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 Black. 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 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.

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!

I bought a wired HyperX Cloud 2 about five or six years ago. Its sound was just as good as this 3x from 2025. The bass in the HyperX was much better, but with the 3x, I occasionally hear excessive vibration (the speaker can't handle it anymore).
Build quality is far from premium. The buttons on the headphones feel cheap and fragile. While the HyperX came in a nice case, this one came in a cardboard box.
All in all, I'll keep these headphones and see how long they last, but next time I'll definitely go for a different brand.
