The smaller form factor is likely a big reason why the audio quality isn't up to par with higher-priced models on the market, as expected, but it does mean they're much more usable in a normal everyday setting. The Arctis 1 is blessed with a very light, low profile, as well as an unobtrusive design that is frankly much smaller and thinner than what you would typically expect out of a 'gaming' headset. Headsets are functional, but they're also something you wear on your body - often in public - so design is a crucial factor. No Bluetooth required.īefore we get into the nitty-gritty details of performance and tech specs, it's important to analyze the visual design. It can also plug into anything else you own with the included 3.5mm cable.

For $100 you can get a headset that easily works with your PC, Switch, Android device, and PS4 wirelessly. Good gaming headsets are often regarded as expensive and far too cost-prohibitive to be worth purchasing for the average consumer, but a headset like this changes the conversation a bit.
