Steel Series Arctis 1 - All-Platform Compatibility - for PC, PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - Detachable ClearCast Microphone (PS4////)

I don't write reviews often, and this pair of cans impressed me enough on day one to write one. I've been gaming for longer than I'd like to admit and have gone through countless headsets. Most have been adequate, some have been good and fewer have been great. The SteelSeries Arctis 5's (and I'm sure the other Arctis models) are on an entirely different level.The first thing I noticed was how extremely comfortable they are. I've been wearing them for several hours at the time of this review and I'm not experiencing any pressure points or irritation. The atypical and simple suspension system is great, and I can't believe more companies haven't caught on to this.Another thing is the size of the headset. Many gaming headsets have a ridiculous amount of added bulk to make them stand out or look cool. SteelSeries instead has opted to go with a more sleek minimalist approach and pull it off well. While I can't comment on the durability yet, the materials feel sturdy. Time will tell, but even the cheapest of headsets will last if you take care of them.Lastly the sound, and WOW do they sound great! Your experience may vary, instead of plugging these into a USB port I have them connected to an internal amplified soundcard (which makes mediocre headsets sound better than they should). All levels are crisp and clear, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much bass these produce. The only downside to being connected directly to the soundcard rather than a USB port is I don't get to play with the nifty lights on the sides.For those without a similar soundcard I'm not sure how these will sound, but I plan on doing some testing to compare the difference in sound. Also since I'm not using the USB connection, I don't have the chat mix dial connected so I can't comment on how well that works. That too will come in later tests and I'll provide additional feedback at that time.I'd say these are the best bang for your buck right now. More expensive headsets from other companies don't even compare to how comfortable these are nor to how great they sound.

Ok, I will like to start with the seller: Arminius17bcAwesome job! Great customer service, super fast responses and follow up to make sure that I got my product on time and in good condition even thou that Amazon sent me the incorrect tracking number, the seller step up, send me the correct tracking number, very polite, very fast on contacting me and when I got the headset they immediately send me a message about it. Seller Score is 10/5. Couldn't be more satisfied with the seller. I'm really looking forward to do more business with them.Ok, now let's talk about the headset. IT'S AWESOME!! Ok, I have tried a lot of headsets in the past from Sony, Logitech, etc., etc., this headset within this budget of less than $100 is the best out there. Super comfortable, great build, very nice sound quality, I will use it for a lot of things like listening to music in the PC, gaming in the PS4, Audioconferencing in Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc. If you are looking for an over-ear headset for any of those things, you wont regret this one. Headset score 5/5 in sound quality, 5/5 in comfort. Oh, it has RGB, I didn't pay attention to that, when connected using the 3.5 mm it doesn't light up until you connect with the USB to the computer and then the RGB showed. It's a headset so I won't be seeing the RBG by myself so it really is a nice extra but not a must have in my opinion.

These are comfortable to wear for long periods of time even with glasses. I have a small head and didn’t even need to adjust the strap at all. They are not bulky and are lightweight. The foam is a little creaky when I move my head but it doesn’t seem to be in the joints and it doesn’t really bother me. My ears very slightly touch the fabric on the inside but it is so slight it’s barely noticeable. If you have ears that stick out a lot it might get uncomfortable. I think they sound pretty decent and the bass is nice. Not overpowering. The rgb is a nice touch. I have not played with the surround sound much so I can’t say anything about that. The sidetone is rather weak. The setting in the program doesn’t seem to do much and I have to control it with the Windows sidetone setting and I can barely hear my voice even with that setting all the way up. Mic works well and I like how it stows inside the earpiece. The dial for game or chat volume is very easily moved. Make sure you set it where it won’t get bumped. The adapter to be able to plug into my phone is also very nice. Overall I am very happy with this headset.

Sound quality was ok but the Mic was lack luster. The Mic was often to quite or to loud even though I wasn't moving it. The scroll wheel for sound is loose so it was extremely easy for it to shift from one mode to the other which left me not hearing My friends in chat. The splitter is so loose it fallout all the time making it's rage limited. At this point it won't trasnmit sound anymore and the port is extremely loose.If this is all you can afford you'll get a year out it most likely, otherwise I'd go a different route

These things are nice. I'd buy them again if they were on sale but I'd do a hard pass for full price.The pads that come with the headset are comfortable, but they feel too small (at least for my head and I wear 71/4 size hat) so I ended up getting replacement pads that are thicker and even more comfortable. The headband is "adjustable" if having very limited grip area for the hook and loop to actually attach to with even more limited grip is what you'd count as adjustable. The mic is fine, but not nearly as sensitive as some others out there, in order for the mic on this thing to pick up your voice it has to be at almost exactly mouth level or it sounds very distant.Overall a very comfortable headset that I can wear for hours (even more so with the new pads) and it sounds great and highly immersive.

Works great, audio quality is great for the price

No sirvió la bocina del lado derecho

Pc gaming, works great, according to my son....one of the best headsets

The media could not be loaded. Realmente confortável, qualidade de som e áudio aprovado por minha sobrinha que ficou muito feliz...Recomendo!

This headset works awesome it alot better than what I had

Me parece que cumple muy bien con su propósito, el nivel de sonido y calidad en juegos y consumo de videos o películas es muy bueno, lo único que para escuchar música, no tiene tan buena calidad y recomendaría otros auriculares, pero este modelo es para juegos por lo tanto excelente
