    Customers have different views on the sound quality. Some find it good and impressive for the price, with noise cancellation and a microphone that works well. Others mention it's not deep or rich, and loud noises may be heard from the speakers when moving their head. The noise cancellation isn't game-changing, and audio interface changes can affect the performance.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the headset's functionality. Some say it works well with their USB, is comfortable, and has good sound and microphone.

    125 customers mention "Durability"34 positive91 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the headphones. They mention that the headphones keep breaking, sound randomly stops working, and the material holding it to the base began ripping. The port and cord are fragile, and if you touch them even slightly, the volume drops. There are also mechanical issues like bent or broken wires, padding snapping off the top, and the frame stability is poor over time.

    4.5 Years Strong
    5 out of 5 stars
    4.5 Years Strong
    These came with the AirWeave Cushions and have lasted 4.5 years. After 4.5 years, the left ear cushion back piece fell off. The right side is also looking like it'll fall off. Sound is amazing and quite soundproof to outside noises. The ear cushions are comfortable and breathable. The Cable is something like 9 feet long, which I personally like, as I can walk around with it. The sound has not deteriorated over time, nor has the frame stability.

      I opted to get wired headphones instead of wireless, so while these have no bluetooth capabilities they are still super nice headphones (that come in really nice packaging) and don't need to be charged.
      They've held up really well for as long as I've had them and are comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time, though I've occasionally experienced discomfort wearing them in combination with glasses or piercings.
      Friends say the microphone quality is clear and audible, but there has been an issue with the microphone not picking up the first word or so of a sentence. A button on the headphones allows the microphone to be muted which is then indicated by a red light at the end, which is super nice. The microphone being able to be extended and stored back in the headphones is incredibly useful as it makes it discreet and keeps it protected when not being used.
      The audio is clear and crisp, and having the ability to change the volume from the headphones itself makes them incredibly versatile so they can be used in combination with a number of devices from a console or laptop to a phone, made easier by the two different cables sent.
      The only downfall of a phone is it doesn't provide the customisability of the audio mixer and colour display. The SteelSeries app has some serious customisability, though, and it is super cool to mess around and make different sets.
      I got the headphones while they were on sale, and I was initially skeptical, but I'm really glad I got them and they were worth the money. So much so that if I plan on getting a wireless pair in the future, I'll stick with SteelSeries.

      Color: BlackStyle: Nova 3Verified Purchase
      Whether by accident or design all my peripherals to date have been Razer, this includes the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset, it was a good headset with excellent sound and build quality, it lasted me for years despite being dropped, stepped on, twisted and bent, the mic finally gave out after i accidentally dropped it in a bucket of water and even then every other aspect of the headset worked.

      If this sounds like a ringing endorsement of the Razer, it is, so much so i was intending to just buy the exact same headset to replace it. But instead i took a chance with the Steel Series Arctis Nova 3, it was slightly cheaper than the Kraken at the time and in my honest opinion it is better in every way, the sound clarity for the cost is appreciably better than the Kraken and the Mic comes with noise cancelling that i actually use because it works and isn't a pointless gimmick.

      But, where it truly shines over the Kraken is the absolutely better software if you've owned a Razer Headset you will agree that it can be a pain sometimes to get the software to function properly, and sometimes it just stops working randomly, not to mention there was an entire period of time where the THX feature of the Kraken {yes the biggest selling point of the headset} literally stopped working for months after a Razer software update, no such issue with Steel Series' Sonar.

      Another major complaint i had with the Razer is the control box for the THX spatial audio and other controls its an annoying dangling hinderance, it comes with sticky tape but that then limits how far away from your device you can take it, it's by far the worst aspect of the Razer Kraken, all the controls for the Arctis Nova are flush with the headset and easily identifiable and useable without actually needing to see them.

      Another problem with the Razer Kraken was the design of the ear muffs made my face a sticky sweaty mess, this made it difficult to wear for extended period in a non-air conditioned room, the Arctis Nova 3 is by far more comfortable and the weight of the headset is noticeably lighter than the Kraken.

