In terms of sound, the headset delivers sound in a predetermined configuration when used with consoles and mobile games. However, both are completely identical, with the only difference being that the main Arctis 3 product includes a dual 3.5mm extension needed for some PCs, whereas the Console edition does not. SteelSeries are selling separate Arctis 3 and Arctis 3 Console versions of this headset. Since the Arctis 3 are compatible with both gaming consoles and PCs, it is is important to make a distinction here. However, it's not quite there, and a USB, hardware-based real surround option would have brought the overall experience up a notch, but at this price, it is more than acceptable. The virtual 7.1 surround feature works well enough, particularly in FPS games, contributing substantially to a more immersive gaming experience. Sound in the Arctis 3 headset is rich, with a clear range across the whole spectrum.

In this sense, the Arctis 3 are no exception, with its flexible headband and plush ear cups making them a breeze to wear and adjust. Moreover, the size of the earcups is not just for show - everyone in the business knows SteelSeries built its name on a reputation for comfort.
While the ear cups are quite large and the microphone protrudes slightly, the sleek design means the headphones can be used daily - I used them while riding the tube, for instance. 7 The design of the SteelSeries Arctis 3 is quite subtle and the headset is really comfortable Credit: Alessandro MascellinoĪesthetically speaking, the SteelSeries Arctis 3 are quite subtle and ditch the colourful lines and RGB lights of most gaming-focused headsets in exchange for a matte-black plastic design with gloss-black highlights.
