I’ve gone through exactly 3 headsets (The official Microsoft Xbox One headset, PlayStation Gold Wireless headset 2018, and a Razor headset) looking for a viable option that had both DECENT audio and mic quality, as all the headsets I’ve purchased have had build quality issues and terrible mic quality. I’ve given up on picking up a wireless headset as from what I’ve seen, are incredibly expensive. I saw the ad for the SteelSeries Arctic 1 headset and it seemed too good to be true (very cheap price for a wireless headset, and interchange between 3 consoles) and to my surprise, it lived up to pretty much all its claims.
Wireless connectivity works seamlessly with its included dongle, and I have had zero dropouts or latency issues with it on both PS4 and Nintendo Switch. I originally purchased this headset primarily for the PS4, as I imagined wireless headsets were completely incompatible with the Nintendo Switch, but the headset does in-fact work effortlessly and all the buttons on the headset (Mic Mute On/Off, Volume Dial) work on both systems. Mic quality is excellent as well as audio quality, it’s perfectly balanced and not ridiculously skewed towards bass, and the volume can be raised very high on both consoles if you want. Battery life so far has also been great, it’s something I haven’t had to worry about when using and I only had to charge them once every week out of habit. The headset itself doesn’t feel flimsy and seems decently built, It’s pretty light and is surprisingly comfortable to wear, so much I use it also when I’m on my laptop. The only thing that slightly annoys me is that when I switch playing consoles and want to use the headset on it, I have to get up and unplug the headset dongle and connect it to the console I’m using (say, from the PS4 to the Nintendo Switch). This is pretty much a first world problem, but it’s something I’ve come across every once in a while.
Overall I have to say I’m really loving this headset, if you were on the fence for this thing I really recommend you give it a try.
UPDATE June 2020: It’s been 8 months since I’ve bought this headset, and I just wanted to report back that it has held up ROCK SOLID. This thing is by all means not flimsy, and the battery life has held up incredibly well. I’ve been gaming really long sessions, roughly 5-6 hours long each with friends online, and this thing just keeps going with no issues whatsoever. One of the few purchases I’ve made that I can say was absolutely worth it.
FINAL UPDATE April 2021: Managed to get myself a PS5 and happy to say the headset works flawlessly with it. The new thing I love about the headset now is that the PS5 has a USB-C port in the front, which means you don’t have to use the included cable that comes with the headset dongle for USB-A, you can plug it directly to the PS5 and it sits flush and is almost unnoticeable.

Buena calidad
Muy buena calidad de construcciones, bastante cómodos y ligeros, buena calidad de sonido, la batería dura bastante. Solo tienen un punto negativo que es el Dongle USB, para que funcione debes sincronizar los audífonos con el computador, esto se logra descargado el software de la marca y además conectando el Dongle y el cable de micro USB de carga a la vez y si lo haces en un computador distinto debes volver a hacerlo. Un poco tedioso, además no cuenta con Bluetooth para poder sobre llevar el tema.

Comfort 10/10 : Let me honestly say that this is the most comfortable headset i have ever wore in my entire life. I’ve been through Astro A40s, Astro A50s, Turtle Beach ( I don’t recommend btw ) , Somy headsets and this took me by surprise. For a $100!? It’s honestly amazing. The clamping force is really not bad. Doesn’t hurt your ears or anything when putting them on. Also the very soft leather material they use on the Ear Cups is the best i have felt.
Durability 10/10 : Now you may think it looks like a very cheap plastic. I’m gonna let you know that it’s not. They use a very strong plastic & what makes this even better is the very strong reinforced steel they use on the headband which makes it very durable and flexible. This doesn’t mean you can just throw your headset because it’s that durable. As every other gaming headset just take them off gently and place them down gently to avoid any damage. Overall you don’t have to worry about this breaking on you unlike that cheap plastic that Turtle Beach use. If i can compare to another headset in terms of durability it would be Astros. It’s that good.
Sound 10/10 : Boy oh Boy let me just say. When i first hooked these up i was SHOCKINGLY stunned how loud these were. It was to the point i legit had to turn them down a notch because it was that loud. You definitely get your bass, Low, Mids & Highs. You have very good directional sounds so you can hear enemy footsteps from behind, front, ledt & right perfectly well and you can also tell weather they’re up top or at the bottom. Overall the Sound Quality is top tier so don’t listen to the reviews of ppl saying it’s bad
Noise Cancellation 10/10 : Steelseries definitely nailed it on this one. When you put this on you cam barely hear anything in the background. There was times i had to take these off to actually hear what they’re saying. Probably one of the best i seen if you ask me.
Mic Monitoring 10/10 : Now let me get this straight. Ppl said the mic was terrible but they’re wrong . Let me tell you that this Mic sounds very crisp and clear. As far as i stated before with the noise cancellation ppl can barely hear anything in your background with this mic. So if you got a PS4 that sounds like an AC130 taking off this will cover it 100% and i also love the fact it’s w Clearcast mic which is why it’s even better. You can also use the Steelseries EQ Engine to adjust any of these features above to your liking weather you wanna tweak the sounds or the mic etc so that’s a W for Steelseries.
Overall Review : These are definitely worth $100. I recommend anyone to get this if you’re struggling to get a good headset especially the more expensive premium ones. Although this headset does feel very premium if you ask me. You won’t be disappointed with this product at all. By far my new favorite headset along with Astros.

Steelseries Arctis 1 ( Wireless ) 100% WORTH IT!
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2020
Okay let me start off and say that this headset is TREMENDOUSLY GOOD. I been using Astros for years and i kinda got burnt out on it & i wanted to try something new and then i came across Steelseries Arctis 1 Wireless. I’ve heard about Steelseries for quite sometime but never really bothered getting a headset until now.Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2020
