Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been using these great headphones for about a year now. The RGB LED are still bright and functional, the microphone is still clear, the audio is still crystal clear, the bass is awesome. Looking for your next set get these.

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.

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!

These headphones are amazing. Super easy to easy and store. Everything comes in crystal clear and the strap on the top of the head helps the headphones stay comfortably on your head.

The SteelSeries Arctis 5 is a solid mid-range wired gaming headset that excels in sound quality, comfort, and communication. If you’re mainly a PC gamer and don’t need wireless functionality, this is an excellent choice that punches above its weight. Perfect for gamers who want reliable performance and sleek design without breaking the bank.

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.

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.

Nice audio for gaming & long editing sessions very comfortable! Steel series on top !

Really comfortable and great sound for 53$ I paid with steel series website price match. If you don't realize it the headband extends were the ear cups are attached to make the headset bigger. I've seen a few reviews where people don't realize this and say the headsets too small. It's extremely comfortable in lightweight and sounds great. These are a clear upgrade from the arctis 1 they replace in the product line.

These headphones exceeded my expectations. Although they do not have noise cancelling, I dont find it necessary. The volume is more than enough. The sound is full and great for 360 spatial sounds. I use these for meetings as well. The retractable mic works great and makes these headphones awesome for gaming, music, and work. For the price. These are one of the best. The controls on the headset make these great for easy muting and volume control.

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.

Sound and comfortability is good. It matches my PC and the PC set up I have. Easy to install set up.

Good fit, quality & i love how weightless it feels

it’s good i like the audio quality and the way the muffs fit on your ears the band to support the headset it nicely made too but tbh this staticky sound started happening maybe a week ago when you move the cable a little bit but it’s nothing major

Still have these 2 yrs later & wow I love them! Super comfortable! Always worked. Cable is easier to replace, need be & looks brand new still, good material. Great Mic.

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.

I like these headsets they are very comfortable. I like the microphone that is retractable. It’s Very easy to use.

Awesome headset I use it for gaming it has never giving me a issue

Headphones are light and audio is clear. Microphone is very good quality also. I enjoy using these but the wire can sometimes be annoying because it’s a little short.

Sound Quality is good but after use for about a year quality wears off
