I've been harping on about the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless headset since 2025, and for good reason. It remains a shining example of quality and value, as it carries the same great sound and impressive mic its mid-range counterparts are known for, but tacks on quality of life features from fast-charging to support for up to 200+ game audio presets, all in one cheaper, $109.99 package.

Its full MSRP is worth it regardless, but it's now down to $59.99 at Woot, and I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't imagining things. The wireless gaming headset has had its fair share of discounts, and it was even just $84.99 at Amazon's Woot over the holidays, but I've never seen it drop this low in price since it launched last June. You do have to be a fan of its bright Aqua colorway to want it, but it's a small price to pay for being able to grab such a fantastic headset for so little cash.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Wireless - Aqua | $109.99 $59.99 at WootSave $50 - The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless (like this 3P model) isn't immune to discounts, but this is the first time I've seen it drop below the $60 mark. For just $59.99 and a whopping $50 off its full price, you're getting one of the best value headsets as it packs in mighty-sounding 40mm Neodymium drivers, a ClearCast Gen 2. X detachable mic, the iconic comfortable lightweight 260g fit the Arctis line is known for, and more in one pair of cute Aqua-colored cups.Featured in: best Nintendo Switch 2 headset

Should you buy the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Wireless in 2026?

We're barely into 2026, and so the full splendour of what future gaming headsets have in store has yet to be shown, yet I can still confidently say that the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P is worth your time in 2026. The 'P' in this case stands for 'PlayStation', but this pair is compatible with the PS5, the Nintendo Switch 2, and even if your gaming PC if you have one. Xbox players will have to source out the Actis Nova 3X, but fortunately, it's also on sale at Amazon right now and down to $84.99 (Amazon) if you want to stick with the Aqua colorway.

Regardless of whether it's the 3P or 3X, this budget-friendly pair is my favorite that I reviewed last year, if you couldn't tell by the fact that it ended up as a key part of our GamesRadar+ Hardware Awards 2025 roundup. It carries the same 40mm Neodymium drivers as the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless and makes every game, from Marvel Rivals and Mario Kart Worlds, sound its absolute best. If you loved the 5 Wireless (and its 5P model), you'll love the 3P, but it goes a step further in the better direction. The retractable mic has been replaced with a detachable model, there's a new slimline dongle, and fast charging, which is the best addition of them all, and one that continues to be handy for my gaming needs this year.

The battery life of the 3P is a bit lacking as it can only last up to 30 hours via its 2.4GHz wireless connection. That would normally be a bit of a bummer if it weren't for the fact that you can conjure up an additional 9 hours of playtime with just a 15-minute charge. This has been a lifesaver during those moments where my friends disband to have a toilet and tea break on Discord, and it's one of the reasons why I go back to the headset between testing new pairs.

I've got the Lavender SKU as shown in the photos above, but if you aren't a fan of the pastel-colored cozy colorways, you can spend a little more. Both the White and Black versions are available for less than their $109.99 MSRPs at Amazon right now, but you'll have to stick to Woot if you want today's record low. Just be warned, if that $59.99 saving is alluring, you have five days left to make it yours, and I highly recommend that you do.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
