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.
