Super customisable and comfortable
I opted to get wired headphones instead of wireless, so while these have no bluetooth capabilities they are still super nice headphones (that come in really nice packaging) and don’t need to be charged.They’ve held up really well for as long as I’ve had them and are comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time, though I’ve occasionally experienced discomfort wearing them in combination with glasses or piercings.Friends say the microphone quality is clear and audible, but there has been an issue with the microphone not picking up the first word or so of a sentence. A button on the headphones allows the microphone to be muted which is then indicated by a red light at the end, which is super nice. The microphone being able to be extended and stored back in the headphones is incredibly useful as it makes it discreet and keeps it protected when not being used.The audio is clear and crisp, and having the ability to change the volume from the headphones itself makes them incredibly versatile so they can be used in combination with a number of devices from a console or laptop to a phone, made easier by the two different cables sent.The only downfall of a phone is it doesn’t provide the customisability of the audio mixer and colour display. The SteelSeries app has some serious customisability, though, and it is super cool to mess around and make different sets.I got the headphones while they were on sale, and I was initially skeptical, but I’m really glad I got them and they were worth the money. So much so that if I plan on getting a wireless pair in the future, I’ll stick with SteelSeries.

Best headset I’ve ever owned
The Arctis goes strong for years. Amazing comfort and plugs right in for instant play. Comfort around the ears and also over the head is unmatched—I’ve worn it for hours and had no pain. Mic quality and sounds quality are also great.

Between the Razer Kraken and Arctis Nova, Arctis is by far the superior option
Whether by accident or design all my peripherals to date have been Razer, this includes the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset, it was a good headset with excellent sound and build quality, it lasted me for years despite being dropped, stepped on, twisted and bent, the mic finally gave out after i accidentally dropped it in a bucket of water and even then every other aspect of the headset worked.If this sounds like a ringing endorsement of the Razer, it is, so much so i was intending to just buy the exact same headset to replace it. But instead i took a chance with the Steel Series Arctis Nova 3, it was slightly cheaper than the Kraken at the time and in my honest opinion it is better in every way, the sound clarity for the cost is appreciably better than the Kraken and the Mic comes with noise cancelling that i actually use because it works and isn’t a pointless gimmick.But, where it truly shines over the Kraken is the absolutely better software if you’ve owned a Razer Headset you will agree that it can be a pain sometimes to get the software to function properly, and sometimes it just stops working randomly, not to mention there was an entire period of time where the THX feature of the Kraken {yes the biggest selling point of the headset} literally stopped working for months after a Razer software update, no such issue with Steel Series’ Sonar.Another major complaint i had with the Razer is the control box for the THX spatial audio and other controls its an annoying dangling hinderance, it comes with sticky tape but that then limits how far away from your device you can take it, it’s by far the worst aspect of the Razer Kraken, all the controls for the Arctis Nova are flush with the headset and easily identifiable and useable without actually needing to see them.Another problem with the Razer Kraken was the design of the ear muffs made my face a sticky sweaty mess, this made it difficult to wear for extended period in a non-air conditioned room, the Arctis Nova 3 is by far more comfortable and the weight of the headset is noticeably lighter than the Kraken.All in all if you’re looking for a good sub 100$ dollar headset and you inevitably come up with a head to head between this and the Razer Kraken, this one is better by far.

Hardware is great, software isn’t
Replaced my Arctis 5s which had the mic go out. These are improved in every way. The sound quality is impressive for the price, they’re light and comfortable, and the mic is serviceable for gaming.The real problem is that the sound potential is only fully realized with Sonar, which is pretty decent functionally but terrible interface/design wise. You can’t default the Sonar settings to use “system sound device,” so when it’s on, changing the audio output device in Windows own sound tray does nothing because Sonar overrides it. You have to specifically open GG and manually change individual categories to the audio output you want – every time. Very, very annoying – who in the world thought that would be fun and convenient for anybody? To add insult to injury, Sonar creates an audio channel in the Windows sound tray for every category – just to override any selection you make there. It’s outrageously bad design and super confusing,This could be a 5/5 if not for Sonar doing that OR if the Engine EQ worked as well and you could leave Sonar off but it sounds significantly worse with Sonar off. I don’t want to open an app, then go to Sonar, then go to the category JUST to switch back from headphones to speakers, for EACH category like media, gaming, etc. Fire whoever designed this UI

I recently got the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3, and it’s easily one of the best gaming headsets I’ve used in this price range!Sound Quality:The Signature Arctis Sound delivers clear, detailed audio with deep bass, making it perfect for immersive gaming. Whether I’m playing on PC, PS5, or Xbox, the sound is balanced, and directional audio is spot-on.Microphone:The ClearCast Gen 2 mic is a huge improvement—my teammates say my voice sounds crisp and clear with great noise cancellation. It also retracts when not in use, which is a nice touch.Comfort & Build:The headset is lightweight and super comfortable, even for long gaming sessions. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, and the adjustable headband ensures a perfect fit.Compatibility & Features:It’s truly multi-platform, working seamlessly with PC, PS5/PS4, Xbox, Switch, and even mobile devices. The USB-C connection is a plus, and the RGB lighting adds a cool aesthetic without being over the top.Final Thoughts:For the price, the Arctis Nova 3 offers premium sound, great comfort, and excellent mic quality. If you need a solid gaming headset without breaking the bank, this is a fantastic choice!⭐ 5/5 Stars ⭐

Primero que nada debo decir que son muy muy cómodos. Para alguien que usa lentes, no ejercen tanta presión los audífonos en los oídos y puedes andar con ellos sin molestias. Aunque la configuración para acomodar en la cabeza es muy limitada, por eso quitaría un punto. La calidad de los materiales son de los mejores que he tenido, las luces son impecables y discretas teniendo un acabado moderno y minimalista. El micrófono es extraíble y enciende la punta cuando esta silenciado, el único pero que tengo es que el cable del micrófono esta muy delgado y puede doblarse muy fácil. En cuanto el sonido y los controles, bastante satisfecho. La calidad del micrófono y su cancelación del sonido es muy bueno, tiene ajustes para eso al igual que la configuración del audio. El audio es bueno, tiene ecualizador y es necesario hacer los ajustes por que la configuración básica no es muy buena o al menos no para mí. Los controles tanto físicos como digitales están excelentes para que lo configures al gusto.Sin duda si los recomiendo para aquellos que no quieren gastar mucho pero si lo suficiente para tener unos audífonos de calidad.

Mesmo o produto tendo um valor meio alto, o produto em si é maravilhoso e oferece uma boa experiência para seus consumidores.Agora posso dizer que ele apresenta um ponto negativo, que seria seu cabo, ele enrola fácil e prende em partes que não vai esperar. Um detalhe, mas que irrita um pouco.
