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
The Arctis 3 is SteelSeries' new gaming headset with virtual 7.1 surround sound. The Arctis is designed to look subtle and classy compared to other gaming headsets. It's a reasonable headset but if your budget will stretch then we'd recommend buying the Arctis 5 instead.
Great looks and incredibly comfortable; Lovely sound range
Bi-directional microphone can pick up background noise without specialist software; Headsets with similar features are far cheaper; Incredibly annoying software; Arctis 5 costs only a little more and is better
