The Arctis 3 is a perfectly good headset, offering high-quality sound for both gaming and music, along with a comfortable fit.

Comfortable fit; Good sound quality; Clear mic

Hard to customize; Music sounds great only on PC; Weakest headset in Arctis line

SteelSeries already has the Arctis 3 gaming headset out on the market for folks to pick up at an inexpensive price of $79.99USD. SteelSeries took that same headset and made it even better by adding in Bluetooth capabilities allowing you to use the headphones for Discord/Nintendo Online chat via BT,...

Many have hailed SteelSeries over the past few years as making the best gaming headsets around, and for good reason. We didn't award SteelSeries the top spot in our best gaming headsets guide , but the SteelSeries Arctis 5 certainly made the list.

SteelSeries makes gaming gear with longevity and versatility, from mice to keyboards to headsets. So I was more than happy to give their latest entry level headset, the Arctis 3 7.1 Surround Gaming Headset, a run through its paces. Does it meet up to the expectations of entry level gaming headsets

I was really happy with how the SteelSeries Arctis 3 performed, overall. The Arctis 3 presents a fairly neutral audio signature that is close to the Arctis 7, with solid clarity in all ranges.

The SteelSeries Arctis 3 are a very competent gaming headset available for a surprisingly low price. If you're on a tight budget, this headset will likely give you the best bang-for-your-buck performance you can find.

The audio situation with the Switch is a little weird, cumbersome and just plain harder than it needs to be.

SteelSeries has once again released one of the most comfortable gaming headsets in the market with the Arctic 3 (and probably the 5 and 7 models as well – reviews soon) so if you happened to like your "older" Siberia model you will not be disappointed (same goes for its build quality).

Good Build Q uality; Design (Also Available In Black & White; Very Comfortable; Good Audio Quality; Bass Levels; Engine 3 Software

Price (Too Close To The Arctis 5; Lengthy Procedure To Enable 7.1 Surround Sound; 3.5mm Connectivity Only; Positioning Audio Accuracy

Ive used alot of headsets and this is by far my favorite, the sound quality is great with music and gaming which are my pickiest thing in a headset... every genre of music has the correct tones and every game i can hear the foot steps and background noise to every detail well worth it.

My product didn't work at all. I tried it on my computer, no sound came out. Tried them on my iPad, no sound. Used my old pair of headphones on both computer and iPad and I get sound! I'm pretty sure it's a product defect, but I'd expect better from a company like Steelseries...
