steelseries arctis 1 for gaming, for daily basis some Chinese cheap fuks
r/IndianGaming • What headphones are u all using ->SteelSeries Arctis 1. I got a cheap model because I'm not always using headphones while playing, primarily only for voice chat. But even so, it has done its job well. Very little complaints, from me or from my friends who I voice chat with
r/playstation • Which headsets do y'all use? ->When you play multiplayer competitive games, you can hear footsteps of the enemies easily. Also you can get good sounding headsets cheaper than a sound system(where i live). I have steelseries arctis 1 headset it sounds so good compared to my tv’s speaker but it is uncomfortable. I am not used to wear headsets so i prefer tv speakers. I played The Last of Us Part 2 while wearing my arctis 1’s and it was an incredible experience. Wish i could use them more often.
r/playstation • When you play games. Do you wear a headset? ->Currently, I use the Razer Kraken V4. It's wireless with either 2.4 Ghz USB-C dongle or Bluetooth. it can also be used with a wired connection, which simultaneously charges it. There is a cheaper option in Razer Kraken V4X, which is a solely wired version. I've both headsets and have had no issues with either. I also quite like the Blackshark V2 Pro. The mic is noticeably better on the Blackshark vs the Krakens, in my experience. However, the mic on the Krakens I own is retractable, which is a big selling point for me. My first ever headset was the Razer Kitty Kraken. Honestly loved it to bits, especially customising the cat ears' RGB, so I can also recommend it if you want something cute. It comes in black, white and pink versions. I'm not sure if the other Razer headsets do, but I absolutely know for certain the Kitty Kraken does! In the past, I've also used Steelseries Arctis 1 and Arctis 5. Both were serviceable, but I feel as though the audio was tinny. The only reason I bring these up two up is because Razer products can be quite expensive, and Steelseries options are affordable whilst still offering similar features (wireless, wired, Bluetooth, detachable and/or retractable mic, etc...) whilst being cheaper. They are also much lighter on ear/in general compared to the Razer headsets. Hope this helps! Would love to know what you go for!
r/GirlGamers • What headset would you recommend? ->Yes.. I use a philips shp 9500 for years, never want to go back to a "gaming headset" they make my ears vomit every time I compare to my Philips 🎧 but I haven't try gaming headset nowadays, the one I'm comparing and I still have it for occasional usage is steelseries arctis 1 wireless.. just because it's wireless and it can produce sound and bass that's it.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->Have had the steelseries arctis 1 for a few years now. Cheapest of their wireless headsets I believe but have never had any issues with build quality or durability like the other steelseries offerings.
r/buildapc • Best Wireless Gaming Headset Worth Buying Today ->I can tend to agree, basically any time i need to use it I need to reinstall because it's not working, but I hardly ever change any EQ settings. I have friends that play on Xbox so we use xbox party chat and I can control volume levels of different programs there.
r/buildapc • Best Wireless Gaming Headset Worth Buying Today ->SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless PROs: Ang ganda nang quality nang mic and noise cancelling. Mura around less than 5k. CONs: Plastic build (tho 5 years na sakin, countless ko nang napalitan nang cusion) Type C only no Bluetooth
r/PHGamerPals • Gaming headset recommendations under 5k? ->ive had the arctis 1 wireless for 5 years now, they're falling apart, i was conflicted about upgrading to these or not but you convinced me
r/steelseries • I'm just going to say it. The Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless is the best headset ever made (in my opinion of course) ->ive had the arctis 1 wireless for 5 years now, they're falling apart, i was conflicted about upgrading to these or not but you convinced me
r/steelseries • I'm just going to say it. The Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless is the best headset ever made (in my opinion of course) ->I have the cheap Arctis 1 Wireless and they're so nice and comfortable. I have been using them daily for 4 years without many issues. I would imagine the higher priced ones must be even better
r/buildapc • The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? ->I went wireless for my Series X too because I kept snapping cords. The Turtle Beach Stealth 500 feels solid and works fine....but honestly I ended up liking the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless better.
