Top teor budget friendly headset
Probably the best gaming headset I've had to date. The mic is on a retractable boom arm meaning you have have it at various points or fully retracted if not needed. It also seems clear when used with the PC app. I wear glasses and it doesn't cause me any discomfort when wearing unlike most over ear headphones I have owned. The soft mesh pads with softer foam filling help a lot in this aspect I believe. The sound is pretty good too with a traditional roller wheel to adjust the headset volume on the left side along with the mic mute button and cable plug in point. The LED is fully programmable for colour and flashing with the desktop app too. There's also a physical switch on the headset to turn them off too.

Love It!
I wanted a wired headset, just to avoid having another Bluetooth device in my life that needs charging. The quality of this headset is ace and very comfortable to wear. The app offers some nice features for both audio aspects and the RGB lighting. I like the pull-out Mic and the sound quality of it is good (not had any complaints from those hearing my voice through Discord). I have a deep voice and have experienced issues with other mics when talking, as I would need to raise my voice unnaturally for the mic to detect my voice, however, with this headset, I've had no issues. The headset itself feels premium and at the same time, is lightweight. I'd recommend this headset, a perfect companion when gaming on PC and when needed for work meetings.

SteelSeries has not failed me yet - Great quality
Would have been 5* if delivered to correct place. Bought after my previous SteelSeries headphones could no longer be repaired - The right ear died after a good few years of been used daily - great value and replacement parts are available both from SteelSeries and 3rd party. 5* for the amazing headphones, ear pieces a little smaller than expected still comfortable. comes with 3 cables (3.5 jack to male USB-C, male USB-C to male USB-C and male USB-A 2.0- male USB-C). LEDs can be turned off via switch on side. This item was delivered to wrong address (I had provided correct address AND directions)- had to walk 3 miles up the road to collect, I was not happy.

Best headphones ever
Phenomenal bass so god that after I bought these for my partner I decided to get a pair wierless pair for my self light weight, comes with usb and audio jack connection they even light up if powered by usb, the mic has a little red led that in eye sight to let you know if you're muted mic quality isnt studio but they never are at that size on headphones anyway. Ear cup surround your ears instead of pressing on them meaning comfort for hours and hours. The breathable foam cups can be removed real easy too should you use them while exercising or youre just a sweat lord and want to change them or clean them

Good price and quality
I ordered it for my son. He's very happy about the quality of it. The micro is hiding inside the structure of the phones, it protects it from damage.

1 Broken 1 partially working sounds like a bad recent batch so avoid until production is fixed
So I currently own the Arctis Nova 1 which I consider one of the better gaming headsets I've owned. Not on the same level of some of the more audiophile headsets I've owned by for the price better than others. I decided to upgrade to the Arctis Nova 3 recently as it was on deal. The first headset came and the left earcup was non functional, when I plugged it in first I got a hiss a crackle and a pop noise from it then no further sound. But hey I thought some faulty ones will always slip through so initially I took the option to have a replacement headset sent rather than a refund. The second headset arrive and the left earcup worked but something seemed off with the sound. After testing it for an hour or two I realised the sound was unbalanced (the right ear cup was slightly louder than the left) and issue I've not experienced with any other headset or headphones. So with two units being faulty I asked for a refund. I'm writing this review not out of malice but because I hope some-one from SteelSeries reads this and checks because 1 fully broken unit and 1 unit that's slightly faulty both on the same earcup suggests a potential problem with a recent production batch that should be investigated and for the price I wasn't willing to accept a product with such issues and faults. I do hope to re-order in the future hopefully by then it will be a new production batch without these issues.

Elite headset, but be wary of the built-in daisy chaining.
Bought this headset after my Arctis Nova 2's were virtually damaged beyond repair. Absolutely stellar pair of headphones, genuinely some of the best sound quality you can get for the price. I love the comforting feel of them, Over the ear headsets aren't everyone’s thing, but I love the soft memory foam. I only have two real nitpicks: Just like everyone else, I am NOT a fan of the steelseries software, massive pain to get working it's essential to use the headset the second you open the app, would advise against even downloading the software if you don't care about the RGB or more in depth audio tuning. The daisy chaining of USB's (that are included in the box) has caused horrible, loud, screechy audio bugs a handful of times in the past. I wish I didn't have to daisy chain them, but my PC doesn't have type C support. It's not a consistent problem, I reckon' it just happens when the cables get twisted in a weird way. Just something to look out for if you too have to use both USB's provided.
