Review: Good quality and value for WFH - Wife and I both got a pair. We find them comfortable, light, and love the flex boom feature. The only gripe for me is the left ear pod is where the phono-USB cable attaches and it's short length leaves little room for relaxed movement as my PC case is on my right and no convenient way to rearrange the configuration. So it's a personal problem I'm working to solve. Use the included drivers for usb-usb cable connectivity and all features (lighting, sound control, auxillary volume) which is how my wife uses it. Or skip the drama and use them with phone port output and use the volume and mute controls on the left ear pod, and no lighting - fine with me! Comfort, flexibility, sound = great value. Only complaint is that the mute button is too easy to accidently trigger when picking up and setting down - so always try to be mindful and check it, or sound check when joining game or meetings.
Review: Between the Razer Kraken and Arctis Nova, Arctis is by far the superior option - Whether by accident or design all my peripherals to date have been Razer, this includes the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset, it was a good headset with excellent sound and build quality, it lasted me for years despite being dropped, stepped on, twisted and bent, the mic finally gave out after i accidentally dropped it in a bucket of water and even then every other aspect of the headset worked. If this sounds like a ringing endorsement of the Razer, it is, so much so i was intending to just buy the exact same headset to replace it. But instead i took a chance with the Steel Series Arctis Nova 3, it was slightly cheaper than the Kraken at the time and in my honest opinion it is better in every way, the sound clarity for the cost is appreciably better than the Kraken and the Mic comes with noise cancelling that i actually use because it works and isn't a pointless gimmick. But, where it truly shines over the Kraken is the absolutely better software if you've owned a Razer Headset you will agree that it can be a pain sometimes to get the software to function properly, and sometimes it just stops working randomly, not to mention there was an entire period of time where the THX feature of the Kraken {yes the biggest selling point of the headset} literally stopped working for months after a Razer software update, no such issue with Steel Series' Sonar. Another major complaint i had with the Razer is the control box for the THX spatial audio and other controls its an annoying dangling hinderance, it comes with sticky tape but that then limits how far away from your device you can take it, it's by far the worst aspect of the Razer Kraken, all the controls for the Arctis Nova are flush with the headset and easily identifiable and useable without actually needing to see them. Another problem with the Razer Kraken was the design of the ear muffs made my face a sticky sweaty mess, this made it difficult to wear for extended period in a non-air conditioned room, the Arctis Nova 3 is by far more comfortable and the weight of the headset is noticeably lighter than the Kraken. All in all if you're looking for a good sub 100$ dollar headset and you inevitably come up with a head to head between this and the Razer Kraken, this one is better by far.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work with xbox?**
A: It won't work wirelessly,but if you use the 3.5mm audio cable it comes with you can use it on xbox

**Q: Is the sound quality comparable to Beats!**
A: Beats are just selling the brand Beats by Dr.Dre . They are stylish headphones with terrible quality relative to their price , so yes Steelseries Arctis 7 is way better , but if you are chasing good sound quality i don't think the Arctis 7 is for you because it delivers side features for gaming like the mic and Dts support which takes a big share of the money you paid so if you looking for superior sound quality headphones you should consider Bose i think it is the best company that makes top tier speakers , if you want a headphone that can serve for both gaming and music then stick with the Steelseries Arctis 7 or the sennheiser if you can afford it .

**Q: Does this come with a 3mm cable for Xbox controller?**
A: Yes And Good For Ps4 Controller

**Q: Do these have good directional sound on the PS4?**
A: No unless you configure it with a PC

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a solid 4-4.5 star overall, just too tight on the head.
*by D***. on June 19, 2023*

I wanted to like these, i really did.. Cloth earpieces, not my first choice, but, these were fairly comfortable, at first. i prefer a bigger ear piece, one that doesnt press against my hear , but covers it entirely. a bit too tight on my head as well, after a short while, it was getting uncomfortable. mic quality is good, as these are one of the better wired headsets out there. but, i couldnt keep them as the comfort factor on them was bordering on painful after about an hour of gaming. sound is really excellent. very crisp, and i have tinnitus bad ( ringing in the ears ). had they had a better ear piece design, i would absolutely have kept them. SO.. if they fit you or you dont mind a bit of a more secure fit, these will do you well. one of the best sounding of the 4 headsets i bought to try out. build quality is very good, look and feel solid, given their price point, as good as some costing a good deal more, and sound just as good. recommend if you dont mind a bit of a snug fit, both against your head, and around your ears..
