Almighty Audio with Nova Acoustic System

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 is a wired over-ear gaming headset built around the Nova Acoustic System with High Fidelity Drivers. A Pro-grade Parametric EQ lets you customise the sound profile for gaming, music or media. It is designed for players who want detailed audio across every platform.

3.5 mm universal connectivity

A single 3.5 mm jack provides plug-and-play compatibility with PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and mobile devices. No extra adapters or software are required to switch between systems. This makes it the right choice for gamers who move between multiple consoles and a computer.

Lightweight comfort and noise-cancelling mic

The ComfortMAX System uses height-adjusting rotating earcups with AirWeave memory cushions and a stretchy band to stay comfortable during long sessions. The ClearCast Gen 2 bidirectional microphone suppresses background noise by up to 25dB and retracts fully into the earcup when not needed. On-board controls handle volume and mute instantly.

Questions about this item

How does the 360 degree spatial audio perform when the headset is plugged into a PS5?

It is fully compatible with Tempest 3D Audio, so the console renders immersive surround sound that lets you hear footsteps, reloads and voice cues from every direction.

What does the 3.5 mm connection limit on platforms like Xbox or Switch?

The analog jack carries stereo audio and mic input only; advanced features such as parametric EQ or spatial processing depend on the host device rather than the cable itself.

Will the ComfortMAX system fit a larger head without extra parts?

Height-adjustable rotating earcups and a stretchy band let the headset expand to suit a wide range of head sizes straight out of the box.
