Many gaming headphones include extra features, but often the cost is their discomfort and excessive weight. A lightweight and affordable alternative that connects to multiple platforms is available on Woot. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P in cyan colour has a 45 per cent discount, dropping from its regular price of 109.99 dollars to 59.99 dollars.
This model, like most SteelSeries headphones, features an elastic band on the headband to compensate for its weight, plus a removable boom microphone that makes them comfortable to carry. Although they sound good out of the box, the SteelSeries application offers more than 200 game-specific equaliser profiles that enhance the sound experience, emphasising footstep sounds in shooting games or adding richness to music in cinematic games.
This version is compatible with Windows and macOS computers, PlayStation consoles, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices. They include Bluetooth connection for calls and mobile use, plus a compact low-latency USB-C dongle for wireless connection at 2.4 gigahertz. The manufacturer announces a battery life of up to 40 hours on a single charge, and rapid charging of up to nine hours of gaming in just 15 minutes via USB-C.
