About the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1P
The Arctis Nova 1P (part number 61611) is the PlayStation version of SteelSeries’ Arctis Nova 1. It plugs straight into the DualSense controller’s 3.5mm jack and supports PS5 Tempest 3D Audio through 360° Spatial Audio, and the same cable also works with PC, Xbox, Switch and mobile devices. You get the 40mm Nova Acoustic System drivers, a fully retractable ClearCast Gen 2 mic and the 236 g ComfortMAX frame. The 1P box does not include the dual 3.5mm splitter cable that comes with the standard Nova 1, so a PC with separate mic and headphone jacks will need a splitter.
