Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought these for my Lady to game with and they are totally awesome! Clear sound with great bass! Mic is better quality than other more expensive brands. Works like a charm!

Fit is great and sound quality even better! Great for a backup or everyday pair

Really good quality sounds like I'm in the game. The padding on the headphones don't weigh too much so it doesn't hurt my head to much the wire is placed weird but it doesn't bother me that much overall good headset for it's price

Best wired headset on the market I feel the sound quality is amazing

The sound quality of the head phone are great. The sound quality is equivalent to Sony and SkullCandy headphones. In my own opinion, which is NOT a fact, I prefer skullcandy. HOWEVER, when you turn the headphones in, when you fold them in...they WILL break and I was gentle. I don't like the mechanism bc after so much use the headphones will break. the Headphones are also great for audio recording. Awesome for vocalists and voice over work.

I have owned products from another big name gaming component company exclusively for the last 14 years and finally decided to branch out and try something new. I went with SteelSeries because I recognize the brand name, heard good things about them and their pricing is great. I picked up the Arctis Nova 1 Headset and two SteelSeries keyboards, one for myself and one for my husband about a week ago. I set up my headset two days ago and straight out of the box, I could only hear out of one ear. I disconnected and reconnected the cord at all parts (three connections, three pieces - PC to another cord and then that cord plugs into the headset). I was then able to get sound out of both ears but within 5 mins or so, it cut out and I was back to sound on only one side. The only way to fix this was to unplug the middle cord piece and then replug it back in. I would have sound for 5-10 mins and then it would cut out and I had to do the same thing again. It was like this the entire time I tried it, up until about an hour ago when I returned it for a replacement. I understand that with electronics you will sometimes get duds. The thing with SteelSeries is that my husband set up his keyboard two days ago as well and the Windows key wouldn't work! Mine works fine but his didn't. Having 2/3 products purchased come to us with defects is not a good ratio. We did the exchange and things seem to be working well for us now and I do like the sound quality and feel of the head set so I will keep it and see how things go but I would be lying if I didn't say I was worried about the quality.

The USB dongle is plug-and-play on my Neon (Ubuntu derivative) installation, and appears as Arctis Nova 3 in the audio device settings. Good sound quality, much more durable than my previous headset. Please note that on Linux, you still can't change the LED color, but if you're wearing them, you won't see the light anyway

Made from high quality materials while still maintaining a comfortable all around feel. This headset is the most versatile headset I've ever had wit the ability to just swap the cable to suit whatever your needs may be. Over all a very good all around headset!

Top notch the sound is incredible. Especially when I can change the mode and hear everything around me and the game I'm playing. Pretty cool

great headset. sound quality is crisp although the retractable microphone is very delicate and bends easily. overall great headset.

The headset has a comfortable and snug fit. Everything works as intended with the headset audio and mic quality being good enough for the price tag. Overall I’d say it’s a solid pick for anyone looking for average priced headphones.

Good comfort in the supports, good noise cancelation and sound quality

Good quality no complaints. Comfortable to wear for hours of gaming. Cool lighting effects as well.

Comfortable Earpieces. Retractable mic is a convenient feature. Clear sound quality in chats and from game audio. This is probably a top 3 headset for me, especially at this price point. I feel anything more expensive really starts to show diminishing returns in comparison to this headset at this price.

Very great quality and I love the adjustable band. The only concern I have is how short the cord is. If I could I would go back and just buy the wireless. Unless you want to be right in front of the tv.

This was my first steel series headset, and I was a bit worried it would be trash since it’s only 50$. But this headset surprised me it’s really good!, it sounds really boomy making explosions sound better, the mic is pretty good for a cheap gaming headset, and it is really comfy. So I do recommend!.

Was looking for a good headset for work and to game. Overall, works great and I love the option to be able to mute at a click of a button. Sometimes, not sure if its a cable issue or what, but the audio goes in and out. Or it cuts off on the other side and people can't hear me. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, a simple "unplug and plug it back in" always fixes the issue.

I picked this headset up last minute due to my headset dying. I am very impressed with the quality at this price point. Audio is crisp, mic doesn't pick up background noise, and the cloth covers and head band spacer are comfortable, even after multi-hour gaming sessions. Excellent value. I am very happy with my purchase.

Love the comfort of it and the sound is amazing! 10/10 recommended

cool head set that i use for working from home. very comfortable. i love the mute button on it and the noise cancelation. would recommend for any gamer or someone who needs a head set to work from home.
