Solid!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This headset was built for performance speed, but the microphone just wasn’t there. It needs a wind, buffer or something, although they are lightweight and very easy to handle. I think they can do a lot better with the build quality since they’re called steel series and they are a little bit soft

Comfortable and Clear Headset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband replaced his old gaming headset for these and he LOVES them. He said they are really comfortable and the mic and sound is very clear. They are lightweight. The only issue we had in the beginning is we weren’t hearing sound. The mute button is easily turned on and off my pressing in the ear piece. Once we figured that out we were good to go. We used it on the Xbox.

Good quality sound and super comfortable for gaming
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with the Arctis Nova 1 has been amazing. Ever since I started playing with them, my friends can hear me more clearly, and I don’t feel like I need to get closer to my microphone for them to hear what I am saying. And the directional sound is just as clear for games where precision and attention matter. The built-in mute button comes in handy when I am switching between games, and rather than trying to remember the unmute key for each game, I can just press it directly on the headset. They feel light and comfortable. Even through several hours of gaming, I never feel like I have to worry about the headset clamping too hard. They fit just right. They are an immediate 5/5 must buy for me. After trying several headphones, these are the best you can get for long hours of gaming with friends.

Great sound and comfort, but occasional wire shorting issues keep it from being perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've really enjoyed using this headset. The sound quality is clear, whether I'm gaming, listening to music, or chatting with friends. The headset is very comfortable to wear for long periods, and the set up was simple right out the box. The main reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I've experienced some issues with the wired connection. At times, the cable seems to short out, causing audio interruptions unless i adjust the wire. Aside from that, the headset has preformed well and feels durable overall. For the value, it is a solid headset with great audio and comfort, but i wish the cable was more reliable.

Decent for price!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the price point, I think these headphones are great. They look sleek, fit snugly, and work well for gaming. I appreciate the fabric band included for less pressure on your head. These headphones do feel a little small compared to others. I've used a lot of Steelseries equipment in the past and I believe their higher priced lines have a better fit but I'm not upset at all for the price point, they're only a little cheaper than my current IEMs that I use and produce extremely similar results. These headphones are not soundproof and do have some audio leakage. I will be continuing to use them on days when earbuds are annoying!

Comfy, but didn’t work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall these headphones are really comfortable and lightweight which i think is amazing to be using for gaming or working constantly, but they only have a headphone jack adapter and not usb or anything, and when i plugged them in to work on my computer the other parties couldn’t hear me at all, but i could hear them. I’m not sure if my microphone didn’t work and was broken but i’m rating them only 2 stars because i don’t think i can even use them at all.

Nova 1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Active Nova 1 headphones in black exceeded my expectations assembly feels sturdy and well-made, while the controls are easy to use and responsive during daily use. I was especially impressed with the sound response, which delivers clear audio and solid bass for both music and calls. Maintenance is also simple since the smooth finish wipes clean easily and keeps the headphones looking new. Overall, these headphones offer a great balance of comfort, style, and performance. They are stylist and chic for sure. My son loves them to go online without keeping the whole house awake. They have quality sound and I would recommend.

Amazing value for exceptional qaulity
After having my Corsair Virtuoso headset for 5 years and the wireless connection starting to cut out intermittently, I decided it was time to get a wired headset and as I had previously looked into getting a Steelseries headset I knew it was time to make the change. After looking at all the options available I landed on the Arctis Nova 1 and I was pleasantly surprised at the sound and build quality, as a daily user it is comfortable and when paired with the Steelseries GG app it gives exceptional sound for every king of use, from gaming to watching movies to listening to music. Would recommend.

Solid Headset!
I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 for a while now and I’m honestly really happy with it. I mainly play WoW (a lot of PvP) and Battlefield 1, so I spend quite a few hours wearing a headset. What surprised me the most is how comfortable it is – especially compared to my old Razer headset, which would get pretty warm over time. This one stays light and easy to wear even during longer sessions. Sound quality is solid for gaming, and I can clearly hear important details when it matters.(Steps etc.) I’m also on Discord a lot, and the mic has been working great – my friends say I come through clearly every time. What I really like is that it just works without any hassle. No setup, no extras, just a reliable headset that does its job well. Especially if you’re on a bit of a budget but still want something comfortable and dependable, this one is definitely worth it.

Most Comfortable Headset I've Ever Used
I already had a Steelseries mouse and keyboard, and when my headset broke, I wanted to try the headsets on offer. Sound quality is brilliant, microphone is excellent, and the fit is so comfy, especially with glasses on

Good headphone
It's neat, easy to use. Doesn't take much space, also if paired with the steelseries GG app becomes even better. All around good product. Would buy another one if needed out of 10

Artic nova 1
To be honest, so far I’ve had a terrible experience with this head set, my gameplay goes through my mic so all my friends can hear it, my voice is always quiet, sometimes hear eary sounds coming from headphones, only bought them recent and I only come on my pc a little bit now so it’s disappointing to come home and use something that doesn’t even function the way I want it to. If anything it has put me off spending my own hard earned money on any steel series product in the future.
