Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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.

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.

Great sound for gaming, does not have noise cancelation which is the only downside if you dont want to hear your surroundings.

Overall good quality headphones. Audio itself is loud, clear, and crisp, and the microphone quality is extremely clear. I’d say my favorite part about the headphones is the LED ring on the outside of the headphones, makes the headset look really sleek in my opinion. As the price, I would not say these headphones are worth the $100 so dollars I paid, as with this price point I would honestly expect a wireless option and more comfortable patting for the headphones. None the less, the overall structural integrity of the headphones are sturdy and I see myself using these headphones for years to come!

Currently writing this review while using these headphones listening to some amazing music! The lights on the side are great too - looks great on video! Amazing sound - if you're looking for a new pair of headphones - you've found them!

Had them for about a year really comfortable and still sounds great

This headset is terrible. My previous headset died and I needed a replacement as my backup was packed from moving. My SteelSeries keyboard is good, so I figured I'd upgrade to a SteelSeries headset. Specs were reasonable for the price and it had OK reviews. WRONG. The $60 spent on this was not worth it. The issues: 1) It's wired through 2 separate cords. One cord is the USB to USB-C (PC plugin) and the second cord is either USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to audio pin connector. If anything happens to one cord, you have to replace or can't use the device. 2) No audio from one ear. Amazingly, the side the cords plugs into just (left)... doesn't output any audio. The right side works fine, but the left is completely dead. 3) The adjustable comfort-fit headstrap is literally child-sized (and no, my head isn't huge). Where most headsets will fit perfectly on the smallest size (pushed all the way in for sliders or the smallest band possible on models with the strap), I had to completely remove the band and it still doesn't feel right. Pros: 1) It's affordable (but seriously, put that cash towards something better - you deserve it) 2) It's lightweight (almost to the point of feeling cheap) 3) Sound quality was decent enough. On the side that worked, anyway. Unfortunately waited too long to actually test the product in the return window and SteelSeries support is terrible. How funny is it they actually have an automated support response for "Sound Working One Side Only"?

Amazing headphones sound quality is amazing very comfortable love the concealed microphone

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.

Super comfortable and great audio quality. The microphone echos a lot when not extended out, which kind of defeats the point of it being retractable in my opinion.

Headset is pretty decent for the price, good quality. The microphone is pretty good for the price, the main problem is the software for it, the software is trash.

Nice wired headset for the money. Build quality and sound are good. LED lighting is a nice touch.

The steel series is my favorite headset! It works great and the retractable make is an awesome feature. It doesn’t have to stay in a fixed location and can adjust it as needed. Sound quality is great. I like them so much I upgrade to the next best one with the wireless feature. It’s no wonder why pro esports gamers utilize steel series for the competitive scene

I have no qualms about this headset, it's light weight, sounds great and gets the job done. Love it.

Very comfy and clear audio best for games and such.

This is a solid headset for the price with precise sound, very comfortable ear cups and headband and flexibility to interchange connection cables to best suit PCs, game systems and other devices.

These are amazing headphones for the price! I needed a switch after I had gotten some low quality headphones to game with. I was a bit unsure if these would be the same due to the price but I was wrong! They are amazing! They are so comfortable and feel like they cost more than $100 (which they did not, of course).

The mic is decent and the fitment is alright as well

For price of $60, they are Solid BUY but if in same price, just get there ARCTIS PRIME headset for reasons below... Sound quality is great, especially if you drive this headset through 3.5mm to a computer Soundcard (i personally have the Sound blaster AE-7). Unfortunately RGB wont work tho. USB audio is fine, but a big noticeable drop off in volume & sound intensity. Cons: - The long term durability is questionable, certain hinges of headset make me warry will break in that area overtime. - Material of headset is easy to scratch & get finger print smudges etc Lastly, i despise SteelSeries blatant false marketing for calling most if not all there Nova Series headsets "High Fidelity". These are NOT high fidelity ( it has Speaker freq of 20-22000 hz) . Only there Nova Pro series , the Arctis Prime and my previous headset of there's Arctis Pro lineup, with ACTUAL speaker drivers that are 10-4000hz (an big noticeable clarity difference). Just because your Steelseries GG software can drive headsets with 24 bit/ 96hz audio format, dosent make them hi res....in my opinion.
