Ok for kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for an immersive sound experience, these aren’t your headphones. That being said, they do what they say they’ll do. You can hear the sound on all the gaming platforms and the mic works well. I do like that it’s a retractable mic so when not in use it goes back into the ear piece. My friends said they could hear me well on it. The on-headset controls work as expected and they are slim and lightweight as advertised. If you’re looking for a decent-ish headset for your kid, this might work. Otherwise, spend the extra coin and get a more expensive headset by the same manufacturer. I have an older, more expensive, pair of steelseries headphones and the difference in sound is night and day. These are hollow, tinny and “just not good” as my husband put it. I wouldn’t expect headphones at this price point to rival the spendy ones, however you get what you pay for. We tried these with the new Xbox and pc gaming (World of Warcraft) and had the same experience with both systems. These will be going to our 10 year old, who doesn’t care about the sound quality as much as we do.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Steelseries Arctis Nova 1 headphones are really nice! The sound quality is perfect and I love using them. My daughter has also been using them for gaming and really likes them. They are comfortable and are a great fit on my ears. They are nicely made and I can tell they will last a long time. These would make a great gift!

Good headset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This headset has a unique design which surprised me. I'm familiar with headsets that remove the microphone when not needed which obviously becomes a problem if you lose the mic. This headset has a retractable mic that blends in with the design so then it is not noticeable if you don't know it is there. The headset is comfortable and provides a wide range of adjustability. It also covers a wide range of audio input without rattling or sounding "tinny". I'm excited to use it in more settings. I can't say it is the perfect audiophile headphones but more than enough for a gaming headset.
