SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Drops to $79 in Multi-Platform Sale
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P wireless headset, a top pick for gaming, is currently discounted to $79 in white, with other colors also reduced. It works across PC, consoles, phones, and the Nintendo Switch, offering about 35 hours of battery life and clear microphone quality. The main caveat is a minor issue with the mic pop cover, but overall it remains a strong value at the sale price.
The Arctis Nova 3P’s sale price of $79 for the white variant undercuts its typical $90–$110 range, matching the lowest seen at Woot for the aqua color—though that version carries a shorter three-month warranty. The headset’s multi-platform compatibility, including wireless use with PC and consoles and wired or wireless with phones and Switch, makes it a flexible option for mixed-device households. Its 35-hour battery life and comfortable, lightweight build are highlighted as key strengths, while the detachable mic pop cover is noted as a minor annoyance. The reviewer also mentions an optional app with game-specific presets, though they never used it themselves.
This discount could nudge casual and budget-conscious gamers toward a higher-quality headset, potentially raising expectations for audio clarity and comfort in the mid-range market. It may also encourage cross-platform play by lowering the cost of a device that works across consoles, PCs, and handhelds. However, the minor mic cover issue and device-switching quirks suggest buyers should weigh convenience against savings, and the shorter warranty on the cheapest color option could affect long-term value for some.
