Learn the best ways to mount your SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro headset and wireless base station to keep your desk tidy and gear protected.

Quick Answer

Choose a mount that holds both the headset and the wireless base station, like the Brainwavz Headphone & Game Controller Stand designed for SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, to keep your gear organized and within reach.

Why a dedicated dock mount beats a plain hanger

The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless comes with a base station that you need to access regularly for charging and audio controls. A plain headphone hanger leaves the base station taking up desk space or tucked away in a drawer, which defeats the convenience of the wireless system.

A mount designed for this specific headset includes a dedicated compartment for the base station, so both pieces stay together. That keeps your desk cleaner and makes it easier to grab the headset and dock when you need them.

Desk mount vs. wall mount: what changes

If you have desk space, a stand that sits on the desk is the simplest option—no drilling, and you can move it whenever you rearrange. If your desk is crowded, a wall mount or under-desk hanger frees up the surface, but you'll need to think about where the base station cable can reach and whether the mount can support the combined weight.

For the Nova Pro Wireless, the base station needs to stay connected to power and your PC, so a wall mount must be close enough to the cable path. An under-desk mount keeps everything hidden but makes it slightly harder to see the base station's screen and controls.

How to Mount Your Arctis Nova Pro Headset and Dock

1. Choose your mounting spot: Decide between a desk stand, wall mount, or under-desk hanger. For a desk stand, pick a spot near your PC where the base station cable can reach comfortably. For wall or under-desk mounts, measure the clearance so the headset doesn't hit the wall or your legs. Check that the base station's power and USB cables can reach the mounting location before you commit.
2. Position the base station in the dock compartment: If your mount includes a dedicated base station slot, align the dock with the compartment and press it in until it sits flush. Ensure the cable port is accessible and the front display is visible. Make sure the base station is seated firmly so it doesn't wobble when you lift the headset.
3. Place the headset on the stand: Rest the headband on the top hook or cradle, with the ear cups facing outward or inward depending on the stand design. Adjust the headband size if needed so it hangs naturally without stretching the band. Avoid forcing the headset; if it doesn't sit easily, adjust the headband or reposition the stand.
4. Route the cables neatly: Use the stand's cable management features or cable ties to guide the base station cable along the desk or wall. Keep the cable slack minimal to prevent tangles and accidental pulls. Leave a little slack near the base station so you can lift the dock for cleaning or re-seating.
5. Test stability and access: Gently tug the headset and dock to ensure the mount doesn't tip or slide. Confirm you can easily reach the base station's controls and the headset's mute button while wearing it. If the stand shifts, add a non-slip pad or move it to a more stable surface.
