Headset Steelseries Arctis Nova 1P

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1P is a wired gaming headset that delivers immersive, high-fidelity audio in a lightweight design. Equipped with the Nova Acoustic System and custom High-Fidelity Drivers, it reproduces clear highs and deep bass while offering 360° Spatial Audio for accurate positional awareness. Built with a ComfortMAX system, AirWeave memory foam and a retractable noise-cancelling mic, the headset is compatible with any device using a 3.5 mm jack and includes onboard controls for volume and mute.

Advantages

At 236 g it remains ultra-light for long sessions, while the ComfortMAX suspension and fully rotating earcups enhance comfort and portability. The ClearCast Gen 2 noise-cancelling microphone reduces background noise and can be fully retracted into the earcup. Universal 3.5 mm connectivity ensures broad cross-platform compatibility.
