  • 00:00:00
    I should be here recording all of my
  • 00:00:01
    videos for the hot new Turtle Beach
  • 00:00:03
    products releasing this week and I will
  • 00:00:05
    starting this Sunday I will have the
  • 00:00:07
    Turtle Beach Extravaganza coming out so
  • 00:00:10
    make sure to subscribe and hit the Bell
  • 00:00:11
    if you're interested in any of this hot
  • 00:00:13
    new gear coming from Turtle Beach but in
  • 00:00:15
    my recent review of the new steel series
  • 00:00:17
    Arctic Nova 5S I've been getting asked a
  • 00:00:20
    very similar question quite a bit should
  • 00:00:22
    you get the Nova 7s or the new Nova 5es
  • 00:00:25
    and I've said it many times before the
  • 00:00:28
    steel series Arctic Nova 7 are my
  • 00:00:31
    favorite allaround headset and why I
  • 00:00:33
    state that just to be clear before we
  • 00:00:35
    dive into this comparison is myself as a
  • 00:00:37
    reviewer yeah we test a lot of the
  • 00:00:39
    high-end stuff artics Nova Pro amazing
  • 00:00:41
    headset for sure up to $3,000 $5,000 I
  • 00:00:45
    think even more Studio high-end quality
  • 00:00:49
    headphones and yeah I love them and I
  • 00:00:51
    use them but if I was to class something
  • 00:00:52
    as my all-around favorite again I like
  • 00:00:55
    to stay levelheaded as a consumer if I
  • 00:00:57
    wasn't a reviewer what would I go to the
  • 00:00:59
    store and buy and the Nova 7s have
  • 00:01:01
    always been that so I understand and
  • 00:01:03
    totally relate with you all are the Nova
  • 00:01:05
    5es the new pick over the sevens so what
  • 00:01:08
    we're going to be taking a look at again
  • 00:01:10
    are the Nova 5ivs I have the Nova 5x
  • 00:01:13
    which is the version I recommend you get
  • 00:01:14
    because again you can use it on every
  • 00:01:16
    single platform and now that they're app
  • 00:01:17
    controlled you don't have to worry about
  • 00:01:19
    again does this work on this console or
  • 00:01:21
    that console it's going to work across
  • 00:01:22
    all of them so again I highly recommend
  • 00:01:24
    you go with the X version of the fives
  • 00:01:26
    but over here we have the regular sevens
  • 00:01:28
    with the regular Don that can't switch
  • 00:01:31
    and then over here with the 7x which I
  • 00:01:33
    primarily use which you can switch over
  • 00:01:35
    and snugs kind of got a hold of this
  • 00:01:38
    dongle a and yes as you see I have my
  • 00:01:42
    Nova 7s decked out in my Wicked cushions
  • 00:01:44
    gear I have the replaceable plates on
  • 00:01:46
    both of them over here and then of
  • 00:01:48
    course my Wicked cushion freeze pads I
  • 00:01:50
    just love the style of this now this is
  • 00:01:52
    The Phase Clan Edition H the reason for
  • 00:01:54
    that different headband but again steel
  • 00:01:56
    series does make custom headbands for
  • 00:01:58
    these as well but gosh these just look
  • 00:02:00
    awesome with the wicked cushions
  • 00:02:02
    accessories links for Wicked cushions
  • 00:02:03
    down in the description all right so
  • 00:02:05
    let's dive into the comparison here and
  • 00:02:07
    to keep it fair again we're going 5x and
  • 00:02:09
    I'm going to go against the 7x here
  • 00:02:11
    because again both of these can be used
  • 00:02:13
    on every single platform so kicking it
  • 00:02:15
    off with Comfort they're both pretty
  • 00:02:17
    much the exact same you do have your
  • 00:02:20
    headband up here on the sevens which is
  • 00:02:22
    more or less a silky material you can
  • 00:02:24
    pop it out on the arms right there and
  • 00:02:26
    it does adjust in like that you got that
  • 00:02:28
    full swivel ear pad going in and out now
  • 00:02:30
    coming over here to the fives again you
  • 00:02:32
    do have that adjustable headband which
