Steelseries Arctis 3

The Arctis 3 is SteelSeries' new gaming headset with virtual 7.1 surround sound. The Arctis is designed to look subtle and classy compared to other gaming headsets. It's a reasonable headset but if your budget will stretch then we'd recommend buying...

The Arctis 3 look great, are comfortable to wear and benefit from decent sound quality - but they just don’t offer enough to rival other headsets in the same price range.

SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth review

Not perfect, but incredibly versatile

Works in almost any situation ; Clear microphone pickup ; Long-lasting battery even with Bluetooth

Some build and comfort issues ; Proprietary connector ; Weak high tones

Decent but not perfect comfort, passable audio and nearly unrivaled versatility makes the SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth an great pick for the right customer.

SteelSeries Arctis 3 Review

Featuring high quality audio drivers, a re-engineered microphone, and some of the most comfortable materials around, SteelSeries challenged every aspect of the gaming headset; the result is the Arctis.

SteelSeries Arctis 3 Review: Solid Performance, Inviting Price

The SteelSeries Arctis 3 is a good headset. It's not a great headset; that honor is reserved for the Arctis 5 and 7 . It's one of the better options in the $80 range — noticeably better than the Kingston HyperX Cloud II , for example — but its obtuse...

Comfortable fit ; Good sound quality ; Clear mic

Hard to customize ; Music sounds great only on PC ; Weakest headset in Arctis line

The Arctis 3 is a perfectly good headset, offering high-quality sound for both gaming and music, along with a comfortable fit.

SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth Review: A Gaming Headset for Daily Life

The SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth is a better version of an already excellent headset. But is it $50 better than the standard Arctis 3? That's harder to say.

Excellent design ; Bluetooth adds a lot of versatility ; Comfortable and lightweight ; Impressive audio quality

Much more expensive than standard model ; Doesn't work wirelessly with consoles

The SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth is an even more versatile version of one of the slickest and comfiest gaming headsets around.
