GREAT DEVICE AND FOR THE PICE YOU CANT FIND A BETTER DEAL.

Great birthday present, son was thrilled to be getting these!

Quality headset for a reasonable price. Recommend!

Working well. The microphone is flexible. No issues.

Constantly dropped connection so using it was a pain. Mic sounded great, and they were pretty comfortable.

[PROS] Fantastic Sound & Features: The audio with this headset has been pretty awesome. From environmental noise to subtle footsteps, the Arctis Nova has been able to capture and output sound with great precision. I've been very content so far with the specific audio presets for certain games also. Extreme Comfort: As an owner of prior products, SteelSeries didn't do anything out of the ordinary with the design. The Nova 3X has been comfy to wear even for long periods of time. Wide Range Compatibility: Being able to use this with every device I own is top tier. I used this headset specifically for my Xbox, and it performs well. It easily connects and delivers great quality without any disruption or noticeable latency. Quality Microphone: Despite the mid-range categorization of this product, the microphone punches well above its weight class. I have been pleasantly surprised by the crispiness of my voice, and how well others can hear me. This headset did a great job in making sure that my voice wasn't muffled or flat. Superb Battery: I haven't game for 40 hours straight, but I've gotten more than 15 hours without a worry or concern to charge back up. [CONS] Lack of Bells and Whistles: This is not the end all be all of headsets. It doesn't have everything you can imagine, but that's okay. Retractable mic, RGB, hard-wired connection, and simultaneous audio are all missing, but the headset still remains highly effective in all other categories. [CONCLUSION] The Arctis Nova 3X is just as competent as it is comfortable. The biggest drawback of this headset has nothing to do with its function. The only problem that I could see is that the headset is missing many of the bells and whistles of its more premium siblings. However, that is by design. The Arctis Nova 3X is a very enjoyable piece of equipment and I would recommend it.

When this headset works its great, the problem is its always at least 20 minutes of trying to get them to connect because 9/10 times the device is forgotten. Very inconvenient because the headset itself is nice but it does have a big issue.

I was looking for a wireless headset that wouldn't weigh me down during longer sessions and could handle both gaming and phone calls. The Arctis Nova 3X seemed like a good middle-ground option. These are some of the lightest headphones I’ve used. The adjustable band is simple to tweak and doesn’t shift once it’s set. Comfort is solid overall. I also like the foldable design, which makes them easier to pack in a bag if you're on the move. The sound quality is pretty good for the price. There’s a little less bass than I’d like, but dialogue and game audio come through clearly. The mic is detachable and works fine, though it doesn’t have any standout features. The companion app is helpful for setting EQ presets by game, and it can auto-load them when a game launches. The wireless performance is great. I used the USB-C dongle for 2.4GHz connection and it worked right out of the box. Bluetooth works well too, and I like that I can take calls on my phone while still being connected to my Xbox or PC. The call comes through, I tap the headset to answer, and once it ends the game audio resumes. Battery life is solid and charges up fast. I’d recommend the Arctis Nova 3X to anyone looking for a lightweight headset with solid wireless features and decent sound. It’s not going to compete with the top-tier headsets in bass or mic quality, but for everyday use and portability, it hits a nice balance between value and performance.

Sounds good when it connects. Have been frustrated! It just does not connect to my XBOX. Took it back.

The SteelSeries Arctics Nova 3x wireless gaming headset is a nice headset for an everyday gamer. The sound quality is good, and the MIC is removable is not wanted or needed. The headset can be connected either through Bluetooth or through the wireless receiver. The wireless receiver is perfect because it is nice and compact and does not get in the way of things and the risk of breaking the USB-C port or the wireless receiver is almost nonexistent. The fitment over the ears feels comfortable for a long time. Although your ears may need to breathe every once in a while, the sound quality is amazing. The set up can be a simple as plug and play and you will be ready to play for hours. Overall, very well-built headset and would be highly recommended for someone looking for a headset with a long-lasting battery life and a comfortable fitment. My only dislike but not a huge turn off is the fact that the cushion does get your ears very warm after a while and you may need to take them off to rest for a bit, but that is not a huge problem that i have decided to keep it with all stars. These headphones will make a great addition to gamers set up.

It recharges fast for 40 hours of use on a charge. It is 260 grams light, and has a comfort headband and multi-hinges for durability.

