    If you're in a budget and needing a good headset, go buy this one. Arctis 5 ofc is better both for aesthetic purpose but performance-wise i didn't see any difference. And arctis 7 is the dream but too expensive for me, would rather buy cs skins.

    Acheté en 2021 et après avoir testé 4 ou 5 casques qui me lâchait au bout de 2 ans, je peux affirmer que celui ci est vraiment top. Certes un peu cher, mais la qualité est là. Rien à redire sur le son, son confort est incroyable, son esthétique épurée. Seul petit point négatif, c'est qu'avec le temps, le fil retractable du micro s'est un peu vrillé, il est donc à replacer de temps à autre pour être entendue. Rien d'autre ne s'est dégradé après 3 ans de loyaux services !

    Most comfortable headset ive ever used, i sometimes forget im wearing them if the sound is off. Sound is also great. I got them for a big discount so im very happy with my purchase.

    The pads get a bit dirty after a while but its very easy to clean them, just take them of and soak them in some water with a bit of soap. (dont twist the foam)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good for office and gaming
    Reviewed in India on July 17, 2023
    Color: BlackSize: WiredStyle: Arctis 3Verified Purchase
    I was deciding between razer blackshark v2 X, hyperx cloud and steelseries arctis 3, and I decided to get this only because it looked less gamer-y.

    Now for how this performs, the sound is not too loud, but this is better for gaming or voice chatting than music. It's not bad music vice but if you want a headphone for music don't go for gaming headsets but works well for gaming and VC.

    Mic is really good, my office mates and my gaming friends in discord can hear my very clearly, doesn't pick up much background noise and has a dedicated mute button on the side plus volume control. It has retractable mic instead of removable mic but I do not have preference for any so it's neither a pro or con.

    Now for comfort, the first day I used it, it did feel hot but that might be where I was sitting but after that day I never had any issues with this headset. I use it for like 2-5 hours 2-3 times a week in the office and never felt my ears hot or uncomfortable. It is very light so I did not feel like something was up my head. So I can say it is very comfortable.

    As for how sturdy it is, I did not do any bend test or stuff, but I have been using it everyday regularly for a month and it doesn't feel like it will break up or something so I do feel it's sturdy enough for my use case.

    Tl;dr: I will give this 5 stars because it works for what my use is, i.e., office calls, gaming and VC with friends, doesn't feel uncomfortable for 2-5 hours and feels sturdy enough for my uses. Do not get this if you want it for music only.
