High-Quality and Sturdy For ages, my headsets (from other companies) would only last a year or two and I'd have to routinely get a new one. Eventually, I got one from SteelSeries after reading some good things about their brand and it served me excellently for over half a decade. I got a newer model a few months ago (the Arctis Nova 1) to replace the now unusable headset and it not only costs around the same as the first but has clearly improved in every way possible. It's much more lightweight and there's a noticeable improvement in sound quality. They've also done away with the USB thingy and it now ships with an analog 3.5mm cable and an extension cord which proves very useful for my desktop. I'm very impressed with these two headsets and SteelSeries remain my go-to brand for headsets in the future. I recommended SteelSeries to a family member a few years back and he's still very much enjoying his headset (and he's not even a gamer!)

The ol' runaround Don't bother trying to get Steelseries themselves to back their own products. If you can't resolve any issues related to purchased products with the retailer, you're screwed. Steelseries support made me jump through countless hoops with the promise that they would replace a Sensei Ten mouse which developed a defect within three months of purchase. After successfully completing all the steps, including uploading a valid proof of purchase, clear photos of the product from every imaginable angle etc., they just left me hanging for over a year, never once restocking their own product so I could actually get a replacement, until it finally got discontinued, at which point they simply closed my already approved RMA ticket without further comment. Ultimately I ended up getting my replacement from the retailer, who were being difficult at first (which is what prompted me to try my luck with Steelseries directly), but at the end of the day still nowhere near as difficult as the manufacturer. Thankfully we do have consumer protection laws in place here. I would not purchase another Steelseries product if that wasn't the case.

Kind support, harsh replacement policies Support was very kind, but steel series policies for replacement are harsh and ecologically unacceptable: either you have to destroy the device yourself or SteelSeries will destroy it - no repairs. Unless SteelSeries changes to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly or will be forced to change by an EU-law which will hopefully come soon, SteelSeries lost at least one customer. I wish I researched about those replacement policies sooner - there are a lot of confused customers with malfunctioning products they had to destroy themselves.

The one star rating is too much. The one star rating is too much. I was supposed to receive my order today 17/04 between 08:45am-12:45pm, later on I go ant update saying that the delivery will be by the end of the day. Now at 07:00pm got another update saying that the delivery will be delayed one business day. You ruined my day as I missed a lot of other important stuff which I was supposed to do today.

Low quality headset Have used a Steelseries Arctis 3 Wireless for four years. Its low quality quickly become apparent with use. Withinin a year the volume knob and the balance knob started to be loose, and have deterioted further since then. The gooseneck to the microphone broke at one place, without any excessive bending. The silk screen on the led power button was quickly worn off.
