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.

great value for money
It's high quality sound, only thing I feel is that it squeezes a bit too hard on your head. Not sounds proof, so you can hear other people talking around you. I'm using it on a PC that has a Linux operating system and everything works fine. I like the the aux cable is detachable.

Headphone Success!
I bought some headphones for my son’s birthday gift. He was really thrilled. It enabled him to talk and play with friends on his XBOX that he hadn’t been able to talk with in a long time.
