SteelSeries - Arctis 1 Wireless Lossless Surround Sound Headset for Nintendo Switch with Detachable ClearCast Microphone - Black

Before I talk about what I like about this headset, I want to talk about why I am taking one star off my rating. The first headset I purchased, the microphone didn't work at all right out of the box. I initially set everything up on my Switch and started playing Overwatch (the reason I bought this headset). Audio came through just fine, but I couldn't talk to anyone on my team. I tried Fortnite since it supports voice chat natively as well, nothing there either. I also hooked the headset up on my PC, and downloaded the SteelSeries Engine 3 software. It allows you to customize the EQ settings on the headset, test the microphone, and check for firmware updates (there weren't any). I still got no sound to come through the microphone. FYI, if you are going to use this headset on your PC, you have to make sure you plug the wireless transmitter in using the provided USB-A to USB-C adapter cable. I also read an Amazon review that someone else had the same thing happen with their headset, microphone was DOA. I took the headset back to the store, they let me exchange it for another one. This time, everything worked as it should. So far, I am really enjoying this headset. It isn't heavy, but feels sturdy. I usually only wear the headset for two hours or less, and it is very comfortable. The sound quality is pretty good for games and the microphone works well. I like the button controls on the ear cup as well. Volume and mic mute are easy to control. Setting up the headset is very easy. I play my Switch docked at all times, so all I had to do is plug the wireless transmitter into the provided USB-A to USB-C adapter cable, plug the other end of the adapter cable in to one of the three USB slots, turn on my Switch, plug in the microphone on the headset, then turn on the headset. What's nice is you don't have to pair the headset to the transmitter since it runs on 2.4GHz wireless. You might experience interference depending on what all you have running around where you play, but mine works fine. You can connect this headset even if you play your Switch in handheld mode and it works with PC and PS4. It is a very versatile headset. As long as you don't get one with a bad microphone, it makes for a pretty good headset.

He has been dying for one of these headset to play Fortnite. I can't wait for Xmas morning to see the look on his face.

Very good nintendo switch microphone sounds very clear and good

Easy to setup for console or port over to desktop/laptop. Definitely a step above the competition.
