It sounds good and it’s comfy. It has two issues. The cord location is awful. It sits awkwardly on your shoulder so the connection will constantly be wiggling- probably bad for it in the long run. Another issue- you cannot turn the volume of the headset all the way up or it will produce a buzz/ glitchy sound. I mean not a huge deal but it’s a known issue with this headset. I don’t use the mic so I can’t speak on its quality.

Great headphones, may need cleaning every week but amazing quality, I like to have bass while listening to music and it is amazing, microphone is 10/10, when not needed I can just slide it back into its slot, I love how customizable it is with colors through the PC app.

Love this headset. I wear glasses and this is the only headset ive ever bought where it doesnt squash my glasses against my head which gets painful after long use and I have to adjust my glasses, for me alot of the other headsets that I wore like, turtle beach, hyper X, Asus, all squashed my glasses against my head and some made the pain worse quicker where I wouldnt play my game for very long because of the irritation. This headset I can play all day long and it doesnt squash my glasses against my head. The sound quality is also very good, the mic will pick up background noise but you can adjust that to where it will no long pick up back ground noise. RGB can live with or without, made it purple for my favorite color, I hardly turn it on because I cannot see the lights anyway. Would recommend to anyone who wears glasses or without glasses. They are compfy.

Simply one of the best brands and headsets out there. The quality on this mic is insane for the price. It works very well, fits super comfortably, is very light and has rgb lighting to customize. The audio quality is also great. I would buy this headset twice if I could.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 is a remarkable mid-range gaming headset that combines comfort, audio quality, and stylish design. With its versatile connectivity and immersive sound, it’s perfect for gamers who want premium features without a hefty price tag.
Design and Comfort
The Nova 3 features a sleek, lightweight design with a durable build. The adjustable headband and soft memory foam ear cushions provide exceptional comfort, even during marathon gaming sessions. The RGB lighting on the earcups adds a touch of flair, allowing for personalization through SteelSeries' software.
Sound Quality
The audio quality is where the Nova 3 truly shines. Its custom-tuned drivers deliver clear and balanced sound, making it ideal for both gaming and music. The headset offers immersive 360-degree spatial audio, enhancing situational awareness in competitive games. The bass is punchy without overwhelming the mids and highs, providing an excellent overall audio experience.
Microphone
The retractable noise-canceling microphone is a standout feature. It captures your voice with clarity while effectively reducing background noise, ensuring smooth communication during multiplayer sessions.
Compatibility and Connectivity
The Nova 3 connects via USB-C, making it compatible with PCs, consoles, and mobile devices. It also includes a USB-A adapter for added flexibility. The lack of a wireless option may deter some, but the wired connection ensures consistent audio quality with no latency.
Software
The SteelSeries GG software allows you to fine-tune the audio, microphone settings, and RGB lighting. The customization options are extensive, letting you tailor the headset to your preferences.
Pros
Comfortable and lightweight design
Immersive 360-degree spatial audio
Excellent noise-canceling microphone

I was recently transitioned back into the office and wanted a quality USB wired headset. Hooked up the device through USB C (headphone to pc) and installed the SteelSeries software (wasnt necessary to use with PC). Sound is customizable, along with the lighting on the headset.
Sound quality and mic quality are wonderful. The noise canceling isn't great but good enough for the distractions of the office. Music quality is top notch. Would buy again.

Very good headphones overall, the sound quality is good, they look good, they were not super expensive, and I like the ergonomics, however the volume slider sometimes causes the left earpiece to turn granted the headset has fallen off my desk a few times before that happened so I’m not gonna knock the headset for it.

This headset is great, the sound is crisp and I like the noise canceling in it. I wear glasses and it is extremely comfortable to wear. My only complaint is the mic, it is not super clear for the type of gaming I do. I ended up purchasing a different mic. But if your voice quality doesn't matter to you than the mic is just fine.

My ears hurt so bad whenever I wear a lot of different headphones brands but these ones NEVER hurt my ears! Usually I have to give up sound quality especially with gaming for comfort but with these ones, I finally get the best of both worlds!

Bought this item on sale as a replacement for my Logitech Pro X. While the mic quality is tiny bit worse, overall the comfort level is better and sound quality otherwise is on par. As for the RGB it's pretty basic and fine. However, if you don't care for the RGB, you may want to consider the cheaper Nova 1. Aside from what's been mentioned, I would recommend this to anyone who wants a solid workhorse headset.
