The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is the most feature-complete gaming headset available in Canada — it uses a hot-swap battery system so you never run out mid-game (swap and keep playing), includes an active noise-cancellation mode rare in gaming headsets, and supports simultaneous 2.4GHz + Bluetooth connections. It's the headset serious PC and PlayStation gamers reach for when they don't want compromises.
