SteelSeries - Arctis 3

Arctis 3 wired out the box, no messing. I've always heard footsteps fine with all headphones I've used, even shit ones.

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 a cheap cabled Steelseries 3(?) cabled one. Good enough for me, but just like my old bose headset I had the glue in the earpads give up the same week and the headset becomes more or less junk. The fit and smart headstrap design is very comfortable.

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

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.

Idk what currency you use but I’ve used SS arctis 3 for console for a couple of years before I accidentally snapped the aux myself. I’ve seen them go for about £50-£60 on ebay

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.

Ah true, there is not so many wireless headphones on the market compatible with Xbox. I'm not so sure but I was between nova 7x and nova pro wireless (correct me please if I'm not mistaken but I've read that you need to connect pro dongle via optic cable to work) nova 7x dongle is connected to Xbox usb port. Anyway. As an addition to my previous post, I owned some wired headphone by razer ( I think it's kaira X ) and It's night and day difference, I hear sounds which were unable for me to hear previously. Arctic nova 7x is much comfortable to use and it's lightweight. Right now I use them connected via dongle to my series X and by Bluetooth connected to my phone and Logitech g cloud console. Awesome headphones, I also owned wired arctis 3 few years ago to my pc, also good headset

Love turtle beach for their style and how lightweight they are but unfortunately I will forever choose steelseries for their clearcast mics and noise cancellation. As a gamer who uses a mic heavily for online gaming there's a massive difference in mic quality when you are joined up to 5 other players and there's always that one guy with awful mic feedback who will tell you his got a decent gaming headset and everyone tells him to mute. I do love turtle beach as a startup set though. Started my kid on turtle beach before moving them onto steelseries a couple years later. 

from my research- i mostly used reviews sites like reddit vetted-these are a few safe bets: HyperX Cloud II/III just because they’re comfy and you don’t have to fight with software. nothing fancy, just works and the mic is serviceable. the AKG K612 or Sennheiser HD560S. super clean imaging, great for footsteps and they’re not hyped garbage. you’d just need a small dac/amp but even a cheap dongle drives them fine. also the Steelseries arctis wired models are still around and pretty chill. very comfy headband, decent sound and you don’t have to pray the drivers don’t explode

I use Logitech g733 headphones currently and I find them super comfortable to wear with glasses. I've also used Steelseries Arctis headphones a lot and always found them to be very comfortable.

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 :)

Don't get Arctis ones as they don't fit properly over the headset. Shame because they're my preferred ones.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

I love my Steelseries Arctis. It's a touch out of your price range but the features are top notch.

My steelseries Arctis headset is still going strong after 7 years. I had a hyper x one that didn’t even last a month.

Bluetooth works fine now, I use steelseries arctis

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.

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.

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

Arctis steel series. I can hear more than my teammates typically with incoming cars etc

This is the best answer. I went steel series arctis until i upgrad

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.

I use the Steelseries Arctic for 3 years. Still solid

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.
