Customer Ratings & Reviews

fits very comfortably and ergonomically on my head. the auxillary cord is sturdy and reliable. I've used them on my ps5 connected to my controller, and the cord looks brand new after months of steady use. the sound has amazing depth and directional tracking. the mic is a little flat on the receiving end, but there are much worse. its crisp, comfortable, and very affordable. i would absolutely purchase again!!

I can't get the mic to work unless I have the Sonar software on, which makes it hard to switch to my actual microphone and sucks up my CPU usage. The max volume isn't as loud as I'd expect from a $100 headset. The volume wheel is WAY too loose and sensitive. I constantly have to readjust the volume whenever my hair touches the wheel. However, the actual audio quality is better and than other headsets I've tried in this price range. It's easy to hear and locate quiet footsteps, which is why I'm keeping it.

Really good sound and performance. Love the look and light

Really good quality could at least added a Bluetooth

Not the most comfortable but everything else is great

Good headphones ... sound quality is great, Very Comfortable around the ears too.

Love these headsets I wouldn’t recommend anything else

Great gaming headset, perfect for those late nights playing fortnite.

Great sound. Indo like the mic position and how it stays out of the way when not in use

Great headset I use on my ps5 and comes with type c cables for my ps5

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.

Crystal clear, teammates can hear me perfectly. Other gamers soundnlike they are in the room with me

this was a perfect headset i used it on my pc and i can hear great and its spacial

My Discord group immediately noticed a big quality improvement as soon as I started talking the first time I used this headset. Sound quality is pretty good, microphone tests shows quality is pretty high on that as well. Easy to use. Only thing I would like to see different is a braided cord out of the box. Definitely worth the price I paid ($70)

For the price I’m getting a high quality microphone that suits everything I need

Great for the price I got it for - sound cancelling and comfort is surprisingly good, which I didn’t expect, given how inexpensive it was. Sound comes through excellently, and folks on discord say I no longer sound like a monster (using old Logitech mic before). I have only had it for a month so I can’t say how good wear and tear will be, but the strap design on the top helps me to know it’s going to last longer than the flakey pleather runner ups I’ve used in the past. It’s secure and of a good material. Only reason I give it a 4/5 is that I wish it was a swing boom mic, because sometimes I’m fumbling trying to align the mic just-so, to store it away into its slot.

Great headset with a microphone that can be put inside the headset.

I use this when I play my guitar over PC. I think it's pretty good, and especially for the price. No complaints!

Alright, let's keep this short and sweet. The Arctis Nova 1 Wired Gaming Headset by SteelSeries? Absolute winner, mate. Looks sleek, sound quality is mind-blowing - it's like you're right there in the game. Those tiny in-game sounds? Picks them up perfectly. Got some loud mates on Discord? No problem, the mic is spot on, your voice comes through clear as day and doesn't pick up your neighbor's dog barking. Worried about comfort? Don't be. The headset's design is smart - it fits well and won't make your head or ears sore even after hours of gaming. And don't sweat the wired part - there's no annoying lag, and you won't be constantly worrying about charging or batteries dying. Bottom line, the Arctis Nova 1 is a kickass bit of kit. A solid choice for any gamer who values quality and comfort. Trust me, it's worth it.

Pros: - Lightweight - Easy stowing of mic boom when not in use - Mute toggle - RGB (if you’re into that sort of thing) Cons: - SteelSeries GG is a total mess - I couldn’t push a critical update to my headset even with two computers. (PC and Mac) - Audio sounds flat with poor stereo field (poor audio localization, center sounds empty while sides and rear seem overly prominent) - Audio volume is lacking (I turned these all the way up and still felt like I needed a little more (I’m an audio engineer so I don’t listen to things overly loudly))
