SteelSeries release the Arctis Nova 4 headset for Xbox, PlayStation and PC

You only need to take a look at our reviews of previous SteelSeries gaming headsets to understand the draw of products from one of the world’s accessory leaders. But SteelSeries are always looking for more, to keep things fresh. It’s with that in which they release the Arctis Nova 4 to the world. 

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 4 promises to deliver the audio that any gamer requires, built for our gaming lifestyles, providing accessible and affordable wireless freedom along the way. 

A new multi-format headset

Available for Xbox, PlayStation and PC players, with various format-specific options rolling out, the Nova 4 takes the usual Nova Acoustic System found in the family of headsets and introduces a new wireless options along the way. Supercharged by the Sonar Audio Software Suite, complete with 360° Spatial Audio, think of this as a headset that is perfect for those living life on the go.

Untethered elite sound and performance is front and centre, you should also expect crystal clear comms, no matter whether it is gaming you are taking in, streaming, Discord chats or more. This is taken in by the Arctis Nova 4’s ClearCast Gen2 microphone  with AI Powered Noise Canceling, fully retractable, delivering crisp, clean communications in-game and online.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 4 also provides all-day comfort through the SteelSeries ComfortMAX system. Featuring rotating earcups, 4 points of adjustment and a lightweight 262g design, the Arctis Nova 4 can adapt to heads of all shapes and sizes without weighing them down.

And finally, audio delay should be a thing of the past. Quantum 2.0 High-Speed Wireless makes hearing footsteps or audio cues too late a thing of the past, whilst a USB-C dongle delivers lag-free gaming, communications, and content consumption when on the go or at home.

That dongle allows multiple devices to work, including PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox (Nova 4X only), Switch, and mobile.

A host of key features should sell this some more.
