Customer Ratings & Reviews

These headset are much better than I actually thought and for 42 dollars, you actually get a ton of sound quality for the money. You can hear how clean and crisp the sound come out with these and they are comfy to wear for long periods of time too thanks to the strap on the top of the head. If you want the best sound quality, you will want to get the steelseries GG app set up because without it, for some reason the sound quality wont come out. So download the steelseries GG app and set it up. Only thing I dont like, is the plug in cables are using an 2 way audio plug instead of a straight forward usb or usbc plug.

This was purchased to replace a 5-7 year old headset that was purchased at Best Buy, which was one of Hyper's mid-range Cloud series from that era. The only gripe, is that the 3.5mm audio cable is way too short and either a hand or arm periodically gets in the way and the audio cable is dislodged from the front audio jack. Otherwise, for the price it's a fine choice TBH. Plus, the ear cuffs are not covered with a finish that deteriorates as it's only foam.

This Head Set is super comfortable, SteelSeries really improved on the quality and the functionality from the previous Arctis 1. Great quality for the price.

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.

These are a little heavier then expected but very comfortable. I where the set for at least eight hours every weekday. I grew tired of replacing my Plantronics (Poly) due to extremely poor quality plastic that would snap every Eight months. The noise canceling feature is much better then expected. I am hopeful the plastic will last well over a year.

Fit around the ears is good and the band inside is actually adjustable or if you like you can take it off, game sounds are great and I have to lift them off just to hear my hubby talking to me lol

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.

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).

Fantastic headphones for the price sound quality is good and they don’t hurt your ears after a while of use.

The headset itself? Great. The cord is decently long, the sound quality is great, and the mic is really clear. The proprietary software you need inorder to use the headset? Terrible. It does not save all of your settings when you power off your pc so i have to double check my settings every single time i join a party or do anything on my computer when i want to use the headset

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

This is the best pair of headphones that I have bought in this price range. It isn't supposed to be noise cancelling, but it might as well be. I live in a college dorm room with 2 other dudes, and we have people in the room more often than not. These headphones block out most of the ambient noise when there is audio playing.

I use this headset with my PS5 and it works great. The sound is clear and makes games more enjoyable. It’s comfortable to wear, even for long gaming sessions. For the price, this headset is a good choice and easy to use.

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

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.

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.

This was a spectacular headset for the price up until a few days ago a screw fell out and upon screwing it back in, the microphone no longer works. Great while it lasted.

The most comfortable headset I have purchased from Best Buy so far and for the price you really can’t get any better. Great sound quality, comfort, and quality all around.

I find this headset both comfortable and clear, and I appreciate that it allows me to communicate effectively without needing a microphone extension.

This headset is like no other! First off, the retractable mic is amazing. If you dont want it when listening to a game or gaming online, it becomes out of sight, out of mind! With the mic retracted, your pals can still hear you great. But to hear you alazing, just pull the mic out. The mic is easily adjustable and easy to manipulate. The headset itself is so comfortable. The breathable cushions allow me to game fir hours and not overheat my ears. Very comfortable with my industrial piercing. The deep bads and the wife range that the speakers inside give, allow you to head everything. The ball hitting the glove jn MLB, the best lightsaber ignition in Jedi Survivor, or even those important footsteps you need hear in MW2. You can hear people anywhere you need and these headphones saved my life in MW2 too many times. The headsets adjustable volume wheel is so easy to use and it is right next to the mute button so you can quickly adjust both mid game. It has both a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm thT can be used for any remote/console and even a dual 3.5 mm so it can be used on PC as well. Very loghtweight on yop of everything. So if you arenlooking dor the best bang for your buck and have headphones that are as good as $300 ones, GET THESE!
