Review on Renewed SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless Gaming Headset with USB-C and Clearcast Microphone Compatible with Multiple Devices in Black by Agata Maruszczyk ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, not disappointed.

I bought it instead of the Logitech G533, which was corrupted after the ate. They sit tight on the head, isolate well. I would even say - they sit too tightly, if the size of the head is large - they may press. The battery lasts a long time. A very long time. I didn’t measure how much, but with relatively regular work, I recharge them once every couple of weeks. Range - they hit through one load-bearing wall. I didn’t try 10 m in line of sight, but in a couple of places they squeak around the apartment that the signal is weak. However, they are holding up well. The sound quality - well, it's like that . You definitely shouldn't listen to classical music and jazz in them, small wire fittings sound many times better in comparison. But some kind of smart guy or a modern whining mumbling in the background to start up will work. The built-in equalizer does not give much effect, do not flatter him. There are few highs, the basses are deaf, the middle is strange. The microphone is of good quality. You can yell - there is no distortion - but it is not necessary, and so everyone hears everything. The mute trigger works, although I would have preferred a button, but this is already a matter of taste - someone needs to touch a finger to make sure that the microphone is muted. Yes, the microphone is detachable if necessary. About connectors. Who came up with such nonsense - put USB-C on the transmitter, but leave micro-USB on your ears? Forgotten or scored? In any case, such a decision causes at least bewilderment. The power connector itself seems flimsy, but it seems that it has not come loose yet. Another minor complaint, but this was talked about a lot in other reviews - to the power button. It is none, and you need to hold it for a couple of seconds to turn it on / off. I have small fingers, but even I find it uncomfortable. I can imagine what it's like for people with big hands. In general, these are budget wireless devices that fully justify themselves against the background of the absence of competitors (G533 and Asus, except perhaps the rest is even worse). I took it for a promotion, with a good discount (less than 7000 came out), but now I think that, perhaps, for a permanent job, it was worth paying extra and taking something more expensive.

Pros
  • Soundproofing, microphone quality, autonomy.
Cons
  • Connectors, power button
