Title: Great Headset
Review: I have been using the SteelSeries Arctis 1 for over 2 years now, and I am overall happy with them. They have good sound quality and noise cancellation, and they are great for gaming. I have used them for hours on end without any discomfort, and they have held up well to heavy use. I have not used the microphone, so I cannot comment on its quality. Overall, I would recommend the SteelSeries Arctis 1 to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable gaming headset.

Title: Genuinely Good Quality & Value
Review: They might be the ‘budget’ option in the Steelseries range but these are still a great quality stereo headset!I needed a headset with a mic for gaming and after a fair amount of online research reading reviews (both customer and professional editorial) I decided to go with these for their quality brand and ‘studio’ like sound reproduction … and by that I mean a flat and well balanced EQ (no bass heavy mess) all the frequencies seem to be well represented and come through crisp and clear to present a well rounded and balanced sound environment, both in-game and (surprisingly) for music/media too … needless to say I was refreshingly impressed and very happy with my purchase. (My previous non-gaming headphones were a ‘budget’ Sennheiser but these Steelseries sound better)They are also very comfortable, even for long periods of use, with true over-the-ear cups. The headband adjusts easily and has plenty of range so should be good for most head shapes and sizes. I haven’t had these for long yet so I cannot comment on their longevity, but I can at least rest easy knowing that spares are (currently) readily available in the form of replacement ear pads, detachable mic and y-cable for PC.Other PC gaming headsets I considered in similar price range (~£50):- Corsair HS50 Pro- Razer Kraken- Hyper-X Cloud

Title: Not too bad for my first gaming headsets
Review: Just bought the headphones and tested them out today (Phone only)Mic: Not too good but not too bad neither. Literally sounds average lol.Pros: – Is decent for casual use-Great for adjustment and comfort, it stays in place.Cons: – When you breath it can be loud/definitely noticeable,just try not to breathe heavy lol.- Idk if this is a con but when the mic is close it becomes loud and basically inaudible (great for toxic players lmao)- Bending the mic it felt like there was a creak idkHeadset:Pros:- Really comfortable, you’ll never ache wearing these- Buttons on the side for mic options are placed greatlyCons:- Headset material is plastic, feels kinda cheap but not too cheap.- Inside of the headphones is like some sort of silky material. Idk if all gaming headsets are like this but it just feels cheap lolAudio:Pros:- Pretty balanced, bass is there for music- Can hear people well through headsetCons:- Cant find anything, I guess if you like music with hard bass then youd find the bass 3/5Overall: 4/5 Stars because it’s only £40 and the headset comfort is great + mic is decent. However, the headset felt kinda cheap in some parts and the mic is abit sensitive. The audio is balanced (as some people may like) but I like abit more pound to the bass although it ain’t bad so I cant complain. Maybe I’m picky but I’d pay about £30 for these not £40.

Title: Decent
Review: Let’s start, feels as nice as my old headset that was over £100. Sound quality it’s good enough, little bit tinny but after about 5 mins you forget about that. When they break in the future will replace them with the same again. Unlike other reviews about the bad mic no complaints from my team mates on Warzone

Title: Wow these are bloody brilliant!
Review: What an upgrade from the cheap Sony headphones these were replacing.Sound quality is crisp and well rounded. I can hear sounds I couldn’t before, while being to pinpoint sounds from all around me in 3D. Music streams sound like I have two stereo speakers beside me, I forget I’m wearing headphones.The headset is very comfortable to wear. The cups are large and cover my ears well without crushing the outer edge. The material is soft and plush.The microphone is clear and I have had no complaints on either team calls or online gaming. The noise cancellation is very good and things like my breathing or any other background noises are filtered out.Well worth the 40 pounds I paid. They are large and I’m not sure that for general use while on the bus etc if these would be the best choice, but for home and work use they are ideal.They also look great with my steelseries mouse, keyboard and mousemat. Go for it, you won’t regret it.

Title: Noise cancellation a little too good for the price
Review: Good sound quality, good for gaming + great noise cancellation for the price..My brother had to wait outside my house for an hour because I had these on a didn’t hear him knocking.Perfect for a low budget headset

Title: Returned less an hour after unboxing
Review: Let’s start with the good. They look very stylish and once on your head you can barely hear what’s happening around you so for Noise Cancellation 8/10. Also includes a splitter. Moving onto the bad.Comfort 1/10You can feel right out of the box how tight they are going to feel, very firm but lightweight. Less than 10 minutes of use before my head was pounding and ears were begging me to remove this headset. Perhaps for a child or someone with a small head they would be more ideal.Sound Quality 2/10It maybe unfair to rate the sound quality so low but I had to bump the volume up to 100 both in Windows and In-game AND still could barely hear any sound, never mind pinpoint left from right. Very unfriendly to people who want an easy plug and play headset. I did read other reviews saying you need to mess with EQ settings (which I did not).Mic Quality N/ADid not test the mic as already have a seperate device for this.

Review: Great sound especially considering the low price tagThe connecter is 3.5 mm. There is a splitter for separate headphones and mic connectionsThe mic did not go in as easy as I thought it would causing several minutes of troubleshootingWorks great with the single connector into the headphone jack on a PC
