So, what makes the Arctis 3 so special? Steelseries has focused a lot on the sound signature and mic quality in this gaming headset. This is strange, considering the product was originally listed at $99.99 It is worth noting the Arctis 3 Bluetooth is seemingly out of production and hard to find for less than $200. Different ModelsĪt the moment, only two versions of the Arctis 3 are available. We will review the 2018 version of these headphones, not the latest one. Since then, a couple of newer editions have come out, and the price for the 2018 version has now dropped down to $69.99 on Amazon. I would rather use these for a long night of binge gaming than many of the other headsets I’ve reviewed in the past based on comfort alone.These headphones were originally released in 2018 at $80. Each deliberate step Steelseries made with the Arctis 3 seems like a brilliant choice in design, comfort and functionality, and on that basis, these are great headphones. It supports both traditional 3.5mm and dual 3.5mm for PC, and if you need it, there is an extension wire packed in the box. That ear is also the home to the volume control and offers two spots for detachable adaptors.

Attached to the left speaker is a retractable microphone piece that can actually sit inside the headset when not in use. The fabric under the headband works like a tensor pillow tightening up as the device’s arms slide down either side of the user’s head, while the speaker cushions are soft and provide the perfect amount of padding that makes the device feel natural over the user’s ears.

Surprisingly, I never wanted to take them off, as they sat on my head in a very unobtrusive manner. Underneath the headband lies an elastic cloth, and each speaker has an airweave ear cushion over the earpieces. Flashy stickers aside, the comfort level of these headphones is almost unmatched. It’s a fun little aesthetic addition that goes with the style design. Its outer shell is a hard matte black plastic that looks sleek, and packed inside the box is a pack of stickers to give them some personality. At first glance, the Steelseries Arctis 3 looks kind of basic.
