SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless (2024)

SteelSeries' multi-system wireless headset offers low-latency 2.4GHz audio through a compact USB-C dongle plus Bluetooth 5.3, with Quick-Switch letting you jump between the two, and rates a 60-hour battery with 15-minute fast charging. There is no 3.5mm analog jack, so the headset's only physical cable port is the USB-C connector on the right earcup, used for charging. It ships with both a USB-C to USB-A charge cable and a dongle extension cable.

Notes & Compatibility

Wireless-only headset. Uses an included USB-C 2.4GHz dongle plus Bluetooth 5.3 (both wireless links, not modeled as ports). No 3.5mm analog input. The only physical port is the USB-C charging jack on the right earcup. Ships with a USB-C to USB-A charge cable and a dongle extension cable. The 2.4GHz dongle is itself USB-C, so it plugs straight into a phone, Switch, handheld or USB-C laptop; the included extension cable (USB-C socket to USB-A plug) covers USB-A-only PCs and consoles. SteelSeries lists PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Switch and mobile, with no Xbox (that is the Nova 5X). The earcup USB-C only charges the headset: there is no wired USB audio.
