The cups here are actually a little taller than what has become standard, and while many other headsets provide ample room, these being taller, provide just an extra layer of quality to them, something that I very much welcomed. The cups themselves are a hard plastic, with hinges that allow for some movement on the vertical axis, which is nice as not all heads are created round, but they also hold a little touch that I missed on others. The two ear cups both feature an insane amount of padding, which means even when wearing it for hours, it never feels hard on the ears, but on top of that, the padding is so soft, it lets the air flow through it, keeping your ears cool as well. Of course, regardless of how easy it is to setup or how many devices it supports, if you cant wear it, due to it being uncomfortable, then nothing else matters, thankfully it is a well designed and comfy headset. With all these different connections supported, I was set to have to tweak settings to make the device sound good, but that was a fear that was unfounded as there is no software to use, but more importantly, the headset is solid out of the box.
Perhaps the only downside is that for Xbox One and iPhones, you need to plug it in with the included 3.5mm cable, which obviously removes the wireless portion from the name, but otherwise you are good. On PC it is a little more tricky, as most of them don’t have a USB-C as standard and PlayStation 4 is the same, but they do include a nice adapter cable, that lets you plug it in, the cord is also quite lengthy, which is helpful if your only spare port, is behind the devices. I was all set to expect some set up on it, throwing it in the Switch resulted in an on-screen prompt telling me it was connected, but that was it, even on the iPad, I saw nothing, it just worked. The connection will vary, depending on the device you are using, but for the most part, it is wireless, with the use of a little dongle that you get in the box, this attachment is actually USB-C meaning that it works with your Switch, iPad Pro and most Android devices, simply by plugging it in. The GSP 370 from Sennheiser was the recent headset and that did a great job on PC and PlayStation 4, but the Arctis 1 just dominates the device range, both PC and PlayStation 4 are included, but also Android and Switch, with Xbox One and iOS devices to boot, it really is the one headset that will cover you on all your devices, just with a different connection is all. The Arctis 1 from SteelSeries is one such offer, had just finished another wireless headset review and honestly thought, is it worth it, but I am glad that I did. Lately I find myself reviewing a lot more hardware, not for any particular reason, it just ended up that way and when I get offers to review something, I have to think is it worth my time.
