Very satisfactory
Got this headset recommended by a good friend of mine and after a careful revaluation bought it at a discounted price. The microphone quality has especially been noticed by people I call with regurarly. Really happy so far after owning them for about a month.

User friendly
Features I liked: -great comfort(wore it for hours without ill effects on my ears) -high sound quality(if you don't need it for some highly professional audio work it sounds amazing) -cable length is sufficient -all of the mentioned qualities come with a fairly reasonable price Features I didn't like: -Actually couldn't think of anything really, don't throw them around I guess, since they are quite fragile. Overall extremely satisfied with the product.

Disappointing build quality
I bought these in July and by September one of the ear pieces broke off, the audio quality is very good however it is only build quality that I have an issue with.

Do Not Recommend
I am extremely disappointed in this product. I have been working night after night attempting to get even a lick of audio out of this headset. I have exhausted every attempt at making this embarrassing product work. I was a Steelseries fan before this headset and see my loyalty waning.

Worth what you pay for
I’ve bought headsets for this price range for pretty much ever, as a budget option that weren’t as comfortable or quality as the Arctic Nova 1 has been. In fact I’ve noticed a generally better experience including audio quality all around from other brands I’ve tried. I am particularly fond of the cloth ear-cups, Any headset I’ve used before has been made with materials that don’t last, and begin to fray and tear in small pieces, not to mention not every headset comes with detachable ear cups. So to pay in the same price range and have a product that really doesn’t have any of those big quality or comfort faults. (Expecting to get what you pay for.) is refreshing to say the least. If I had any complaints I would want slightly bigger/deeper ear cups. But my ears are just a little bigger, so I wouldn’t blame the design for that.

Really comfy and good quality!
Received it about it 3 weeks ago and it's only been amazing since. The headband can be moved around if you need it tighter or looser. The design is fairly minimalistic, the retractable microphone allowing for a less gamer-y look when you go outside wearing your headphones to listen to music. Only downside is that the ear-cups press down hard on your glasses if you wear them, so it hurts a bit until you get used to it.

Its very light
It is very light so you dont get as much of a headset dent as you would from other headsets. Its sound quality is also very good. The one thing I didnt like was the Way you had to set it up with your computer, I found out that you had to push in the cable to the headset a little too much for comfort, but if you dont Care about that then its a great headset

It's a great headset
Great affordable headset. You won't get tremendous audio from them, but it will get the job done. Comfortable. Just remember to adjust the strap that goes on the head. Which is located under the bar that goes on the head, for a nice comfortable fit.

SteelSeries - Arctis Nova 1 - Black
this is a good headset but the connection with the jack is not so good. seems to be lagging a bit if its no in at the perfect spot. i took it with a whire besauce i use it for work and i need to use it on my phone and on my laptop. so i am constantly changer depending on the work im doing. sometime i am listening to music on the computer and i have a call so i unplug and plug fast on the phone to take the call. other than that this i a really good headset. sound is great, and the feeling on the head is perfection. its my second headset with your compagnie and you are rellay the best. Ive tried a lot of my friend headset and yours are better. love the feeling and the quality
