SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1P Multi-System Gaming Headset — Hi-Fi Drivers — 360° Spatial Audio — Comfort Design — Durable — Lightweight — Noise-Cancelling Mic — PS5/PS4, PC, Xbox, Switch - White

I play video games almost every day, mostly cozy games and fortnite. I just play for fun with my fiance and didn't feel like spending more than $50 or so was necessary. These are a huge upgrade from my original $20 headset which needed to be replaced cause it was causing a terrible echo and the mic started to go out. Anyways, the sound quality is so notably different with these headphones and no echoing. Noise canceling isn't their strongest quality, but that's also not what I need personally. The setup seemed a little more complicated than it should have been? I tried the cord three different times before I could both hear and be heard, but eventually I figured it out and haven't had any issues since (I reset all my audio settings and restarted my controller). I also love the look of these, I really was not interested in a bulky black and red headset with built in LEDs, that's just not my vibe. These look clean and sophisticated. Also very comfortable. Would recommend and hopefully they hold up long term!

I am a hardcore gamer, so when I need equipment like keyboards, mice, and or headsets I always go with "Steel Series". While it is name brand and can be expensive, you get your moneys worth. This headset is amazing and very comfortable. It has high-quality sound that can let you hear things you normally couldnt hear through a speaker. The microphone sound is clear and everyone listening to you can hear clearly without any inconvenient noises thay come with some mics.I also find it convenient that the mic is fully retractable as that when I am not using it I can simply tuck it away. Another thing I like is that the mic arm is flexible and can be moved closer to you or further out most others. As for the head frame, there is a cloth piece that spans the width of the headset thaf is adjustable and or removable. This is very convenient and comfortable as wearing headsets (particularly the hard plastic that sits on the head), for long periods of time can hurt or be uncomfortable. Also the ear pieces are made from very soft breathable cloth and they are big enough to fit around the ears instead of sitting on them or the edges. I have had multiple headsets and all of them sat on the edges of my ears and would eventually become uncomfortable but not with this set. The ears on this set literally fits AROUND the ENTIRE ear and instead of MOST of the ear. Other sets you can feel your ears under the edge of the cover but with this one you can not feel them at all. As far as long gaming sessions I have sat in on a four hour session with this set and the comfort was so great that I nearly forgot I was wearing a headset. It also has a large built in on / off button for the microphone as well as a big volume roll button for volume control.

The Good: This headset has fantastic build quality and I love the colors/material used. The fitment is easy to adjust and it cups my head perfectly, and I don't feel any discomfort after longer periods of use. Its clean, its neat, its comfortable and the audio quality is better than what I would consider average. Its surprisingly hard to find a headset without RGB (that you're not even gonna see anyway cuz its on the sides of your head lol) and this one nailed the overall design. The mic felt flimsy at first but its actually really nice having so much adjustment rather than just a static, swiveling arm like other headsets. It also stores really nicely to keep your space organized.The Bad: It took me longer than I'd like to admit to get this thing working.. There were no instructions included, but I found a SteelSeries YouTube tutorial. Turns out I had the cable plugged in backwards and did not know to download their GG app for more settings. The packaging itself feels like I just paid an extra $5 for some stickers I'll never use, and some "ooh's and awe's" effects. Also the cable is a little short which can be an issue on PC if your tower isn't close to you, but it's a toss up because a longer cable would make it a hassle for console/controller users.What it would take for me to have given 5 stars?Include instructions in the box, or at least a QR code to link your own YouTube unboxing and setup video. Then get rid of the stickers because 99% of them are going to end up in landfills anyway. I don't even care if it drops the price, the stickers just feel like a waste of time/energy/resources.

I’ve been using these headphones for a while now, and they’re easily one of the best I’ve owned. The sound quality is amazing—clear highs, deep bass, and great surround effect, which is perfect for gaming. I can hear every little detail, from footsteps to explosions, and it really makes a difference.The comfort is also a huge plus. The ear cushions are soft, and the headband fits nicely without feeling too tight. I’ve worn them for long gaming sessions, and they don’t cause any discomfort. The build quality feels solid, and the mic is pretty clear for voice chat.If you’re looking for a good gaming headset that delivers both in sound and comfort, this is definitely worth checking out!
