I've never been one to be bothered by a heavy headset. Or at least, so I thought. For me, sound quality is king, and I'll happily take a chunkier model if it delivers chunky sound to match. But after using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless for the past few weeks, I may have been converted to the light side.
SteelSeries' latest headset comes in at a practically featherweight 277 grams. That makes it something of a non-event to pull from the substantial packaging, as something ringing in the back of my brain still thinks that heavy = well-made. On closer inspection, however, the Nova 5X reveals a build quality that, on first appearances, goes some way to justifying its $130 price.
