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.

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.

I bought some headphones for my son’s birthday gift. He was really thrilled. It enabled him to talk and play with friends on his XBOX that he hadn’t been able to talk with in a long time.

The microphone is pretty good and the cushioning is comfortable on my head and easy to adjust.
I like that the design isn't too "gamery" so you could realistically wear this headset anywhere without getting weird looks.
Definitely would recommend this if you're looking for a good value headset.

The Sound Quality of this headset is very loud to my liking and very crispy with a solid amount of bass to it. This Budget Headset is perfect for gaming and watching Shows/Movies! Its very comfortable on the head and doesn't press down on your head. The Mic itself also does the job with good clear crisp communication.

Extension cable and issue for head set speaker

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The left headset phone would not work; I had to push the speaker wire in the extension plug in a small distance, and then both headset speakers worked. That would be alright, except the connection is loose. I taped it to keep it in that position and then taped it to my desk, and it is working very nicely. Are there no instructions for the extension speaker cable? Is there any special position?

These headphones exceeded my expectations. Although they do not have noise cancelling, I dont find it necessary. The volume is more than enough. The sound is full and great for 360 spatial sounds. I use these for meetings as well. The retractable mic works great and makes these headphones awesome for gaming, music, and work. For the price. These are one of the best. The controls on the headset make these great for easy muting and volume control.

Really comfortable and great sound for 53$ I paid with steel series website price match. If you don't realize it the headband extends were the ear cups are attached to make the headset bigger. I've seen a few reviews where people don't realize this and say the headsets too small. It's extremely comfortable in lightweight and sounds great.
These are a clear upgrade from the arctis 1 they replace in the product line.

Amazing set of headphones shaping into your head perfectly. Cushions on your ears are super safe and comfortable. Microphone adds cool touch with muted retractable tool. Headphones feel very sensitive and easy to break. Hardly mishandled my set and left ear is hanging off the fitting wire. Great product, scared to purchase again though.

very good quality for a good price! they also have Sonar GG PC software for free so you can create custom EQs. The gaming spatial sound isn't top tier but if you learn how to utilize sonar, its a quick fix.

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.