  • 00:02:34
    by the way people asked if the headband
  • 00:02:37
    from the sevens in the pros can work on
  • 00:02:40
    these yes it can I'll show you right
  • 00:02:41
    here I'll snap it right in we got on the
  • 00:02:44
    highest adjustment right now and you see
  • 00:02:46
    it fits in there perfectly fine so if
  • 00:02:48
    you want to buy one of those replacement
  • 00:02:50
    kits from steel series and maybe get a
  • 00:02:51
    different color or a different headband
  • 00:02:53
    cuz I personally do like the headband on
  • 00:02:56
    the higher end the sevens or the pros
  • 00:02:58
    it's got that silky material over over
  • 00:03:00
    here you kind of have more or less that
  • 00:03:01
    elastic bit and then these hard plastic
  • 00:03:03
    bits on the side so I do prefer that
  • 00:03:06
    headband better and yes you can switch
  • 00:03:08
    them and as far as adjustability on the
  • 00:03:09
    new fives it's the exact same as the
  • 00:03:12
    sevens you got those tension arms going
  • 00:03:14
    in and out right there you got the forks
  • 00:03:16
    moving around your ear cup goes in and
  • 00:03:18
    out so again they both have full swivel
  • 00:03:20
    and the same adjustability as far as ear
  • 00:03:23
    cushions they both come with the exact
  • 00:03:24
    same ear cushions again I have my Wicked
  • 00:03:26
    cushions over here and yes the same pads
  • 00:03:28
    that you use on a seven will it on fives
  • 00:03:31
    they simply peel right off bam right
  • 00:03:34
    there you can see they have the same
  • 00:03:35
    type of deal for them to attach and you
  • 00:03:37
    can swap pads if you want but again the
  • 00:03:40
    pads that come on the fives are the same
  • 00:03:42
    that come on the sevens very comfortable
  • 00:03:44
    but a little bit shallow now before I
  • 00:03:45
    close out the comfort and let you know
  • 00:03:47
    which one wins I want to roll right into
  • 00:03:49
    the build because this does play into
  • 00:03:50
    the comfort of both of these headsets
  • 00:03:52
    over here on the sevens the headband up
  • 00:03:54
    here is reinforced with metal going all
  • 00:03:56
    the way around it and then as far as
  • 00:03:58
    your forks you can see you got one Loop
  • 00:03:59
    right over there some people have issues
  • 00:04:01
    with this how it dangles it's never
  • 00:04:03
    broken on me over time if you use these
  • 00:04:05
    for a year or more this does loosen up
  • 00:04:08
    quite a bit more it's never broken on me
  • 00:04:10
    again but again it does start to loosen
  • 00:04:12
    up there quite a bit but as far as the
  • 00:04:14
    build it's really just that fork and
  • 00:04:16
    then this is metal over here on the
  • 00:04:17
    fives you see you got both Forks going
  • 00:04:19
    over and the entire headset is plastic
  • 00:04:22
    which is incredibly incredibly
  • 00:04:25
    lightweight now yes I do have my Wicked
  • 00:04:26
    cushions over here which are a little
  • 00:04:28
    bit heavier but even with that without
  • 00:04:29
    that you notice the weight difference
  • 00:04:31
    over here on the sevens compared to the
  • 00:04:33
    fives these things are feather light and
  • 00:04:36
    when we take both of these headsets and
  • 00:04:37
    put them on our head again take into
  • 00:04:39
    account I have my wiked cushions over
  • 00:04:41
    here the clamping force on these are
  • 00:04:43
    definitely a lot lighter and I think
  • 00:04:45
    that goes in to play with that metal
  • 00:04:46
    headband again you're taking it you're
  • 00:04:48
    putting it on so that's stretching out
  • 00:04:49
    and kind of holding its position plus
  • 00:04:51
    you only have that one arm right there
  • 00:04:53
    so again the ear cups are going to flex
  • 00:04:55
