Headset Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro

The Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro is a wired, circumaural gaming headset designed for extended sessions and precise audio reproduction. Featuring Premium High Fidelity Drivers and a GameDAC Gen 2 with ESS Sabre Quad-DAC, it delivers Hi-Res Audio up to 96 kHz / 24‑bit and spatial 360° sound. The headset includes an AI noise‑cancelling, retractable bidirectional microphone and a multi-system hub that lets you connect and switch between two devices such as PC, Mac, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch.

Advantages

A multi-system hub supports two simultaneous connections and a 10-band EQ and chat-mix controls allow on-the-fly tuning.
