After buying the Artcis 5 for myself, I bought the Arctis 3 for my younger brother. He is a devoted League of Legends player who is always running around. In the last week, I haven't seen him once without his Arctis 3. It has become an extension of his body. He says he is hearing effects and musical accents in LoL that he never heard before, and his music sounds so much better than his Beats headsets. I think his only complaint was wanting a more colorful headband.

I purchased this headset primarily to use with my Xbox one s as I use a PS4 gold headset for my PS4. Having owned both headsets I will say that I feel the arctis 3 is more comfortable than the gold and has very solid sound. My main issue with this headset is that I have to have he volume turned all the way up when gaming in order to get decent sound. This is only the case when plugging it into a ps4 or xb1 controller. Compared to the gold headset I would say it is more comfortable for sure but when it comes to gaming use only I think the gold takes it. I know it's not fair as the PS4 gold is made for the PS4 but I feel the PS4 gold headset has more bass plus wireless although not as comfortable as the steelseries. Overall I am very happy with this headset. The mic is amazing and sounds much clearer than the gold headset. Pros: Comfortable Great mic Nice treble Cons Poor bass Not very loud when gaming(plugged into xb1 or PS4 controller Overall I would rate this a 4 out of 5