    out a little bit more so the clamping
  • 00:04:56
    force on the sevens are definitely on
  • 00:04:58
    the light end coming over here to the
  • 00:05:00
    fives you know I'm going to put these
  • 00:05:02
    right on that line of light to medium
  • 00:05:04
    cresting right into medium there no
  • 00:05:06
    pressure it's not hurting my glasses or
  • 00:05:08
    pressing in or anything but they stay
  • 00:05:10
    put a whole lot more and again that goes
  • 00:05:11
    into multiple areas you got the full
  • 00:05:13
    Fork going over here rather than the one
  • 00:05:15
    arm you have the plastic headband so
  • 00:05:16
    it's going to really hold its tension
  • 00:05:18
    over time and it's incredibly
  • 00:05:20
    lightweight like no joke if I was to
  • 00:05:23
    give one the Winford Comfort here hands
  • 00:05:25
    down it is the Nova fives like these
  • 00:05:28
    things are amazing the sevens are
  • 00:05:30
    incredibly stinking cozy as well but the
  • 00:05:32
    lightweight of the fives is fantastic
  • 00:05:35
    Now features and functions is where
  • 00:05:36
    things start to get a little bit juicy
  • 00:05:38
    with these headsets again as far as the
  • 00:05:40
    dongles talking about the X version
  • 00:05:42
    again you can swap them from Xbox PC
  • 00:05:45
    PlayStation switch whatever just switch
  • 00:05:46
    it over USB or Xbox if you go with the
  • 00:05:48
    P's or the regulars you do not get this
  • 00:05:50
    option so again I repeat myself go with
  • 00:05:52
    the X version now talking about the
  • 00:05:54
    sevens over here you got mic mute your
  • 00:05:56
    volume all the the top bottoms down
  • 00:05:59
    retractable microphone with the LED
  • 00:06:01
    light down there you also have a 3.5
  • 00:06:03
    Port here USBC charging which I believe
  • 00:06:06
    on these guys you're only getting 36
  • 00:06:08
    hours or up to 36 hours you have your
  • 00:06:10
    game to chat dial power button Bluetooth
  • 00:06:13
    which this is simultaneous Bluetooth so
  • 00:06:15
    you can get game audio and music or
  • 00:06:17
    video Whatever two audio sources at the
  • 00:06:19
    same time via again 2.4 or Bluetooth
  • 00:06:22
    coming over here to the five a lot of
  • 00:06:24
    the similar buttons you got your mic
  • 00:06:26
    mute your volume top bottom to lowest
  • 00:06:29
    now over here just mild thing you can
  • 00:06:30
    see the buttons on the five or the
  • 00:06:33
    volume wheel is much smaller than the
  • 00:06:35
    one over there on the sevens and it's
  • 00:06:37
    also placed in a different location on
  • 00:06:39
    the fives is down here on the lower lip
  • 00:06:41
    on the sevens is up here on this upper
  • 00:06:42
    lip which I do prefer because if you sit
  • 00:06:44
    on a couch it's never going to again
  • 00:06:46
    touch that roll or let it slide back a
  • 00:06:48
    little bit over here on the fives again
  • 00:06:50
    if you're leaning back you can get that
  • 00:06:52
    accidental slip of the volume wheel
  • 00:06:54
    which they would have put it up here
  • 00:06:55
    anyways you got your microphone retracts
  • 00:06:57
    you got that light for muting which
  • 00:06:59
    would do do the mic test here shortly
  • 00:07:01
    over here on the other side you got your
  • 00:07:02
    quick switch or Bluetooth button power
  • 00:07:05
    button and then game to chat again the
  • 00:07:07
    wheel is placed down here on the bottom
  • 00:07:08
    rather than up here as it is over on the
  • 00:07:11
    sevens now the Bluetooth on the fives is
  • 00:07:13
    not simultaneous it's one of the other
  • 00:07:15
    hence the reason for the quick switch
  • 00:07:17
    button if you get a phone call it comes
  • 00:07:19
    right over and takes priority but again
  • 00:07:21
    you're not going to get two audio
  • 00:07:22
