Our digital expert will help you, but it can sometimes make mistakes, like humans do.
According to our gaming headset expert
Set up more than 100 various audio profiles to hear what others can't hear.
With this wireless headset, you're not bothered by cables during gaming.
You can game for hours without having to charge in between thanks to the 40-hour battery life.
For setting up the audio profiles, you need the Arctis Companion App.
Fabric ear cushions get dirty more easily and are more difficult to clean.
Adjust your audio settings to your lilking and get the most out of your favorite games with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Aqua. Wirelessly connect this headset to your Xbox, PlayStation, PC, or Nintendo Switch via the USB-C dongle or Bluetooth. That way, you're not bothered by cables while you're gaming. In the Arctis Companion App, you can discover more than 100 different audio settings. These audio profiles all have a unique focus, such as listening to footsteps or enjoying in-game music. With surround sound, you hear all the game audio in 360 degrees and you know exactly where your opponents are coming from. That way, you're always one step ahead. You can also communicate online with friends without background noise thanks to the noise suppression in the microphone. This way, your message always comes across clearly. The average battery life of the headset is 40 hours, so you can keep playing for a long time without charging it. This gaming headset weighs 260g, so you barely feel it and you can keep gaming for hours without neck pain. Often play alone or don't need a microphone? You can easily remove the microphone from the headset. This way, it's not in the way and you can keep gaming without interruptions.
Note: this gaming headset is made for Xbox, but you can also use it wirelessly on the PlayStation and PC.

After a few weeks of daily use, I can confidently say it: this headset is a keeper. The Arctis Nova 3P has become my go-to companion for everything from late-night gaming to Teams meetings where I pretend to pay attention.
What really stands out is how versatile it is. You plug it in effortlessly via USB-C, and it switches seamlessly between PS5, PC, and mobile. Whether I'm shooting Warzone in the evening or listening to music during work (okay, scrolling through Reddit) during the day, the sound remains top-notch. And with the various presets via the SteelSeries Sonar software (like Game, Music, or Custom), you always have the right sound for your mood.
Comfort-wise: it fits like it was designed specifically for my head. No pinching, no sweat, just chill, even after hours.
Now for charging. Within about 15 minutes, you'll have enough power for a few hours of use, and a full charge takes about an hour and a half. Ideal for people with zero patience (like me).
The only downside remains the microphone. It sounds good as long as you don't touch it. But as soon as you do: welcome to "Crackling Chips FM."
As for the rest? Just buy it. Period.

I've been using this headset for a few weeks now and I'm happy with it. You can easily switch between devices, and the 2.4 GHz works great! BT also provides a stable connection. Because the ear cushions are soft and the headband is adjustable, I can imagine this is not only comfortable for me, but also for people with slightly larger or smaller heads. It's quick to set up and pairs quickly with various devices. The Dongen for 2.4 GHz is also ideal for this.
The battery charges quickly, and once fully charged, I can easily use it for three days of gaming and listening to music.
