Great product for the price!
I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 Multi System headset and honestly it surprised me in a good way. The first thing I noticed was how comfortable it is. The ear cushions are soft and it doesn’t clamp too tight, so even after a few hours of gaming or watching videos, my head doesn’t feel sore.Sound quality is clear and balanced. Footsteps and small in game details are easy to hear, which actually gives you an advantage in competitive games. Music sounds clean too, not overly bass heavy but not flat either. It feels well tuned for everyday use, not just gaming.The microphone is another strong point. My voice comes through clearly and teammates have not complained about background noise or distortion. For a headset in this price range, the mic quality is better than expected.What I also like is that it works with different systems without any hassle. I can plug it into my PC or console and it just works. No complicated setup.Overall, it feels like a smart buy if you want something comfortable, reliable, and good sounding without spending a crazy amount of money.

If you’re looking for simple, comfortable, and amazing quality – you need to buy this immediately
Extremely comfy and amazing audio quality! It was everything I’ve been looking for: Built-in microphone that can retract, comfortable on the ear and head (doesn’t cause the “gamer headphone dent”), noise cancelling, simplistic design and affordable! It brings the headphones (can fit all head sizes simply by moving the band) and has its cable to connect.I love how it also came with some stickers which is always a plus. Would definitely recommend to my friends and any other gamers

Overall pretty nice
Theres some pros and cons to this.Comparing to my old headset these were much louder and the noise cancellation were much better. But the mic quality in discord specifically was a bit meh other people i was with said it sounded like i was underwater. I would still recommend this headset as its pretty good for budget, the audio quality was nice and for your ear it was really comfortable. Also the wire was a bit short to my liking.UPDATE AFTER 2 YEARS OF USE :I daily this thing as my main headset and yes there’s a few problem already. First of all the headset like leather material keep falling off and currently all of it is gone. Secondly the jack insert bent (this one is my fault but yeah still a problem). Third issue I’m running into is the mic barely working as it sometimes not detecting anything and i mean anything. Another issue is the headset ear puff almost falling out. I mean it has been treated a bit rough but since it lasted 2 years I can say its pretty good

Honest feedback
Works well for the price.I recommend downloading their software to adjust the base because it’s loud. Aside from the base the product is able to be used for games like R6, Apex, or just for music. Works a lot better than you would expect honestly.The only issue I would say is the MIC isn’t too good and detecting your voice. Still works great and I still use it to chat with my family and friends during games.5/5 recommend if you’re seriously in a budget and just need a headset for detecting footsteps and detailed sound in game.Other things you might wonder, is it comfortable? Yes, I wear glasses and can play for hours without ear fatigue.Does the quality feel good? Yes, quality isn’t bad and it hold up well. The headband is especially nice and comfortable.

Sound quality is good but falls apart easily
The sound quality of these is really nice. They have worked great on my phone and laptop. Noise cancellation is noticeable. However, there is one tiny screw that holds the earphone to the headband and it comes unscrewed easily. Once it falls out, it’s very difficult to put back into place. You’re cooked if you lose that little screw. Poor engineering on these.

Just… Wow. Great value headset
(note: I wear glasses. I feel like this is important to mention with headsets >.>)Honestly, I never expected headphones to make such a big difference in experience. My first headset was a 25$-ish headset that broke, so I decided well, lets try something a bit better from a reputable brand, and ended up buying this one for 40$, and it is worth every. single. cent. spent.Audio is amazing, and it comes with an application you can download that allows you to tweak the sound depending on your use. It did seem a bit overwhelming at first, but its actually fairly simple to use once you get to understand it a bit.The headset does feel a little tight on the head, but so far its not uncomfortable to use for long periods of time, as long as you put it on right. Even while using glasses, this feels ok on the head. If you put it on wrong however, like I did when I first got it, it would be very uncomfortable and even painful.My only complaints would be that, because its all plastic and feels a bit hard, I get worried about breaking it and try to use it as gently as I can. However, I have seen a Youtuber do a review of this headset and he stretches it beyond what my heart can handle without breaking, so there’s that little bit of relief found there xD. The 2nd complaint is the short wire length. Would have loved having it be a bit longer, but its not bad.Overall, my experience with it has been pretty well. So well that, despite the 2 complaints I listed above, I’d still be willing to give this a 5/5. (edit: 4.5 now, due to below issue)Edit: after using it for a couple months, this headset is amazing and is no longer as tight on the head. However, now I’m facing a new issue, and that is the mic wont fully retract into the headset and would get stuck like there is something blocking it from being pushed into its slot. This comes and goes and I have to use some level of force here and there to get it fully in, but out of fear of breaking it, I stopped doing that. Still, because I only use it for the pc, its not really much of an issue except when I’m eating. For that inconvenience, id drop the review to 4.5. Would still buy a steelseries though because its a fantastic audio experience.

Sometimes sound doesn’t come from the right earcup, and the microphone is not working. And yes, I’ve tried literally everything on the Internet to try and solve it, but no.

So far so good. I wanted an affordable headset with Pugh any of that garbage fake leather that always flakes and makes a mess after a while. These are great as they don’t have any whatsoever. My last pair were turtle beach and while the ear pads weren’t fake leather, the opposite side had some for design that’s flaked and the head band as well. These have ZERO of that garbage.The headset is super comfortable, light and adjustable. Great for long sessions. Audio is really good and I use them with a ugreen 3.5 mm to usb adapter that has a built in sound card that cost about $15. Works perfectly. Love these so much I bought a back up pair in case I ever break them and they stop making them. I hope that’s never the case.

Après des casques bien plus chère, je suis surpris de la qualité sonore et de l immersion spatial. A voir dans le temps si il résiste (j ai une grosse tête…les casques aiment pas)…mais pour le coup….ca sert à rien de payer plus
