Turtle Beach made a good SteelSeries headset clone that’s $50 less
SteelSeries released the Nova Pro Omni gaming headset on May 5th at $399, succeeding the 2022 Nova Pro Wireless with several upgrades. The new model features wireless hi-res audio support (24-bit/96kHz at 2.4GHz), improved microphone quality, and universal compatibility across all major gaming consoles. The company also offers a premium $599 variant called the Nova Elite, which adds enhanced build materials and larger drivers.
Turtle Beach is directly competing with a comparable wireless gaming headset priced approximately $50 less than the Omni. Both manufacturers are emphasizing wireless hi-res audio as a marquee feature, though both companies acknowledge that superior audio alone isn’t the primary reason for upgrading. Other factors driving the value proposition include improved build quality, better microphone performance, and seamless cross-platform support across gaming systems.
The release represents the continued evolution of premium gaming peripherals, with manufacturers incorporating advanced audio technologies to meet increasingly demanding standards in the competitive gaming headset market.
