SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 Headset Review - Honest Facts

The SteelSeries Nova Arctis 1 headset, wired edition, at $59.99 should be an excellent value depending on how much it shares with its more expensive siblings. In this review I discuss all the pros and surprisingly few cons.

Prob best channel on utube with this kind of reviews

[dondon-jfmy]

steelseries retractable mic is amazing design, a mix between detachable and built in mic, allowing us to not worry about losing the mic when you take it out.

[bonanzabrandon]

They need to make the other Nova headsets in white.

I'm using the ps5 headset and wanted a budget friendly spare and your review definitely helped and I ordered the nova 1. Thank you for your help

As an adult clamping force gives me headaches. I would love them if i was a kid too

[Grvmps]

Cheers for the video! I have been researching some Xbox headsets and your videos have been by far the most informative. Due to budget (and how expensive things are in Australia) I am deciding between the Recon 500, BlackShark V2 or the old HyperXCloudX. Not an easy choice! I also hope SteelSeries come to the party for you, and many other companies, because you deserve their support...and you seemed a bit sad in this video :(

Great review as always. Not for me, but thanks for the hard work

i normally buy like 300 dollar headphones but i just bought these because they just seem like the right deal for the price and i been leaning towards spending less lately since i upgrade stuff literally every year, im just tired of paying the top premiums for things . so im hoping they work out

[MAUND.]

Hey man new here and enjoying the content just finished the nova 7 wireless video. I’m leaning towards that option, but if you had to choose a head set for first person shooters (footsteps) what would you go for?

[modlich_]

was really hyped when DETACHABLE CABLE!!!! but then you said it's bad for music

[Almtyhalfbreed]

Have u done Nova 1 vs Nova 3 comparison? Tryna see which ones to buy

[doryn]

What do you think about Nova 1 and Gsx 300 combo?

[Subin_BF]

I’m kind of disappointed in the Arctis Nova One, everything basically work except the mic, please tell me how you got it to work.

[paperrunway]

Nice review, looking between these and the Nubwo N7's for comfort and sound quality

[bilalkhan-uvdb]

So is the detachable cable unique that is do we have to buy them specifically or can we put in any aux cable?

[alwin_kurniawan]

So right now, in my country these 3 have the exact same price, which one should i get?
- steelseries arctics nova 1
- steelseries arctics prime
- steelseries arctics 3 (2019 edition)

[loukas_intz]

i have sound card on my think if i buy nova 1 the headset sounds way better?

[IvanFernandez-sslq]

Bought it about a month ago and now only the left side works, there’s no sound coming out of the right side. I’m honestly disappointed because I like these headphones, I find them comfortable and I use it on my switch to play Zelda, so the price was perfect but now I’m not sure if they’re even worth it. I don’t know if maybe there’s an issue with the cable or the port.

[MS-itfy]

Should I buy these or hyper x cloud stinger 2?

[Jra]

Hey man great video! Thanks to your reviews I was enjoying the steel series nova 7 but I recently just purchased a hyperx duo cast so now I’d rather spend less money on a headset that has a 3.5 jack to connect to it. I’m considering either getting the nova 1 or the hyperx alpha s. I want to make sure I hear footsteps so which one would you prefer? And since I’m going to be mainly in pc, is it possible to adjust the eq on either headset?
