SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1P Multi-System Gaming Headset — Hi-Fi Drivers — 360° Spatial Audio — Comfort Design — Durable — Lightweight — Noise-Cancelling Mic — PS5/PS4, PC, Xbox, Switch - White

I am a hardcore gamer, so when I need equipment like keyboards, mice, and or headsets I always go with "Steel Series". While it is name brand and can be expensive, you get your moneys worth. This headset is amazing and very comfortable. It has high-quality sound that can let you hear things you normally couldnt hear through a speaker. The microphone sound is clear and everyone listening to you can hear clearly without any inconvenient noises thay come with some mics. I also find it convenient that the mic is fully retractable as that when I am not using it I can simply tuck it away. Another thing I like is that the mic arm is flexible and can be moved closer to you or further out most others. As for the head frame, there is a cloth piece that spans the width of the headset thaf is adjustable and or removable. This is very convenient and comfortable as wearing headsets (particularly the hard plastic that sits on the head), for long periods of time can hurt or be uncomfortable. Also the ear pieces are made from very soft breathable cloth and they are big enough to fit around the ears instead of sitting on them or the edges. I have had multiple headsets and all of them sat on the edges of my ears and would eventually become uncomfortable but not with this set. The ears on this set literally fits AROUND the ENTIRE ear and instead of MOST of the ear. Other sets you can feel your ears under the edge of the cover but with this one you can not feel them at all. As far as long gaming sessions I have sat in on a four hour session with this set and the comfort was so great that I nearly forgot I was wearing a headset. It also has a large built in on / off button for the microphone as well as a big volume roll button for volume control.

Update: I have only had these for less than 4 months with light use and for some reason this earpiece snapped off like butter. HOW TO FIX BROKEN EARPIECE: There is a tiny screw that fell out. Find the black screw and then screw it back in and it will be like brand new again. Original Review: I have been rocking these for a few weeks now and I'm impressed with the sound quality, but it would have been nice to show me how the mute button works, because it's kind of hard to tell if it should be pushed down or not for it to be muted at first. But, these headphones are superior quality and the retractable mic is the bomb. It's just difficult to push in and pull out sometimes cuz it's so bendy, but I don't have to worry about it breaking easy, because they're great quality and they sound great too!

Plugged it into my computer and was testing audio, immediately the microphone was not working. I turned up input volume to 100% and still couldn’t hear a thing from the audio test. I had to basically put the microphone in my mouth to hear what I was saying, and even at 100% it was super faint and barely audible. If you’re screaming people might be able to hear you, otherwise tough luck. Don’t recommend if you actually need the microphone; and if you don’t, pick a different headset.

Wonderful sound, blocks out a lot of noise. Steelseries always comes correct with even their cheaper products! I use this for my ps5, switch 2, and sometimes my MacBook and it works flawlessly. The mic is very good and being retract it in and out is a great feature. They are also so comfortable! The headband makes it feel like there is a barely anything on your head. Super light! Truly plug and play. Volume control is a little touchy but works just fine.

I’ve been using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1P for a few weeks now, and overall it’s a solid choice if you want a wired gaming headset that’s comfortable, versatile, and sounds great for the price. 🎮 Sound & Performance: The audio is clear and well-balanced, making it easy to hear footsteps and directional cues in shooters as well as enjoy movies or music. It supports 360° spatial audio and delivers good positional awareness for gaming. 🎧 Comfort: These are lightweight (around ~236 g) and comfy for long sessions thanks to adjustable headband and breathable ear pads. They sit nicely even with glasses. 🎤 Microphone & Controls: The ClearCast Gen 2 noise-canceling mic does a good job keeping background noise down and makes your voice easy to hear in game chat. On-ear controls for volume and mute are handy, and the universal 3.5 mm connection works with PS5, Xbox, PC, Switch and mobile devices without adapters. ⚠️ A Few Things to Know: The cable can feel a bit short on PC setups and sometimes requires a Y-adapter. Some users note that customizing EQ via software can take a bit of learning. There are occasional reports online of mic detection or durability quirks, but these seem to be edge cases rather than the norm. Bottom Line: If you’re after reliable wired performance with good comfort and clear audio for gaming and voice chat, the Arctis Nova 1P is definitely worth considering — especially if you plan to use it across multiple platforms.

Each SteelSeries I’ve bought has been raved about. My brothers, boyfriend and I all love them. They sell themselves. Comfort, quality sound and quality made AND affordable. Even their base models hit all the marks, noise cancellation and volume adjustability and having a working mic. Never have anything bad to say about a SteelSeries. My brother doesn’t treat his stuff well but loved his set so much in comparison to other headsets that he used his SteelSeries for years after breaking part of the band, rather than using a perfectly new TurtleBeach. If it’s not SteelSeries, it’s not for us.

Bs add I bought one cus it says Xbox is compatible and to my surprise I got fingered

Second steel series headset, great affordability, great quality for the price, great sound quality, very comfortable

Way better than expected. Was very comfortable, should build. I did not expect mic being able to retract is such a great QOL. Software is ez to setup.