    sources it's going to be straight up
  • 00:07:24
    phone call straight up Bluetooth music
  • 00:07:25
    or whatever or straight up game when
  • 00:07:28
    over here on the sevens you can get both
  • 00:07:30
    and the battery life over here on the
  • 00:07:32
    fives is increased to up to 60 hours via
  • 00:07:35
    Bluetooth and I believe it's 50 hours
  • 00:07:37
    via 2.4 so uh significantly longer than
  • 00:07:40
    the sevens now the biggest difference
  • 00:07:42
    with the Nova 5S to the Nova 7s is the
  • 00:07:44
    app control for the Nova 5ivs I love
  • 00:07:47
    this I wish every game in headset was
  • 00:07:49
    controlled via an app it's so convenient
  • 00:07:51
    you're in game bam come down here get a
  • 00:07:53
    custom EQ these are all the sonar preset
  • 00:07:55
    eqs if you want to get a saved EQ or
  • 00:07:58
    your custom EQ you have to be on PC save
  • 00:08:00
    the sonar and then to the headset then
  • 00:08:02
    it saves over here to the app so that's
  • 00:08:05
    a little inconvenient but I never caught
  • 00:08:07
    myself needing that again whatever game
  • 00:08:08
    I was really using these sonar ones are
  • 00:08:10
    dialed in really good not excessive or
  • 00:08:12
    goofy by any means so really cool and
  • 00:08:14
    then of course you got different
  • 00:08:15
    settings for Bluetooth if you want a
  • 00:08:17
    different EQ for Bluetooth in 2.4 you
  • 00:08:20
    switch it like that again some other
  • 00:08:21
    settings as far as your microphone your
  • 00:08:23
    side tone the mute LED and then your
  • 00:08:26
    basic settings over here as far as
  • 00:08:27
    firmware and stuff now as far as update
  • 00:08:29
    in this headset it does have to be
  • 00:08:31
    plugged into a PC I wish steel series
  • 00:08:33
    would add two things to this app number
  • 00:08:35
    one over the a uh updates via Bluetooth
  • 00:08:38
    on the app and then also being able to
  • 00:08:40
    set a custom EQ on the app rather than
  • 00:08:42
    having to go to PC and then to this but
  • 00:08:45
    at the end of the day this is
  • 00:08:47
    gamechanging again I've stated it in
  • 00:08:49
    many headset videos razors Turtle
  • 00:08:51
    Beaches which they all do I think every
  • 00:08:53
    gaming headset should have an app
  • 00:08:55
    function of course if the headset has
  • 00:08:57
    Bluetooth and it's in that price range
  • 00:08:58
    app functionality just makes headsets so
  • 00:09:00
    much more convenient and a pleasure to
  • 00:09:03
    use cuz you just swipe a finger pick
  • 00:09:04
    what you want as you're jumping around
  • 00:09:06
    game to game now for the test that I am
  • 00:09:08
    incredibly excited about because if you
  • 00:09:10
    watch my standler review of the 5x they
  • 00:09:13
    talked about the updated chipset the Gen
  • 00:09:15
    to whatever and it lets 16bit audio go
  • 00:09:18
    from the microphone we're all familiar
  • 00:09:19
    with previous steel series headsets I
  • 00:09:21
    stated in just about all of my videos
  • 00:09:22
    and we all know their microphones are
  • 00:09:25
    bad they're just tiny they're Airy like
  • 00:09:27
    an old cell phone or walkie-talkie or
  • 00:09:30
    something which is probably what you're
  • 00:09:31
    getting here I'm going to keep this fair
  • 00:09:32
    I got it right about a thumbs length
  • 00:09:34
    from my mouth so we're going to make
  • 00:09:35
    sure we get the same distance over there
  • 00:09:37
    now you do
  • 00:09:40
    have that mute light function on the
  • 00:09:42
    microphone here it's retractable again
  • 00:09:44
    you get that tone in the headset
  • 00:09:45
    whenever you mute it but as far as sound
  • 00:09:47
    of the microphone this is the Nova 7s
  • 00:09:49
    which is pretty much what you're going
  • 00:09:50
