It's a great headset

Great affordable headset. You won't get tremendous audio from them, but it will get the job done. Comfortable. Just remember to adjust the strap that goes on the head. Which is located under the bar that goes on the head, for a nice comfortable fit.

These Headphones are the best on the market for price, and quality. If you dont want to splurge triple digit prices this is an amazing purchase.

Its very light

It is very light so you dont get as much of a headset dent as you would from other headsets.
Its sound quality is also very good.
The one thing I didnt like was the Way you had to set it up with your computer, I found out that you had to push in the cable to the headset a little too much for comfort, but if you dont Care about that then its a great headset

Really comfy and good quality!

Received it about it 3 weeks ago and it's only been amazing since. The headband can be moved around if you need it tighter or looser. The design is fairly minimalistic, the retractable microphone allowing for a less gamer-y look when you go outside wearing your headphones to listen to music. Only downside is that the ear-cups press down hard on your glasses if you wear them, so it hurts a bit until you get used to it.

Worth what you pay for

I’ve bought headsets for this price range for pretty much ever, as a budget option that weren’t as comfortable or quality as the Arctic Nova 1 has been.
In fact I’ve noticed a generally better experience including audio quality all around from other brands I’ve tried.
I am particularly fond of the cloth ear-cups, Any headset I’ve used before has been made with materials that don’t last, and begin to fray and tear in small pieces, not to mention not every headset comes with detachable ear cups.
So to pay in the same price range and have a product that really doesn’t have any of those big quality or comfort faults. (Expecting to get what you pay for.) is refreshing to say the least.
If I had any complaints I would want slightly bigger/deeper ear cups. But my ears are just a little bigger, so I wouldn’t blame the design for that.
