There was still a teensy bit of background hiss, all told, but nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly not enough to interfere with what I was saying. The detachable microphone is also one of the clearest mics I've tested in this kind of price range, as usually they're pretty token efforts at this end of the budget spectrum.
Still, provided you're not a small child or an even more petite lady than myself, the Arctis 1 should be able to go the distance if you've got a big weekend of gaming planned. I was able to wear it for an entire afternoon without any signs of the dreaded head pinch rearing its ugly mug, and its soft ear cups didn't feel like they were digging into my jaw, either.Īdmittedly, I had to have the Arctis 1 on its tightest adjustment setting in order to get a comfortable fit, so it may not be such a good match for those with particularly small heads (although mine's already pretty darn tiny in the grand scheme of things).
I must admit, I was worried about the overall comfort of the Arctis 1 when I saw it didn't have the same ski-goggle headband as its big Arctis 7 brother, but I'm pleased to say its lightweight, reinforced steel concoction was actually pretty damn great. I still have a big soft spot for the Arctis 7 - it's still the best wireless headset you can buy right now, after all, as well as one of the most comfortable headsets ever made - but when every headset in the Arctis family is meant to come with the same 50mm audio drivers and soft ear cushion material, are you actually better off saving your hard-earned money and getting one of their lower-end Arctis headsets instead? To help answer that question, I've got the Arctis 1, the newest and cheapest member of the Arctis headset gang that will set you back just £50 / $50. Until Logitech's G Pro X gaming headset came along last month, Steelseries' Arctis 7 had been sitting unchallenged at the top of my best gaming headset list for absolutely yonks.
