Arctis Nova 3P Wireless
My favorite thing about the Arctis Nova 3 is their fit: They’re the most comfortable of any gaming headset I’ve tested. They’re very lightweight, which makes them great for long gaming sessions and big heads like mine, and the ear cups are a light, squishy mesh that breathes without sacrificing too much in sound isolation. Despite the extremely lightweight construction, battery life doesn’t disappoint, with these cans lasting around 30 hours on a single charge.
They sound excellent for both gaming and mixed media use, largely thanks to the SteelSeries app, which has a huge library of game-specific equalizer presets ready for any situation. It makes up for the lack of Dolby Atmos, and the spatial audio implementation is pretty good, even without Dolby’s official seal of approval. On the input side, the microphone does a surprisingly good job of filtering out unwanted noise, like a sudden sneeze or my dog barking at the mail carrier. I wouldn’t use it for any professional recording sessions, but for the price it sounds clearer than most other gaming headsets.
While the Arctis Nova 3 has great compatibility with all your modern major gaming consoles, including PC and Switch 2, there are two versions of it, so you’ll want to make sure you get the right console for you. The Nova 3X supports all systems including Xbox and PlayStation consoles, while the 3P lacks Xbox support. Unless you’re committed to never buying a Sony for some reason, I’d recommend going for the 3X, which is currently marked down to $90 in white. If you’re a dedicated PlayStation gamer or want a splash of color, the Aqua Nova 3P is also available in slightly higher aqua for $97 or lavender for $100.
