SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3

The fit of the headphones.

With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

A long cable ensures more freedom of movement.

RGB lighting allows you to choose between millions of colors and customize the look of your PC components.

It can be folded into a more compact form.

The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.

The cable is designed to minimize tangling.

Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.

The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.

The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.

This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.

Surround sound provides a more immersive listening experience. True surround sound uses multiple audio drivers, whereas virtual surround sound is a software-based solution.

The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.

Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.

The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.

These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.

The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.

The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.

The microphone can be attached or detached if necessary.

The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.

It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

The battery can be recharged and used over again.

The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.

The connectivity type of the headset.

The systems that the headset is compatible with, according to the manufacturer.

Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.

The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.

Device supports fast Bluetooth pairing using NFC so it can communicate with other devices over Bluetooth. You can fastly pair devices without entering a code by simply holding one device next to the device with which it is to be paired.

There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.

Multipoint allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.

A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.

The device offers realistic experiences with deep bass sound for gamers.

There is a control panel on the cable, so you can easily operate the device without having to interact with it.

When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.

The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
