SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Wireless Playstation Gaming Headset - White / 40mm Neodymium Drivers / 360° Spatial Audio / 38-Hour Battery Life / USB-C Dongle for Multi-Platform Use / Noise-Cancelling Mic / PS5/PS4, PC, Switch, Mobile, Chromebook / 61687

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P is a wireless gaming headset built around 40mm drivers and 360° Spatial Audio, so in-game sound arrives with a clear sense of direction and you can react to it faster. It runs up to 38 hours per charge, reaches PlayStation, PC, Switch, mobile and Chromebook through a USB-C dongle, and carries a noise-cancelling microphone in a clean white finish.

The SteelSeries mobile app puts sound tuning on your phone, so tailored profiles can be built and applied without opening desktop software. Controlling the headset from a mobile device matters most on a console or a handheld, where there is no PC utility available, and it means the same tuning follows the headset onto whatever you are playing.

Game-specific audio presets ship for titles including Call of Duty and Fortnite, lifting important sounds such as footsteps above the layers of gunfire and music that normally bury them. Loading the right preset takes a tap, so the positional advantage comes from tuning the mix rather than from turning the whole thing louder.

The Nova 3P holds different presets for each connection, so 2.4GHz wireless can carry a footstep-enhanced competitive profile while Bluetooth keeps a custom preset shaped for music and video on a phone. Switching connection switches the sound with it, and your preferred Bluetooth preset activates automatically rather than needing to be reloaded.

Ultra-fast charging puts up to 9 hours of wireless gaming back into the headset from just 15 minutes on the cable. That turnaround changes what a flat battery costs you: instead of ending the session it becomes a short break, because the headset is usable again in roughly the time it takes to load a game and warm up.

Neodymium magnetic drivers measuring 40mm sit in each earcup, the combination of size and magnet material used to reach high-resolution audio with a full soundstage. Larger drivers move more air and hold their composure when a scene gets busy, which is what keeps explosions, dialogue and positional cues separated rather than collapsing together.

The wireless adapter is ultra-compact and shaped in an L, which is a deliberate choice rather than a styling one: it turns the plug flat against the device so the USB ports beside it stay usable. On a console or a handheld where ports sit close together, that is the difference between one free socket and none.

Universal compatibility comes from the USB-C adapter, which connects instantly to PlayStation, PC, Nintendo Switch, handhelds and more with no software installation step in between. Plugging in and getting fast audio immediately is what makes the Nova 3P practical to move between devices rather than leaving it tied to one machine.

Cross-platform switching moves the headset between 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.3 instantly, and the preferred Bluetooth audio preset activates on its own as the connection changes. Taking a call on a phone mid-session becomes a single action, with the game connection waiting rather than needing to be paired again afterwards.

The microphone detaches from the headset and uses high-bandwidth 32KHz/16-bit technology, so voice comes through crisply on in-game chat rather than sounding compressed. Being able to remove the boom entirely turns the Nova 3P into an ordinary pair of headphones for a commute, which is where a fixed microphone gets in the way.

The headset weighs only 260g, which is light enough that headband pressure does not build into a distraction over a long evening. Mass is the specification that decides whether a headset is still comfortable in hour four, and keeping it low is why the Nova 3P sits easily on your head rather than announcing itself.

A tough dual-hinge design gives the earcups the movement they need to sit flat against different head shapes and to fold for transport without stressing a single joint. Hinges are where most headsets fail first, so building two into the frame is what supports long-lasting wear and flexible everyday handling.

Battery life reaches 38 hours, enough to play all day without reaching for a charger and enough to cover most of a week of evening sessions. Long runtime is what makes wireless practical rather than merely convenient, because charging becomes something you schedule instead of something that interrupts a match.

360° Spatial Audio makes it straightforward to tell where a sound is coming from in a game, which is the step between hearing something and knowing where it is. That placement lets you react faster to a flank or a reload behind cover, because the direction reaches you before the enemy does.

The noise-cancelling microphone filters the room out of your voice, so what your team hears stays clear even when the space around you is not quiet. That matters in a shared house or an open room, where an untreated mic sends every other sound in the environment straight into the party chat alongside you.

The Nova 3P comes in a white finish with a clean design that fits alongside most setups instead of demanding a colour scheme built around it. For a desk that already runs white peripherals or a console in a living room, the finish is what keeps the headset from looking like a piece of borrowed gaming hardware.

This white Arctis Nova 3P is listed under SteelSeries part number 61687, which is the code that identifies this colourway and dongle configuration. Between gaming, watching videos and talking with friends, it is built to keep everything sounding consistent on one headset rather than switching between two pairs during the day.
