NOISE-CANCELLING MICROPHONE

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro features a fully retractable ClearCast Gen2 microphone that uses the same two-way microphone design used by Formula 1 teams. So you get crystal clear, natural sound with seamless noise cancellation. And when the microphone isn't needed, it retracts seamlessly into the earpiece.

As AI-powered noise cancelling software purifies your sound, stand out with crystal clear comms.

The broadcast-quality bidirectional microphone reduces noise by 25dB on any platform and blends seamlessly into the earcup when fully retracted.

The mic works in tandem with Sonar Software's AI algorithms* to silence background noise, cutting out keyboard tapping and button-mashing.   *for Windows 10/11
