Looking for a cheaper alternative to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless? It usually sells for about $300. Here are 4 cheaper swaps from $58: the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless is the closest match from another brand, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 is a cheaper option from SteelSeries and the HyperX Cloud III is the cheapest at about $58. Each one says what you give up for the lower price.
The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is worth it for long sessions: two hot-swappable batteries, rated about 22 hours each, mean the headset never has to sit on a charger. It also adds noise cancelling with a transparency mode, a retractable mic and Bluetooth for a phone alongside the console, which matters if you game in a noisy room.
If you rarely play more than a day between charges, the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 ($170) keeps the same headband and dual wireless for much less. The HyperX Cloud III S Wireless ($130) or Corsair Void Wireless v2 ($100) suit players who want wireless without paying for ANC, and the wired HyperX Cloud III ($58) is enough at a desk.

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.
