5.0 out of 5 stars Lasts for ages!!! Very comfortable, great sound! Very good if you are Neurodivergent!

I have a serious problem with wired headphones. For some reason, even wired headphones that I take very good care of end up with the wires getting pulled in just a way where one ear will stop working, or they only work when you twist them into a specific angle when plugged into your phone, etc... but these headphones are different. I wear my headphones almost 24/7 because I have autism and it helps soothe me, and I listen to loud music all the time as well as using them for gaming and using them for voice chats. These headphones can do it all. They are lightweight, affordable, AND I can wear them in bed while laying on my side for ages without feeling like my ear is going to fall off or explode. The removable microphone is very nice too as long as you don't lose it.

I use these headphones every day and have been using them for over 3 years, only having to buy a single replacement pair whereas most headphones only last me like 4-5 months if I'm lucky, even ones at twice the price. The adjustable dial on the headphones themselves is perfect for quick adjustments, and the sound quality is very nice. I haven't noticed much sound leakage (sound escaping the headphones when turned up loud so other people can hear your stuff) compared to other headphones at the same price.

If you're like me and you take even bare minimum care of your headphones, this pair will last you forever. I plan on just buying this set of headphones on repeat forever whenever I need a new pair- at least until they stop selling them, because I have NEVER found a pair that's as nice as these, especially on a budget. I would rate these headphones 100 stars If I could.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly perfect headset for the absolute perfect price.

These things look pretty sleek and sound great. Every review I read and watched (and I went through a ton of them) said they were super comfy. I think they feel a little tight on my ears, but they feel more secure than other bulkier headsets.

These have a nice low profile and the detachable mic is great when you're looking to listen music or something on your phone out in public.

At first I kind of wished the volume controls and mute button were attached to the wire instead of the ear cup, but once I got used to the location I wouldn't have it any other way.

They are largely plastic and don't feel like they are the most durable headset. Before these I had a set of MPow Eg3 Pros, which felt far more durable, but we're also far bulkier, less comfortable, and didn't sound as good.

The microphone is great, it feels like it's a bit on the short side, but it's crystal clear.

Don't bother with the console specific versions. From what I understand the only difference is the pattern on the fabric inside the ear cups, and usually cost more. At the time of this writing, the non-console specific version was $10 cheaper.

Are these worth $50? It's a tough call, but I'd say yes.

Are these worth $40? It's a no brainer. You won't get a better deal.

You can spring for the wireless version for an extra $40-$50. They seem to have a few extra bells and whistles but ultimately you could probably do better for $80-$100.

I don't mind a wire, so these are nearly perfect for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mic has issues
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2023
Grabbed these because my old headset kicked the bucket, and my replacement headphones were having issues staying connected (bluetooth).

Now the good news is the sound quality is excellent. Very clear, and the volume control is very granular without being uncontrollable and slow to adjust. I haven't noticed much noise bleed, either.
They do NOT have Active Noise Cancelling, so if you're looking for that look elsewhere. For just standard soundblocking, they work well enough for my purposes.

So. That brings us to the mic.
Plain and simple, it doesn't work with my PC. I don't know if my mic itself is faulty, if something's wrong with the cords, or what. I've tried with and without a splitter-adapter, with and without the (necessary because the cord's maybe two and a half feet long) extension cord. My computer recognizes that there's a mic attached, and tries its very best to pick up... but well, at max mic sensitivity, I'm Extremely lucky if the mic picks up 5% of my voice at normal volume. Most of the time it picks up nothing.

My assumption is the mouthpiece itself is faulty somehow.

Ive had a pair for years and have loved them. When my girlfriend needed a new headset I bought her these because mine have lasted for 2 and half years now. They are comfy and ive never had issues with sound quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear voice tranmission
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2024
Fantastic cheap headset for 3.5mm jacks. Great bass and treble and have had no issues with clear voice tranmission over discord or in game VOIP. The only negative I can think of is that if you have a large head like me even at the largest setting it's a little snug for long gaming sessions.

I picked up the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wired Gaming Headset, and it’s a great all-around performer. The sound quality is clear with decent bass, perfect for gaming on my PS5 and PC. The detachable ClearCast microphone works well for voice chats, and my friends hear me loud and clear. It’s lightweight and comfortable, even for long gaming sessions. The steel-reinforced headband feels durable, and it’s compatible with pretty much every device. The only minor gripe is that the ear cups can get a bit warm after extended use. Overall, a fantastic, budget-friendly choice!
