SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 - USB-C Gaming Headset for PC, PS4, PS5 & Switch - RGB Lights - Hi-Fi Drivers - 360° Spatial Audio - AirWeave Memory Foam Earcups - Super Lightweight - ClearCast Gen 2 Mic

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.

I recently upgraded to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with its performance. As a gamer who spends a lot of time on both PC and PlayStation 5, I wanted a headset that could deliver solid sound quality, comfort for long sessions, and reliable mic performance. The Nova 3 hits all those marks and more!

Software to adjust eq is great, fit and comfort levels are great, sound quality is good and the mice is clear and picks up voice well. The only downside is the cable, it’s a touch too short, stiff and therefore gives unwanted feedback occasionally through the mic.

Let me list the positive aspects of these headphones first, the comfort is great and the overall look of them is beautiful, they felt real good to wear, the mic quality was decent too and I had no issues with that, I also liked the fact you could hide the mic n put it out of sight. When listening to music on YouTube, it had a lot more base compared to my last set (Astro a10) but don't be deceived by the looks and comfort of them, as soon as I hooked them up to my pc and tested to see if they were connected, I was greeted with a weird crackling noise any time I would press the windows volume to see if the sound was working, the actual sound would crackle/cut off as I clicked the volume and from that I knew something was up with them, I still persisted and wanted to test them out more so I opened up YouTube and put some music on and they were fine, no crackles or pops. After that I hopped on some games with my friends (r6) and as I loaded up the game, the first thing I could hear was the menu music cutting out and the same old crackles n pops, so I had to turn off the music because that noise is just annoying, as I navigated through the menu/operators, the exact same sound would happen, I tried seeing if there were any fixes or if I was doing anything wrong but I wasn't, I used the usb c to usb a as the lead wasn't long enough to reach my pc (idk how that could effect the sound quality when in games) it's very annoying as I had high hopes for these headphones, mainly only saw positive comments about them and only a small percentage that were the same/similar issues that I'm having. I just don't understand why the audio is bugged, my other headset is literally 3+ years old and has been used a bunch, like a lot and they are still going strong and provide a 100x better experience compared to this set, I would like to say to anyone who is thinking about getting these, to just not bother and see if you can find another brand because I've done some research on Reddit and there's a lot of other people having similar issues too, regarding the strange crackling and popping sound, it seems as if there's no fix and to be honest, you shouldn't even have to be worrying about these issues when buying a brand new pair of fairly modern gaming headphones, the headphones I have right now have had 0 issues and they have been used almost non stop, I was only buying new ones because the mic had bugged out when in Xbox parties/playing r6, my discord mic quality is fine (strange I know)

good

Brought these for my sons birthday, he chose them himself and is very pleased with the product.

I bought them for my son and according to him is exactly how described. He is very happy( 10 out of 10)

The headset is great, not issues at all but: at low volume while connected via usb the headset is crackling, popping and you can barely hear something. If you increase the volume there is no issues at all but at low volume like 5-20% the popping comes again. There are few threads on web regarding this problem and hoping we gone have an update to fix this.If you plug it through 3.5mm audio jack the crackling and popping dissapears but no rgb lights, so the issue appears while connected via usb. Apart from that the headset is great.
