How to Get Better Audio in Games
Take your audio to the next level.

Sound is like the one thing you don't focus on until something makes you realize how vital it is. This is that moment.
Fiddling with audio settings on your games just isn't enough. There's only so far that Windows PC or console audio settings like on PlayStation 5 can take you.
Whether you play on console or PC, you can have better audio, with just the right combination of hardware and software. It's easier than you think.
All you need is an Arctis Nova 3P/3X Wireless.
The Arctis Nova Sound Quality

Here's the secret. Within Arctis Nova line lie the special Neodymium Magnetic Drivers. These custom-designed drivers produce a super-detailed soundscape for your ears. All the high sounds crystal clear, the mids are great, but the bass sounds deep.
And the Arctis Nova 3P/3X comes with those too. So rest assured, that your purchase will improve the audio quality of the game if you haven't already been using an Arctis Nova gaming headset.
At the end of the day, gaming headset quality matters a great deal when it comes to improving gaming audio. You'll notice how much more you're enjoying the breathtaking soundtrack and the vivid explosions with a better gaming headset.
Better Audio Software

Now I know what you're thinking. "But I can't install software on console! How will I get this on my PS5 or Xbox?"
No need to install anything. It's all done with a handy Arctis Companion App, which links up with your Arctis Nova 3P/3X.
You link up, select a preset appropriate for your game, and that's it. The headset uses parametric EQ to customize your audio on a deeper level. The presets we offer on the app are pre-made, most often created by the audio developers from the very same studios that made your game.
Ever wanted to fish out footsteps sounds better in Apex Legends or Call of Duty: Warzone? Or highlight important audio cues in Fortnite? Or maybe accentuate the explosions in GTA V and immerse even deeper?
It's all too easy with the Arctis Companion App. And you can do it on the PC too with Sonar Software, for free, and apply even more useful settings, like powerful AI noise cancellation.
Improved Comms

Hearing is just one part of getting improved audio. Talking is the other.
One big advantage of the Arctis Nova 3P/3X Wireless is the new, improved, ClearCast 2.X microphone. With 16KHz/32bit technology, it has 2x the bandwidth of other microphones. It also comes with a pop filter. Playing solo? It completely retracts, for a sleek, comfortable look and feel.
Sound clearer and better to your teammates, making sure important information comes through. Secure those wins. And as mentioned above, a plethora of useful settings, especially AI-powered noise cancellation, work like magic, cutting out the background noise.
