Our take on the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless for PC

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless is an over-ear gaming headset that connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi via a USB-C dongle and also supports Bluetooth, so it works with PC, PlayStation, Switch and mobile. It is a lightweight, white model with a detachable boom mic and on-ear controls. The listed weight of 5.73 lb is far heavier than the actual headset, which is a few hundred grams, so treat that figure as a listing error. Pricing for this model has not been provided, so check the current best price against its recent range before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless worth it?
It is a solid pick if you game on PC or PlayStation and want one headset for both wireless dongle and Bluetooth audio. If you need Xbox support or very long battery life, look at other models.
Does it work with Xbox?
No. The USB-C dongle and Bluetooth connection cover PC, PlayStation, Switch and mobile, but Xbox consoles are not supported.
How long does the battery last?
SteelSeries rates it for roughly 30 hours over 2.4 GHz, less if you use Bluetooth at the same time. Real-world use is usually a bit lower.
Can I use it wired?
Yes, you can connect with a USB-C cable for charging and wired listening when the battery runs out.
What is in the box?
The headset, a USB-C wireless dongle, a USB-C charging cable and a detachable boom microphone.
When is it cheapest?
Gaming headsets like this usually drop during Black Friday, Prime Day and back-to-school sales. Check the price history before buying.
