SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 1 Wired Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, and PS4 - Black

Doesn't blow out of the water, just has good sound quality, is very comfortable, light, has a nice, durable build, and mic works very well. Nothing special, but very good for the money. Stores nicely also.

These are exceptional comapred to other brands I have owened. I know the RGB lighting is not a big deal but certainly adds a nice touch espically when paired with the Steel Series / Sonar mixer which I highlt recommend for tuning and setting the equalizer. These are very immersive and really put you in the game. I can hear foot steps in FPS and details I normally miss when using desktop speakers alone. I also tested these with some music and am very impressed with the range. The lows are clean and don't get muddy and the highs are clear without being peircing. I also like that these comes with cable extensions for aux and usb-c along with a long usb-c (female) to a usb-a (male). Lastly, these are quite comfortable and fit over my ears and don't mash them against my head which can get painful. I've worn them for 2+ hours at a time without removing them with no issues or ear fatigue. I like these over the Nova 1 due to the slightly better frequency range and the RGB lights where a nice touch. Definitely recommend!

The SteelSeries Arctis 3 offers great comfort, clear audio, and a sleek design, making it a solid choice for gamers. The retractable ClearCast mic delivers good voice clarity, while the lightweight build ensures long gaming sessions stay comfortable. Though it lacks premium features like wireless connectivity, its strong performance and affordability make it a great value.

I’ve had these headphones since I originally purchased it and they sound amazing still, feels amazing and most importantly no tearing.