The box includes a windscreen for the boom microphone. Also included is a USB-A to USB-C dongle extension cable and an Info guide. It is available globally in 6 colors; the one I have is black. Some of the Nova 3X the features: Factory Presets for popular games such as CoD, FORTNITE, and 200 others . Factory audio presets in the Arctis Companion app allow hearing game sounds better. It works great! Fast Charging.15 minutes plugged into a charger equals up to 9 hours playback per SteelSeries. A full charge lasts up to 40 hours. I have yet to charge this headset after days of using it for gaming and for music and phone call use. Comfortable in use and lightweight. It weighs 260 grams (6/10th of a lb) and includes a stretch headband for comfort in use and many adjustment points. It also has a dual-hinge design to reduce stress points for durability. It is not heavy on my head and the multiple movements minimize many stress points to enhance durability. Utilizes Neodymium magnetic drivers. SteelSeries says they have developed custom-designed high-fidelity audio drivers to produce clear highs, pinpoint mids, and deep bass. Game sounds, voices and music sound great. USB-C Plug and Play functionality. This allows quick swapping among Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Switch, handhelds, phones or tablets with a multi-platform USB-C Dongle for the user who has several or all of those platforms. I used it on a PC, XBox and my Android phone easily on each of those platforms. The headphone requires using a Nova App for utilizing all of the audio features for game playing. There is also a Windows PC Store SteelSeries GG app for customizing the sound equalization and some other settings if desired. The headset sounds good out of the box, nonetheless. The headphone has a Quick-Switch button to instantly move to Bluetooth (say when a phone call is received) and using the switch again will go back to the 2.4Ghz gaming mode. One can only listen to either bluetooth or 2.4 Ghz streams, not both simultaneously. The microphone is a quick plug in and plug out for the left ear cup and is ClearCast per SS with 32Khz/16bit audio to sound clear and defined with a claimed 2 X bandwidth and 2 X clarity compared to other microphones. In use I know no one ever stated I was not clear both during gaming and on phone calls using these headphones. I used this headphone extensively and can state that in Bluetooth use the sound quality is very good both for music playback, phone calls, podcast streaming and general listening with both my Android phone, my XBox console, and my Windows gaming laptop via Bluetooth. In use for gaming, with the 2.4 Ghz WiFi USB dongle transceiver, the quality is very good. Other players heard me, since there was instant response by other gamers in the taunt and snipe mode we all engage in during game play. I fully charged the battery using a USB phone charger. Specs indicate that using a charger for only 15 minutes will produce 9 hours of use. I anticipate the claims of 40 hours of use on Bluetooth are realistic. Note that there is a stretch band directly below the top scalp headband that makes wearing the unit more comfortable. This stretch band is adjustable and removable and I assume washable with simple hand soap to remove any hair and scalp oils. It snaps back on easily. This is a feature of this brand and to me it works for comfort. The headphone is very comfortable to have on and is not overly heavy. The ear pads are comfortable for me as a grown adult and fully envelop my ears with their oval shape. There is a dual-hinge design for movement in many planes for durability. That is smart. Game play is active and quick. Note that there is a stretch band directly below the top scalp headband that makes wearing the unit more comfortable. This stretch band is adjustable and removable and washable with simple hand soap. It snaps back on easily. This is a feature of this brand and to me it works very well for comfort. I enjoyed using this headphone due to both performance and comfort while in use.

I picked up the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Wireless Gaming Headset mainly for its cross-platform promise, and I’ve got to say—it lives up to the hype. Right out of the box, the unboxing experience felt premium. The headset comes neatly packed with a soft-touch finish, a USB-C dongle, charging cable, and a 3.5mm audio cable. Everything about the packaging screamed sleek and intentional, nothing cheap or thrown together. Getting it set up was a breeze. I downloaded the SteelSeries GG app on both my PC and Android phone. The app instantly recognized the headset once I plugged in the dongle, and that’s when I realized just how many sound presets this thing offers. There are tons—game-specific modes, music presets, even voice-enhancing settings for chat-heavy sessions. The cool part is, you’re not stuck with cookie-cutter EQ settings. You can tweak and save your own, which I did for games like Call of Duty and Destiny 2. The app makes this all super intuitive, and switching profiles depending on what I’m playing or listening to has become second nature. As for sound quality, it’s impressive across the board. Explosions and gunfire in Call of Duty felt punchy and directional, footsteps in Fortnite were clear and gave me a legit edge, and the soundtrack in Destiny 2 had this cinematic richness that surprised me. On the music side, the bass is full but not overpowering, and mids and highs stay crisp. Whether I’m gaming or just streaming music on my phone, the headset holds up without missing a beat. Comfort-wise, they nailed it. I’ve worn these for sessions that easily stretched past four hours, and I never felt that pinch or heat you get with some other headsets. The headband has this flexible, floating design, and the ear cushions are soft enough that I forget I’m even wearing them after a while. The battery life’s been strong too. I’ve gone a couple of days on a single charge with mixed use—gaming on PC, watching content on my phone, and hopping into party chats. It definitely delivers on long sessions without needing a midday top-off. I love that I can bounce between platforms without any headaches. I’ve paired it with my Android phone, my PC, and even tried it out with a friend’s Xbox. It connected quickly every time, and I didn’t have to fumble with settings or connections. Just plug the dongle in, and it works. That kind of seamless experience makes a huge difference, especially when switching between gaming and mobile use. Overall, the Arctis Nova 3X surprised me in all the right ways. It’s a well-rounded headset that doesn’t feel locked into one system, and the sound tuning options through the app make it super versatile. It nails the essentials—great sound, great comfort, long battery—and throws in that extra polish with cross-platform ease. If you’re looking for a wireless headset that’ll cover gaming and everyday listening across your devices, this one’s worth checking out.
