I'm thinking about getting some wireless headphones, specifically the Arctis Nova 5 wireless, but my PC doesn't have a USB-C port. I'm considering using a USB-C to USB-A adapter for the connection. Will this adapter significantly impact the sound quality?

Using a good quality USB-C to USB-A adapter shouldn't affect sound quality much, as long as it supports data transfer. Make sure to look for one that mentions it's suitable for audio and not just for charging, and you should be good!

It's a bit odd that your wireless headphones need a USB-C port, but it's probably for the 2.4GHz dongle. Generally, as long as the adapter is reliable, you won't notice a difference in sound quality when using high-end headphones like the Arctis Nova 5.
