SteelSeries - Arctis 1 Wireless Stereo Gaming Headset for PC - Black

These 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.

I bought this headset to replace my aging, crappy headset. My original headset was the Turtlebeach ear force stealth 700 gen 1 which was $150 when I bought it 5 years ago. The Steelseries Arctis 1 is $50 cheaper but the quality way surpassed the more expensive Turtlebeach’s. The steel headband provides great clamp holding the headset snuggly in place without pushing too hard to where it’s squeezing your head. If you drop something and bend over to pick it up, this headset will sit in place instead of crashing to floor as you forgot you were wearing the it. The material they used to create the ear cup cushions is top notch. It is very breathable and comfortable as they don’t use vinyl or pleather but instead choose a breathable fabric. You can easily wear this headset for hours and have no discomfort, personally tested and I have a big head. I haven’t been on the receiving end of the mic so I can’t not speak to quality of it. I haven’t experienced anything bad with the mic yet. The mic being detachable is a plus. Sound wise, this headset can get pretty loud and while it does have good bass it could be better. Sound quality is great for gaming as I’m always able to hear footsteps and gunfire behind me in COD and Valorant. The battery life is absolutely fantastic. I no longer have to hide mid game in a panic because my headset died and I need to plug it in. This headset will make it through an entire day of gaming before you start pushing low battery. My only gripes with this headset are the facts that it doesn’t support Bluetooth and the headset receiver being usb type c is a little ahead of its time. While they do proved a standard usb to usb c cable it’s more a burden then it is helpful if your device don’t support usb c.

I 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.

I have owned other brands in the same price range and higher. 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.

this 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.

Really great headphones if these ever go out ill definitely buy another pair!

Got 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

Works excellent with PS4, iPad Pro, and Mac. Sound quality of great. Look is minimalistic with no rgb. Connectivity is also great, I can be on the other side of my apartment and still get uninterrupted audio. You can even change audio profile and adjust it to your liking with a computer.
