FAQs
How does the Infinity Power System work with the hot-swappable batteries?
The headset comes with two batteries. One powers the headset while the other charges in the Wireless Base Station. When the headset's battery runs low, you can quickly swap it with the fully charged battery from the base station, providing continuous, virtually unlimited playtime without interruption.
Can I use this headset with devices other than Xbox and PC?
Yes, in addition to Xbox and PC connectivity via the Wireless Base Station, the headset also supports Bluetooth, allowing you to connect to mobile phones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices for calls and audio.
How do I activate or adjust Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)?
ANC settings can be controlled directly from the Wireless Base Station's OLED display. Navigate through the menu to find the ANC options, where you can toggle it on/off and adjust its intensity or transparency mode if available.
How do I customize EQ settings and audio profiles?
All major audio customizations, including EQ settings and switching between audio profiles, are managed through the OLED display on the Wireless Base Station. On PC, you can also use the SteelSeries GG software for more detailed customization.
What does 'Hi-Res Audio Certification' mean?
Hi-Res Audio Certification indicates that the headset is capable of reproducing sound at a higher fidelity than standard audio formats, capturing more detail from original studio recordings. This results in a richer, more accurate sound experience for both games and music.
How do I switch between my console and PC using the Base Station?
The Wireless Base Station has dedicated ports for connecting to different devices (e.g., Xbox and PC). You can switch between connected devices seamlessly using the controls on the Base Station, typically by navigating the menu on the OLED display to select the desired input source.
Can I use the microphone and listen to Bluetooth audio at the same time?
Yes, the headset supports simultaneous audio mixing. You can connect to your gaming console/PC via the Wireless Base Station for game audio and microphone, while simultaneously connected to your phone via Bluetooth for calls or mobile audio.
Troubleshooting
Headset won't turn on or has no audio.
Ensure the battery in the headset is charged and properly inserted. Check that the Wireless Base Station is powered on and correctly connected to your gaming device (Xbox/PC). Verify all cables are securely plugged in. Try swapping to the second charged battery.
Microphone is not picking up my voice.
First, ensure the microphone is fully extended from the earcup and not muted (check the mute button on the headset). On your device, confirm the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is selected as the default input device. Check the mic gain settings on the Wireless Base Station or in your device's audio settings.
Poor audio quality, static, or disconnections.
Check for potential wireless interference from other devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other wireless peripherals) and try moving them further away from the Base Station. Ensure the headset is within range of the Base Station. Reset the headset and Base Station by powering them off and on again. Update firmware via SteelSeries GG software if available.
