    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.

    Headphones are light and audio is clear. Microphone is very good quality also. I enjoy using these but the wire can sometimes be annoying because it’s a little short.

    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.

    I’ve owned it for about a month and a half now and i have no complaints. They’re super comfortable and they fit my head perfectly, and you can adjust the size and the band. The audio quality is amazing, I can hear everything very clearly. Lastly the microphone itself sounds nice too.

    These headphones are some of the most comfortable and outside noise canceling I've ever owned! Lightweight yet super great sound whether you're listening to music or engaged in an online battle on your PS5! I really love these headphones. The only problem I encountered was the swivel design on the earpieces. They have very small swivel space and unfortunately I broke one side while removing them one day. But Best Buy's awesome return plan allowed me to exchange them for the exact same set! I would definitely recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a solid and inexpensive gaming headset!

    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.
