After all, it's not always the easiest thing to bring your Nintendo Switch accessories along with you on your regular commute or on a trip.Īt least there are Switch traveling bags (opens in new tab) out there that are large enough to fit your headphones, Switch console, the transmitter adapter, and any necessary cables you might want. Considering that it comes with the dongle, several cables, and was marketed as being a wireless headset for the Nintendo Switch, I would have expected the SteelSeries to make it easier for gamers to bring everything on the go. My other gripe isn't huge, but I think it's valid - this headset doesn't come with a carrying case or bag of any kind. If you don't have an Xbox One, then this obviously won't be a problem for you. The lack of wireless functionality with the Xbox One is a big downside if that's one of your main consoles. It does work with a wired connection, however, and comes with a 3.5 mm cable for you to plug into your Xbox controller. The first con is a big one - the Arctis 1 Wireless Headset doesn't work wirelessly with the Xbox One. I can seamlessly make an adjustment without taking time away from my game. I also love how easy it is to adjust the volume or mute buttons while I'm wearing them. They adjust comfortably and have a decent amount of cushion.

I wore these headphones for several hours at a time and I never experienced any head fatigue or pressure like I do with some other headsets. It's definitely not the best microphone in the world, but it shouldn't give you any significant problems.

When communicating with others online, my voice comes through clear and loud without issue. However, if I want to jump onto Fortnite, I can easily attach the microphone and talk to my buddies. I love having a detachable microphone cause, let's face it, most Nintendo Switch games don't have a need for one. It comes with a USB-A to micro USB adapter to easily charge the device when the battery gets low. It's not as long as some other headphones, but it's definitely long enough to last you through a few gaming sessions. I was able to get about 20 hours of battery life out of this headset before it needed a recharge. The audio comes through clear and the volume controls have a decent range.

I really like the sound quality on these headphones.