r/XboxSeriesXlS • Whats the best headset for series X? ->Check out the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless. i think its under $100, solid positional audio, and comes with a USB-C dongle. Super comfy too. If you can stretch a bit, the Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is great for around $130 with better soundstage and mic quality
r/BuyItForLife • Recommendation for Gaming Headphones? ->I can vouch for any of the Steelseries headsets. I have had the arctis 1 wireless for almost 3 years and it still performs and feels like day 1. Not too expensive either
r/buildapc • What is the best headset for FPS games under 280€? ->Steelseries Arctis 1 Wireless. I have a larger head and these go large with room to spare, also very comfortable for long sessions.
r/playstation • Which headsets do y'all use? ->My arctic 1 from Steelseries is great, can’t justify buying a different one and it was 50 bucks. All the others are just too pricey and heavy if you ask me
r/Rainbow6 • What’s a good headset for r6? Budget is around 200$ started to get more into it help please ->The Arctis ones do it with a cool little dedicated box where you can also control other things. I had some years ago and it was a very handy feature...though yes, windows now does much better, channel-based volume control. Still not as cool as a dial on a box though :)
r/PUBG • best headset for playing the game ->Don't get Arctis ones as they don't fit properly over the headset. Shame because they're my preferred ones.
r/PSVR • PSVR2 what headphones do you use? ->I live and breathe by the steel series arctis series. They have lasted me a LONG time and has withstood a lot over the years with zero damage.
r/buildapc • The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? ->steelseries arctis are as good as it gets for me. I've tested every major headset over the last year and they've been the best sounding and by far most comfortable. they suffer from some software issues when using in pc but outside of that i will be sticking with steelseries offeringsbfor the foreseeable future
r/XboxSeriesXlS • What's a good headset that won't break the bank ->I’d look into a hyperx headset. Those usually are good quality and last quite a while. I haven’t found one I’m not a fan of but I’m also not an enthusiast although I currently bounce between the alpha and a Steelseries arctis headset.
r/playstation • Best gaming headset under $40 ->Steelseries and something in your budget in the arctis series. I am on my 3rd model. I love the headband part that doesn’t press on my head, and the material on the earpads are so comfortable.
r/playstation • I need recommendations for a PS5 headset, I don’t mind spending a lot of money, what are your best suggestions? ->Same. I dropped my Steelseries Arctis whatevers for an Audio-technica condenser mic, a headphone amp, and some DT770s. I sound clearer, I hear better, and i spent roughly the same amount on the new stuff that I did for the Steelseries. No control software bloatware, everything plug and play.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->My batteries lost their capacity very quickly, and the audio software never worked well. I had to disable every audio channel that wasn't Steelseries in Windows. Save money on the brand name, get some studio headphones.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->Just got these. I can recommend them. Not tested mic yet. As for comfort: I have a large head, and am finding the clamping a bit tight however, and the earcups just fit around my ears - it's a bit snug. Nothing bad, per se, but not quite in the super comfort zone of some other headphones. They'd be fine for gaming sessions, but not something I'd want to wear all day. I'd have preferred a bit more of a relaxed fit. On the other hand, a relaxed fit means very big headphone that can turn some people off.
r/FractalDesign • Fractal Design Scape - First Impressions ->Having owned the arctis, and now just picked up the Scape, I can tell you that it's in a different league to the Arctis. It's very good. Not quite as good as my high end audiophile headphones, but very, very good compared to most gaming headsets. I'd rate them in the same class as the Audeze maxwell. Happy to listen to music on them. Excellent controls too. And very nice looking in person. I have a large head, and am finding the clamping a bit tight however, and the earcups just fit around my ears - it's a bit snug. Nothing bad, per se, but not quite in the super comfort zone of some other headphones.
r/FractalDesign • Fractal Design Scape - First Impressions ->I love my Steelseries Arctis. It's a touch out of your price range but the features are top notch.
r/buildapc • Whats the Best Gaming Headset to Buy Right Now? ->My steelseries Arctis headset is still going strong after 7 years. I had a hyper x one that didn’t even last a month.
