Wireless gaming headset
SteelSeries' entry-level wireless gaming headset for PlayStation, with a USB-C 2.4 GHz dongle, Bluetooth and a detachable boom mic. It switches between the two connections rather than playing both; the Arctis Nova 5P Wireless adds a retractable mic and longer battery life.

PlayStation, PC and Switch, not Xbox
The USB-C dongle works with PS5, PC, Mac, Switch, handhelds, Meta Quest and USB-C phones. It has no Xbox mode; the Arctis Nova 3X Wireless adds one.

Game presets from a phone app
SteelSeries' phone app loads game-specific EQ presets onto the headset, so you can change the sound while playing on console. The 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connections keep separate presets.

Light plastic build
At 260 g it is light, and reviewers found it comfortable for long sessions. The build is mostly plastic and feels less robust than pricier Arctis Nova models.
