Review: Just... Wow. Great value headset - (note: I wear glasses. I feel like this is important to mention with headsets >.>) Honestly, I never expected headphones to make such a big difference in experience. My first headset was a 25$-ish headset that broke, so I decided well, lets try something a bit better from a reputable brand, and ended up buying this one for 40$, and it is worth every. single. cent. spent. Audio is amazing, and it comes with an application you can download that allows you to tweak the sound depending on your use. It did seem a bit overwhelming at first, but its actually fairly simple to use once you get to understand it a bit. The headset does feel a little tight on the head, but so far its not uncomfortable to use for long periods of time, as long as you put it on right. Even while using glasses, this feels ok on the head. If you put it on wrong however, like I did when I first got it, it would be very uncomfortable and even painful. My only complaints would be that, because its all plastic and feels a bit hard, I get worried about breaking it and try to use it as gently as I can. However, I have seen a Youtuber do a review of this headset and he stretches it beyond what my heart can handle without breaking, so there's that little bit of relief found there xD. The 2nd complaint is the short wire length. Would have loved having it be a bit longer, but its not bad. Overall, my experience with it has been pretty well. So well that, despite the 2 complaints I listed above, I'd still be willing to give this a 5/5. (edit: 4.5 now, due to below issue) Edit: after using it for a couple months, this headset is amazing and is no longer as tight on the head. However, now I'm facing a new issue, and that is the mic wont fully retract into the headset and would get stuck like there is something blocking it from being pushed into its slot. This comes and goes and I have to use some level of force here and there to get it fully in, but out of fear of breaking it, I stopped doing that. Still, because I only use it for the pc, its not really much of an issue except when I'm eating. For that inconvenience, id drop the review to 4.5. Would still buy a steelseries though because its a fantastic audio experience.
Review: Great product for the price! - I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 Multi System headset and honestly it surprised me in a good way. The first thing I noticed was how comfortable it is. The ear cushions are soft and it doesn’t clamp too tight, so even after a few hours of gaming or watching videos, my head doesn’t feel sore. Sound quality is clear and balanced. Footsteps and small in game details are easy to hear, which actually gives you an advantage in competitive games. Music sounds clean too, not overly bass heavy but not flat either. It feels well tuned for everyday use, not just gaming. The microphone is another strong point. My voice comes through clearly and teammates have not complained about background noise or distortion. For a headset in this price range, the mic quality is better than expected. What I also like is that it works with different systems without any hassle. I can plug it into my PC or console and it just works. No complicated setup. Overall, it feels like a smart buy if you want something comfortable, reliable, and good sounding without spending a crazy amount of money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The screw coming loose is an easy fix
*by L***A on November 10, 2024*

I have owned these headsets for over 2 years and yes the screw comes loose about once a year, but you just tighten it back in and you're good to go. These are the MOST COMFY I have ever owned, and I wear these for many many hours at a time, and these are the least sweaty/irritating headphones I have ever owned in my life. My mic is one of the clearest sounding on all the games I've played. If someone ever complains about my mic, I just unplug it from my controller and plug it back in and it's magically fixed. People who complain about the screw can't appreciate the overall quality of these headphones in comparison to any other headphones on the market today. They were voted best budget headphones in the market because it's true. These Nova 1 headphones have lasted me years already, when others just haven't and we're just uncomfortable to wear. These are great for me, no major complaints.
