After trying the Arctis 1 headset with different audio content, we have noticed a signature nearly identical to the Arctis 3 Bluetooth by using the same input which is the Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 internal sound card.

SteelSeries is attempting to capture the attention of gamers on-the-go and stay at home gamers with one headset, the Arctis 1 Wireless.

Logitech Pro X Gaming Headset

This headset's noise-cancelling microphone ensures that your voice sounds clear and natural. It's designed for everywhere you game, so it can be used on Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, and more. AirWeave ear cushions and the ski-goggle headband make sure you're both cool and comfortable.

I felt that SteelSeries ’ biggest splash of the year was going to be SteelSeries Arctis 9X , regardless of what else they put out this year. It became my easy-to-sell go-to for anyone looking for a solid wireless Xbox One audio solution.

Looking for a wireless gaming headset for Nintendo Switch? Then it isn't difficult to recommend the Arctis 1 Wireless. Despite its dull aesthetic, build quality is both sturdy and flexible.

You should only look elsewhere if the surround sound omission is a deal breaker.

Wireless use on Switch and other platforms is flawless; Audio is surprisingly punchy and clear for the asking price; Mic is detachable with decent speech quality;

Aesthetic is bland and lifeless for the brand; No surround sound;

Steelseries has a wireless answer for this, and it's a surprisingly flexible and economical one. The $99.99 Arctis 1 Wireless gaming headset uses a USB-C dongle to connect wirelessly to your Nintendo Switch, enabling game audio with voice chat, and thanks to a USB-A extension cable and a 3.5mm connection, it can work just as well with your PC or any other game console. If you've been looking for a way to talk trash on Fortnite with your Switch without using any wires, the Arctis 1 is a compelling headset, though its audio performance doesn't measure up to similarly priced wired options. Design The Arctis 1 Wireless is built similarly to the wired Arctis 1, with a fairly s...
