Customer Ratings & Reviews

These headphones are great for short use. I originally got them for gaming, but since my head is a bit larger than average, they feel a little tight. The sound quality is actually pretty good, particularly for the price. Overall they are fairly comfortable, I just wish they were a bit wider. Honestly, for the price, these are some of the best headphones you can get.

great product, sound quality is great. Microphone works great as well.

I am able to calibrate my own sound, and the smart sound option makes it outstanding for a more immersive experience.

Great headset but fits small not for people with giant heads with the band but the mic is great and all the software is really cool

Sometimes the lights go off but it does the work, no recommended for gaming, better brand and sound quality , I use it just for music and movies and it good for that

they fit comfortably even with glasses on, amazing sound quality and depth perception, build quality is very good, the mic quality is average but very worth the price

The noise canceling is amazing, i wish the front mic picked up more sound but overall a great set of headphones!

The most comfortable headset I have purchased from Best Buy so far and for the price you really can’t get any better. Great sound quality, comfort, and quality all around.

It was good sound is fine doesn’t hurt ears and mic is good

Amazing quality, steelseries have been on the top in peripherals for years and they are not showings

Great Audio for the Price; clear mids and decent bass response make it ideal for gaming and casual listening. Retractable Microphone are handy for switching between gaming and everyday use. Limited Features: No active noise cancellation or surround sound.

Quality of the headset is great but the only issue I have is that there is no longer wire as an option

I find this headset both comfortable and clear, and I appreciate that it allows me to communicate effectively without needing a microphone extension.

This replaces an Arctis 5. So far so good. I think I miss the Arctis suspension system, but it's still very comfortable, so far. The sound seems comparable, which is really good.

Sound is great and fits comfortably. My son uses it on all his platforms. Other players can hear very clearly.

Very comfortable and works great. I like to have the TV on in the background and these actually gate that sound so my friends don't hear everything happening in my room lol

This headset is like no other! First off, the retractable mic is amazing. If you dont want it when listening to a game or gaming online, it becomes out of sight, out of mind! With the mic retracted, your pals can still hear you great. But to hear you alazing, just pull the mic out. The mic is easily adjustable and easy to manipulate. The headset itself is so comfortable. The breathable cushions allow me to game fir hours and not overheat my ears. Very comfortable with my industrial piercing. The deep bads and the wife range that the speakers inside give, allow you to head everything. The ball hitting the glove jn MLB, the best lightsaber ignition in Jedi Survivor, or even those important footsteps you need hear in MW2. You can hear people anywhere you need and these headphones saved my life in MW2 too many times. The headsets adjustable volume wheel is so easy to use and it is right next to the mute button so you can quickly adjust both mid game. It has both a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm thT can be used for any remote/console and even a dual 3.5 mm so it can be used on PC as well. Very loghtweight on yop of everything. So if you arenlooking dor the best bang for your buck and have headphones that are as good as $300 ones, GET THESE!

Solid headphones quality sound sturdy mic great overall fit and adjustable to your liking

Sound is good but build quality could be better in my opinion

I actually very rarely use the Arctis Nova headsets for gaming, as the Novas have a fairly neutral sound profile with a high-treble cut to soften sibilants, which, while great for chatting over games, is also great for all types of content and makes them particularly ideal for Zoom meetings. The overall subdued look also means that they work for professional applications as well. Using the "Engine" software to boost the 3k range by 4db greatly flattens the sound profile; I have even used these to mix punk rock tracks. Most importantly, the Arctis Nova headsets are supremely comfortable. I actually use the 3's because of their USB-C connection, but bought the 1's for my wife who literally does not game at all. She found it very difficult to find in-ear headphones that did not hurt her ears, and over-ear headphones tend to give her headaches. The lightweight frame, breathable cushions, deep cups, and stretchy "ski-band" head cushion all make these one of the most comfortable headsets either of us have ever worn. Other reasons I love the Nova 1's: 1. The mic retracts neatly into the housing; my wife uses these exclusively as headphones and they work excellently for that purpose. 2. The cable is detachable from the ear cups, which means that a damaged cable can be replaced easily. You won't have replace the entire headset due to a damaged cable. 3. The onboard volume wheel and mic mute buttons are useful, particularly in online meetings. Overall, for the price, the Arctis Novas make excellent all-around headphones and a great gaming or business headset. A great "do-it-all" solution for gamers and non-gamers alike.
