Product details

The slim and lightweight design incorporates the same high-quality speaker driver and microphone technology as the famous and highly acclaimed Arctis 7. Control options on the ear make it easy to mute the microphone or quickly adjust the volume on the headset, while the detachable microphone allows conversion from gaming headset to headphones on the go.

With the proven SteelSeries 2.4 GHz wireless for lossless, ultra-low latency audio on PC and PS4, you can take the same game-ready wireless set with you using the compact USB C dongle for Switch or Android phones.

Includes the same high-performance speaker drivers as the Arctis 7, providing the familiar Arctis sound that reveals every detail.

The Discord certified microphone uses a bi-directional design that is also used by aircraft carrier crews for improved noise reduction.

The steel-reinforced headband is built for long life and easily adapts to all head sizes, yet is lightweight and robust.

Intuitive controls on the headset let you quickly adjust the volume, mute it, or turn the sound back on for the microphone.

Rechargeable lithium-ion battery with up to 20 hours of battery life allows you to play all day long.

Tweak your audio output to perfection with the SteelSeries drive software, which lets you customize EQ settings, microphone level, and ambient noise control.

Don't worry about possible lack of connectivity thanks to the ability to simply plug a 3.5mm cable into the Xbox controller and other devices with a 3.5mm connection.

Compatibility: PC: Wireless USB or USB-C, PlayStation 4: Wireless USB, Switch: Docked: Wireless via USB | Handheld: Wireless via USB-C | Switch Lite: Wireless via USB-C, Android: Wireless USB-C, Xbox: Connected to controller via 3.5mm cable.
