Looking for a cheaper alternative to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni? It usually sells for about $400. Here are 4 cheaper swaps from $100: the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless is the closest match from another brand, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is a cheaper option from SteelSeries and the Corsair Void Wireless v2 is the cheapest at about $100. Each one says what you give up for the lower price.
The Omni is worth it if you play on more than one system and want one headset for all of them. SteelSeries says its GameHub base station can mix up to 4 audio sources at once (2 USB, Bluetooth and line-in), and Notebookcheck says the Omni replaces SteelSeries' separate PlayStation and Xbox versions with one device. SteelSeries also lists noise cancelling, two swappable batteries you charge in the GameHub, and Hi-Res wireless audio at 96kHz/24-bit. Notebookcheck called it a compelling all-platform gaming headset.
If you only play on one system, BGR said the Omni is a lot harder to justify unless you need its audio mixing, and it named the older Nova Pro Wireless ($300) as the cheaper option. Notebookcheck says the two share the same shape and design, while the Omni adds the wider frequency range over wireless, a new mic, longer battery life and multi-platform support. If you can live without noise cancelling, swappable batteries and a base station, the Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 ($170) and Corsair Void Wireless v2 ($100) cost far less.

Yes. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, at about $300 (25% less). Same design, noise cancelling and hot-swap batteries with a base station. The catch: Fewer base station inputs, and hi-res audio only when wired. SteelSeries' site no longer lists it, so stock may be limited.
Yes. Notebookcheck says the Omni replaces SteelSeries' separate PlayStation and Xbox versions with one device. BGR says one of the GameHub's USB-C inputs handles Xbox, because Xbox needs a hardware authentication chip.
Notebookcheck says they share the same shape and design. The Omni adds a 10 Hz to 40 kHz range over wireless (wired-only before), the ClearCast Pro mic with AI noise rejection, longer battery life and multi-platform support. The Nova Pro Wireless costs $300, against $400 for the Omni.
Notebookcheck lists up to 60 hours with both batteries and ANC off, and found real runtime falls a bit short. The GameHub charges the spare battery, so you can swap and keep going, though the connection drops during the swap.

Every swap is a product sold in the US that does the main job of the original. Close match is another brand with similar features, Same brand, cheaper is an older, smaller or renewed model from the same maker, and Budget pick is the cheapest thing that still does the job. On each page, Closest match is the close match nearest the original in price, and Lowest price is the cheapest swap. We compare published specs, retailer listings and reviews; we don't test products ourselves.
A cheaper product is cheaper for a reason. Each swap says what you give up, like weaker noise cancelling, a smaller screen or a shorter warranty, so you can decide if the savings are worth it.
Prices are typical US prices from retailer listings and price trackers, last checked October 2026. They are not live Amazon prices, which change often. When a price couldn't be confirmed, the page says “Check price on Amazon” instead of showing a number.
