Looking for some help picking out a pair of wired, over-ear headphones (preferably in white). Budget’s around \~220BGN (\~$131.29). I want something with a balanced sound but still some nice punchy bass - good for both music and gaming. Don’t need crazy noise canceling, just a bit of isolation for home use in a quiet room. I used to have the Arctis Nova 3 Wireless, but the 2.4 GHz dongle kept causing popping at low frequencies. Tried everything to fix it, no luck, so I returned them. Now I’d rather stick to wired to avoid that headache again. Any solid recommendations would be very appreciated
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Wireless. Under $100 and good audio and microphone capabilities with Bluetooth and 2.4 audio modes
I'm having a great time with the steelseries arctis nova 3's, on amazon i got them on sale for about 75quid, only thing i'm not a fan of is the software, extra bloatware, its not great and the software to mix game and chat volume and master volume is all seperate, however if you don't have the software open the chat and gaming still override the master volume, meaning you have to disable the other 2 everytime you boot your pc
The Steelseries Arctis Nova 3, which are the ones I got a year and a while ago, are fantastic for the 100€ I paid. Nowadays you can get them for 70€ or less, they're a steal, they sound great, the micro is good, they're comfortable for long sessions and they are a trusted and widely recommended headset for a medium budget. I saw in another comment you recommended some Sennheisser that go from more than twice that price (right now about 180€, down from 220€). And you also add a modmic clipon that cost 70€ and up because the Sennheiser doesn't even have a mic. Unfair comparison when the price difference is the triple or more.
Yes. 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).
I'm currently using Steel series Arctis Nova Wireless. They're good sounding, the mic is good, the background noise cancelling is good for the mic but the ANC is absolute trash but I also have inconsiderate housemates. That being said, they're very comfortable to wear all day and I've had little issues with them.
The 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.
Steel Series Arctis Novas are always a solid choice. The band on the headset makes it the most comfortable over others.
I 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.
any steelseries headset, preferably arctis nova
