SteelSeries announces new Arctis 3 Bluetooth headset for simultaneous audio

SteelSeries is introducing a new Arctis gaming headset known as the Arctis 3 Bluetooth. It allows users to hear audio from both Bluetooth sources and wired connections at the same time.

Switch owners in particular might be very interested in its functionality. The Arctis 3 Bluetooth lets gamers connect to their phones via Bluetooth to use the Nintendo Switch Online chat mobile app, while using the wired connection to hear game audio from their Switch unit. This is the first headset with this type of compatibility for Nintendo’s console.

Here’s a rundown of the headset itself:

The Arctis 3 Bluetooth features SteelSeries’ low-distortion speakers to deliver incredible sound while gaming on PC, portable console and across mobile devices. Featuring the best microphone in gaming, the SteelSeries ClearCast mic is a retractable bi-directional system that delivers clear voice communication while acoustically eliminating all background and surrounding noise. The athletics-inspired AirWeave performance fabric ear cushions and exclusive ski goggle headband provide extreme and long-lasting comfort.

Intuitive SteelSeries Engine software allows for personalized audio settings, with an innovative, detachable and interchange cable system and a built-in share jack for multi-player listening to make Arctis 3 Bluetooth the best all-platform headset available.

The Arctis 3 Bluetooth is available now for $129.99.
