The best gaming headset on the market. Easy to swap from console to PC. Battery life is great and with two battery packs, you don’t run out. Sound quality is great, customizability is on point and comfort for long gaming sessions in unmatched. Owned for a couple years and no issues.

The headset itself is tight with you properly grip your head and stay in place, but loose with that it doesn't feel like it's pressing too firmly on your head. The sound quality is pretty good, with the bass coming through pretty rich for a headset under $70. The built in mute button and volume controls on the headset are great and easy to use, and the included headphones-microphone splitter cable adds about another 2 to 3 feet of cable if you need to plug it in to a far away jack.

my sons are serious gamers and this headset is the best hands down. the clarity and crispness of the sound is amazing. the weight of the headset is not too heavy and yes can be worn for a long time without bothering their heads. The mic is also great. it is retractable and great for travel. Others do not offer this in this way. Value is great also. No need to shop around this is the one you want and need

Good sound, and fairly comfortable. I especially like the inner band. Ear cups are just big enough to not cause discomfort over long sessions. Build quality is ok, it's all plastic, but sturdy enough for light to moderate use. Mic is lacking, but it's serviceable and what I would expect for the price.
Probably would have bought a comparatively priced pair of HyperX if it had been available at the time. In my experience the build and sound quality of HyperX products tends to be superior in many ways.

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.

I gave this headset a 4 star because there wasn’t a way for me to give it a 3.5 star, that being said on the box it said that this is the best gaming headset. I hadn’t heard anything bad about this brand everyone named this brand when I asked which headset would they recommend for gaming and 8 out of 10 people would say this one. It works really really good with my PS5 I mean you hear every single noise in the game as if you were the character in the game when you turn the noise follows you as a real person. Too bad I can’t say the same when I use it on my XBox series S. When I’m playing my games on my Xbox the sound is half the amount as when I’m playing on my PS5. Even though I have the volume all the way up it’s not the same sound quality. Still a very good headset closes out all noise from around you so you can only hear the game

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
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I actually very rarely use the Arctis Nova headsets for gaming, as the Novas have a fairly neutral sound profile with a high-treble cut to soften sibilants, which, while great for chatting over games, is also great for all types of content and makes them particularly ideal for Zoom meetings. The overall subdued look also means that they work for professional applications as well. Using the "Engine" software to boost the 3k range by 4db greatly flattens the sound profile; I have even used these to mix punk rock tracks.
Most importantly, the Arctis Nova headsets are supremely comfortable. I actually use the 3's because of their USB-C connection, but bought the 1's for my wife who literally does not game at all. She found it very difficult to find in-ear headphones that did not hurt her ears, and over-ear headphones tend to give her headaches. The lightweight frame, breathable cushions, deep cups, and stretchy "ski-band" head cushion all make these one of the most comfortable headsets either of us have ever worn.
Other reasons I love the Nova 1's:
1. The mic retracts neatly into the housing; my wife uses these exclusively as headphones and they work excellently for that purpose.
2. The cable is detachable from the ear cups, which means that a damaged cable can be replaced easily. You won't have replace the entire headset due to a damaged cable.
3. The onboard volume wheel and mic mute buttons are useful, particularly in online meetings.
Overall, for the price, the Arctis Novas make excellent all-around headphones and a great gaming or business headset. A great "do-it-all" solution for gamers and non-gamers alike.

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.

They are really good sounding headphones, the cords could have been a little longer, but they do sound good. The ear cups could a little more adjustable and softer, but for the price, they are great headphones. I haven’t used the microphone yet, and next time I’ll probably buy the better versions which look more comfortable.

I was traveling and needed new headphones and decided for these for the price. But they’re so amazing I decided to main these headphones for gaming. The retractable microphone is my favorite feature about this, it is an ease to use very simple and easy to use headphone. Build quality is also amazing, feel very sturdy and not cheap plastic. 100% recommend for budget and overall.

I accidentally broke my gaming headphones and bought this headphone. They are comfortable and the clarity in the ears is perfect. I recommend this product.
