The SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless is a highly versatile wireless gaming headset with a ton of excellent features and great sound quality. We saw great battery life, and pricing is extremely reasonable with $100, if you consider everything the Arctis 1 offers.

Great audio performance; both for music and serious gaming; Extremely versatile due to an intelligent wireless dongle implementation; Superbly comfortable; SteelSeries Engine 3 software is easy to use and filled with useful features; Excellent microphone sidetone implementation; Great battery life...

USB-C charging port instead of Micro-USB would be more appropriate; No way to get accurate information about remaining battery life; Doesn't support iOS devices

The Arctis 1 Wireless is a very easy recommendation, easily worth the £99. It’s a simple design with lovely sound, a good microphone and easy to use software. Can’t ask for much more, apart from maybe a Type-C charging port.

20 hours battery life; Comfortable; Simple; elegant design; Lovely sound; Solid build quality

Micro-USB charger; No Bluetooth

Here is our review of the Arctis 1 Wireless Headset from Steelseries.

The SteelSeries ARCTIS 1 is a good headset for the price that you pay. The headset feels comfortable enough for long gaming sessions while playing the part of a set of great quality headphones. The build quality is also above average for the price point.

Very Comfortable on head and ears; Lightweight; Good volume with little distortion; Compatible with many different devices; Adapters included; Great drivers

No lighting at all (only for those who wish for lighting)

There are things I’m not fond of with the SteelSeries Arctis 1 wireless gaming headset. The main one is that the sound is slightly more hollow than other options I’ve tried recently. Secondary is that the earcups could be just a tad larger.

Headband will fit your head; big or small; Soft pads on the earcups; Mic is clear sounding and good for voice chat; Compatible with many devices; most wireless; Easy setup considering its versatility; Good price for what you're getting in a headset

Lacking bass compared to other high-end options; Earcups could stand to be a tiny bit bigger

SteelSeries makes some of the best PC gaming headsets , and the company brought lossless 2.4GHz wireless tech to the budget-friendly ra...

SteelSeries headset comfort; Design (with Cyberpunk 2077 editions); 20-hour battery life; Same drivers as Arctis Pro line; True cross-platform support

Only one dongle; Mic is just OK; A little cheap feeling; Micro-USB port for charging

After trying the Arctis 1 headset with different audio content, we have noticed a signature nearly identical to the Arctis 3 Bluetooth by using the same input which is the Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 internal sound card.

This headset's noise-cancelling microphone ensures that your voice sounds clear and natural. It's designed for everywhere you game, so it can be used on Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, and more. AirWeave ear cushions and the ski-goggle headband make sure you're both cool and comfortable.

I felt that SteelSeries ’ biggest splash of the year was going to be SteelSeries Arctis 9X , regardless of what else they put out this year. It became my easy-to-sell go-to for anyone looking for a solid wireless Xbox One audio solution.
