Wireless gaming peripheral sees 45 per cent price cut as manufacturer positions lightweight model for cross-platform use

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P wireless gaming headset is currently available at Woot for $59.99, representing a 45 per cent discount from its standard retail price of $109.99. The offer applies to the cyan-coloured variant of the device, positioning it as a budget-friendly option in a market where gaming peripherals often balance feature sets against weight and comfort.

Weighing 260 grams, the headset is marketed as a lightweight alternative designed to reduce strain during extended sessions. Key physical features include a stretchy headband strap intended to offset the device's mass and a removable boom microphone, allowing users to repurpose the unit for mobile communication when the audio component is not required.

Connectivity is handled through a dual-system approach. The device supports Bluetooth for calls and mobile device usage, alongside a compact low-latency USB-C dongle for 2.4GHz wireless audio transmission. This configuration allows the headset to function across a broad spectrum of platforms, including Windows and macOS computers, PlayStation consoles, Android and iOS mobile devices, and the Nintendo Switch.

Battery performance is advertised at up to 40 hours on a single charge. The unit supports fast charging via USB-C, with the manufacturer claiming that a 15-minute charge can provide up to nine hours of playtime. These specifications aim to address the common consumer need for reliable power management in wireless audio equipment.

Software integration is managed through the SteelSeries application, which provides over 200 game-specific equaliser profiles. These profiles are designed to enhance audio experiences by emphasising specific sound frequencies, such as footsteps in first-person shooters or ambient richness in cinematic titles. The deal was reported by The Verge on 18 August 2026.
