mic, dual batteries hot swappable.”
A day into testing, a user finds the Arctis Nova Pro Omni comfy, with ANC and earpads that block sound well even without it.
“The Omnis have anc, and even without it on the ear pads block out sound well.”
After returning the Stealth Pro II, a user switched to the Arctis Nova Pro Omni and is very happy.
“I have since switched over to the Omni and am very happy with it.”
After a 3-hour Overwatch session, an Omni owner's ears felt fine.
“I have the arctis nova pro omni and I just got out of a grueling, horrific, painful 3 hour Overwatch ranked session but my ears feel fine”
Replacing a decade-old A40, a PS5 gamer loves the Nova Pro Omni, especially phone pairing, but needed the app's EQ.
“I grabbed the omni and love them. Just don't forget to use the app”
A new Arctis Nova Pro Omni owner loves its hot-swap battery and the charging dock/sound card, using it on console and PC.
“Just bought the Steel Series Arctis Nova Pro Omni yesterday.”
A week in, a user loves the Arctis Nova Pro Omni's hub for mixing audio sources and finds it comfy, with fine sound.
“The hub thing and being able to listen, chat, and control the mix of multiple audio sources is incredible. They are also very comfy and sound fine if not great.”
A self-funded reviewer who has used the Maxwell 2 and Nova Elite rates the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni 8.5/10: deep, punchy bass and the best feature package, but an 8 kHz treble peak can cause fatigue.
“Best complete gaming headset package:** SteelSeries Nova Pro Omni”
A former Astro A40/A50 user highly recommends the newly bought SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni and its easy EQ switching.
“Just purchased the nova pro omni, had delta 2's last few years, previous to that I had older astro a40/a50s. Highly recommend the omnis if they're within budget.”
Tried all three and prefers the Nova Pro Omni for comfort, connection, sound and swappable battery.
“I nearly vote for Omni I’ve tried all 3 and prefer them with respect to comfort ability”
The Nova Pro Omni is quite a bit better than the Nova 5 but overpriced.
“Returned them and went for the Arctis Nova Omni and they are quite a bit better but also overpriced imo.”
Calls the Arctis Nova Pro Omni exceptional: very comfy, top-notch sound and mic, easy multi-device connectivity; worth the cost.
“I have the Omni's. I may be a broken record now but they are exceptional. Very comfy, sound quality and mic are top notch.”
Moved from the Nova Pro Wireless to the Nova Pro Omni with barely any difference, and needed aftermarket cushions for long sessions.
“I have the omnis and came from the nova pro wireless (barely any difference i know but a buddy bought the nova pros for 200). First thing to do is go to wicked cushions”
The Nova Pro Omni's feature set is amazing, but its sound and build don't feel like $400.
“Omni's are indeed too expensive for what I find is offered. The feature set is amazing but they deff don't sound, and definitely don't feel (overall build quality) like they should cost $400.”
Bought the Arctis Nova Pro Omni for simultaneous PS5 and Bluetooth sources; the mix works cleanly and the spare battery charges while in use.
“I bought the steel Series Arctis Omni Pro - simply because it allowed multiple source inputs at once”
Really likes their Arctis Nova Pro Omni, especially the simultaneous Bluetooth.
“I have the omni’s and really like them.”
Had the Arctis Nova Pro Omni: decent sound and ANC but very uncomfortable and disliked the rest.
“Had the Arctis Nova Pro Omni and while it sound and ANC was decent, I heavily disliked everything else about it, very uncomfortable”
After a few months it has been awesome, far better than the A50 X they had before.
“Omni is way better than a50x. I had the a50x for a few weeks and they’re awful. Omni has been awesome few months ive had it now”
A few days in they're impressed, though it needs EQ for bass; not a big step down from the Elite apart from ANC.
“I currently own the Omni's and gave my Astro's to my friend so far a few days in I'm impressed.”
They love it and find it sounds better than their old A50.
“Have an earlier gen A50 (before logitech) hated them. Have omni pro now and love them.”
Lightweight and comfortable but not worth $400: flimsy mic, all-plastic build, easily scratched DAC screen.
“For me, the Omnis were good but at $399.99, I dont think they are better even with the high res audio. My issue is mic quality and build quality.”
Two units both crackled and hissed at low volume, and the soft pads clamped their ears uncomfortably.
“I tried 2 Nova Pro Omnis and they both have the same **crackling and hissing** while playing something at low volume while ANC is off.”
After trying many headsets, this is the one they settled on for Xbox.
“I have now found my headset I am on my xbox series x steelseries arctic nova pro wireless omni midnight blue”
