A_Red_Void_of_Red 1.0Steelseries arctis nova 1 wired. Slight quality control issues. Buy from Amazon or best buy good return/refund policy elsewise excellent
humbuckaroo 1.0I really like the Steelseries Arctis Nova 1 set. It's 45 bucks on Amazon right now. [https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Arctis-Multi-System-Gaming-Headset/dp/B0B8Q4CR52](https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Arctis-Multi-System-Gaming-Headset/dp/B0B8Q4CR52)
Kazuyakinoshitaa 1.0love how there's comments saying there's no good headphone list but their best headphone is an audiophile one from sennheiser that costs ten thousand bucks (that one guy recommending a Sennheiser HE-1 that costs 50k lol, 75k in europe). realistically speaking, this list has good choices for everyday use, personally tho, id take the [nova 1X](https://dk5cnflyn7mcb.cloudfront.net/?q=GMKAO2307) over the normal one. the sound quality and mic is better than the normal 1 variant and price difference is small.
LiLFecalith 1.0My pair of Steel Series Arctus Nova 1P headphones keep disconnecting from the earmuff to the headrest. It is held together by a single screw. The majority of Steel Series headsets are designed in such a way, and because of such issue, I advise staying away from them.
Red_band-69 1.0I have been using the steelseries arctis nova 1 headset and they work great. good mic, good sound and very comfy. also has 360 degree sound so good for fps games
Mane_UK 0.5Yes. Headset with amazing sound stage for 3d audio is incredibly detailed and immersive. Try a 3d audio game with any set of headphones you might have lying around. (I use an old set of fairly chunky hi-fi headphones). Buying a new headset I concur with other people who said Arctis steelseries with the 40mm "Nova" drivers. I honestly thought they would be a bit rubbish, at least a step down from the previous 50mm in bass. But wow, they're surprisingly good. I have a sort of neckband thing for VR racing, it feels like a HANS device and gives a sort of personal bubble of surround sound. It's a bit of a unique case, but I picked it up cheaply and it makes a huge difference (not isolated, not loud, and not TV speakers).
Bobbytwocox 0.0The original Arctis definitely had a weak point at the hinge. However the newer Arctis Nova has redesigned the hinge and it has been great for about 5 years now.
justauryon 0.0Steel Series Arctis Novas are always a solid choice. The band on the headset makes it the most comfortable over others.
omegafivethreefive 0.0I have the Nova Pro Wireless, had the prev version too. They seem to last ~3 years using them ~60 hours a week. Very good all around but if that life expectancy doesn't fit your budget I'd look elsewhere.
Pekish_ 0.0any steelseries headset, preferably arctis nova
