    Solid headset

    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.

    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 Gaming and Music Headphones

    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!
