Multi-System Wired Headset
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1P is a wired gaming headset built for players who switch between PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, PC and mobile devices. It connects through a single 3.5 mm jack and weighs 280 grams. The Nova Acoustic System uses high-fidelity drivers with a 36 ohm impedance and supports 360 degree spatial audio, including Tempest 3D Audio on PS5 and Microsoft Spatial Sound on Xbox. A bidirectional ClearCast Gen 2 microphone reduces background noise by up to 25 dB and retracts into the earcup.
Check Your Device Port
Verify that your controller, console or PC has a 3.5 mm combination audio jack for both game sound and microphone input. The headset draws power and signal entirely through this analogue connection, so no USB port or battery is required. On-board controls provide volume adjustment and mute toggles directly on the earcups. The ComfortMAX system offers height-adjustable, rotating earcups with AirWeave memory cushions and a stretchy headband for a secure fit during long sessions.
For Cross-Platform Gamers
This headset suits players who want one lightweight wired headset for every platform with a 3.5 mm port and who value parametric EQ customisation via Sonar software. Buyers who need wireless freedom or a dedicated USB DAC for higher digital audio resolution should look at other models. The retractable microphone and 10-band parametric EQ make it a strong choice for competitive communication without extra software licences.

Questions about this item
Does the box include anything besides the headset itself?
The package contains only the Arctis Nova 1P headset; no extra cables, adapters or carry case are supplied.
There is only one model listed — how do I know it fits my platform?
The single 3.5 mm version works with PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, PC and mobile devices without needing a separate SKU.
The spec sheet shows 36 Ω impedance — what does that mean for everyday use?
At 36 Ω the headset is easy to drive from a controller or phone jack, so you get full volume without an external amp.
