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.

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.

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.

Bought this for my son and he seems to enjoy it. It seems comfy and is light. Can't say anything on the sound quality. The reason for the loss of stars is because the screws that connect the ear cup to headband keep falling out, making the headphone fall apart! Questionable build quality.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend

Honestly great headset for the price. Got the wired one because I didn’t want to drop a lot of money for another headset since I have an Xbox and that costed me 200. So I wanted something for PS5 but didn’t want to drop a lot. This was the perfect choice yes it wired but if you can get past that the headset is amazing.

I was really in shocked when I put on the headphones and I heard the sound that came out of the speakers from the headphones. It was amazing. I would recommend everyone to grab a pair of these headphones. They are awesome. I bought it for my DJ set up I think it was worth it.

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.
