Overview

Wired gaming headset

SteelSeries's entry-level wired gaming headset, with a 3.5 mm connection that works with PC, consoles including Xbox, and phones. Reviewers praised its light, comfortable fit and clear sound, but found the bass light.

  • Suspension headband

    A stretchy suspension band and four points of adjustment spread the weight, with memory foam ear cushions. Reviewers found it light and comfortable.

  • Retractable mic

    The noise-cancelling boom mic retracts into the left ear cup when not in use. Most reviewers found it clear.

  • Light bass

    Reviewers found the sound clear and detailed for the price, but short on bass and sub-bass.

3.5 mm cable

Wired only, through a detachable 3.5 mm cable. A splitter is included for PCs with separate headphone and mic jacks.
