SteelSeries - Arctis Prime

This take is stupid. It depends entirely on what you're doing with them. I don't WFH, no zoom calls, and I'm not a streamer. I've found my Arctis headset to be convenient and perfectly adequate for playing BF6 or Arc Raiders with a couple friends. I have some Edifier MR4 monitors that I use when not using the headset. Picked them up for $80 on black Friday a couple years ago. Pretty happy with those as well, though I'm no audio engineer.

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 :)

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 have a steel series arctis something and it’s solid. I’m on Mac so I can’t use the software but they are still good imo.

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

Id say Arctis but that's really only because I like not having a mic sticking way out SteelSeries Arctis does have better audio quality, but that will be redundant because you don't exactly need higher sound quality to have a better sense of direction, it'll only give you a better listening experience I recommend using SteelSeries Sonar, it'll work with either headset and has nice EQ presets that can really take any headset a step farther for gaming use than any stock headset

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.

I use the Steelseries Arctic for 3 years. Still solid

WIred- Sennheiser pc38x, Wireless- astro a50(non x, x just gives you hdmi passthrough which is really for ps5/xbox kind of stuff)good sound, great mic, . Budget, hyperx cloud 3s(120 right now, sound is top tier, mic is med, battery is absolutely impressive) . Arctis is great and while the mic is kind of mid, it works. Dont go audeze maxwell, mac is pretty bad but it weight like double some of the other options, tho sound is fantastic. I have been geeeking on the cloud 3s the past month, actually great headset. If mic is important, pc38x or a50 gen5,

Cool thing about Arctis is if u download the app on ur phone it has over 200 preset audio files to pick from for over 209 games for best sound
