Multi-System Wireless Headset

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless Gaming Headset in Black connects to Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Switch and mobile devices. It uses 2.4 GHz wireless for low-latency gaming and Bluetooth 5.3 for calls or media. The Quick-Switch button toggles between both connections instantly. It is built for players who want one headset across every platform.

60-Hour Battery with Fast Charge

The internal battery delivers up to 60 hours of use on a single charge. A 15-minute USB-C top-up adds roughly 6 hours of playtime. This replaces headsets that need nightly charging or lack quick-charge support. The jump is worth it for anyone who plays long sessions and cannot pause to recharge.

Bluetooth 5.3 Companion App

The Arctis Nova 5 Companion App provides over 100 game-specific audio presets for titles such as GTA V, FIFA and Call of Duty. Preset selection and EQ adjustments require the app and a Bluetooth link to a phone. Without a compatible smartphone the presets cannot be loaded or customised.
