Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] For gamers who like flashy RGB and fancy sound effects and stuff, get this. It's a decent affordable set that can be modified with steelseries controls. For me, I have to give it a 3 stars. It does the job, but kinda overkill for me. I would not buy this again, but I would not tell people to not buy it. Me personally, I don't have the steelseries app due to having switched to Linux. I just want wired headphones with 3.5 MM only and with some noise canceling and simple universal compatibility and less bells and whistles. I also just want the rawest uncompressed analogue audio, and this looks digital. Also, they're not the most comfortable for my head, but I wear glasses so that might play a part of it.

The best gaming headset on the market. Easy to swap from console to PC. Battery life is great and with two battery packs, you don’t run out. Sound quality is great, customizability is on point and comfort for long gaming sessions in unmatched. Owned for a couple years and no issues.

Audio was excellent, the quality is pretty solid. Plus side is that I wear glasses and they feel pretty comfortable while I’m wearing them. The software is easy to use and has some very nice eq settings and customization

An excellent quality gaming headset with retractable mic that works perfectly PS5

These were much higher quality than I thought they would be. I had purchased another headset for more money and these are much better. Very comfortable as well. I have not worn them for a long time yet, so don't have a review on that. Nice packaging as well.

This Head Set is super comfortable, SteelSeries really improved on the quality and the functionality from the previous Arctis 1. Great quality for the price.

The pad covering isn't a soft initially as the black pleather that flakes within 6 months, but it feels better during long gaming sessions as it breaths better. Solid headset with good sound.

The sound is great and very clear 3d audio words great and even on someone with a large head like me its very comfortable but the mic quality is a but touch and go out of the box but with some filtering comes through good

Very good headphones overall, the sound quality is good, they look good, they were not super expensive, and I like the ergonomics, however the volume slider sometimes causes the left earpiece to turn granted the headset has fallen off my desk a few times before that happened so I’m not gonna knock the headset for it.

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.

Feels good around my ears and sounds great. Get some

I was recently transitioned back into the office and wanted a quality USB wired headset. Hooked up the device through USB C (headphone to pc) and installed the SteelSeries software (wasnt necessary to use with PC). Sound is customizable, along with the lighting on the headset. Sound quality and mic quality are wonderful. The noise canceling isn't great but good enough for the distractions of the office. Music quality is top notch. Would buy again.

They are good and clear just wish they had a Bluetooth feature so i can switch for wired to wireless

These headphones have nice sound for the price. I was honestly surprised how good these were for how cheap they are.

The quality of the sound is great. The most I liked is they are so light.

I love this product, but the main issue I had with it is that one side of the speakers would give out from time to time, there was no way to really fix it because it is wired, not Bluetooth. It did have good sound quality for the price

This headset is excellent for gaming and for regular use. The USB-C cable is excellent to pair with my laptop and phone. It is very comfortable for long sessions. It has an adjustable volume knob, making it easier.

They feel amazing, really good audio, could be a bit louder but still amazing, great quality, overall 10/10 headset

I was traveling and needed new headphones and decided for these for the price. But they’re so amazing I decided to main these headphones for gaming. The retractable microphone is my favorite feature about this, it is an ease to use very simple and easy to use headphone. Build quality is also amazing, feel very sturdy and not cheap plastic. 100% recommend for budget and overall.

This product has great sound quality , very comfortable and stays on you ears and head just right