      All in all if you're looking for a good sub 100$ dollar headset and you inevitably come up with a head to head between this and the Razer Kraken, this one is better by far.

      The best price to performance wired option for spatial audio and competitive gaming.

      The Good:
      Works with every device via 3.5 (aux) or USB.
      Plenty of included cord length.
      Great noise-canceling mic
      Exceptional Almighty spatial audio (the highs, mids, and lows are all very present and accounted for).
      Excellent build quality.
      Durable and easily adjusted.
      Customization: Leds and EQ tunings using the software on PC.

      The Neutral
      At this price a wired headset should include a case, stand, or something—anything really.
      The bass is average when not using custom preset on PC and it's lacking over 3.5.
      The 40mm Steel Series drivers (like all their headsets) would all be better if they were larger (50mm).
      It's average at cancelling other noises around you (ie busy traffic, barking dog, etc.)

      The bad:
      Usb and internal DAC as well as LEDs don't work on Xbox. (You can plug up the USB wasting a port just to get the lighting, but why?)

      You might as well buy the Arctis Nova 1's if you don't have a device to take advantage of the USB connection. If you have multiple devices and most (or the primary) can use the USB, then this is the best option (at this price point).

      If you want Hi-Fi audio, then the Arctis Nova Pro Wired is what you want (probably the best cans I've owned that's both decent at scratching the audiophile itch and delivering exceptional gaming audio―everything just sounds better!)

      For wireless there's the new Nova 7's which are great, but if you want to have two systems hooked up simultaneously I highly recommend the Nova Pro Wireless.

      I love the new Nova lineup, but I do believe SS needs to start offer larger drivers, include more accesories, or charge Less. I will be reviewing the Nova Pro as well.

      Thanks for reading!

      Thanks for reading this quick review

      5.0 out of 5 stars Best Headset I've Ever Had
      Reviewed in Canada on June 11, 2023
      Color: BlackStyle: Arctis 5Verified Purchase
      I love this thing: Very comfortable fit, amazing audio quality, amazing microphone quality with ZERO background hiss/noise/feedback (it bypasses my motherboard's awful Realtek audio chipset), tasteful RGB, audio/mic controls built-in to headset itself (not cable), computer + phone connection support, removable cables (for easy replacement if they break), reasonable price, flat ear cups are easy to lay down, I generally like the SteelSeries brand, works perfectly fine on Linux (tested with PulseAudio), and interesting streaming features that don't feel like gimics.

      Cons: Uncommon connector type before changing to USB or AUX (with included adapters)... USB C would be really cool to have here but it's hardly necessary, outer headband is perhaps a bit too big (I guess it would allow this headset to fit some bigger heads but for me it's just slack space), and plastic earcups seem to collect fingerprints and markings more easily than some of my other headphones/headsets.

      This is the opposite of buyer's remorse, it's a great piece of tech.

      Primero que nada debo decir que son muy muy cómodos. Para alguien que usa lentes, no ejercen tanta presión los audífonos en los oídos y puedes andar con ellos sin molestias. Aunque la configuración para acomodar en la cabeza es muy limitada, por eso quitaría un punto. La calidad de los materiales son de los mejores que he tenido, las luces son impecables y discretas teniendo un acabado moderno y minimalista. El micrófono es extraíble y enciende la punta cuando esta silenciado, el único pero que tengo es que el cable del micrófono esta muy delgado y puede doblarse muy fácil. En cuanto el sonido y los controles, bastante satisfecho. La calidad del micrófono y su cancelación del sonido es muy bueno, tiene ajustes para eso al igual que la configuración del audio. El audio es bueno, tiene ecualizador y es necesario hacer los ajustes por que la configuración básica no es muy buena o al menos no para mí. Los controles tanto físicos como digitales están excelentes para que lo configures al gusto.

      Sin duda si los recomiendo para aquellos que no quieren gastar mucho pero si lo suficiente para tener unos audífonos de calidad.
