SteelSeries’ Arctis 3 Bluetooth gaming headset attempts to be a solution for basically every possible gaming situation. By using both analog and Bluetooth, the headset can effectively handle the craziest setups including multiplayer on the Nintendo Switch.
The Arctis 3 Bluetooth is compatible with any device that uses the 3.5mm jack, including modern consoles. And, it can connect over Bluetooth 4.1 to smartphones and laptops.
A major part of the Arctis 3 Bluetooth’s value proposition is the ability to play both Bluetooth and analog audio at the same time, simplifying voice communications while playing online Nintendo Switch games, or to play music from your phone while gaming on a console. Plus, it can double as an on-the-go Bluetooth device.
With a price of $129 (£134, AU$239), the headset is a full $50 more expensive than the non-Bluetooth Arctis 3. It’s price also puts it in closer competition with our beloved $149 (£159.99, AU$259) HyperX Cloud Revolver S and SteelSeries’ own similarly designed, 2.4GHz wireless big brother, the $149 (£159.99, AU$259) Arctis 7.
