SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro 61528 Xbox Wired Headset console gaming accessory

Xbox Wired Gaming Headset

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro 61528 is a wired headset built for Xbox console gaming. It uses the Nova Pro Acoustic System with premium high-fidelity drivers to deliver detailed in-game sound. Sonar software adds a pro-grade parametric EQ so you can highlight footsteps, reloads and voice cues. The AI-powered ClearCast Gen 2 microphone retracts fully when not in use and suppresses background noise for clear chat.

GameDAC Gen 2 Hi-Res Audio Hub

The included GameDAC Gen 2 raises the signal to 96 kHz / 24-bit resolution and is Hi-Res Audio certified. Its ESS Sabre Quad-DAC design cuts distortion for a 78 percent purer signal compared with the previous DAC generation. The unit acts as a hub with Multi-System Connect, letting you switch between PC, Mac, PlayStation or Switch with a single button press. This makes sustained sessions across platforms practical without re-cabling.

Multi-System Connect Interface Limits

The DAC’s Multi-System Connect feature supports USB audio on PC and Mac and analog output on PlayStation and Switch, but the headset itself is wired for Xbox controller connection. You cannot use the headset wirelessly, and the DAC requires a free USB port on each platform you intend to switch between. Buyers who want a purely wireless Xbox headset or a Bluetooth mobile connection will need a different product.
