They’re programmable with up to 16.8 million colors and a range of cool lighting effects via the SteelSeries GG software app.Īdmittedly, these features aren’t unique in budget headsets, but the Nova 3 does have a few small design touches that elevate it above rivals. Additionally, dazzling RGB lighting rings circle the outer cans. That’s not ideal if you have a large head or ears-otherwise the device should fit square on.Īs to styling, the Nova 3 is undoubtedly made to impress gamers-the middle of the outer earcups contain a soft scratch-proof material that prevents nicks and grazes, while simultaneously showing off SteelSeries’ iconic logos. I measured my review unit to be just 8 inches from top to bottom, and the cups were just 4 inches at their longest part.

RGB lights programmable to 16.8 million colors light up the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3’s earcups.Īdmittedly, some weight appears to be traded for a small size.
