About SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 Multi-System Gaming Headset
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
66% liked the solid build quality, but 34% thought it felt flimsy
Within 6 months, the product deteriorated without any damage or drops. I advise against buying it.
I have a big issue with the design of the headphones as they come apart very easily even though they are screwed in.
76% praised for its customization possibilities, but 24% found the options limited
The mute function doesn't work as advertised and it's not compatible with the steel series engine.
70% praised for its comfortable grip, but 30% found it awkward to hold
The ear cuffs are very comfortable and keep my ears cool. They are also big enough to avoid any pressure on my ears.
The headset is not ergonomic as it slides off when I tilt my head forward or backward, as it balances on my head.
I find the SteelSeries headset less comfortable and with poor sound quality compared to my previous headset.
69% appreciated the quiet operation, but 31% found it noisy
The noise level is high and it sounds like talking through a walkie talkie.
62% appreciated the accurate sensor tracking, though 38% experienced lag
I had to download software and adjust the equalizer to improve the sound quality of the headset as it was not good out of the box.
69% liked the lightweight and portable design
After a couple of months of use, the headset is no longer as tight on my head.
