SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P 61687 Wireless Gaming Headset, White, 40-Hour Battery

For gamers who move between PlayStation, PC, Switch, and mobile devices, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Wireless combines multi-platform connections with audio controls in the Arctis Companion app. Its 2.4GHz USB-C dongle supports wireless gaming, while Bluetooth makes it easy to switch to calls, music, or other media.

The mobile app offers more than 200 game audio presets, so you can tailor sound profiles for supported games without leaving play.

Fit and sizing

At 260G, the over-ear headset pairs a stretchy headband with multiple adjustment points to help you find a comfortable fit for gaming or everyday listening. Its dual-hinge design adds durability to a headset built to move between devices and settings. The detachable microphone keeps voice chat ready when you need it and lets you remove the mic for other listening sessions.

Benefits

Custom-designed neodymium magnetic drivers deliver clear highs, defined mids, and deep bass for a detailed game and media soundscape. In the Arctis Companion app, more than 200 presets include profiles for games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, Minecraft, and GTA V. You can change presets in real time, making it practical to adjust the sound for different games from your phone.

The headset supports both 2.4GHz wireless through its USB-C dongle and Bluetooth. That gives multi-platform players a flexible alternative to a headset focused on one device: use the dongle with PlayStation, PC, Switch, handhelds, or mobile devices, then use Bluetooth for a call or music. A full charge provides up to 40 hours of playback, and 15 minutes of fast charging provides up to 9 hours. Buyers praise comfort, battery life, and easy Bluetooth connection, while opinions on sound, microphone, fit, and build quality are mixed.
