Based on 1 year's data from Feb 14, 2026 How it works
I find the 3p detachable mic to be so intrusive id settle for the nova 5 honestly could go for 2 days straight heavy use (im talking like 48 hours battery life speaking from experience) without charging and you barely notice the mic it has and the mics great too has an option for 2.4 and bluetooth pairing too. Little to no downsides but ye steelseries has been a solid brand for me i had a arctis 3 that lasted me for 6 years just replacing the wires it needs until the mic finally gabe out
30 bucks? Yes, those are good
Top (3.5mm wired, work with PS5 controller, laptop & PC) HyperX Cloud Alpha.... comfy, great mic for the price, sturdy. Good all-rounder. SteelSeries Arctis 3.... balanced sound, clear mic, lightweight and comfy for long sessions. Sennheiser Game One / GSP 300... best mic clarity of the bunch, very comfy, sounds great. Logitech G Pro (with 3.5mm cable) ... esports-grade, very clear voice and comfy fit.
I’ve had my arctis3 for 5 years and they’re still going strong. My buddy has broken 2 Pulse Elites in that time. Steel series is some good quality hardware. The arctis can plug into your controller, AND connect to your phone via Bluetooth simultaneously. My model is the basic 3rd gen and I love it still. I’d say go for the $189 pair. If you’ve got room to ball, go for the $249.
I use the Artics Steelseries 3 wired headset and its great. I think right now the Nova 1 wired is like $35 and well reviewed and the spiritual successor to mine. If you are really on a budget, the Bengoo G9000s are like $15 and have quite good sound for the price and a good mic. I suggest them to anyone who wants a beginner headset and don't want to waste a lot of money. The Steelseries are a step up and what id recommend but it has a bigger price tag
I use kz zsn + fosi audio k5 pro and dgm20 combo for previous work. Previously using arctis 3 pero nagkaka issues ako kaya nagpalit ako to my current set up. I think di mo na mauubos 5k dun, pwede din razer seirin mini as a mic. Just a suggestion, still up to you.
Mejo cloudy or mahina, need ilapit yung mic kapag asa call ako.
Here i am holding onto my Arctis 3 headset. I have the nova 7 but the sound is better for me on the A3.
dando meu pitaco aqui sobre dolby atmos. a qualidade em si do som melhora e só isso já faz valer a grana investida nele. sobre espacialidade, eu já joguei muito star wars battlefront 2 e battlefield 1 e eu geralmente sou meio rushado, então nem fico me ligando na direção dos tiros, mas quando eu foco no gameplay, cosigo sim identificar essas paradas. já usei steelseries arctis 3, arctis pro +gamedac (que to vendendo pq aperta muito minha cabeça) e hoje uso o kuba disco e em todos eles a situação da melhora do áudio é muito perceptível. só um adendo que existem alguns fones que já tem com dts hein, por exemplo hyperX e logitech, já os fones da corsair costumam vir com dolby, então fica ligada nisso.
Still a great headset. While it may not have some of the features of its successor (Nova 3 Wired, and Wireless) it still a great headset.
No, they aren't worth the money. Mine fell apart after two years. I replaced it with the Arctis 3, and they have been solid
