SteelSeries is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a promotion that includes a complimentary gaming peripheral with the purchase of its Arctis Nova Pro Omni wireless gaming headset. The deal, available for a limited time, allows customers to choose between an Apex keyboard, an Aerox wireless mouse, or a QcK mousepad at no additional cost when buying the headset for $399.99. The promotion also includes free shipping on the entire order, with the value of the free item potentially reaching up to $110.
To qualify for the offer, both the headset and the selected free peripheral must be added to the same order. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni, released in May, is the successor to the Arctis Nova Pro and represents SteelSeries' highest-end headset outside of the Arctis Elite line. It retains popular features from its predecessor, such as high-quality sound, comfort for extended wear, a hot-swappable battery system, active noise cancellation, and a base station with a GameDAC, OLED display, and physical volume control. The headset also features a durable construction with a flexible steel core headband.
The Arctis Nova Pro Omni introduces significant upgrades, notably its "OmniPlay" cross-compatibility. This allows the headset to work seamlessly with PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices without requiring model-specific purchases. It can connect to up to four devices simultaneously through two USB inputs, Bluetooth, and line-in, an increase from the two sources supported by its predecessor. Enhancements to the GameDAC include support for the LC3+ codec, enabling 96kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio processing, and mobile app integration.
Reviewing the headset, Michael Higham of IGN described the Arctis Nova Pro Omni as a strong contender in the premium gaming headset market, noting that while the $400 price point is substantial, the value proposition relative to the competition makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a high-end option.
For those looking to maximize the value of the anniversary sale, SteelSeries recommends the Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 gaming mouse. This ultralight mouse weighs just 68 grams and features a perforated shell, mechanical switches rated for 80 million clicks, and an AQUABARRIER hydrophobic coating for durability. It offers dual wireless connectivity via a 2.4GHz dongle or Bluetooth. The mouse is equipped with a TrueMove sensor capable of 26,000 DPI, 400 IPS speed, and 40G acceleration, paired with 4K wireless polling for low latency performance.
