Sounds good as well as priced good, bought for daughter and she loves it

Really good headset no issues or Complaints and sounds good

I bought it and it works well with PlayStation 5 And its price is very reasonable.

Steelseries never disappoints, if you want a cheap wired noise canceling headset with a decent mic for all platforms, then this ones a decent pic compared to other wired headsets.

Super great headset for gaming. I usually use it for ps5 but also great for pc and xbox

Great headphones, may need cleaning every week but amazing quality, I like to have bass while listening to music and it is amazing, microphone is 10/10, when not needed I can just slide it back into its slot, I love how customizable it is with colors through the PC app.

I’ve had this headset for about 2 years and it broke after I took it off of my head regularly. If I buy something for that price I expect it to actually last for a long time. If you want a product that is actually worth the money, look for something else.

Good product. Got it for Christmas. Been using it for about a month now.

Im so happy with my new headsets from BestBuy!!!!!

[Employee of bestbuy] Steel Series make the best gaming headsets. Other just don’t compare to Steel Series

I bought these headsets for christmas, its been 17 days and they just broke, i am really disappointed becuase i really liked the headset, now the left speaker hangs from a cable.

cheap plastic design. broke from a small 3 foot drop

Did not work, had to return to manufacturer because it was past the 15day return window.

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!

These headset are much better than I actually thought and for 42 dollars, you actually get a ton of sound quality for the money. You can hear how clean and crisp the sound come out with these and they are comfy to wear for long periods of time too thanks to the strap on the top of the head. If you want the best sound quality, you will want to get the steelseries GG app set up because without it, for some reason the sound quality wont come out. So download the steelseries GG app and set it up. Only thing I dont like, is the plug in cables are using an 2 way audio plug instead of a straight forward usb or usbc plug.

I don't use these for gaming, rather for meetings. These are comfortable, great-sounding headphones for the money. I like the retracting mic and detachable cord, but the cord is annoyingly short, so you might have to get an extension ore replacement cord. The product description states that it uses "active noise cancelling" but that's misleading because in the fine print on the box, it only describes that the microphone is "noise-cancelling", whatever that is supposed to actually mean. In real-world usage it's fine and I am pretty happy with the purchase.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 Wired Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, and PS4 is an excellent choice for gamers seeking quality performance at an affordable price. It stands out for its exceptional comfort and lightweight design, featuring an adjustable ski-band and soft ear cushions that make long gaming sessions enjoyable. Despite being mostly plastic, the build feels sturdy and more premium than expected in its price range. Sound quality is one of the Nova 1’s strongest features, offering a warm and balanced profile with solid bass and clear mids that make in-game effects, dialogue, and music sound impressive. The retractable boom microphone also performs well, delivering clear voice transmission for both gaming and streaming. While the treble could be slightly more defined, and noise isolation is limited in loud environments, these are minor drawbacks considering its overall performance. The wired connection ensures low latency, and users appreciate the simplicity of plug-and-play functionality across multiple platforms.

This was purchased to replace a 5-7 year old headset that was purchased at Best Buy, which was one of Hyper's mid-range Cloud series from that era. The only gripe, is that the 3.5mm audio cable is way too short and either a hand or arm periodically gets in the way and the audio cable is dislodged from the front audio jack. Otherwise, for the price it's a fine choice TBH. Plus, the ear cuffs are not covered with a finish that deteriorates as it's only foam.

I’ve owned it for about a month and a half now and i have no complaints. They’re super comfortable and they fit my head perfectly, and you can adjust the size and the band. The audio quality is amazing, I can hear everything very clearly. Lastly the microphone itself sounds nice too.

Love this headset. I wear glasses and this is the only headset ive ever bought where it doesnt squash my glasses against my head which gets painful after long use and I have to adjust my glasses, for me alot of the other headsets that I wore like, turtle beach, hyper X, Asus, all squashed my glasses against my head and some made the pain worse quicker where I wouldnt play my game for very long because of the irritation. This headset I can play all day long and it doesnt squash my glasses against my head. The sound quality is also very good, the mic will pick up background noise but you can adjust that to where it will no long pick up back ground noise. RGB can live with or without, made it purple for my favorite color, I hardly turn it on because I cannot see the lights anyway. Would recommend to anyone who wears glasses or without glasses. They are compfy.
