- Reviewed in Canada on October 15, 2023Verified PurchaseThis feels great on your head, the retractable mic is a great feature, mic quality is great, audio quality is great (although because it has no seperate amplifier you are limited to what the Xbox controller can put out - in my case - PC users or some other consoles maybe you can get more volume easily) and it’s a sturdy build.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2024Verified PurchasePlastic died on my old Arctis Pro and gamedac. this headset has very similar sound quality ratings to the Arctis pro, and uses the same connector for the DAC. No RGB but that's okay. Sound is decent and similar. I expect this to break similarly to my other ones in a few years due to the same design, cracked where the headband meets the earcup. Mind you that was after three years of extensive daily use and the occasional drop\fumble. Not a quality issue, just a lifetime durability complaint. This is a slightly older design so maybe the newer ones are better.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 27, 2025Verified PurchaseThis was an excellent headset for the price point, for both XBox and PC. Input and output both sounded clear. Not amazing for music compared to non-gaming headphones, though. Unfortunately one day I put them on my head (same way I always have, carefully) and one of the connectors from the headband to the ear cup... thing... just snapped. Little black ring broke in 3 pieces. So now the ear cup dangles. Sound still works but it doesn't sit right on my head, even after duct-taping it. Not sure how common this is but it sucks having to shop for another headset already after 2 years.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2024Verified PurchaseIn my opinion, the arctis prime is like a more budget friendly version of the absolute masterclass of the arctis 9 and arctis pro. These are very comfortable, and the retractable mic is a great feature. Audio is decent quality, about expected for gaming headphones at this price.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 15, 2024Verified PurchaseWorked fine for a year. Now only 1 speaker works out of 2 with normal use. Putting them on my head and leaving them at the desk lol. Tried with different wires and devices. otherwise, comfortable headphones and great sound.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2023Verified PurchaseGreat headset overall. Haven’t used the mic yet so no comments on that. Sounds great. Very comfortable. Great for casual gaming.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2023Verified PurchaseI am extremely frustrated with the poor build quality, however, here is my technical review:
Audio Quality 6/10 literally nothing special, your average run of the mill sound for a 'gaming headset'
Microphone Quality 7/10 nobody complained in discord or in zoom meetings.
Comfort 6/10 took a LONG time to get the metal band to be less tight around my noggin.
I could accept all of these and be satisfied if the build quality wasn't as bad.
I bought these in November of 2022 (approx 5 months ago) and the input jack on the headphones has broken. I thought it was the cable at first but after ordering a replacement cable, it is in fact my headphones which are broken. One earcup doesn't work now. i used to be a huge steelseries fan but this has soured my opinion.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 23, 2023Verified PurchaseGreat product. Feels great on the head and ears. Sound quality is also amazing especially for fps gamers. The muffs also have a bit of noise cancelling which helps with focus if you're an entrepreneur like me and work in the house with kids running around.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible sound, channel imbalance and driver vibration on left side.
Verified PurchaseTerrible sound, channel imbalance(left side softer) and driver vibration on left side. Do not buy. Wasted my money. Only good thing is the plush build quality. But a headphones is no good without good sound. The Razer Blackshark which I still have is superior in comfort and sound quality.