r/buildapc • Whats the Best Gaming Headset to Buy Right Now? ->Bluetooth works fine now, I use steelseries arctis
r/SteamDeck • What headset are you guys using? ->Gaming earbuds are terrible quality compared to audiophile earbuds at the same price. They are better quality than cheap Amazon earbuds though. Its about what you want out of them though. Do you want noise canceling? Sony. Do you want music quality? Reviews vary but you can't go wrong with Technics or Soundcore. Gaming only? Then yes, the Arctis are good due to low latency.
r/ROGAlly • Best Earbuds ever! ->I have gone through all the premium/best-reviewed ones and the Corsair Virtuoso is the best overall in my experience. I didn't like the weird headband on the Steel Series Arctic line. For me it was not comfortable at all. I had a previous version of the Arctis with the little dock and hot-swap batteries, and I LOVED that battery switch feature.
r/buildapc • What's the Best Wireless Gaming Headset in Your Opinion? ->Audeze Maxwell - Considered one of the best wireless gaming headsets. Popular with music creators as well as for gaming. Mic is reasonably good, though can clip a little. Comes with leather earpads, but they can be replaced easily. Drop + EPOS PC38X - One of the best wired gaming headsets for sound clarity and mic quality. Bass reproduction is a bit muted, which is common for older style EPOS / Sennheiser headsets, and common with open back headphones in general. The mic is essentially the best of any consumer headset you can buy. Generally can only be bought directly from Drop's site. Comes with both cloth and velour earpads. [https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset](https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset) Steel Series Arctis headsets are generally a decent middle ground in terms of decent bass and mic quality. The overall audio quality isn't as good as either the Maxwell or PC38X, but they're closed back so their bass response is more like the Maxwell. And the mic quality is generally better than the Maxwell, but no where near as good as the PC38X. Most (maybe all?) use cloth earpads. Nova Pro Wireless and Nova 9 are both quite good, with the Nova 9 being slightly better in terms of audio clarity and mic quality, but the Pro Wireless has better bass and noise cancelling.
r/buildapc • What's the best Gaming headset in terms of Sound quality and quality microphone? ->The Arctis steel series ones that are marketed for Xbox work with PlayStation too and I see now they have some PlayStation branded ones too
r/PS5pro • Headset recommendations ->Arctis steel series. I can hear more than my teammates typically with incoming cars etc
r/PUBGConsole • What headphones are ya’ll using to hear those footsteps? ->This is the best answer. I went steel series arctis until i upgrad
r/PUBGConsole • What headphones are ya’ll using to hear those footsteps? ->Dunno what headsets you've been using but I'm on my 3rd SteelSeries headset since I've been buying them since 2015. First pair I bought which is the Siberia v2s (iirc) are still working beautifully and I use them with my PS5 when I travel for work. My second pair is an arctis wireless pair, forget the model, but they only got replaced because I was given my current ones as a Christmas present. Zero issues ever.
r/pcmasterrace • Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. ->It is ! I’ve just upgraded to the wireless one and it’s so easy to set up and have really good sound quality and noise cancellation :)
r/XboxSeriesXlS • What's a good headset that won't break the bank ->I have an arctis wireless and an arctis 9 wireless and they have worked perfectly for years and neither have broken in any way
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Can somebody explain the whole don’t buy gaming headset thing please? ->Arc Steel Series is another solid option. I have a wireless one I purchased for $100 two years ago and haven’t had a single problem. Crisp, clear audio and super comfortable too.
r/XboxGamers • Headset recommendations ->I use the Steelseries Arctic for 3 years. Still solid
r/playstation • Turtle Beach Introduces Atlas 200, Its First Licensed PlayStation Headset ->What headset you recommend? Currently have a hypercloud 2 and it´s breaking down as I´ve got it for 8 years now lol, bought the hypercloud 3 and it´s whack, literally feeling pressure on my ears and the microphone is bad. Tried arctic steelseries and even that one felt like pressure on my ears.
