SteelSeries: A much-needed White Arctis Nova 5 headset series has arrived

All-white everything? Let’s get it. I’ve had to keep tight-lipped about this for a few weeks now and my goodness, is there ever any other time than a random Tuesday to completely lose your mind and embrace a full-fledged SteelSeries Attack The Culture takeover? The mighty launch of the White Arctis Nova 5 series of headsets have arrived for all your stylish and high-end quality audio goals.

SteelSeries launches the White Arctis Nova 5 headset series

It’s a massive celebration for all you gamers around the globe. SteelSeries always comes through with fire drops but how about a new launch ready to have you twinning with your PlayStation 5 Pro, new all-white Xbox Series X or even iPhone 16 Pro Max? Giddy up.

From the creator of the revolutionary Arctis Nova line of headsets, SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, introduces an all-new white version of the Arctis Nova 5 series of headsets. Launched earlier this year, the Arctis Nova 5 series and Nova 5 companion App quickly garnered numerous awards and established an all-new "affordable luxury" category in the gaming headset market. Offering gamers a sleek achromatic new colorway, along with the Nova series' reputation for exceptional audio quality and elegant design, plus the world’s first 100+ audio preset Companion App, the white Arctis Nova 5 series is the newest addition to the Nova franchise, which include the white Nova Pro series and white Nova 7 series headsets.

 For gamers wanting a stylish universal colorway of the Nova 5 series, the design and engineering teams set out to craft something new with three innovative goals in mind; create better audio for the games people play on Xbox and PlayStation; develop a wireless gaming headset that’s both premium and accessible; and allow gamers to play longer and harder. The result is the Arctis Nova 5, and the Nova 5 Companion App, the first of its kind app to give players access to over 100 audio presets at their fingertips, Quick Switch Wireless freedom with high-speed 2.4GHz or Bluetooth 5.3 at the tap of a button, an extraordinary 60+ Hour Battery Life, and a $129.99 price point. That’s “affordable luxury” at its best!

·       The Nova 5 Companion App – The revolutionary app features 100+ game-specific audio presets that have been meticulously crafted and custom-tailored to each game by audio engineers, esports Pros, and game developers. Gamers can change their audio presets on the fly in real-time and without leaving the game, providing a distinct competitive advantage. Hear what others don't with precisely honed audio profiles for top games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Minecraft, and more.   

·       Neodymium Magnetic Drivers – Gamers can hear everything with an ultra-detailed soundscape of crystal-clear highs, pinpoint mids, and deep bass. The custom-designed Neodymium Magnetic Drivers are engineered to ensure the perfect audio experience, whatever game or track they are playing.

·       Quick-Switch Wireless – Easily take calls while gaming, switching from high-speed 2.4GHz to Bluetooth 5.3 with a tap of a button. Mobile connections remain on standby when players are back in the action, so they can receive calls. Keep Fortnite EQs on the 2.4GHz bandwidth without affecting specific media profiles for Bluetooth audio. 

·       Cross-Platform Gaming – A compact USB-C dongle allows gamers to easily swap between all systems, supporting Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC, Meta Quest, handhelds, as well as phones and tablets that support USB-C.

·       ClearCast 2.X Mic – 2X the bandwidth, 2X the clarity. SteelSeries’ ClearCast microphone features a new high-bandwidth chipset supporting 32KHz/16Bit audio to keep comms crystal clean and clear. Gamers can supercharge vocals even further with Sonar AI-Powered Noise Cancellation on PC for the ultimate two-way noise reduction on comms. A unique design seamlessly blends the mic into the earcup when fully retracted for on-the-go.

·       60+ Hours of Wireless Gaming – A 60-hour battery life equates to a full charge lasting 8 hours each day for 7 days in a row. A USB-C fast charging delivers another 6 hours of charge in only 15 minutes. 

·       Sonar Audio Software Suite – the first pro-grade parametric EQ designed for gamers. Specifically designed to turbocharge any headset for gaming and provide a limitless ability to control sound across games, team chat, and the microphone, Sonar allows gamers to adjust every individual frequency and hear the sounds that matter the most.