    to get across all of them the Nova Pros
  • 00:09:53
    any of the other novas this is what the
  • 00:09:54
    microphone sounds like let's see if the
  • 00:09:56
    updated one is truly better than the old
  • 00:09:59
    one and now you're hearing the
  • 00:10:00
    microphone on the Nova 5x again I'm
  • 00:10:02
    right at that thumb length maybe a
  • 00:10:04
    little bit Clos let me bump it out there
  • 00:10:05
    a little bit so now we're right at that
  • 00:10:06
    thumb length distance and as far as in
  • 00:10:08
    the app I went ahead and set the
  • 00:10:10
    microphone to right at 75% and in my
  • 00:10:12
    recording device the volume is set to
  • 00:10:14
    the same of the Nova 7s here and I will
  • 00:10:17
    tell you what just looking at my graph
  • 00:10:19
    here like holy SCH smokes this headset
  • 00:10:21
    is not nearly picking up as much as that
  • 00:10:23
    headset was so I think it's canceling
  • 00:10:25
    out some of those other sounds when you
  • 00:10:27
    hear me talk I have a lot of PS and T's
  • 00:10:29
    right so that'll depend on how you talk
  • 00:10:31
    there but it's just a subtle down more
  • 00:10:34
    clear graph that I'm seeing when it's
  • 00:10:36
    recording here so again listening to One
  • 00:10:39
    to the other we're going to hear that
  • 00:10:41
    difference there and there's no tweaking
  • 00:10:43
    no editing or anything this is straight
  • 00:10:44
    plugged in played of course you do have
  • 00:10:46
    that app control in here which I have
  • 00:10:48
    set to 75% just so we're clear on that
  • 00:10:51
    and the mic difference you do have the
  • 00:10:53
    mute button
  • 00:10:55
    here which you do get a tone it's a much
  • 00:10:58
    quieter tone in this headset then
  • 00:11:00
    compared to the sevens and you also get
  • 00:11:02
    that LED indicator so again mic to mic
  • 00:11:05
    let's see which one sounds better so I
  • 00:11:07
    just listened to both of those
  • 00:11:08
    microphone test there and clear as day
  • 00:11:10
    the Nova 5 sounds significantly better
  • 00:11:13
    there's more body in it they sound a
  • 00:11:14
    little bit more full a little bit more
  • 00:11:16
    natural when over here again it just
  • 00:11:18
    sounds tiny Airy like a walkie-talkie or
  • 00:11:20
    just something bad like that you know is
  • 00:11:22
    this mic perfect this is the best gaming
  • 00:11:25
    microphone you're going to find on a
  • 00:11:26
    headset no it's not again those P's and
  • 00:11:28
    t's for me still a little bit more
  • 00:11:30
    prominent I've experienced ones from
  • 00:11:31
    like Razer and uh Logitech one or utsy
  • 00:11:34
    some of their mics are a little bit
  • 00:11:35
    better but again they do also have those
  • 00:11:38
    wind screens on them you don't get that
  • 00:11:39
    light indicator so it's kind of like I
  • 00:11:41
    sit here thinking in my head like will I
  • 00:11:43
    sacrifice a windscreen over this which
  • 00:11:45
    you can put it over for like you can get
  • 00:11:47
    pack of windc screens for like five
  • 00:11:48
    bucks on Amazon but would I sacrifice
  • 00:11:51
    that wind screen for that mute indicator
  • 00:11:53
    I love that mute indicator so I know my
  • 00:11:55
    microphone's muted right there you know
  • 00:11:57
    so I don't know maybe hopefully in
  • 00:11:59
    future iterations of Steel series
  • 00:12:00
    headsets they can find a way to
  • 00:12:02
    implement maybe a little pop filter
  • 00:12:05
    little windscreen inside the microphone
  • 00:12:06
    and still give us that that one I'm
  • 00:12:08
    going to give you for free steel series
  • 00:12:10
    any other ideas after that I'm going to
  • 00:12:11
    charge you 5% for each unit sold so how
  • 00:12:14
    about sound is there a difference
  • 00:12:16
