Thanks to the Arctis 3 Bluetooth, you can talk to your online pals via Skype, Discord or Nintendo's own shoddy app on your phone while still enjoying wired game audio for titles like Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This is especially a game changer for the Nintendo Switch, which currently requires you to use a separate mobile app to chat with your online friends. Thanks to its added Bluetooth functionality, the Arctis 3 has gone from a great gaming headset to a major part of my day-to-day routine.

I was able to pause and skip tracks with a few quick taps of the headset's Bluetooth button, which meant that I never had to pull my phone out.īetter yet, you can enjoy Bluetooth audio from your phone and wired game audio from your console at the same time, which I utilized to catch up on podcasts while playing Star Wars Battlefront II. The ability to use SteelSeries' headset as a wireless pair of headphones has simply made me want to take them out more, whether I'm riding the subway to work or blocking out the world at my desk.
