GBCustomer Support = A+ The reviews below seem very one off or uninformed picky people. My experience was AMAZING. I've had razer, corsair and hyperx devices and the ONLY reason I choose SteelSeries outside of their quality is the customer support. They are usually very quick, helpful, and with my latest warranty experience, it's a little lengthy but super clear. The RMA coupon is something I'm not used to. Very happy with the microphone, headset and keyboard. Have yet to try their mice. Customer Support is an A+!

DEKind 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.

GBShort Shelf Life with Biggest Purchase I've had a number of headsets from SteelSeries in the past which I have enjoyed, but sadly my most recent has been disappointing. The Arctis Pro, which is close to their top of the line, seems to have a weak connection between the headband and the earpieces as the plastic cracked and caused the right earpiece to completely detach after ~8-10 months of use. I have had to hold it together since with hot glue as I consider what to replace it with.

DKLow 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.

GBHigh-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!)
