Great sound, just not the right ones for me
Great sounding headset although I found problems with the comfort side of things. The headset felt extremely tight after around 20 minutes of use. I used them for around 4-5 hours over a couple of days to break them in but it caused such a bad headache that it became unbearable to wear so unfortunately I had to return them. The headset felt very heavy on my head and caused tightness just above my ears. It’s a shame as the sound quality was excellent for the price and the mic sounded great too!

Top quality gaming headphones for all platforms
When i first read up on these heaphones i was very sceptical about specs but after using them on xbox one x atmos app they showed just how good the sound quality is. For online gaming the microphone is retractable and blocks out any background noise when communicating to a team mate which is very beneficial. The headphones are great for long periods of use especially on the switch as there very comfortable and lightweight the only drawback is they can cause sweat and absorb it over a long period

Clear audio and mic - annoying connector
Headphones give clear balanced audio although not booming bass. Comfy enough - low clamping pressure. Retractable microphone is excellent and doesn't pick up my colleague sitting across from me or excessive breathing. Has single 4 pole 3.5mm connector for combined in/out (will fit many laptops, most mobile phones etc) but no adaptors for anything else. Cable is short, and has bespoke end to plug into the headset (so can't get replacement) which is solid so hits my shoulder when I turn my head.

Fantastic
Absolutely fantastic, I don't think I could praise this headset enough. So the design is nice, neat and sleek. The ear pads are comfortable and have a shallow bowl for your ears. The sound quality is fantastic and creates a fully emersive experience. The part over your head is good to as there is an elastic piece that you can lengthen or shorten to a comfortable fit. The microphone can be pulled out really long or just long enough and bent round. Overall will defiantly not regret buying these.

Comfortable, decent sound, easy to set up
This headset has got to be the comfiest headset I have ever got, the pull out Mic is a brilliant idea, it's never in your way if you don't need it and there is no risk off loosing it because you can't unplug it, the sound quality of the mic is clear on both ends. And the gameplay sound is great hear everything your want to and more, it's very easy to connect straight into the optical cable port and a wire from the headset to controller and your done. If you don't mind the odd wire buy these.

Doesn't fit well onto head, quiet microphone
This headset is a bit weird. The sound feels muffled but sounds better if you squeeze it onto your head. After a while of fiddling, you can position it in a way that it sounds half-decent, but it sounds so much better if you squeeze it onto your head rather than just letting it sit. It sounds tinny and muffled because it doesn't fit right. The microphone is also really quiet apparently too. Using it with Discord, I have to shout so people can hear me, even with me being set to 200%.

Brilliant value for money.
I would recommend Steelseries to anyone who is after a crisp and clear audio from a headset with a solid build for a very good price. The retractable microphone is very handy for putting away for comfort / storage and I have been told that my voice chat is of very high quality. The mute button can sometimes be very fiddly to find and the headset can begin to ache after a couple of hours with glasses. But these are small disadvantages for an otherwise brilliant entry level headset.

Great for the price
Great headset and very comfortable I'm 35 with large ears and these fit very well. Easily adjustable my son 8yo has no issue adjusting to his size. Easy to use (Ps4) just connect to controller. Great sound quality, and volume can be changed with the wheel on the back of the left earpiece. Mic is great as it stores inside earpiece and is easily pulled out and back in. Only issue I have had is I'm told I sound tinny, I adjust the mic (closer to my mouth) and sound was better.

Not worth it
Sound quality is below average compared to other products. Had to get a special splitter to connect to PC, it is in the fine print that the cable doesn't come with it. The cheapest sets online come with the cable The cable is too short Mic quality/sound is low, people always complained about not being able to hear me. Mute button sometimes works when pressed and sometimes when it's out. The mic picks up the headphone sounds hence echo loop Not recommended overall

Sound is great and the mic is incredible
I bought this headset mainly for use with the PS4 after my previous headset went quiet in one ear, and I have to say it's even better. The mic is incredibly clear and picks up no background noise thanks to the noise cancelling Keep in mind this is the Console Edition. It is functionally identical to the regular SteelSeries Arctis 3 but uses a shorter wire with a combined mic/audio jack, compared to the regular's longer split wire Otherwise it's perfect

Nice headset, good choice for the money
The headset is good quality and looks great. It’s very comfortable without any stress points, a bit heavy but unnoticeable when wearing because of the band design. however if you have a very small head the band could do with a bit more Velcro on to make it sit a bit higher and if your ears stick out a bit the cups aren’t too deep and can rub against the speakers but this is a minor problem and can’t be noticed much.

