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

The SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 1 Wired Gaming Headset for PC - Black is good for the price. Its even better than some $100+ headphones. Would recommend!

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.

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

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.

I purchased these for my 9yr old grandson. I was worried they would be too big but they fit perfect. He lives them.

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.

Just bought these headphones for the second time because on my own fault of breaking them but reordered again because they are really good, really loud and comfy. Good pair of headphones for the price!

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.

Recommend them so much, I bought them twice. Really nice headset for a budget. Had my original pair for over 2 years. Only got the new pair cus my friend needed some, and haven’t looked back from that decision
