All-Platform Gaming Headset

The SteelSeries Arctis 3 in Solar Red is a circumaural headset built for players who move between PC, consoles, VR and mobile. It connects through a 3.5mm jack and includes a dual 3.5mm extension cable plus a four-pole adapter for broad device support. The 10.0 feet main cable gives generous reach for living-room setups. The ClearCast bidirectional microphone aims to deliver clear voice capture with background noise reduction.

Ski Goggle Headband & AirWeave Cushions

This model suits gamers who value long-session comfort and a single headset across multiple platforms. The ski-goggle suspension band distributes weight without pressure points, while AirWeave fabric ear cushions help keep ears cool and dry. Buyers who need wireless freedom, USB audio processing or active noise cancellation should look elsewhere, as the Arctis 3 relies on a wired analogue connection and passive isolation only.

S1 Drivers & 7.1 Surround on PC

The 40mm S1 speaker drivers produce a 20Hz-22KHz frequency response with under 3% distortion at 98dB sensitivity and 32 ohm impedance, handling game sound, music and movies with a balanced presentation. On Windows 7 or later the SteelSeries Engine enables 7.1 virtual surround for positional audio; on Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, VR and mobile the headset runs in stereo. The ClearCast microphone operates at 100Hz-10KHz with -48dB sensitivity and ~2.2K ohm impedance for clear chat.

Questions about this item

Does the headset need a separate power source or USB connection to work?

No, the headset uses a 3.5mm connector and draws power from the device it is plugged into, so no extra power source is required.

Will the 3.5mm connection and 10.0 Feet cable length work with my older console controller that has a single 3.5mm jack?

Yes, the included 3.5mm 4-pole adapter lets you plug the headset into a single combined audio jack on older controllers or laptops.

How can I check that the ClearCast microphone is picking up my voice clearly after setup?

Use the microphone test in your system sound settings or a voice recorder app; you should hear studio-quality voice clarity with background noise reduced by the bidirectional design.