Awesome
These are brilliant super comfy not to bulky comfy on the ears sound is great and friends n have told me that when I talk into the mic it's super clear and I love how it retracts you can also plug in a second headset into these if you want to which is a plus ...the only thing i would like is to be able to turn the volume up just a little higher but overall great headphones very happy with my purchase

Best gaming headset
Purchased these as my standard chat headset needed replacing. After looking at reviews online I decided to purchase these at Argos and wow they are amazing. Very comfy and the sound is superb and I now get an advantage on call of duty as I can hear nearby footsteps. The chat aspect is crystal clear and can not fault these in any way. Highly recommend these so go and buy some now.

Dissapointing.
Even though this headset is specifically the console edition, they are way too quiet when plugged in to a console which is ironic. I tried every possible setting and unfortunately cannot be made to go higher in volume. When plugged in to a computer however, the volume level is much louder and can be tweaked to your liking. But yeah, do not buy this headset if you play console.

Very comfortable headset. Good quality microphone
Great headset, most comfortable I have ever had (I’ve had other “high end” brand headsets aswell). The sound quality is very good for the price. The headset uses its own cables with a proprietary connection at the headset but also has a standardised 3.5mm audio jack. Very good headset and brand. Would recommend this product to anyone who needs a headset.

My new gaming headphones
These headphones provide excellent sound with a deep bass, they are very clear. They are also comfortable, as when I wear them I sometimes forget I am still wearing them. They have a nice and sleek design meaning they look modern and new. They are at a very good price and the quality it good. I would recommend these headphones for anyone using a PS4.

Perfect headset for my gaming mad teenage son
My teenage son says this is the best headset he has had and believe me we have gone through lots. He says it is very comfortable and doesn't hurt his ears at all, the sound quality is brill and he can't hear anything else except what he is linked to. Would definitely recommend. Thought the price was great for the brill quality. 10 out of 10 from us.

Overall a Good headset
Only two annoying things about this headset is that the mic is a lot quieter and it needs to be a lot closer to mouth than my previous headset and also the head band can only be adjusted to an extent wish there was a bit more Velcro for smaller heads. Sounds great Nice Matt finish , not a finger print magnet Mic tucks away Nicely

The perfect gaming headset
I originally bought the SteelSeries arctis 3’s and thought they was so good I would invest in a newer pair and to my surprise they was perfect! I will always use this product from now on and that’s coming from someone who swore by turtle beach elite pro’s well done guys you crammed style sound and comfort all in one headset

Great headset
For the money, in my opinion there is few headsets that will compete with this. Sound quality is great, the volume adjusted by a roller wheel on the left ear cup. The mic is retractable and can be placed back into the ear cup when not in use, there is a mute button (for the mic) beside the volume roller wheel. Highly recommend

Perfect for the Price!
I bought this headset as my other pair failed, I did originally want the wireless pair but settled for these. I have to say, these are a lot better than most of the headsets I've tried which are over £100+ Definitely a headset I'd recommend. The adjustable head strap is a little annoying, but other than that, perfect!!

Great budget headset
Great headset that is very affordable when playing rainbow six I can hear footsteps loud and clear and able to pinpoint the sound of any explosions and gadgets being deployed the headset itself is very comfortable and easy to use with the volume rocker and mic mute button and the best quality headset I've used!

Good sounding headphone but not a perfect fit
Pros: Good sound Pop up mic design is great Cons: Headband did not suit for me. It slips on my hair and head phone falls over when I look down. The headphone is bit heavy, which is expected and I was fine with it, but weight is a big factor why it slips of the head even on the slightest movement.
