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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not exactly what I wanted, but basically everything is fine.

I will spend most of my time berating you because there has already been enough pink snot drew here, but there are very few problems. Sound quality is improved, which is a plus when playing 3D games and when listening to music. The quality of the microphone is not something that bothers me in the least. Now for the negatives: 1) There is no Bluetooth connectivity; the headset can only be used with radio transmissions and its own dongle, which can only be inserted into a USB type C port. That is, in-flight phones with a micro USB port; 2) the power button is activated by holding it down for an extended period of time. Although it is not pleasant, a standard toggle switch that is both convenient and normal has been placed in place to silence the microphone. 3) The volume wheel has been shaking and rattling ever since it became loose during the past month. It does what it's supposed to, but it has an oddly Chinese feel to it; 4) the microphone won't move in or retract upwards. Just removal and placement are possible actions with it. Minijack connector for the microphone. In addition, you are required to keep it in a glass container designed for pens. In light of this, in order to transition from regular games or music to audio conversation, you will first need to take the headphones from your head, locate a microphone in the glass, plug it in, then replace the headphones on your head and activate the toggle switch on your left ear. That is really lengthy as well as bothersome. If you take all of this into consideration before making a purchase, the headset is not a terrible option overall.

Pros
  • Sound quality is satisfactory, and there have been no issues with the microphone.
Cons
  • The lack of bluetooth is a drawback, as is the fact that it can only be used in conjunction with the Micro USB type C dongle. A multitude of ergonomic concerns
