Very soft, comfortable, and looks great; I love the customization on the headband (more available sold separately); Software and sound is great for this price level; I don't think anything compares at this price point
The mic is way too sensitive to background noises; Even with software adjustments, people have complained they can hear background sounds being way too amplified
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
Incredibly annoying software; Headsets with similar features are far cheaper; Bi-directional microphone can pick up background noise without specialist software; Arctis 5 costs only a little more and is better
