SteelSeries Arctis Nova headset

SteelSeries is a prominent Danish manufacturer of gaming peripherals and accessories, including headsets, keyboards, mice, and gaming surfaces. The brand was originally founded in 2001 by Jacob Wolff-Petersen as Soft Trading in Denmark before changing its name to SteelSeries in 2007. The company is credited with pioneering the dedicated esports hardware market, particularly through its early partnerships with professional gaming teams.

In early 2022, SteelSeries was acquired by GN Store Nord, a prominent Danish enterprise specializing in hearing aids and headsets. This acquisition integrated SteelSeries into GN's extensive audio portfolio alongside brands like Jabra. While the brand is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, its manufacturing is primarily based in China to leverage global supply chain efficiencies. The Arctis Nova line, which includes the model shown, represents the brand's premium audio engineering, combining Danish design aesthetics with professional-grade gaming technology.
