SteelSeries Introduces The White Arctis Nova 5 Series of Headsets

CHICAGO – September 17, 2024 – From the creator of the revolutionary Arctis Nova line of headsets, SteelSeries.com, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, introduces an all-new white version of the Arctis Nova 5 series of headsets. Launched earlier this year, the Arctis Nova 5 series and Nova 5 companion App quickly garnered numerous awards and established an all-new "affordable luxury" category in the gaming headset market. Offering gamers a sleek achromatic new colorway, along with the Nova series' reputation for exceptional audio quality and elegant design, plus the world’s first 100+ audio preset Companion App, the white Arctis Nova 5 series is the newest addition to the Nova franchise, which include the white Nova Pro series and white Nova 7 series headsets.

For gamers wanting a stylish universal colorway of the Nova 5 series, the design and engineering teams set out to craft something new with three innovative goals in mind; create better audio for the games people play on Xbox and PlayStation; develop a wireless gaming headset that’s both premium and accessible; and allow gamers to play longer and harder. The result is the Arctis Nova 5 , and the Nova 5 Companion App , the first of its kind app to give players access to over 100 audio presets at their fingertips, Quick Switch Wireless freedom with high-speed 2.4GHz or Bluetooth 5.3 at the tap of a button, an extraordinary 60+ Hour Battery Life , and a $129.99 price point. That’s “affordable luxury ” at its best!
