Hear me out the five stars is if this is the style you like and this is your max price point.
Pros: Decent Quality sound could be better, nice and easy customizability with the RGB lights, comfortability on point. Cons: The RBG is a thin circle as shown and isn’t all that bright and came with micro cracks in the RGB so that was meh as someone with OCD.If you can spend the extra or can save just a little more just go with the arctic 7s or something different. I’ve bought the Arctic sevens and the quality over all was better just minus the RGB lighting.the RGB is nice for the aesthetics but truly if you can spend more or save and avoid grabbing these. like I said if this is your price point and you’re a SteelSeries fan like me grab these isn’t but I recommend just saving and go to a newer pair from SteelSeries.

Between the Razer Kraken and Arctis Nova, Arctis is by far the superior option
Whether by accident or design all my peripherals to date have been Razer, this includes the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset, it was a good headset with excellent sound and build quality, it lasted me for years despite being dropped, stepped on, twisted and bent, the mic finally gave out after i accidentally dropped it in a bucket of water and even then every other aspect of the headset worked.If this sounds like a ringing endorsement of the Razer, it is, so much so i was intending to just buy the exact same headset to replace it. But instead i took a chance with the Steel Series Arctis Nova 3, it was slightly cheaper than the Kraken at the time and in my honest opinion it is better in every way, the sound clarity for the cost is appreciably better than the Kraken and the Mic comes with noise cancelling that i actually use because it works and isn’t a pointless gimmick.But, where it truly shines over the Kraken is the absolutely better software if you’ve owned a Razer Headset you will agree that it can be a pain sometimes to get the software to function properly, and sometimes it just stops working randomly, not to mention there was an entire period of time where the THX feature of the Kraken {yes the biggest selling point of the headset} literally stopped working for months after a Razer software update, no such issue with Steel Series’ Sonar.Another major complaint i had with the Razer is the control box for the THX spatial audio and other controls its an annoying dangling hinderance, it comes with sticky tape but that then limits how far away from your device you can take it, it’s by far the worst aspect of the Razer Kraken, all the controls for the Arctis Nova are flush with the headset and easily identifiable and useable without actually needing to see them.Another problem with the Razer Kraken was the design of the ear muffs made my face a sticky sweaty mess, this made it difficult to wear for extended period in a non-air conditioned room, the Arctis Nova 3 is by far more comfortable and the weight of the headset is noticeably lighter than the Kraken.All in all if you’re looking for a good sub 100$ dollar headset and you inevitably come up with a head to head between this and the Razer Kraken, this one is better by far.

Solid Sound and Comfortable Fit – Great for Gamers on a Budget!
The Arctis Nova 3 Multi-Platform Gaming Headset, and it’s a pretty solid headset overall. While it’s not wireless, the fit is snug and comfortable, and it stays secure even during long gaming sessions. The ear cups are nice and cushioned, which adds to the overall comfort.In terms of sound, it’s decent. The signature Arctis sound is clear, and while it might not be as booming or immersive as some premium models, it still does the job well for gaming, music, and voice chat. The ClearCast Gen 2 mic is a nice touch—my voice comes through clearly, and there’s very little background noise, which is great for multiplayer games.One downside is the lack of wireless functionality, which I personally miss when I’m gaming. But for those who don’t mind being wired, this headset offers great value for the price. It works well across PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and mobile, making it a versatile option for gamers on multiple platforms.Overall, I’m happy with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3. It’s comfortable, the sound is good for the price, and it offers reliable performance across various platforms. It’s definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a solid headset without breaking the bank.

Amazing sound quality.
Ive been using this headset for over 2 years now. And it is my favorite headset. The sound quality is amazing! The app is easy to use and simple to configure. The build quality of the headset is wonderful nothing but great!The ONLY complaint is the 3.5mm to usb C is proprietary!!! So you’re stuck at 3ft. Every other usb c cable can be changed out. So for streaming i use a 10ft usb c to usb c.I look forward to getting the wireless adapter for these soon

Headset muito bom, qualidade de graves, bass, som excelentes, o microfone é claro e de qualidade, a voz sai muito bem, porém, sendo sincero e honesto o ponto negativo não é o headset em si, e sim o software da Steelseries, o GG, por mais que tenha várias opções de configurações e também o sonar seja algo interessante com os pre-sets de microfone / fone de ouvido, depois de 3 dias meu microfone simplesmente parou de funcionar se o sonar estivesse ativo, tentei várias configurações do mesmo para fazer com que o microfone funcionasse novamente, e nada, pensei inclusive que era algum problema do headset em si, então desinstalei o GG e testei, o microfone / fone funcionava normalmente, porém num volume bem baixo, reinstalei o GG e agora sim tudo começou a funcionar normalmente de novo. Depois de 2 semanas após esse evento, o headset continua funcionando sem problemas. Porém, se fosse algum usuário leigo, provavelmente teria retornado o produto quando o software da GG resolveu bugar o microfone do headset.Sobre as caracteristicas físicas do headset, é muito bem construido e confortavel, para mim um diferencial também é o fato de que o cabo não vem grudado no headset, ele é separado, então caso o cabo de algum problema ou quebre (o que aconteceu com meu headset antigo da corsair que o cabo literalmente se desfez), você pode arrumar outro cabo e o continuar a utilizar o headset.O RGB é simples mas bonito, que é o que você espera de um headset, não precisa ser uma arvore de natal para ser bonito e elegante.Fico feliz de ter feito a compra, pois adorei o produto, e mais feliz ainda de não ter tido mais nenhum problema após a reinstalação do software da Steelseries.
