The SteelSeries Arctis 7 is a phenomenal-looking, customizable wireless headset equipped with high-quality 40-millimeter audio drivers capable of delivering stereo and DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound.

Bought this headset as my old creative HS-1200 were a bit worse for wear. The difference is night and day! It has a great feature for gamers who use separate comms like mumble or discord.

Just like many others i too first discovered just how useful a good headset (or pair of headphones) can be while on the road (mainly while using public transportation) when i got my first SONY cassette player back in the early 90's.

- Good Build Q; uality; - Design (Also Available In Black & White; - Very Comfortable; - Good Audio Quality; - Bass Levels; - Engine 3 Software

- Price (Too Close To The Arctis 5; - Lengthy Procedure To Enable 7.1 Surround Sound; - 3.5mm Connectivity Only; - Positioning Audio Accuracy

SteelSeries makes gaming gear with longevity and versatility, from mice to keyboards to headsets. So I was more than happy to give their latest entry level headset, the Arctis 3 7.1 Surround Gaming Headset, a run through its paces. Does it meet up to the expectations of entry level gaming headsets?

This review is based on a SteelSeries Arctis 3 headset provided by the publisher. The Arctis 3 is now available at an MSRP of $79.99.

They have sometimes some small problems with data transferring and are because of the material they are made of a bit warmer than I expected them to be but overall I think they are pretty good so I would recomend them.

Good quality sound and wireless works great

The are just about load enough but at max volume all the time

+ Overall high quality + Good sounding mic (especially background noise cancelling) + Worked out of the box with my phone + Extra long cable with a jack splitter made it easier to use when on my PC - Headstrap and clamping force low (it slips my smaller head easily if I look down at all) -...

Software is poorly designed, charging mechanics are poorly designed (the headset HAS to be on in order to charge. What Why), and sound quality is equal or below any other headset in the price range. Mic does not pick up well in discord, cutting in and out. Overall very displeased with the product.

really not a whole lot more i can say besides the title! was comparing these with the corsair hs70 pro and ultimately the price match i got from best buy sealed the deal. the biggest takeaway i had before purchasing was how these felt on my egg shaped head.
