Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Gameplay, Price, Sound qualityCons mentioned:CordsGot the Arctis Wireless headset to use with my PS4. They’re great and really immerse you in the game you’re playing. I love that they’re minimalist and I can wear them out and about with it being obvious it’s a gaming headset. I bought a small usb-c to usb-a connector to get rid of the cords in front of my PS4, though just be aware that when using the adapter it only works one way, so had to flip it to work. Other than that I’m really happy with my purchase. I got mines on sale, so for basically the same quality sound as the Arctis 7 I got a much more affordable headset

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Gameplay, Microphone, Sound qualityI was looking for something that I could use with all my devices when I'm on the go, something I don't do a WHOLE lot, but every once in a while. I wanted wireless, a good mic, preferably something tunable (on pc at least), and something that was light/small enough to stay in my backpack at all times. My devices are a OnePlus 6t, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Surface Book 2. All of which have a USB C port, so this was already looking good. I was honestly considering something wired with USB C, so I wouldn't have to charge anything, but the 20 hour battery life should be good enough to make this work. The audio quality is good on phone and switch, but it's GREAT on PC. Thankfully the steel series software works with this headset on PC, so I'm able to really eek out the best it can offer, I usually have two profiles for my arctis 7 headset, one for gaming and one for music so this offers that as well. It supports both Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos on PC as well, another huge benefit. The microphone is good on android, and great on PC, again the Steel Series software brings a bit more out of it I guess. I was talking to my buddies on my phone through Discord, and they all said it was pretty good, but then when I switched to my PC they said it sounded even better. It also offers a wired connection in case the headset dies I still can plug in with a regular 3.5 cable to continue it's use.

My first and favorite wireless headset
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Microphone, Price, Sound qualityThese SteelSeries Arctis 1 are my first pair of wireless headset I’ve ever owned for gaming... As a PC/Xbox One player I constantly switch between the Xbox app on party chat or a chat room on the Discord app and I’ve had zero issues with this headset. Battery life is amazing for the price!! I play usually 5-6 hours through the day and I find myself charging the headset once weekly. I AM NOT KIDDING!! Battery life is really good and doesn’t take too long to charge up to 100% either. Charges using MicroUSB not USB-C. Has a mute switch and a single dial for volume. Has a detachable 3.5mm mic port. Brings a 3.5 mm to connect to other devices where Bluetooth is not supported. Uses a USB-C wireless adapter to connect directly to a Nintendo Switch if you want. The design is simple and not too heavy or tight around my head. Mic is super crisp and clear, all my fiends knew I had gotten a new mic because they told me I sounded like I was next to them talking. I recommend this to anyone wanting to transition from a wired headset to a wireless headset. Of course SteelSeries has many other headset options but for the price and what you get, it really is the headset I can easily and comfortably recommend to anyone.

Theres nothing better for the price
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityCons mentioned:Earpiecethis is an excellent headset for $100. i replaced it for my old logitech g533. These are so much more light and much more comfortable then my old logitech's. the sound is good. i bought this because you can use it on your phone too and its really convenient and it doesnt have to pair its just plug and play. the only gripe i have are the ear cushions. They are pretty bad. mainly because they are a little short and makes my ear touch the driver shield. after a couple hours your ears will be sore. definately should invest in some pleather ear cushions which ive transferred from my old headset. this headset is a no brainer. just get them.

Steel Series are perfect super comfortable lightweight the sound is genuinely clear and loud enough. the set up is really easy (which unfortunately isn’t always the case lol) ALSO the distance at which the Bluetooth finally disconnects is impressively far! One pair I previously owned only had a 10 foot range which if you go to the bathroom or go grab a beer and the thin cuts out and then you have to reconnected it will drive you crazy just get these guys it’s a good company.

Decent first headset
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5Pros mentioned:Gameplay, Sound qualityThe headset took some getting used to. Although they are pretty flexible, I felt they were a bit tight around the head at first. Also my ears rub against the speakers which was initially annoying. I can't complain about the sound quality. Video games and videos are crisp, and to my surprise I was able to listen to music anywhere in the house without my device nearby. The microphone on the headset picks up everything. My voice is clear, however when I play back a recording, I can heat the cat purring near me, as well as clatter upstairs. While gaming, the case seems different as others had trouble hearing me, until I raised mic volume on the console.

Q: QuestionWill this headset work with a ps4
Asked by Ps4.
- A:Answer If you go to the SteelSeries website for this product, it specifically states for use with PS4. Since the PS4 does not have a type USB-C plug in it, you have to use the included adapter cable that goes from USB-C to USB-A. Just plug the wireless USB-C dongle into the USB-A cable that plugs into the PS4. It's still wireless but you just have to hide the dongle with adapter cable. The manufacturer website has a picture where you see the PS4 and the wireless dongle plugged into a cable laying on top of the PS4 all sleek like.
