Ultimately, SteelSeries is offering something innovative with its Arctis 3 Bluetooth headset, introducing a feature I've yet to see appear in the market elsewhere. Its main problem, however, is where it fits in the market considering its current pricing.

Good audio quality; Bluetooth feature is versatile and innovative; Can connect to a wide variety of devices; Good battery life

Ear cups are shallow and can result in some discomfort; Microphone could be a little better for its price; Quite expensive

The Arctis 3 is another in a long line of headsets from peripheral manufacturer Steelseries, with the company releasing a series of updated headsets designed to suit a range of budgets.

This is headset is the best. It works on every platform and it has a great mic and the clarity on is great. My teammates enjoy the crispness

I wanted a headset that could be worn for hours and can replace both a pc-gaming headset and a bluetooth tv-watching headset. Turns out this is nearly the perfect headset. It's super comfy, the ski-mask design is great. It last on charge for a long long time.

I got these during the mid winter sale at mightyape for about 140 (inc shipping) and I have to say, these are really good. Comes with 3 cables, a detachable cable that plugs into the headphones and 2 adapters, one for stereo and one for PC. Very comfortable, a bit pricey but still very nice. Mic is the same quality through the arctis line, but its still very good. Sound quality is crisp. NOTE: 7.1 only works for PC, so if you're planning to purchase this for console, music etc buy the console edition which is about $20–30 cheaper.

I truly believe we are in the golden age of gaming. Video games have never been more intense, and pressure-filled. In-game maps are more massive than ever, enemies are increasingly ferocious and graphically games are more life-like than ever before.

Very comfortable; Light; Versatile; Solid sounds

No USB connection; No color; Finicky software; Not the best headset on the market

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

Decent but not perfect comfort, passable audio and nearly unrivaled versatility makes the SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth an great pick for the right customer.

Works in almost any situation; Clear microphone pickup; Long-lasting battery even with Bluetooth

Some build and comfort issues; Proprietary connector; Weak high tones

Decent for gaming. The SteelSeries Arctis 3 2019 have a good sound quality and their microphone have a great recording quality, which is great for online gaming with friends or teammates.

Very good sound and comfy
