The SteelSeries Arcits Nova 5 headset gets a new paint job - and it's a beaut
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 wireless gaming headset is getting a new lick of paint, and boy does it look good.
Following in the footsteps of the recently revealed variant of the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless in white, the Nova 5 is getting a chic all-white colorway.
It's a refreshing departure from the many wireless gaming headsets that come in 'just black'. Plus, Nova Booster Packs can be used to further customize and augment this new design.
It comes at a perfect time, too — and SteelSeries knows this — as the white aesthetic will be a perfect match for a new PS5 Pro, white all-digital 2TB Xbox Series X, or new iPhone 16 series phones. Combining any of these devices with an all-white Nova 5 would be a dreamy aesthetic combination, but also one that would perform brilliantly, such is the Nova 5's quality.
The new white design is also positioned to make the Nova 5 more of a lifestyle product too — though the black design also wouldn't look too out of place as a pair of commute headphones in my opinion.
The Nova 5 is positioned in what SteelSeries calls «affordable luxury» territory offering a bunch of premium features in a headset that's priced at only just over the $100 / £100 mark. It's a bit of marketing speak really, but there's some truth in it as the headset offers superb audio quality, robust battery life of up to 60 hours, excellent integration with a companion app, and wonderful cross-platform compatibility.
I really loved the Arctis Nova 5 when I reviewed it earlier this year. I called it a «truly amazing wireless gaming headset — whatever platform you play on and for whatever games you play. Offering superb versatility and compatibility, a useful Companion App with dozens of presets, a 60-hour battery life, and SteelSeries’ trademark brilliance in audio, design, and build, the Nova 5 is all the gaming headset you’ll ever need.
