According to our gaming headset expert
Adjust your audio settings to your lilking and get the most out of your favorite games with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Lavender. 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.

My last two headsets have been SteelSeries from the Arctis series, and that will probably stay that way for a while. What an incredibly good design! I absolutely recommend this headset.
SteelSeries is unsurpassed in headset design, in my opinion. The adjustable headband and ear cushions make wearing them a true luxury—except when it's 35 degrees outside, when it gets quite warm. The comfort allows you to game for extended periods without any discomfort, and the battery life doesn't get in the way of your gaming session.
The headset's sound quality helps you fully immerse yourself in your game (or music, or TV show), although the low bass could use some improvement. For the price, there's certainly nothing to complain about. You can easily connect the headset to your PlayStation or PC by plugging the dongle into the USB-C port, or setting the headset to Bluetooth mode (by briefly pressing the power button) and connecting via Bluetooth. For convenience, I use the dongle, although the elongated design does hide another USB port on my laptop.
All in all, I'm extremely happy with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P and definitely recommend it. I hope the next headset in the Arctis lineup revisits the bass and the dongle design, but this one will definitely last a few more years!

Overall, I'm happy with this headset. There's room for improvement, in my opinion. The most important aspect is the sound quality. Even with the app's settings, I find it difficult to get the sound perfectly fine. I've been gaming for years, so that might be a factor. This headset is fine for beginners, but for the avid gamer, I'd recommend investing a bit more in a more expensive headset. This headset is very easy to use, with plug and play functionality, so you can get started right away. The settings are easy to adjust via the headset and the app. Furthermore, it's comfortable, even for hours of gaming. In short, it's a great entry-level model, but if you want a true gaming experience with an emphasis on sound, I'd look elsewhere.
