The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is a headset for gamers that sits between the Nova Pro Wireless and the Nova Elite. It comes with a base station, two batteries, active noise cancellation and support for multiple audio sources at the same time, together with broad compatibility for games and mobile devices.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni builds on the Nova Pro Wireless, but adds more simultaneous audio sources, a better microphone and broader support for different platforms. The idea is that you should be able to bring together gaming, chat and music in the same headset without changing your setup between devices.
The headset uses 40 mm neodymium drivers and delivers high-resolution audio wirelessly via 2.4 GHz. There is also Bluetooth 5.3 LE with LC3+, which provides low latency and good sound quality for mobile use. Via Gamehub you get three USB-C inputs, line in and line out, so several sources can be active at the same time.
The new Clearcast Pro microphone has greater bandwidth than before and is combined with AI-based noise reduction directly in the hardware. This means background noise is filtered out on multiple platforms, not just on PC. The headphones also have improved active noise cancellation and a transparency mode when you want to hear your surroundings without taking off the headset.
SteelSeries uses a dual-battery system where one battery charges while the other is in use. Each battery lasts up to 30 hours, and fast charging gives several hours of play in a short time. In the Arctis app you can adjust EQ, mic level, chat mix, spatial audio and volume per source, as well as choose from many game profiles.
It works with PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and Bluetooth devices. The base station also makes it easier to bring multiple sources together in the same setup.
You can mix up to four audio sources in parallel, for example gaming, Discord, music and mobile calls.
Yes, the headphones have active noise cancellation and it has been improved compared with the previous model.
The headset uses two batteries. One charges in the base station while the other is in use, so you can swap without a lengthy interruption.
Each battery lasts up to 30 hours according to the specifications, but practical use is longer thanks to the swap system.
Yes, the microphone has built-in AI noise reduction designed to reduce background noise across multiple platforms.
Yes, the Arctis app gives access to EQ, microphone settings, chat mix, spatial audio and volume per source.
Omni adds more simultaneous audio sources, a better microphone, improved ANC, Hi-Res Wireless and broader compatibility.

Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is closer to Omni in layout, but lacks several of the newer improvements. It still has a base station, active noise cancellation and dual batteries, but Omni adds more simultaneous audio sources, a better microphone and Hi-Res Wireless.
If you want SteelSeries premium feel but do not need the latest multi-source mixing, it can be a more direct option. It also suits you if you are already happy with the older generation’s features and want to keep the cost down compared with Omni.

Arctis Nova Elite is the top model in the range and goes further in materials and finish. It uses carbon fibre drivers and has the most premium construction in the series, while also supporting OmniPlay and multiple simultaneous sources.
Compared with Omni, Elite is more exclusive and more expensive. Omni is therefore a more accessible choice for those who want many of the features but do not need the most premium model or the same luxurious level of materials and finish.
