Amazing headse
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 is a top-notch gaming headset with excellent audio quality and comfort. The sound is crisp and immersive, making it great for gaming, music, and movies. The design is sturdy yet lightweight, and the cushioned ear cups are comfortable for long sessions. The microphone is clear for smooth communication. The only minor drawback is that it can be a bit loud at times, but adjusting the volume easily solves this. Overall, it’s a fantastic investment for any gamer. The cord length is perfect and the mic sounds crisp and amazing!
Really comfortable and a big improveme
I used to have some kraken headphones and they were comfy but I had to superglue them back together a couple times… The build quality on these is a million times better and if I have them on only one ear, the twisting function means that won’t be a problem that will make them snap later down the line. These are a million times more comfortable and the sound quality is so much better.
I’ve had this headset since January 17 and it’s been flawless but today the earphone piece has came off due to a loose screw it wouldne off been an issue but the screw is hard to reach as the ear piece doesn’t fold on enough
Its normal...
I bought the “SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1” for 60 pounds and it was worth it, It has great sound quality for the small price, reat directional sounds and fantastic cable. The one little sad part is the quality of the mic, its bad but the audio is great – Olga
Quality headset for gaming
Been using for gaming for about 8 months.
Comfort – head band is fine. minor hurt to edge of ears after continuous extensive use. Ears do get sweaty, but that is expected
Sound quality is good – base and treble sound are clear
Had an issue with a small screw that kept coming lose, causing the one earpiece to separate from the head band — but got a micro screw driver to tighten and haven’t had an issue since.
Great Headphones Great for gaming and casual music
Overall build quality and construction are nice, I’m glad that the earphone cups are a mesh material instead of pleather as this improves breathability and quality. The range of sound is great also when playing warzone I can hear footsteps and ambient noises nicely also music sounds crisp and nice level of bass. On to comfort they are the most comfort and lightweight headphones I’ve ever had I don’t find them hurting after long sessions and they don’t put pressure on my ears.
The only issue I’ve had with the headphones is the microphone can be quiet at times and also I would’ve liked a detachable microphone instead of retractable.
The build materials are simple. But it is what to expect from a budget-friendly product.
In general terms: It does the job. Pretty well.
The sound is clear, mainly when paired with the SteelSeries App, for gaming and media. When playing FPS games, it has a pretty decent precision with spatial audio. The bass is decent.
The microphone is cristal clear and does a pretty good job even more when you take into account the price of the headset.
In overall, pretty good headset, probably one of the best in its price range.
