SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless series headset and Arctis App launched
SteelSeries has expanded its range of wireless gaming headsets with the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless series. This includes the Nova 3X Wireless and the Nova 3P Wireless. As the names suggest, these work with Xbox and PlayStation consoles with some cross compatibility between the two. The company has also launched an app for easy control and customizability.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless series specifications and features
A successor to the Arctis Nova 3 wired headset (Buy on Amazon), the Wireless option brings 2.4 GHz as well as Bluetooth connectivity. They have a mostly similar design to the wired variant with a few changes. The built-in battery can last up to 40 hours and supports fast charging which gives them nine hours of battery life with a quick 15-minute charge. The Arctis Nova 3 Wireless series is powered by 40mm neodymium drivers with a frequency response range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and 36 Ohms impedance. They also have 360-degree spatial audio support.
The microphone, this time around, is a detachable one unlike the retractable one on the wired variant. It is a ClearCast Gen 2.X bidirectional noise canceling mic. As mentioned earlier, the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless series can be connected via the 2.4 GHz dongle or Bluetooth 5.3, and it can quickly switch between the two with the press of a button. However, simultaneous inputs are not supported.
The included battery has increased the weight compared to the wired option but the detachable mic has somewhat compensated for it. The Arctis Nova 3 Wireless is only six grams heavier than the wired option at 260 grams.
As for compatibility, the Nova 3X Wireless supports wireless connectivity via USB C dongle with Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Switch, Mac, VR, handhelds, mobile, and more. The Nova 3P Wireless, however, skips on the Xbox connectivity.
SteelSeries has also launched the Arctis App available on the Google Play Store and App Store. It brings over 200 game specific audio presets and allows switching between the connected devices. Notably, the website mentions the app is exclusively tailored for the Arctis Nova 5 series (Buy on Amazon) and Arctis Gamebuds (Buy on Amazon) with no mention of the new Arctis Nova 3 Wireless series.
