Gaming accessory manufacturer SteelSeries is back with a new wireless headset named the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless . Designed to provide a comprehensive gaming experience at an affordable price, this model combines custom-designed drivers, a brand-new mobile companion app, and a USB-C Quick Switch Wireless dongle for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity.
Targeting a multiplatform gaming experience , the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless comes in two versions. The 3P model is not compatible with Xbox consoles, while the 3X model is designed for universal compatibility across all platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Depending on the version, this SteelSeries headset guarantees support for Tempest 3D spatial audio (PS5) and Microsoft Spatial Sound technologies.
More than 200 Audio Presets, USB-C Dongle Included and Bluetooth 5.3
Beyond its impressive audio performance, which promises ” rich bass ” and a good level of ” detail ,” the Arctis Nova 3 excels in its multiple features. The new Arctis mobile app (available on iOS & Android ) allows for simple and intuitive control without leaving the game. It provides access to an impressive 200 audio presets , some of which are specifically designed for popular games like Call of Duty , Fortnite , and GTA . Additionally, users can save customized sound profiles through a band equalizer.
Connectivity options are also noteworthy, allowing users to seamlessly switch between a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection and Bluetooth 5.3 via a dedicated switch. This is a convenient feature for answering phone calls or listening to music while gaming. The Quick Switch dongle connects easily to the USB-C port of the source, providing a low-latency , uncompressed audio signal.
Enhanced Microphones, Generous Battery Life, and Lightweight Design
SteelSeries has invested heavily in the microphone of the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless . The company claims ” twice as clear ” communication thanks to a ClearCast 2.X removable microphone that captures high-resolution audio up to 16 bits / 32 kHz . Battery life is equally impressive, with the headset boasting up to 30 hours of usage on a 2.4 GHz connection and 40 hours on Bluetooth. Just 15 minutes of charging provides up to 9 hours of use.
Weighing in at just 260 grams , the headset features a flexible design and an adjustable headband for optimal comfort during extended gaming sessions. However, SteelSeries does not mention any foldability features, which makes the headset slightly less portable for those looking to use it as a mobile headset.
Available in both 3X and 3P versions, the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless headset is already on the market at a price of €109.99 , offered in various finishes including black, white, turquoise, and lavender.
