STEELSERIES INTRODUCES THE ARCTIS NOVA 7 – HEIR TO ONE OF THE BEST-SELLING GAMING HEADSETS OF ALL TIME

From the makers of Arctis, the most awarded audio line in gaming,  SteelSeries, the worldwide leader in gaming and esports peripherals, today introduces a new headset to rule the soundscapes and airwaves across the globe – the Arctis Nova 7 – the heir to one of the best-selling gaming headset of all time.

Through four years of innovative and meticulous engineering, SteelSeries set out to push boundaries, solve problems for a gaming lifestyle in today’s rapidly changing culture, and reinvent the world’s #1 premium gaming headset. Engineered with the Nova Acoustic System, featuring High Fidelity audio, supercharged by the Sonar Audio Software Suite, and delivering 360° Spatial Audio, the Nova 7 lets gamers hear the finite details that others don’t.

With wireless freedom and Simultaneous Audio, players can listen to two audio streams at the same time with 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, easily swapping between PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Switch with USB-C. Communications are key and the new ClearCast Gen 2’s AI-powered noise cancelation gives players crystal clear comms. The bidirectional mic is the same technology used by Formula 1 teams. When paired with Sonar Software, it silences background noise and distractions cutting out keyboard tapping and button-mashing from a gamer and their squad. Additionally, the mic has been reimagined with a unique design that blends seamlessly into the earcup when fully retracted for on the go.

In addition to the Arctis Nova 7, SteelSeries expands the Nova multiverse and future of gaming audio with the introduction of the Arctis Nova 3 and Nova 1 headsets. The people spoke and SteelSeries listened. Whether the pain points were related to poor sound quality and booming bass, inability to utilise a single headset across multiple platforms, or even fatigue from all-day use, the extended Arctis Nova family of headsets solves multiple problems for gamers. The brand took all this feedback and created the ultimate sound experience across an entirely new line of headsets specifically designed for a variety of different consumer needs and price points.

Elite performance comes standard with Arctis Nova 7, Nova 3, and Nova 1 headsets. Each headset in the extended Nova family is equipped with the Nova Acoustic System, which fuses hardware and software to raise the bar over the competition and provide gamers with a new superpower known as ‘Almighty Audio.’ The combination of custom-designed High Fidelity speaker drivers that offer unparalleled sound purity, plus immersive 360° Spatial Audio for an immersive soundscape, along with the Sonar Audio Software Suite, which features the first pro-grade parametric EQ for gamers and allows them to adjust every individual frequency, provides an unparalleled in-game advantage to players.

From the noob to the aspiring esports pro, from the budget conscience to those that invest or splurge on gear, from the non-discerning to the audiophile, gamers deserve products that exceed their needs and expectations, enhance their experience, and make them feel like a star. Players can choose from three options within the extended Nova lineup based on their style of play, budget, and personal preferences.
