    Best value, by far!

    The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 wired headset delivers outstanding value without compromising on comfort or sound quality. You’re getting a lightweight, breathable build that stays put during marathon sessions, along with clear, punchy audio that’s great for gaming, music, and calls. The signature bi-directional microphone is crisp, and the 3.5 mm connection works seamlessly across PC, console, and mobile—no adapters, no fuss. For the price, it’s a smart pick that offers a premium feel without the premium cost.

    Value, Yet Quality

    The microphone is pretty good and the cushioning is comfortable on my head and easy to adjust. I like that the design isn't too "gamery" so you could realistically wear this headset anywhere without getting weird looks. Definitely would recommend this if you're looking for a good value headset.

    Amazing Gaming Headset!

    The Sound Quality of this headset is very loud to my liking and very crispy with a solid amount of bass to it. This Budget Headset is perfect for gaming and watching Shows/Movies! Its very comfortable on the head and doesn't press down on your head. The Mic itself also does the job with good clear crisp communication.
