SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3

Bass has been tuned to sound just perfect ; Noise-canceling mic mutes most of your ambient sounds

Treble isn’t as good as the bass ; Mids lack space ; There isn’t an option to go wireless

The Arctis Nova 3 lacks treble and doesn’t offer a wireless connection. However, for its extremely economical price, its attractive body, comfortable fit, great low end, detailed sound imaging, and brilliant noise-canceling mic are more than enough...

Simply put, if you’re willing to spend $180 on a SteelSeries headset, the Arctis Nova 7 gets my recommendation. And if not, you can’t go wrong with the Arctis Nova 3.

Lightweight, comfortable design ; Great sound and microphone quality (even better with SteelSeries Sonar support) ; Easily-accessed controls on the headset ; RGB lighting ; Compatibility (USB-C, USB-A, 3.5mm)

Feels hollow/cheap ; The RGB is there but doesn’t look exciting

Don’t let the budget-friendly headset fool you into thinking that it’s not worthy to be use d competitively
