    Purchased a year ago for my Pre-teen. He used them everyday either on his phone or for gaming both PC and Consoles. Looks like ill be using the 2 year replacement here soon but it was well worth it

    Great audio quality, and comfort but I have a big head so the headset squeezes my head and when I am in a discord call the people on the other side can hear my game.

    I feel this is a good quality item for the price. This is a low mid grade headset that does the job. Would recommend to anyone on a budget.

    Super easy to use and good audio quality for a person like me who watches youtube videos and chats with friends. I love that the mic is detachable, but also has a mute switch, and the ear pieces have slim but soft padding so I can wear it for a long time without my ears getting smushed. They aren't noise-cancelling but everything is muffled suitably for me, at least. The mic is bendable and also has the ability to pick up my soft voice easily but also my cat yelling from across the room. It also comes with an aux cord extension for PC use which was a nice surprise, though the attached cord is by no means short.

    It’s actually pretty good, now I’m no sound expert but it sounds good feels good it’sa solid 10/10 for me, just be wary about the wire it has a tendency to curl up

    They work fine after many hours of use, not the most comfortable or durable feeling compared to higher end products

    Arctis 1's are good for 2022 gaming!

    These are fantastic as a wired console/pc gaming headset. Steel Series never fails to impress me. Don't be shy from purchasing these due to the price point. I'm more positive that buying the Arctis 1's are worth the bang for their buck. Most of the newer editions are more than likely priced a little higher for their wireless-ness, the added level of cushion/comfort, and extra trinkets like noise cancellation and so many other reasons. So you're not cheapening out with the 1's in any way or form :)

    This is my first steel series headset and I can say it's amazing. I would play cod and r6 and not be able to hear footsteps with my past headsets. But with the steel series I can tell if someone is creeping up on me in fps games. Two problems, the headset lasted 7 months before it gave out. And two if you have the volume to the max people will be able to hear what you are doing if you're watching a video, movie, or just playing a game. But other than that I'm definitely getting another steel series headset.

    Not too fancy, but perfect for a regular gamer (might not be great for someone that is very particular). Cancels out noise in the room and picks up the game action perfectly (used for C.O.D. primarily). Don’t need anything more than this for talking with friends while gaming and the price was great!

    I recently was in the market for a affordable pair of headphones after my sades headphones broke. I spent a lot of time researching and came across these and bought them. Definitely one of the best pair of headphones for its price. Along side dolby atoms which is something else you have to pay for it makes sound quality very good!
