The Package

Compared to the Arctis Nova Pro and Nova Pro Wireless, the box that the Nova 3 comes in feels less luxurious and sturdy, but it still gets the job done. It depicts the headset, its key features, and technical specifications and even lists the contents so you know what to expect inside before opening it.


The box claims that SteelSeries is the most winning gaming brand in esports. We'll have to take that claim at face value, as there's no way to verify it.


Inside the box, you'll find the headset itself, a 1.2-meter USB-C to USB-C cable, a 1.5-meter USB-C to USB Type-A extension cable, a 1.2-meter USB-C to 3.5-mm analog cable, a printed product information guide, and some stickers. Missing compared to the Arctis Nova Pro is the microphone pop filter, carrying pouch, and, most notably, the separate external USB sound card, which is, in fact, the biggest point of differentiation between the Nova 3 and the significantly more expensive Nova Pro.
