Steelseries arctis nova 1 wired. Slight quality control issues. Buy from Amazon or best buy good return/refund policy elsewise excellent
I just bought an Arctis Nova 1. Good budget headset. Right now I am trying to figure out the best settings for hearing footsteps. Stereo feels like it's not quite as percise as it should be, and the fake 7.1 Windows Sonic setting seems to help with things to the left and right, but then you cant hear a god damn thing in front of your face. Like I suddenly dont make reload noise or hear any narration.
I 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)
love 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.
My 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.
I'm going to try the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 and see if those work. I've been using the Xbox Wireless Headphones for the past few years and they're on their last leg. The fake leather earmuffs are always awful on purpose, so you buy the replacement pads
I 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
Ha. I bought the wired steelseries arctic nova 1’s. £30. Plug into the controller. They do for me. Had years of premium headphones Steelseries and Astro’s. Today I don’t really see the point with all the 3d simulated sound stuff.