    between either of these headsets well
  • 00:12:18
    I'll tell you what they're both using 40
  • 00:12:20
    mm drivers with a freak range of 20 to
  • 00:12:22
    22,000 when you pop the ear cup off and
  • 00:12:24
    look at the drivers which the camera's
  • 00:12:26
    not going to pick up they even look the
  • 00:12:28
    exact same and and yes they sound the
  • 00:12:31
    exact same briefly summarizing the sound
  • 00:12:34
    here which I've talked about so much um
  • 00:12:36
    it's the same as the sevens it's the
  • 00:12:38
    same as the previous arcst where you can
  • 00:12:39
    get into different Sounders when you
  • 00:12:40
    step up into the pros so with the new
  • 00:12:43
    Nova line they are a little bit more
  • 00:12:44
    Basse a little bit more full they're not
  • 00:12:46
    heavy by any means or thumpy but there's
  • 00:12:49
    a little bit more body a little bit more
  • 00:12:50
    immersion right I play a Diablo en join
  • 00:12:53
    that new season I play a lot of Destiny
  • 00:12:54
    those are pretty much my two primary gam
  • 00:12:56
    I'm playing Star Wars Survivor whatever
  • 00:12:58
    not a star Wars fan but my gosh am I
  • 00:13:00
    loving that game so we got games with
  • 00:13:02
    chaos a lot going on and then some
  • 00:13:05
    dialogue and stuff you know and I can
  • 00:13:07
    get everything I want here over on the
  • 00:13:08
    fives I pretty much kept it on a destiny
  • 00:13:10
    EQ all the time which was just nice
  • 00:13:12
    because again I got detail dialogue
  • 00:13:14
    environment and music I got everything
  • 00:13:17
    right there nice and balanced now over
  • 00:13:19
    here on the sevens of course you're
  • 00:13:21
    going to be adjusting that stuff on the
  • 00:13:22
    PC which is a little bit of a pain but
  • 00:13:24
    yes you're going to get the exact same
  • 00:13:27
    sound over here now when you slap on
  • 00:13:29
    your wicked cushions it's going to hold
  • 00:13:30
    in that sound a little bit more since
  • 00:13:31
    these are pretty much fully cloth a
  • 00:13:33
    little bit of pleather inside but once
  • 00:13:34
    they compress it's pretty much full
  • 00:13:35
    cloth so if you want to lock in some
  • 00:13:37
    more of that base a little bit more full
  • 00:13:39
    sound or block out some of the sounds
  • 00:13:41
    from out there definitely get your
  • 00:13:42
    wicked cushions and slap those on but
  • 00:13:44
    that's besides the point the core sound
  • 00:13:46
    here it is Fuller but you still get that
  • 00:13:48
    detail and you can really play around
  • 00:13:50
    with the sound if you want a little bit
  • 00:13:51
    more uh detail a little more treble you
  • 00:13:54
    can get that here right so playing
  • 00:13:56
    Diablo you got all these monsters going
  • 00:13:58
    around and you got your ability ities
  • 00:13:59
    per your character your class you're
  • 00:14:01
    still going to hear the separation of
  • 00:14:02
    both you hear the monsters and again
  • 00:14:04
    your abilities from your class it's not
  • 00:14:06
    like the monsters are going to over do
  • 00:14:09
    all the other sounds which is what I
  • 00:14:10
    really like so I can still again get
  • 00:14:12
    involved with my character and feel like
  • 00:14:14
    I'm actually there same thing with
  • 00:14:15
    Destiny you got the hive and this out of
  • 00:14:17
    the other but you can still hear the
  • 00:14:19
    reloads and the sounds of each different
  • 00:14:21
    weapon if you're using a bow or rocket
  • 00:14:22
    launcher or something you know really
  • 00:14:24
    cool to get that and then it go going to
  • 00:14:26
    Jedi fall Survivor it's cool to get that
  • 00:14:29
    dialogue and then again the environment
  • 00:14:32
    and the body it was it just does
  • 00:14:34
