As the first and only gaming headset to connect both wired and through Bluetooth simultaneously, the upgraded Arctis 3 Bluetooth is the best gaming headset for Nintendo Switch Online.

SteelSeries, the global leader in gaming peripherals, announces the availability of the upgraded Arctis 3 Bluetooth, widely regarded as the best gaming headset for the Nintendo Switch. The award-winning headset now features updates based on user feedback, a new price and is the best headset to work with the newly launched Nintendo Switch Online service. The Arctis 3 Bluetooth allows gamers to easily chat by connecting simultaneously to the Nintendo Switch via the 3.5mm wired connection and the Nintendo Switch Online phone app via wireless Bluetooth audio.

The newest version of the Arctis 3 Bluetooth features many of the same upgrades seen in the 2019 editions of the award-winning Arctis line. The new headsets feature a variety of improvements stemming from user feedback, including bolstered memory foam in the ear cushions, a simplified cable system, and extended bass response. The Arctis 3 Bluetooth also includes all the best features of the original line such as the Discord-certified ClearCast noise canceling microphone, the exclusive ski goggle suspension headband system and Airweave athletics-inspired performance fabric ear cushions.

The Arctis 3 Bluetooth was designed for superior sound, comfort and style across all gaming platforms, including PC, PlayStation, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, virtual reality, and mobile.
