Best Gaming Headset for Fortnite
Here's why the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless is your next essential piece of gear.
Every advantage counts when playing Fortnite. Step up your game with better audio and hit them where it hurts.
Fortnite is a highly competitive environment. Your skills are up to par, you play and practice often, but something is not clicking, and you're not getting the dub as often as you want.
The key could lie in your audio and gaming headset. Especially if it's been a while since you upgraded. Better audio in Fortnite particularly serves to accomplish two primary goals: better enjoyment and better performance.
You'd be surprised how much more enjoyment you can get out of Fortnite with better audio, especially if you're already a regular player. Hearing the crispy detail of all the hits and feedback of the weapons is a big part of the dopamine hits we get.
But when it comes to performance, how can audio help you out? With a SteelSeries headset like the Arctis Nova 3P/3X Wireless, you can!
Audio Tailored for Fortnite
You can't really tinker with Fortnite audio that much, other than the basics. But the Arctis Nova 3P/3X Wireless (whichever one you choose works on either platform) is the key here.
With a handy Arctis Companion App (Android)/iOS, whether you play Fortnite on console or mobile, you can use the Fortnite audio preset. This is audio tuned at a parametric EQ level, affecting the specific ranges of sounds you hear at various frequencies.
With just a simple tap on the app, you can have audio tuned specifically for Fortnite that highlights enemy footsteps and drink sounds. Yep, no more getting caught off-guard as they sneak up on you. Or catch them instead mid-drink. Easy win.
Hearing consumables and footsteps will give you an advantage in Fortnite. This preset is freely available to be setup with any headset on PC, however, with Arctis Nova 3P/3X Wireless (either platform works) you can use this preset on console with a couple of touches on the app. Just select the Fortnite preset and it's applied. It's that easy.
Enhanced 360° Spatial Audio
That's not all when it comes to the audio story. Using the powerful, custom-designed Neodymium Magnetic Drivers, it's not only superior audio quality (found across the entire Arctis Nova line), but it's also full compatibility with 360° Spatial Audio. Whether you're playing Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch 2, PC, or PlayStation (with Tempest 3D Audio), or Xbox (Microsoft Spatial Sound), Arctis Nova 3P/3X Wireless will work with it.
It's more than sound quality; it's feeling like you're right in the center of the action as you can feel the directionality of audio. Identify the directions of incoming events much more easily and determine which way you should look. That's essential in Fortnite, so that you don't get caught off-guard.
Superior Comfort and Battery Life
When you make time for Fortnite with your buddies, you're gonna play for quite a bit. Whether that's two hours or until you get the first dub, comfort matters. With the Arctis Nova 3P/3X Wireless, expect two things: ultra-lightweight design and total adjustability.
Weighing just 260g (about half a pound!), this headset is ideal for Fortnite. Doesn't matter if you're older, younger, slimmer, bigger, some people just don't want to wear something heavy around their ears for an extended period of time. With this headset, it's not an issue at all.
We call it the ComfortMAX system, but really, when it comes to adjusting your headset, it might as well be "total freedom". The earcups extend, bend outwards, and rotate, allowing you to easily find the best fit around your noggin. The centerpiece is a stretchy, comfortable headband that relieves pressure on your head, making it an even easier wear for those matches.
Arctis Nova 3 Wireless also features one of our best batteries yet. USB-C Fast Charge gets you 9 hours within just 15 minutes, making it easy to drop in and drop out when you need to. Those who forget to charge their headsets won't be in trouble now when their squad needs them.
Plus, you've got up to 40 hours of usage now, so you can really get some good sessions in before needing to recharge.
Just the Gaming Headset for Fortnite
Arctis Nova 3P/3X Wireless is the best gaming headset you can use for Fortnite. It will provide you with the best audio tuned specifically for the game, unlike any other headset, while being incredibly light-weight and comfortable to use.
Also note that it's available in beautiful new colors: White, Aqua, and Lavender, and that's in addition to classic Black.
If you want to get better at Fortnite, this is the audio advantage and quality you need.
