Arctis Nova 1 - Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Xbox - Hi-Fi Drivers - 360° Spatial Audio - AirWeave Memory Foam Ear Cushions - Ultra Lightweight - White

Love these. After many pairs of phones these are by far the best for simply being louder than the ones with flashy lights etc. Very comfortable. I bought nearly new used pair as they didn't have them. And they were as new. Saved a few quid as well which is nice. For the price these feel like a good pair of headphones. I first bought my son some brand new, he loved them so, I had a listen and I bought myself some. I'm hard of hearing and gaming headphones aren't very loud. These are a lot louder. Got one brand new and one nearly new pair and they were identical. Very great price for a really good pair of headphones. The mic is cool coz it pops inside the head phone and you just pull it out to use it. Which is great for me because I rarely use my headset mic. My only negative is that they don't have them in pink 🩷

beautiful audio but it works but u got to make sure ur headphone audio jack for ur controller is clean bc if it isn't the mic wont work bc i ha d controller which its headphone input was bad and i thought it as the headset but good headset nice ear cushions and yeah overall for £30 10/10

🧠 Overview The Arctis Nova 1 is SteelSeries’ entry-level headset in the Nova lineup, offering wired 3.5 mm connectivity and compatibility with a wide range of devices including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and more. 🎮 Design & Comfort Lightweight & Comfortable: Weighing in at around 235 g, it’s one of the lightest headsets in its class and very comfortable for long sessions thanks to soft ear cushions and a stretchy headband. Build Quality: The construction feels solid enough given the price, though the plastic design is fairly simple and not as premium as higher-end models. Fit: clamp can be a bit tight at first, but it’s generally comfortable over hours of play. 🔊 Audio Performance Balanced Sound: The headset offers neutral sound with a slight warmth, suitable for gaming and casual media use. Bass isn’t very punchy, and treble can feel a bit recessed without EQ tweaks, but overall it’s strong for the price. Spatial Awareness: You get basic surround-style audio via SteelSeries Sonar software on PC, helping with directional cues in games. 🎙️ Microphone Quality Clear Communication: The ClearCast Gen 2 noise-canceling boom mic captures vocal clarity well and filters out common background noises. Flexible & Retractable: The mic arm is adjustable and retracts cleanly when not in use. 🎮 Connectivity & Compatibility Versatile Wired Connection: Using a standard 3.5 mm jack, the headset works on consoles, PCs, and mobile devices with a headphone port — no drivers needed. Software Customization: On PC, you can use SteelSeries’ Sonar audio suite for EQ and spatial sound features, though this isn’t available on consoles. 👍 Pros Comfortable and lightweight for long gaming sessions. Clear and effective microphone for voice chat. Broad platform compatibility with 3.5 mm connection. Good value at an affordable price. 👎 Cons Sound profile is a bit neutral and may lack bass impact without EQ. Wired only — no USB or wireless options. Slightly tight clamp force for some wearers. 🏁 Conclusion The Arctis Nova 1 punches above its price point as a comfortable, dependable gaming headset with respectable audio and a solid mic. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of pricier models (like wireless, USB connectivity, or premium drivers), but for casual and competitive gamers on a budget, it’s a very strong choice that ticks most essential boxes.

I recommend u should not get this it’s the worst headset u can get more better on amazon and my ones broke when i took it out i really recommend don’t get this and also the sound quality is awful overall soo bad never buying again.

2-3 months going strong. It’s a very nice headset for ps5/xbox maybe not much for pc since the mic doesn’t pick up on windows eleven so keep that in mind. The sound quality is amazing and the mics just as good it’s fairly light and was great for the price

These have been my go-to headphones for the past 3 years!! Lightweight and doesn't hurt the ears/ head after using them for the whole day. They look super sleek and beautiful! I also like how travel friendly they are - you can disconnect the wire from the headphones and fold it up AND the mic can be pushed into the headphones completely, rather than making you detach it with the possibility of losing it or requiring extra space to carry. Sound is good and even are compatible with my Nvidia Surround Sound 7.1 which makes them sound even better. Honestly the perfect budget headphones out there.

They are super comfortable, comfortable enough to wear for hours and not have a headache or needing to shift them about and the sound quality is great but unfortunately those are the only two things that I can compliment. I've had so many issues with these that I can't even list them all. No matter how much I try and fiddle with the settings, the people I'm playing with always complain about hearing an echo and the only way to fix it was to have the volume on the headphones set so low that I could barely hear it, when streaming the echo is HORRENDOUS and makes it completely unwatchable. They will not work with a laptop AT ALL, the only thing people on the other end can hear is background noise but not my actual voice, again, fiddling with the settings and sensitivity did nothing to solve the issue. The wire is flimsy, when plugged in, if I move the wire even slightly to the right my mic and sound completely cuts out.

外観は白のボディでかわいく、気に入っています。イヤーパッドが布製で長時間(4時間程度)の連続使用でも全く痛くなりません。重量に関しても自分は気になりませんでした。マイクが収納できる為、使わない時はスタイリッシュに収納できておしゃれだと思います。ただし、マイクを収納してもボタンでオフにしないと認識されるので注意。コードがとても長いので収納は工夫が必要かもしれません。アプリでイコライザー設定ができるのでチューニングに関しては心配いりません。音質も綺麗だと思います。steel series はこれが初めてですがとても満足です。

The Arctis Nova 1 delivers very comfortable wear, an effective ClearCast mic and decent sound quality for its price. However, it lacks advanced features (no ANC, only 3.5 mm wired), and the audio delivery can be inconsistent unless you get a good seal.

I liked this so much i got my daughter a pair. i have friends who rave about their steelseries headsets and after going through a list of competitors and still having a rather low pickup on mic i was pleasantly surprised when my friends instantly noticed the difference of my mic. i have a soft voice and this works so well ingame and on discord. i don't see myself not going for another steel series when this one dies. if you've had a few others and they were hit and miss, try steel series!

The retractable mic is very nice, sound is perfect for the price.

Kulaklığın ses ve mikrofon kalitesi çok çok iyi mikrofonu o kadar hasaski bilgisayarın fan sesini file olduğu gibi karşıya veriyor ayrıca mikrofonun esnek ayarlanabilir yapida olmasida güzel kulaklığın kendiside rahat 7-8 saat hiç kulağımdan çıkarmadan kullandığım oldu ona rağmen rahatsız etmedi tek kötü yanı yazılımı steelseriesin yazılımı berbat ötesi her Windows güncellemesinde ve ekran kartı driver güncellemesinde yazılım kafayı yiyor sesi kulaklığa vermiyor monitörden veriyor ancak uygulamayı kaldırıp geri yükleyince duzeliyor onun haricinde iyi ama sırf bu sebepten ötürü ileride bu markayı tercih etmeyebilirim bazen sinir ediyor