    everything you need it's not doing
  • 00:14:35
    anything too much or too little it's
  • 00:14:38
    right here it's that sound I think
  • 00:14:39
    everybody get down with the previous
  • 00:14:41
    Arctic line was focused on highs so many
  • 00:14:44
    highs on those which is why I love them
  • 00:14:46
    back in the days because I mainly played
  • 00:14:47
    FPS games these days I really don't play
  • 00:14:50
    too many FPS games I'm looking forward
  • 00:14:52
    to ex defyant but again a lot of them
  • 00:14:54
    have gotten kind of stale so I play a
  • 00:14:56
    lot more story games or PVE uh type of
  • 00:14:59
    of games and these really do it again
  • 00:15:01
    the biggest thing that's going to
  • 00:15:02
    differentiate these two headsets is the
  • 00:15:04
    Nova fivs being able to use app control
  • 00:15:07
    just by your fingertips if you're
  • 00:15:08
    playing Destiny bam you swing over and
  • 00:15:10
    you want to play an FPS game or you want
  • 00:15:12
    to come over to a racing game you can do
  • 00:15:14
    that over here you're going to have to
  • 00:15:15
    be on PC to adjust those sounds which is
  • 00:15:18
    a bit of a stinker but at the core yes
  • 00:15:20
    they both sound the exact same so now
  • 00:15:23
    for our final showdown and maybe the
  • 00:15:25
    biggest comparison that will make up
  • 00:15:27
    your mind for you is the price the value
  • 00:15:29
    of these headsets the Nova 7s are coming
  • 00:15:31
    in at $180 MSRP and they've been out for
  • 00:15:34
    a little while so you can find them for
  • 00:15:36
    around $150 these days all day long
  • 00:15:38
    pending color and platform that you go
  • 00:15:40
    with and then the Nova fivs are coming
  • 00:15:43
    in at
  • 00:15:44
    $130 so look at MSRP to MSRP
  • 00:15:48
    180130 I say all day long go with the
  • 00:15:51
    Nova 5S it's a no-brainer right but say
  • 00:15:53
    if we look at the sale price you're only
  • 00:15:55
    talking $20 difference what is the key
  • 00:15:58
    difference here simultaneous Bluetooth
  • 00:16:01
    and then app control don't look at the
  • 00:16:03
    build as anything different I don't know
  • 00:16:05
    you know maybe I might retract that and
  • 00:16:07
    say the lightweight of this is a really
  • 00:16:08
    good selling point which I I really do
  • 00:16:10
    so let me let me retrack that and say
  • 00:16:12
    the lightweight of the Nova 5es is
  • 00:16:14
    definitely a big selling point but you
  • 00:16:15
    got to look at that is simultaneous
  • 00:16:17
    Bluetooth a big factor for you playing
  • 00:16:20
    racing games you want your music there's
  • 00:16:21
    no question you're going with the sevens
  • 00:16:24
    if it's not and you want that app
  • 00:16:25
    control you just want to be able to get
  • 00:16:26
    a phone call which is pretty much what I
  • 00:16:28
    need need and I absolutely love app
  • 00:16:30
    control the fives are the clear as day
  • 00:16:33
    winner and yes if it was me right now I
  • 00:16:36
    would choose the Nova fives they're
  • 00:16:39
    doing everything I want and I'm going to
  • 00:16:41
    save some money does that mean I'm going
  • 00:16:43
    to box up my ever so gorgeous custom
  • 00:16:45
    Nova 7s here I mean I can't change out
  • 00:16:48
    the ear cut plate on the Nova 5S but I
  • 00:16:51
    can swap out the ear pads and the
  • 00:16:52
    headbands probably going to have to get
  • 00:16:54
    with wikied cushions and customize these
  • 00:16:56
    up a bit cuz I am going with the Nova 5
  • 00:16:58
    so I hope you enjoyed this video I hope
  • 00:17:00
    it was able to help you out but most
  • 00:17:02
    importantly I hope it was able to save
  • 00:17:04
    you some money maybe you can add some of
  • 00:17:06
    that money to some of those new Turtle
  • 00:17:07
