The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless Series gaming headsets have fast wireless connections and over 200 audio presets optimised for specific games.
They support 360-degree Spatial Audio and are designed with PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch in mind.
SteelSeries has launched a new generation of its popular Arctis Nova wireless gaming headsets.
The Arctis Nova 3 Wireless Series comes in two versions, one for PlayStation and one for Xbox, while both are also compatible with PCs and the Nintendo Switch.
The first thing you'll notice are the fun colours – in addition to black and white variants, you can also choose aqua or lavender. However, the most interesting thing about the headphones may well be the app they connect to.
The headphones have been launched alongside a new version of the Arctis app, which includes over 200 custom audio presets for specific games, such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, and GTA.
The profiles have been developed by audio engineers, esports players and game developers, and you can change them in real time without leaving the game.
According to SteelSeries, the presets ensure that you'll hear things other gamers don't.
